Unused Voice Acting
To do: There's a lot of this, and odds are I've included a few used lines by accident. |
Scratch Track
Present in Sounds/DudeDialog.uax is an audio file called 'dude_scratch_temp'. It appears to be one of the developers reading off various Postal Dude lines, presumably as a placeholder before Rick Hunter was brought in.
Apocalypse Weekend Movies
Full detail audio for all of the Dude's FMV dialog (which is normally both low-bitrate and mixed into the FMV audio) is present in AWDialog.uax. Of these, one line entirely is unused completely, intended for the Dude's dream sequence in the intro:
'Hey, former child star! Say that 'Willis' thing.'
The Proud City of Paradise
It seems at some point, the Dude would be a bit more vocal about his displeasure for Paradise and its inhabitants.
'Damn, do all these people look alike, or what?'
'Definitely some inbreeding going on here.'
'Holy shit! I'm not racist! These people really DO all look alike!'
'Gyah, I feel like I'll get hepatitis if I touch anything in this fucking town.'
'Geez, if the sheriff turns out to be Don Knotts I'm gonna kill everyone and then myself.'
The Rednecks
![POSTAL POSTAL](/uploads/1/2/9/3/129386737/839339666.jpg)
Evidently, the Dude was going to get a few cheap shots in at the new friends he makes on Wednesday.
'Hey look! It's Uncle Dad!'
'Grandfather of Jimmy Joe Billy Bob, cousin of Johnny Joe Billy Jimbo Bob!'
Queues
Playing as a pacifist involves a lot of lengthy, deliberately agitating lines to buy things.
'Hmm, a long line. I suppose it was inevitable.'
'Geez, looks like a goddamn town meeting.'
'Hooo, that's gonna be quite a wait.'
Options Menu
Evidently, the Dude was planned to make fun of people turning down (or off) the voice volume.
'Does my voice annoy you?'
'Does my voice annoy you?'
'No really, does the sound of my voice get on your nerves? It bugs me sometimes!'
Quest Dialogue
'A little scruffy.'
'What for? All the cars in this town seem to be props anyway.'
'Did I ask for cheese?'
'He didn't... I didn't...'
![2007 2007](/uploads/1/2/9/3/129386737/883732178.jpg)
'Gee, that wasn't so awful.'
The Apocalypse
Presumably, the walk home after completing your errands on Friday would have involved an extra map screen sequence and a special set of maps, as opposed to just setting you loose in an open world gone mad.
'Man, this apocalypse is some heavy shit.'
'Mm, lemme fix that.'
'I better get my ass home before some psycho shoots it off.'
'Hmm, this seems like a good route.'
'Damn, looks like it's not gonna be so easy to get home this time.'
'Shit, how far away do I live, anyway?'
Grossman's Arcade
At some point in development there were plans for an errand where you deliver something to the arcade on Main Street, causing the police to surround it.
'I better drop this off at the arcade before anything bad happens to it.'
Damage
'Damn, that stings!'
Taunts
Things the Dude was supposed to say after, well, going Postal.
'Gimme some money!'
'Go long!'
'Hey, I know, you've fallen and you can't get up.'
'Here's some lead for YOU to recycle!'
'Here's your tax relief!'
'If there were stricter gun laws, this sort of thing wouldn't happen.'
'I'm so wrong.'
'I'm so wrong.'
Unknown
'I can relate, bro!'
'I didn't expect that.'
'Nothing to see here.'
'Hmm. Nothing a coat of paint and some antibiotics can't cure.'
'No, more.'
'Just call me Dr. Euthanasia.'
'I'm bored already!'
'Not right!'
Milo Yiannopoulos
The audio file 'BritMaleDialog' contains voice lines for situations that Milo cannot normally get into, such as working as a cashier or asking Gary for an autograph. They can be heard in this video.https://youtu.be/Mb4Jk0nXa2Y
Disabled Scripting
On the Main Street map, there's a priest NPC who tends to spend his time robbing passers-by. There is unused scripting, and even text for the hint system, where the priest would attempt to mug you after you fetched the milk from Lucky Ganesh on Monday. Why this was removed is unknown.

The 69th Achievement
Patch 1412 (released on Steam on December 13, 2013 and only available there as of this writing) added achievements to the game. The game was originally planned to have 69 achievements, but according to a developer, one was removed because it caused issues. A user at the game's Steam forums found a set of leftover achievement icons, and one of the developers confirmed that the achievement was related to the game being played on Linux. The textures are still in the game, but the achievement is not active.
- Locked icon
- Unlocked icon
Text for the achievement can still be found in GameTypes.u at offset 0x2D4FB:

Once considered to be the most violent game in existence.
Postal 2 is one of the most controversial games that has ever been made, mostly due to its explicit violence. People don’t mind if computer games have hundreds of Orks burnt alive, but when you give a flame thrower to a character and allow him to walk the streets, then people kick up a fuss.
The Obvious But Flawed Comparison To GTA
If you have never played or seen Postal 2, then you may think that running around shooting people and burning them is just like one of the later GTA games, but you are very wrong. For example, you could throw a petrol bomb into a crowd and watch them burn and scream. You will then see the scarred and burnt survivors try to crawl away in pain. It is just not the sort of thing you will see in other games.
It’s Raining Fiery Cats
The aim of the game is to get through seven days worth of chores. Every day you have a different set of things to do, and they are all innocent. For example, on the first day you have to pick up milk. You can walk into the shop, wait in the queue, and buy the milk. Or, you can whip out a machine gun, mow down the people in the queue, fight the Korean shop owner with has a shotgun, and take the milk from the shelf. Once you complete the last day of chores, hell breaks loose and it starts raining cats.
The Comedy And Social Commentary Is Clever
Postal 2 Download Free
If you are a little older, there are quite a few jokes you can appreciate. For example, when you vote, the paper is askew so you cannot really see whom you are voting for. There are terrorists hiding in the caves, and there is a gun that allows you to shoot cats. The local butcher serves human meat, and when you try to get people to sign a petition, they tell you to go away with curse words. One of the bosses has the outline of male genitalia, there is an anti-gaming rally outside the developer of the games office, and one of the movies listed on the movie board for the cinema is “Sperms of Endearment.”
Governments Have Banned This Game
This game doesn’t encourage people to harm others; it is just a way of getting involved with a little mindless violence in a familiar setting. It is a form of fantasy fulfilment, especially when you find people that look like your boss or the guy that bullied you in school. Due to its violent nature, you will not see any kids in this game, but you also see very little sexually explicit content, just a few sexy ladies and guys here and there.
Pros
- Change location and the cops and enemies will leave you alone
- The level of violence is fantastic
- A very varied game that has lots to offer
- The game is littered with clever comedy and cynicism
- It is as easy or as difficult as you make it
- A genuinely innovative open world environment
Cons
Postal 2007
- The graphics do not hold up against modern graphics
