Anyway, the world has extremely grounded details like the competition between gunslingers. And then some pretty out-there detours get thrown in because... why not? Just go with it if you can be one of the lucky ones to uncover all these secr

The antagonize button led to some of the greatest NPC interactions of all time! There was something immensely gratifying about being able to tell a character that they smell like a warthog. Or driving that one, sheepish NPC to run out into the road and get hit by a horse because you won't stop telling them that they need to stop hiding under their mother's sk

Of course, one of the best things to do in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to go find some treasure à la Indiana Jones. There are several treasure maps that will lead you to stashes all around this extensive world. Read on if you want a guide to all the known treasure maps in Red Dead Redemptio

Events that players took part in get written about, and it's interesting to read about them from a remote perspective. It is also a testament to the amount of detail developers put in this game if they have dynamic newspap

In one of the early missions of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Arthur takes Jack fishing because John is an absentee father and wants nothing to do with his son. This being a Rockstar game, things inevitably go wrong. Agents Ross and Milton show up to offer Arthur amnesty in exchange for Dutch. Of course, Arthur refuses, but it begs the question – why didn't they just follow him back to camp? It's, like, a two-minute ride away. Or better yet, why approach Arthur at all? Why not just observe him from a distance and follow him back to camp? They're just delaying the inevitable for no rea

By the time I reached Arthur's final decision, one in which you can once again engage in a contradiction by attempting to steal the gang's stash instead of aiding John Marston in his escape, I was already finished. Arthur's death was just another bump in the road in discovering what exactly the epilogue held, as the mystery over who you would play as was much greater than seeing the closing scenes of a character I was done with many hours before.

The first High Stakes Treasure Map requires either a random encounter or a bit of money to acquire. The random encounter route means you bump into an old man holding a treasure map. He gets nervous and dodgy when you approach. You’re going to have to take the map from him, but that doesn’t mean you have to shoot

It also showed the true scope of the game, as you could harass anyone in the game and get a reaction. In game worlds normally full of dead, blank, lifeless NPCs and canned interactions, that is the one aspect that truly showed how huge in scale RDR2 truly is. And outside of showing the impressive scale of the game, it was just incredibly funny. Here's hoping every single game that comes out henceforth has an antagonize but

By Chapter 6, everyone's nerves are fried, drink is flowing, and Dutch has a particularly itchy trigger finger. Enter Molly O'Shea, who tells Dutch that she has been working with the Pinkertons. But...why? We later find out that Micah is the rat, not Molly, so this "plot twist" is rendered m

The two brothers who allow themselves to be physically abused to win the affection of a woman they both love is a perfect example, especially in how the last mission in their story plays out. Perfection. Or what about the people who missed the vampire in Saint De

While we have already touched on how amazing it is to see Arthur and the gang evolve and devolve, in this case, I literally mean NPCs. Never in gaming have NPCs been this, for lack of a better term, re

But then the divine intervention goes one step further and he just so happens to meet up with Dutch and the rest of the gang, who were conveniently chilling out nearby. This isn't really a plot hole, but it's still a highly suspicious plot contrivance that reeks of writer intervention rather than natural storytell

Search the area for a fallen tree resting on top of two rocks, forming a kind of bridge. There is a hole inside this tree that you can reach into if you climb on top of it. That’s where the third High Stakes Treasure Map and some treasure can be fo

The codes in Red Dead Redemption and its sequel are infamous for not being aids to get ahead- when enacted, goals and missions disappear. So while they’re no good for getting ahead or completing side missions, they can be a whole lot of fun. Whether its a code to create a circus tent in place of your caravan or something as pragmatic and sensible as creating a buggy out of thin air- there’s an entire directory of every one discovered thus far. And as for that buggy, the code is Create A Buggy. If only finding housing was that easy in real l

Red Dead Redemption 2 crafting guide Dead Redemption has its fair share of grounded details, like how Arthur’s interactions with people are negatively affected if he doesn’t mind his hygiene, and then there are unique details like an after-hours ghost. Who wouldn’t stay up late and wander darkened streets if it means running into a ghost? Fine, these ghosts play it even scarier by hanging out in alligator-infested swamps… but isn’t the danger worth meeting the spirit of Agnes Dowd ? Well, run into her on a foggy night at the Bluewater Marsh between 9 PM and 3 AM. Don’t worry about the foggy weather making it difficult to spot her - reportedly, she’s shout
