Dutch can then be heard talking about fire, saying, "Sure, we can have fire, and we can have the knowledge of fire, but with that comes the knowledge of everything", juxtaposed against a town seemingly being burned to the ground by the gang, and a more harmless clip of a woman "breathing" fire on stage.

The quote once again makes Dutch sound decidedly theocratic, even almost anti-knowledge, though this is likely a byproduct of him anticipating the demise of his and his gang's outlaw ways.

From what we've seen in the last two trailers, fire will play quite a significant role in several of the game's set-pieces, and it'll probably have a pretty strong symbolic quality throughout also.
