Bloodborne Cut Content - Gascoigne Friendly Encounter - Conversation Dialogue Restored 

Another one of those cases where I can't really imagine why they removed this. Did they not want to be too explicit about the nature of nightmares? Keep some mystery around "Are all the hunters in the same nightmare? Or are they all experiencing it differently?". Not sure, really. Either way, good to hear that awesome voice work one more time!

Father Gascoigne sprinting after you while speaking his lines and laughing is both hilarious and terrifying

I love where you meet Gascoigne in the Alpha version as he's outside his home killing beasts so I like to think he's protecting his daughters but because he forgot his musical box, his descent into beasthood is more prevelant

Cut content is always such a bittersweet thing... a peek into what wonderful things could have been.

Gascoigne has such a soothing voice, if he read me a bedtime story I'd drift right off to sleep lol

They probably removed it because they wanted the player to be more isolated with no friends from this world, and removing assist from him to make it more difficult. It's a shame though. Honestly, it could have been cool for him to be an recurring character leading up to the finale, like a chill dude who helps you, you later get separated then he turns crazy and tries to kill you or you meet back up later on, and I'm sure they planned that but threw it out the window like I explained above.

Umbasa.

My mind has only just realised that Gassy boy here, keeps going with the hunt even though he's blind. Purely fighting using his hearing and smell... That's terrifying. Not gonna lie, he's the best boss in the game.

With that voice he goes from "Father Gascoigne" to "Daddy Gascoigne".

I really wish this was kept in the game. It gives a new side to Gascoigne and would have made the fight and the side quests with his daughters a bit deeper.

Soulsborne NPCs just have to end their dialogue with a laughter, huh.

wait a minute, that first dialogue bit- "let there be no doubt, if it moves, you can be sure it's a beast. And if it doesnt... Well, don't take any chances." that sounds extremely familiar Double checking now- Yes! it was used in one of the many Bloodborne trailers! I remember thinking it sounded fantastically ominous

"If it moves, you can be sure it's a beast. " That's the Bloodborne version of "If she breathes she's a thot".

Oh my god, this is so bad-ass. It puts into perspective how "on the brink of madness" he was right before your boss fight with him.

3:00 when he says “beasts everywhere” gives me that same vibe from the cutscene before you fight him in the final game.. “Beasts all over the shop..”

I'd Like the idea of him as a companion, he sounds like a cool mentor dude... A guy can only dream...

I knew that Gasciogne isn't from Yharnam, but I didn't expected he has some simmilar things with Boletaria (5:25)

That uppercut and bullet to the face by Daddy Gascoigne at 1:19

The entire time I was waiting for an april fools joke

Oh, if that last line were to be canon, Gascoigne would be from Boletaria (aka Demon's Souls) Excellent find Lance!

I thought I recognized his voice. Turns out he has the same voice actor as Laddersmith Gilligan.

It's probably a glitch, but seeing Gascoigne fight with the axe transformed in one hand is pretty cool. It looks like a Dark Souls thing, but it also helps to match his height.

Father Gascoigne is one of my favorite characters, and this just makes him even better.

Original Gascoigne reminds of the "Bro hunter" type of guy that we here in south, they are sorta awkward but usually cool guys that are some of the best friends you could have as long as you're into the same kinda stuff he is namely hunts, weapons and the sort.

*Miyazaki wants to know your location*

I must agree, Gascoines VA makes him sound like a lovely, jolly maniac. Such a shame it got cut.

I really wish that they'd kept this encounter in the main game, it would have been really cool to meet another beast hunter that isn't completely mad (Eileen, Maria Djura and Alfred don't count imo, Eileen's a Hunter of Hunters, focused on her blood brethren, Maria's friendly interactions were removed (as you well know), Djura's retired and swapped sides, and Alfred's a Vileblood Hunter). So yeah, a damn shame this was removed.

Just wanna say I still really appreciate the work you’ve done and continue to do even with the game being older now I always watch these videos and it’s amazing to see the hidden insides thanks a lot man

I like how Gascoigne keeps swinging at stuff after its dead. You can tell hes losing it already.

Thanks for the reintegration work. It’s a bit heart wrenching to hear Gascoigne like this, given what happens to him and his family. Obviously deranged and bloodthirsty but still happy to see another hunter and willing to help, moments before he lost it. That’s something they could have kept in I think.

Oof, so Father Gascoigne was already losing it when you meet him in this. That's so sad :( You can tell he's already succumbing to the bloodlust by the inflections in his voice and how he laughs about being in battle - classic part of a bloodknight trope right there. He's retaining his faculties just enough that he can tell the difference between friend and foe.

When we first enter the cemetery , his dialogue somewhat indicates that he knows us from somewhere. Now I know why Your curiosity solves the mystery.... Thank you Lance.

When i hear the word “umbasa” in any other souls game i get a shiver up my spine

This would have been a really cool thing. Imagine other NPCs we meet had a similar plan from the devs, like Alfred or Eileen. As always, nice work Lance! Looking forward to your future work.

This is heartwarming. I knew since I heard these lines quite some time ago that Gascoigne was supposed to be the first friendly hunter you met, I am glad to see those old theories proven true. Well done putting this all back together. Does anything special happen when you play the Music Box in front of (not summoned) Gascoigne? Does anything different happen if you bring Gascoigne to his home? Or is he set to despawn if you go into the Aqueduct?

Thanks for being one of the RU-vidrs that still covers bloodborne. Love the hell outta this game

What would happen if you take Friendly Gascoigne to the Little Girl?

Ohhh sweet game of kos, A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea, accepting all that there is and can be.

I've startet Bloodborne 3 weeks ago. Gascoigne was very hard, but he told me how to play Bloodborne. Its interesting to se that he was once supposed to assist you, it would made the fight even more intense.

It's beyond ridiculous how much stuff was not only cut, but how much of it is still restorable

Great to see this, Gascoigne is my favorite character in Bloodborne, but I can easily see why they cut this. His presence, as a helper, would completely upend that early game struggle for survival we have before getting our first Insight and access to leveling. Also, Soulsborne is a solo-style action game; seems kind of awkward. That, and what if he died before the appointed boss fight; killed either by you, or a beast? That, and is fall would seem rather sudden and it would take away from the punch. This whole thing would have been great to leave in if Gascoigne was a quest NPC like Albert, but not for a story. Although it would have been nice if they let you talk to the Gascoigne you can summon -- they had the lines already.

I really, _really_ can't understand why this was cut, as well as the content with Maria and Simon. But still, thank you so much for this; your videos offer many fascinating insights into what could've been and I really enjoy them!

His laugh is legendary! “Ha ha haa!”

0:40 Ive been thinking for long time how cool it would be if you had multiple encounters through the game with hunters who do their job. Its amazing to see that that was even the plan. Its a shame that the idea was discarded.

Gascoigne is a savvy savage in the cut content. A man you can go to the pub with and win a bar fight.

I summoned him and really like his style and Axe Swinging, though he can't help to dead during cleric beast encounter. Then when I met him again as a boss, I was in shock. He really lost his humanity during this hunting night.

I think it would've really fit Bloodborne's tone if he stayed like this for the beginning, and then we had to end up fighting an old friend.

This is canon. I don't care if we don't see it in the final version of the game, this is an essential part of the story that never should have been removed, at least as far as the interaction goes. This adds so much more to the encounter you have with him as a boss, to see him as an accomplished hunter, but hear from his quips that he's way too ready to slaughter, even saying that it might be best to kill someone even if you're not sure that they're a beast. Even if they had to cut him helping in battle, he should have been interactable before righting him as a boss.

Glad to see you're still finding stuff in Bloodborne. It's my favorite Soulsborne game.

I love his voice and laugh! ❤

Papa Gascoigne is my favorite BB npc... thank you so much for uploading this!! :)

Really amazing work discovering this.

Gosh just think it's your first time playing a from software game you're having a difficult time getting past the burning werewolf and then gain a companion to help, you're having a great time, probably killed the cleric beast finally leveled up again but then your new friend runs off and the next time you meet it's kill or be killed

Shame we didn't fight Gascoigne during midnight. I think his arena looks far better lightining/atmosphere wise in the alpha, where it's dark. Plus, I have no idea why they would cut this stuff. Just develop it a tiny bit further and it's good.

The fact that he takes a while to stop beating the shit out of something after its dead fits his character and the state you find him in during the full game 😭😔

Imagine going out on your first hunt and a 7ft tall Irish wolfman starts seducing you with a soft voice before chopping beasts into sashimi with an axe like it's a guillotine. Rad.

His laughter is everything to me

I like how in Deracine, From has these two easter eggs of bloodborne that refer it as an unfinished tale. I do hope that they want to make a Bloodborne 2

Yes i love the voice work for gascoigne, he really is one of the more dynamic characters in BB, reflecting the possible fate of our own hunter. We get so little of his character in game that this practically doubles his in game characterization. Thanks again, lance.

It is a crime we didnt got that. A progression through the cleric beast "door" and much later boss encounter vs gascoigne wouldve been too good for a single game, so they cut it.

Cut dialogue parts 2:00/3:35 3:00/4:22 5:21

That explains what that cut Gascoigne dialogue was for.

Absolutely fascinating to watch! Thankyou for continuing to upload these Lance. Also excited for when you start to poke around Sekiro. Your work is such a joy to watch!

Even five years later, its amazing how much that is yet to be revealed.

I love how he laughs

I fucking love gascoigne we barely know shit about him but i love what we do know and his fight is great

I think the voice files were seen before, or some anyway, but I love seeing it in game and hearing it again.

Started with DeS and BB is my favorite of the soulsborne. All the cool shit you find cements why I love the game so much, the creators loved it also. Keep it up I will never not click a soulsborne video from you.

I'm coming to this five years late but - thanks for this hugely valuable upload, friend!

At least you can summon him to help you fight the cleric beast, I really loved this character.

wow seeing him being able to juggle the scourge beasts was pretty cool

This is so awesome!!!! Father Gascoigne has always fascinated me. IF there will be a Bloodborne 2... I really hope the the game will be focused on characters as Gascoigne, Djura, Izzy and many more! Not to mention the Powderkeg faction, the hunters that burned Old Yharnam, the ''hunters'' wearing the Graveyard set, the Tomb prospectors, what really happened tp the Mad Man in the chalice dungeon. There are so many unknown ''chapters'' from Bloodborne that I want to know more about!

Thanks for the video!

new bb content in 2019-20???? *the sweet content, it sings to me* edit: AAAHHHH WHYD THEY CUT THIS. a cool concept wouldve been he was there to aid you from the very start (also like a free demo on 'coop' so new players at the time would get the hang of it), and then when you reach oedons tomb he becomes lost in the hunt and perceives you as possibly beastlike

Gascoigne still swinging after the Troll is already dead.

Honestly I really wish they kept it, even if you had to kill him in the end. I like all these little nods to him losing his head too.The laughter at the end of every piece of dialogue, the fact that he keeps mentioning how the hunt feels different tonight and that he seems to be enjoying it a little too much, even the fact that his AI has him hitting the enemies a few more times after they're already dead (similar to how he's hacking away at already dead bodies in his boss fight cutscene). I get the feeling that the idea was for the Hunter to meet Gascoigne on the edge of his descent and then once you make it to the tomb he finally goes off the deep end and turns on you.

There's so much cut content in Bloodborne that they could whole new game from it.

Damn, I wish this was in just for the Gascoigne haHAA memes it'd started at 3:07.

why didnt they keep this, it works for the narrative because we see him kindov insane, then crazy blood drunk later. we see the progression.

"If she breathes, you can be sure she's a thot."

Yes! Very Good Content! Gascoinge character is very interesting! Great Work.

Love ur work man...ur a God for Souls community. We watch all of ur cut content from DS1 to DS3 including BB but a small request we have, plz dont ignore Bloodborne bcz it is the Crown of Souls gaming. Keep sekiro content as well but plz dont forget Bloodborne brother. May the gods guide ur way.

The voice acting is second to none! UMBASA

Woo. That accent. Papa Guac is in the same boat as Eileen with those different accents.

that last bit “Umbasa.” made me laugh an made me get chills the same time

Can’t tell you how happy I am to be learning things about my favorite game of all time in 2019, thanks to you Lance. Thank you!

WOW I wish this had been in the actual game! Incredible... Gascoigne is one of my favourites so this was a real treat.

That laugh would make Mark Hammil proud

Happy Birthday-week Lance!

Thanks for keeping us updated with your findings, Bloodborne is among my favourite games and i'll watch any extra content there is to offer

this content has inspired his story in the board game, wow i didnt knew o thought they come up with this just for variation on the board game, good job

For any British bloodborne fans who also watched Tracey Beaker as a kid - that Gascgoine voice is Mike

Man, I really wish they had left that in. It would've been great for us to develop a bond with him only for him to surprise us by being the first boss of the game, imagine how that twist would've impacted the game and the player's relationship with other npcs! Especially Gascoigne's daughters... damn, as if that wasn't a sad enough story line already. I can understand from a gameplay perspective why they might have omitted this as it could be exploited in the early game or be used as a crutch for rookie players who would be less likely to develop the skills needed to play the game effectively before being thrown into the deep end alone but I feel like the story and player experience would've been all the better for his inclusion as a friendly npc guide and helper until he turns.

Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing it with the community. These sorts of videos give even more depth to an incredible game.

this would make the encounter so much more impactful? like you meet these kids who are worried about their mom, find out your friend has turned into a beast, after using the music boss then it clicks hes the dad, you find the dead mom. now your only friend in this hell hole is dead and his kids are now orphaned. wouldve been interesting if you could send them to the ward. if you clear the beasts and lead them to the ward they get there safe or if you just tell them to go there you find out they died

Feels like he was a twist on Ostrava. Rather than watching him persist to the end we’d see him die (by our own hands) right at the start

Considering you can summon him in that area it's a pity they didn't leave in the dialogue

Great work, Lance! Umbasa

Very cool! I am blown away at how much is still being dug out of this game.

Stuff like this would have made Bloodborne so much better if they kept it there.
