Postal III is a cautionary tale for why having no regrets isn't always a good thing.

However, Postal III caused problems for an entirely different reason, solidifying it as the worst in the series' history. When work on Postal III started, Running With Scissors was in need of help and called in the aid of a Russian studio named Akella, which had aided development of Postal II. The team at Akella was also much bigger and better.

Unused Voice Actor
Shortly after the first press demos were completed, the original actor for the Postal Dude, Rick Hunter, had to leave the project due to obligations elsewhere. The stuff he recorded for the game is still present in the data files, and a good chunk of it was eventually snuck into Postal 2 Complete in a patch.

unusedcontent.cfg
A leftover from Portal 2. Its purpose is unknown.
Unused Models
Most Unused models are from old character designs or scrapped ideas.
Early Player Model
An early, surprisingly different version of the Dude's player model can be found in models/main_menu/dude_main_menu.mdl. The version found in the finished game lacks the lower half of his trenchcoat, and only has a single animation, for the main menu lazing around.
Unused Test Town Hotel Models
The final game still has models from the test town hotel. These are all still in the game files due to Postal 3 still technically being in development when it released.

Maxel
Postal 30513
In a folder named 'Postal Rage', you can find a character named 'Maxel', he looks very different to everyone in the entire game. interestingly, in a developer screenshot, the developer is playing as Maxel, which most likely means Maxel was going to be the protagonist of Postal 3 (Postal Rage internally).
Unused Video
A placeholder video in the media folder, just a white backrground with the text 'cutscene in progress'.
Unused Textures
Postal III has many unused textures. Many are leftovers from scrapped ideas.
