This option, in and of itself, goes against the narrative of Red Dead Redemption 2 , which focuses on Arthur's search for altruism, that he is trying to be a good person. This dissonance is not felt significantly until the very end, where Arthur has decided to follow an altruistic road, but when in the open world the player can still choose to kill and steal from civilians, contradicting the character's arc.

[pullquote]"The trend of characters who kill or have killed only have to take a moment to acknowledge that what they did was bad and not actively work towards helping others to be considered okay is so tired."[/pullquote]

These next two maps must be found on hermits. The Torn Treasure Map requires you to shoot the hermit who holds it in order to acquire it. There is a home called Manito Glade that is north of Annesburg. An angry old man lives there. Once you get rid of him, search the drawers of his house. You should find the first half of the Torn Treasure

While it can be understood some gamers dedicated themselves to the main story missions, desperate to find out how this story played out and led into the events in Red Dead Redemption , they truly missed out on some of the best experiences the game has to of

This mission has some of the most unique characters in RDR2 . It's found around the Van Horn Trading Post where you'll stop a man named Bertram from choke-slamming a bartender. Turns out he's a sweetheart that works with a woman named Marjorie who's looking for her other employee, Magnif

It could very well be argued that **Red Dead Redemption 2 Achievements Dead Redemption 2 ** is the greatest gaming achievement of all time. It is a game so sweeping in its scope that very few people who play it are even having the same experiences. Some see the "tiny church" in the swamp. Some don't. Some see the UFOs . Some don't. And the thing that is so remarkable is, we know we still have tons of Easter eggs and secrets to discover about this game over the next year. We have barely scratched the surface of this western opus, as it is a little over a month old. But to say it raised the bar for gaming is putting it mil

Pick the right path (literally, the right path), and continue on until you reach a small campsite. After the campsite, you’ll reach a sudden drop into nothingness. Look down and to your left. A small ledge for you to jump on is waiting for you. Go down another slope that leads from this ledge to an area below. A pile of rocks is all that is here for you. Well, a pile of rocks that hides some shiny gold bars for your trou

The game's internal logic also has the tendency to not make a whole lot of sense. Granted, many of these logical inconsistencies and flaws are waved away at the behest of gameplay, and we can understand that. While the game certainly is immersive, you don't want it to be TOO immersive. When that happens, you risk losing the audience. With that said, it's still fun to ponder the total lack of sense that this game's universe ma

RDR2 being a prequel to RDR has allowed for Rockstar to make a tremendous amount of call forwards, deliberately ensuring that playing RDR after its sequel will have more of an impact. One of these bits of foreshadowing happens when John is missing in a snowstorm at the beginning of the game, and Arthur and Javier are sent out to look for

There are 30 bone locations to find and you can't entirely complete the quest until Chapter 8! That's like at least 40 hours of playtime. Plus the reward is just a knife made from dinosaur bone, neat sure, but worth all that effort? Absolutely

The Arcadia for Amateurs questline is one you'll be encountering quite a few times throughout Arthurs journey. Albert Mason is actually an exceptionally likable character, which is rare in a Rockstar game, where everyone is essentially sociopaths. He's actually a nature photographer which some awful luck and steadfast determination. Throughout your many encounters, you save him from wolves, crocodiles, horses and m

First is shooting bottles off their heads. Then they want punches straight to the face. Finally, they prove their commitment through going over a waterfall in two separate barrels and miraculously survive. Honestly, it's some of the funniest stuff in the game, the only downside is that it's split into three separate interactions, and they don't pop up on the map, you have to either follow a guide or happen upon t

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
