Unused Homie Lines#

Viola DeWynter#

Viola Dewynter, a character that was, up until Saints Row: IV's release, a fully fledged Homie, was likely removed mid to late into development. What was left behind was such a large amount.

Categorised below are her cut voicelines, painting a pretty clear picture of her role in the story. It seems as if, depending on how you interpretate the lines, that she was supposed to be an unlockable Homie, whether it be through a mission, or just as an unlockable bonus character. These voice lines do not line up with Loren's Homie Conversations, however, as he himself asks just what happened to the twins. It seems as if Viola was cut just before Loren himself.

She later appeared alongside her sister in the probably-should-have-been-dlc standalone expansion Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell.

Lines With Various Uses

Dialogue

Description

Been Practicing That

Been Practicing that?

Probably used after a power.

Can't Be Trusted

And they think I can't be trusted?

Maybe used during a mission, or after a villain-turned-Homie is called.

On The Same Side

Glad we're on the same side!

Most likely used during battle, either said to the Playa or another Homie.

How Dare You

How dare you!

Probably used during battle, but could be suited to a mission too.

Not In The Mood

I'm not in the mood for your games!

A possible idle, battle and mission line.

A Great Shot

Relax, I'm a great shot.

Mission/Idle/Battle

Run, Coward

Run, coward!

Enemies don't really run away, so this seems it was cut during an early version of the game, or it was meant for a mission.

Kiki

Why couldn't Zinyak bring back Kiki too?

Viola lamenting the loss of her sister, Kiki, who was apparently not going to make an appearance in the game at all.

My Old Life

God, I miss my old life.

Viola reminiscing on her old life of.. running a BDSM club with her sister?

Panda Burger

I could really go for a Panda Burger right now

Panda burgers are oddly only referenced one other time in Saints Row: IV, that being when Nolan North's Playa voice asks for one in the 'Cure Cancer/Hunger' Choice during the first mission.

Slash Fics

People really need to stop writing slash fics about me and Kinzie.

Bit of an in-universe joke here, as 'slash fics' are fanfictions written about two Real-life people, meaning that the npcs you're seeing in your game are probably writing fanfiction as you're streaking through Stillwater.

Wonderful

Wonderful

Either idle, or a mission line.

YOLO

Sometimes i think back on my actions, you know, the ones that led me here, but then I think.. fuck it! YOLO!

Viola having a bit of reflection on her actions in Saints Row: IV.

China

There's a city in China that pays people to do this.

Probably a mission line, no idea what it's referencing.

Clone

Can't we just.. clone you?

Might be a reference to 'The Trouble With Clones', from Saints Row: The Third.

Something Very Comforting

Man, there's something very comforting about that sound.

Most likely an action or idle line.

Don't Worry

Don't worry, you killed it.

Viola reassuring either the Playa or another character that they did in fact, kill it.

Why I Pay To Have Drivers

*Scoffs* This is why I pay to have drivers.

Probably used when the Playa is driving erratically, or during a mission.

Any More Enemies

Try not to make any more enemies.

The Playa sure does have a lot of enemies.

Eyes On The Road

Eyes on the road?

Playa should lose their license at this point.

You've Got Powers

I get it, you've got powers.

Most likely an idle line for when the Playa uses their powers.

Chauffeur

Why don't you hire a Chauffeur?

Erratic driving again, or a mission line.

How Did You Learn That

How did you learn that?

Another idle line for when the Playa uses their powers.

Interesting

This should be interesting.

Average idle line.

Interesting 2

That was.. Interesting.

A response idle line.

Very Little Impresses Me

Very little impresses me.

Are you entertained? Viola isn't.

Performance Art

I need to take in some Zin performance art.

Probably a Homie dismissal line, or an idle line when passing by a certain area, or seeing some Zin.

Personal Chef

I wonder if I could get Zincar to be my personal Chef.

No idea what Zincar(?) is, but probably an idle/mission line.

You Couldn't Get Us Powers Too

You couldn't get us powers too?

Another power related idle line, maybe after the Playa learns one.

Private Condo

The damn Zin took my private condo.

A Homie line that is probably said when Viola would see her uprooted house, like the Playa does.

Sex Club

'There's no way Tanya ran a better sex club than Kiki and I

Could have been an idle line for when Tanya and Viola are both called as Homies, or during the Ben King's Loyalty Mission, Dancing Queen.

Cool Power

Wow, cool power.

Yet another Superpower response line.

Should Have Known Better

Zinyak should have known better than to bring me back.

Maybe a mission line, but most likely an idle line after a fight.

Unused Homie Conversations#

Phillipe Loren#

Loren, having most likely been cut from Saints Row: IV very late into development, still has his remaining Homie Conversations remaining in the game files.

Dialogue

Description

Phillipe and Asha

Asha: "You know, I almost had you in Cairo, a year before you were killed by the Saints." Phillipe: "Please, Miss Odekar, you think I didn't know that you were in the city at that time? I find that rather insulting."

Asha: "There's no way you could have known that information, my cover was flawless."

Phillipe: "You never did give my people enough credit, Asha."

Asha: "Like anyone working for you could have... oh, wait, Matt?!"

An unused conversation with Asha and Phillipe discussing a failed arrest(?) in Cairo.

Phillipe and Ben King

Ben King: "You know, I was like you once, I thought I could take down the Saints and carry on with business as usual." Phillipe: "Is that so?"

Ben King: "But if there's one thing I learned, it's that the Saints can't be stopped. I watched them take down gang after gang in Stilwater, and nothing, not even the Ultor Corporation could put them in the ground."

Phillipe: "Perhaps it would have been more useful if your book warned against going toe-to-toe with the Saints instead of spouting all that propaganda about the dangers of organised crime."

Ben King: "You know, that wouldn't have been a bad idea."

Phillipe: "Unbelievable."

An unused conversation between Loren and King discussing the events of Saints Row(2006) and Saints Row 2

Phillipe and CID

CID: "Is it true you let the Saints believe you killed Johnny Gat?" Phillipe: "It is."

CID: "In hindsight, do you see that as a wise decision?"

Phillipe: "In hindsight, I would never have expanded to Stilwater in the first place."

Phillipe and CID discussing Gat's 'death' during the events of Saints Row: The Third.

Phillipe and Cyrus

Cyrus: "You know, if the Saints weren't pushed to the top of the list, STAG was planning to move against you and your Syndicate." Phillipe: "That would never have occurred, Monsieur Temple. Senator Hughes and I had a long standing business arrangement."

Cyrus: "I don't believe you."

Phillipe: "Why do you think it took my death before she let you off the leash?"

Cyrus: "That was because of her precious bridge in Stilwater."

Phillipe: "And who do you think paid for that bridge, Commander?"

Phillipe and Cyrus Temple somewhat arguing about Cyrus' proposed plan of going after The Syndicate.

Phillipe and Fun Shaundi

Fun Shaundi: "So, I hear you're part of the reason I turned into such a bitch." Phillipe: "I believe that you did that all on your own, little girl."

Fun Shaundi: "Little girl? You seriously going with that?"

Phillipe: "I have been the head of a multi-national crime organisation responsible for hundreds of highly lucrative actions all over the world. I owned businesses, buildings, government officials, and my own jet. What have you ever accomplished?"

Fun Shaundi: "I helped kill you."

Fun Shaundi and Phillipe talking about the events that lead up to future Shaundi.

Phillipe and Johnny Gat

Phillipe: "It's a pleasure to see you again, Monsieur Gat." Johnny Gat: "You know, if you'd just left us alone in Stilwater, your Syndicate would have lasted a lot longer."

Phillipe: "And if you'd taken our offer on the plane, you might not have been captured and kept in your own personal mental prison."

Johnny Gat: "Trust me, that wasn't half as bad as being forced to work side by side with your smug ass right now."

Phillipe: "I did not make the decision to put us together, Monsieur Gat."

Johnny Gat: "You're right, it's like someone is intentionally trying to put us together to see what'll happen. Fucking fan-fiction."

Gat and Loren speaking about the events of both Saints Row: The Third and his eventual capture by Zinyak in Saints Row: IV, with a little quip to the fans.

Phillipe and Julius

Julius: "So what did the Syndicate want with Stilwater anyway?" Phillipe: "With the increased corporate businesses in the city, it was a natural area to expand into."

Julius: "You mean Ultor."

Phillipe: "Indeed. My organisation had long-standing business deals with them, which made the prospect more appealing."

Julius: "But the Saints ended up owning Ultor."

Phillipe: "The media division, perhaps. But to think Ultor did not have other agendas is somewhat naïve, don't you think?"

Julius: "Well, shit."

A little bit of a lore drop here, with Loren revealing that despite the fact that The Saints ended up merging with Ultor by the time The Third's story takes place, he still orchestrated business deals with the rest of the company.

Phillipe and Keith David

Keith David: "So you're the one I have to thank." Phillipe: "I'm not sure what you mean." Keith David: "Well if you hadn't opened that bank in Stilwater, then the Saints would have still been focused on their celebrity. Your little stunt spurred them into action, causing the chain of events that led them to the White House. Leading me to become Vice President along the way."

Phillipe: "Well, that's quite a theory you have there, Monsieur David."

Keith David: "I call it how I see it, so thank you."

Phillipe: "You're... welcome."

Keith David pretty much thanking Loren for the events of the third game, and proving he is a true believer in the domino effect.

Phillipe and Kinzie

Kinzie: "So, why Matt Miller?" Phillipe: "Pardon me?"

Kinzie: "Of all the hackers in the world you could have recruited for your little criminal fraternity, why a whiny brat like him?"

Phillipe: "Oh, believe me, I had several before him, though none could match his talent and creativity with his tasks. Plus, the addition of the Deckers to the Syndicate was a strong move."

Kinzie: "But he's so fucking annoying."

Phillipe: "Miss Kensington, are you jealous that I did not approach you with the offer?"

Kinzie: "Yes, I would have been ten times better."

Kinzie expressing jealousy over the fact she wasn't chosen by Loren to do Matt's Job.

Phillipe and Maero

Phillipe: "You remind me a little of a former associate of mine." Maero: "I hope for your sake that's a compliment."

Phillipe: "Tell me, Monsieur Maero, have you ever considered masked wrestling?"

Maero: "Well, I don't like... wait, what?"

Volition probably put this in as a acknowledgement towards the fans, some of who like to mention that Killbane is, to them, literally Maero.

Phillipe and Matt

Matt Miller: "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Loren." Phillipe: "Please, Matt, call me Phillipe."

Matt Miller: "Really? Oh, all right then. It's nice to get to talk to you on a more personal level."

Phillipe: "I like that idea very much, I even have a topic for us." Matt Miller: "Oh? What might that be?"

Phillipe: "Tell me what happened to Kiki and Viola."

Matt Miller: "On second thought, I have enough friends."

Loren and Miller discuss their history a bit- especially regarding the twins, as Phillipe died not knowing what happened to Kiki and Viola.

Phillipe and Pierce

Phillipe: "How's business for the Saints?" Pierce: "Got nothing to say to you."

Phillipe: "What's past is past. Johnny Gat is alive, and I am actually dead. Can't we at least be civil?"

Pierce: "Well, I don't know, do we have another giant-ass ball we can drop on you again?"

Loren actually being Civil this time around.. or at least trying.

Phillipe and Shaundi

Phillipe: "Hello again, my-" Shaundi: "Fuck off."

Well, this fits.

Phillipe and Tanya

Phillipe: "You almost remind me of my former assistants, Viola and Kiki." Tanya: "Almost?"

Phillipe: "Well, they actually had a measure of intelligence"

Tanya: "Fuck you."

Spoiler Alert: Tanya is really, really, stupid.

Phillipe and Veteran Child

Veteran Child: "Hey, if you ever get back into the whole criminal thing again, I can totally get you the hookup for good product." Phillipe: "Product?"

Veteran Child: "Yeah, you know, Loa Dust, high quality weed, probably some of that sweet alien shit my ex found. Just saying, I'm your man."

Phillipe: "I'll, uh, keep that in mind."

Veteran Child: "You don't employ any crazy dudes with Machetes do you?"

A humorous conversation between Loren and Veteran Child, referencing both the Sons of Samedi and the Alien Narcotics taken in the loyalty mission Psychosomatic. To Australian players, this interaction would not have made sense, as the mission was removed in its entirety due to the reference towards drugs being used for rewards.

Unused Audio Logs#

In Saints Row IV, the protagonist can collect Audio Logs that are littered around Virtual Steelport. However, there are quite a few audio logs that go unused. Some have been unearthed as working audio files, whilst some, like DJ Veteran Child's, have subtitles but no known audio.

Text Only Audio Logs#

Asha

Only one of Asha's audio logs go entirely unused. Rather than being a standalone audio log, it is an alternate to Asha Audio Log 197 albeit with a pretty tiny change.

Unused Text

Description

From an early age, my father instilled a pride and patriotism in me that carried me far in life. I dedicated myself to serving the Crown. I don't regret it, though it's not been without its challenges. One of those challenges was working with the Saints in taking down Osama bin Laden.

Alternate, yet unused audio log text of Asha talking about taking down Osama Bin Laden with the Saints. The Saints Row Wiki states that this would have been instead of taking down Cyrus Temple in the prologue mission Zero Saints Thirty.

Dane Vogel

A supervillain in a pressed suit, Dane Vogel, Head of Special Projects at Ultor, has audio logs in Saints Row IV that go unused. He later made his re-appearance in the standalone expansion to Saints Row IV, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell.

Text

Description

The gentrification of Saints Row was only the beginning. Ultor's plans for Stilwater were right on track for making the city a bustling metropolis safe enough to raise a family in. Gang violence was present, but the arrival of the Saints was the final cog in the wheel of progress. Get the Saints to wipe out the other gangs, then get the police to lock up the Saints. The plan looked perfect on paper.

Unused audio log texts of Dane Vogel discussing his plan that featured in Saints Row (2006).

With the gangs dropping left and right, the next part of Ultor's plan was focused on Shivington. The investors were all lining up, but the board wasn't convinced we could handle the Saints. With the police on our side I figured Bradshaw could handle his end of the deal, but I was wrong. Ultor had to step in, though that was a miscalculation on my part. Our security force was not as... effective as I'd hoped.

Unused audio log texts of Dane Vogel discussing his plan that featured in Saints Row (2006).

Sure what happened at the Pyramid was a small setback, but you'd think it was Armageddon according to the board. Getting the Saints to expedite my promotion by removing them all was genius on my part. Granted I didn't expect to be attacked at my press conference. All I'm saying is if the Saints came to me in good faith to negotiate, I'm sure we could've reached a mutually beneficial arrangement. They just didn't understand good business.

Unused audio log text of Dane Vogel discussing the events that occurred in the Saints Row 2 mission 'Pyramid Scheme'.

Veteran Child

Despite being a major character in Shaundi's story in both Saints Row 2, Saints Row IV, and showing up as a Homie in the latter game, DJ Veteran Child has no used audio logs available to collect in the game. Whilst not having audio, his logs still have subtitles, meaning they were probably cut pretty early on in development.

Text

Description

All I wanted in life was to be a famous DJ, smoke whatever I could find, and get a whole lot of pussy. And frankly, things were working out pretty damn well. Not only did I have the money from my radio show, but a ton of extra cash from dealing in loa dust with the Sons of Samedi. Granted, looking back on things, that last part I probably could've lived without.

Unused audio log text of DJ Veteran child talking about his life as a Lieutenant for the Sons of Samedi in Saints Row 2.

That Mr. Sunshine was a crazy fucker. Seriously, he gave me nightmares even when I wasn't stoned outta my mind. And The General, he wasn't much better. Once you get in with the Sons of Samedi there's no getting out, and there's no room for screwing up. Hell, I thought I was a dead man when they found me in that record store. And that was Shaundi's fault.

Unused audio log text of DJ Veteran Child discussing the events of Saints Row 2 in the mission 'Airborne Assault'.

I knew where Shaundi was, so that part was easy. She was alone, so again, easy. But that damn boss of the Saints fucked everything up. Things were so much better when the Saints were just a Stilwater memory, but they couldn't stay dead, could they. Never thought they'd come after Shaundi in my own club. That bitch made me lose everything.

Unused audio log text of DJ Veteran Child discussing the events of Saints Row 2, in the mission 'Veteran Child'.

Donnie, despite being a character that shows up in Saints Row IVs DLC Enter the Dominatrix, has no audio logs in the game that are used. This would have probably been cut alongside his addition as a Homie.

Donnie Audio Log 220

I don't care what Sharp said. What Lin and I had was real. Sure, she was with the Saints, feeding them information. But I didn't care. She didn't deserve to be shot and drowned in the river. I should have saved her. Why didn't I save her?!? Price may have been my best friend, but in the end he let it happen.

Donnie Audio Log 061

I should've known as soon as I saw the boss walk in to see Maero how the story was going to end. The Brotherhood took me in, and just like the Rollerz I ended up betraying them. I was forced to do it, but I didn't try to stop it either... Lin was a Saint. Deep down, I guess maybe I was too.

An unused audio log of Donnie talking about the events of both Saints Row (2006) and Saints Row 2.

Donnie Audio Log 327

Then came Zinyak. He snatched me from right out of my garage, thinking I knew how to stop the Saints. He should've done a bit more research first, but I guess he was too busy trying to conquer Earth. I got myself out of the Domination Matrix only to find I was trapped on his damn ship. At least now I have the boss here to help me. I think we have a real shot at making it home.

Putting me in the Rollerz was a smart move on Julius's part. We needed the intel, and I was the only tuner in the Saints. I knew when we staged that rescue at Donnie's shop I was in. Price owed me one for saving his best friend and didn't doubt me for a second. I probably should've been more careful about how often I passed the boss information, though...

Lin Audio Log 282

I read Sharp wrong from the jump. I always knew he was coldhearted, but I just thought it was a lawyer thing. I didn't realize how sadistic he was. I'll never forget what he said to me: "I think it's time to unwrap you." I hope that bastard burns.

Lin discussing her opinion on William Sharp, one half of the Westside Rollerz, and the man who took her hostage and subsequently murdered her in Saints Row (2006). Goes unused.

Viola Audio Log 224

Fucking Murderbrawl tickets. That's what Killbane thought would make me feel better after he murdered Kiki. He took the Syndicate from us, then he took my sister! I vowed to get revenge no matter what I had to do, and no matter who I had to ask for help.

An unused Audio Log of Viola Dewynter mentioning the events of Saints Row: The Third, including her sister Kiki's death and her own move to the Saints.

Viola Audio Log 374

I knew the Saints wouldn't believe me when I came to them for help. Oleg hated me for turning him into a science fair project, Zimos was still grumpy about the Pony Cart thing, Pierce never bothered to learn my name, and Shaundi was a vindictive bitch. It didn't matter though--the boss understood a thing or two about revenge.

Viola discussing her opinions on the members of the Saints as they appeared in Saints Row: The Third. Goes unused.

William Sharp

Sharp, one Leader of the Westside Rollerz in Saints Row (2006) had both his Audio Logs and status as a Homie cut in Saints Row IV. He later shows up as a character in Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, though only as a Storybook character. Now that's how you get demoted.

Sharp Audio Log 300

Joseph had a good thing going with the Westside Rollerz in Stilwater. Every dollar I invested into my nephew's gang saw excellent returns. Even the Vice Kings and Los Carnalles left us alone. That is, until the Saints showed up. It all started with that slut who infiltrated Joseph's people, Lin.

Sharp's first unused audio log that has him discussing the appearance of the Saints in Saints Row (2006), the two other gangs that appear, and undercover Westside Rollerz member and Saint, Lin.

Sharp Audio Log 187

Donnie let himself get too close. He was Joseph's friend, but he valued his relationship with Lin too much to see what was right in front of his face. Lin brought everything down and Donnie let it happen. If he wasn't so close to my nephew, I would have put him in that trunk with her.

Sharp sharing his opinions on both Donnie and Lin as they appeared in Saints Row (2006). Goes unused.

Sharp Audio Log 316

While I blame Lin for her part in what happened, I haven't forgotten the fact that she had help. It was that upstart from Saints Row who did the dirty work for her: raiding my house, killing my nephew and killing me. How could I have let it all happen? I told Joseph he had a traitor among his people too late. If I had only acted sooner, perhaps the Saints would have been wiped out instead.

Post death audio log by Sharp, which oddly talks about his nephew's death despite the fact that it was Sharp who died first.
