In the West Elizabeth arc during the first game, Dutch mentions plain and clear that John was legally married to Abigail. John fell in love with her and the two were wed while they were in the gang. There is nothing to dispute this. Come the second game, they are indeed married, except not rea

Realism in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a funny thing. The game seems to strictly adhere to it in parts, such as only being able to have two guns at arm's reach when off your horse. Yet at other times, it seems to flip completely, and go a bit bananas in the traditional GTA sense, with your horse able to carry as much weaponry as Fort Knox during a red alert. Regardless, I think they've probably got the balance about right, even if it does feel a little odd at times. They've made a good number of concessions to balance fun with realism. The focus is on having fun, and that's something that's definitely being achie

It almost seems obvious that Micah would end up being the gang’s rat in hindsight. He spends all his time with Dutch, constantly attracts lawmen, and accuses Arthur of being the real traitor. It’s quite obvious that the audience should be skeptical of Micah which Rockstar knew and remedied with Mo

Holding L2 or LT, depending on your system, and clicking in the left joystick will prod Arthur into giving your horse a reassuring pat on the head/neck, which keeps your horse reasonable and gains a little bit more of your horse's tr

Remember back in 2012, or as it's known in some circles, the year of the bow? It seems like every game that came out then packed one in, and for good reason. red dead Redemption 2 Strategy Dead Redemption 2's bow does a very respectable amount of damage and has a good reload time, but that's not what makes it strong. Its silence is what does it. If you're sneaking up on a hideout or fancy taking out some enemies without alerting their comrades, the bow does this superbly. One well-placed arrow can down anyone. If you're feeling fancy, make some dynamite arr

Okay, so you've bonded with your horse. What exactly does that get you? Well, it turns out there are quite a few different benefits to having a horse in your corner. There are some gradual bonuses; the more you've bonded with your horse, the further your horse will be willing to gallop on its own when it hears you whistle. It's certainly not going to run across the map when you call, but the range definitely does improve. And, the more you bond with your horse, the less likely it is to get stolen. Apparently those talks about "Stranger Danger" paid off. Your horse will also be willing to wade into deeper waters with you, and generally be fine with going into sketchier terr

During the final mission of Chapter 6, Arthur Morgan can make one of two choices: help John Marston escape thus bringing the arc he has been following all game to a close and ensuring that the Marston family someone finds a better life or… go back to steal money that Arthur hasn’t cared about all g

Upon arriving on the island of Guarma , the gang once again finds themselves in the midst of a civil war. This time, the battle is between the island’s plantation owners and the slaves working in the fields. Taking arms up against the plantation owners, the gang helps progress the revolution for the slaves’ cause, before heading back to mainland Amer

As the saying goes, "there's plenty of fish in the sea." The same can more or less be said of Red Dead Redemption 2 : there are plenty of horses in the Old West. You've got a lot of different options when it comes to who you choose to be your traveling companion, and whatever horse you choose, they'll be sure to appreciate the gesture. The more you use the same horse, doing just about anything, the more your horse is going to trust you. And in the same vein, the more you use the same horse, the more you may grow to trust the ho

Love for Red Dead Redemption 2 has been going strong since the game's release. If you've played the game yourself, you'll know that all of this love is deserved. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an exemplary model of an open-world game. The vistas are gorgeous, and the individually rendered parts of your character can hypnotize you. Seriously, I had a tragic horse accident because I was so busy staring at how my coat and saddlebags jostled as we galloped al

Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in 1899; roughly twelve years before the original Red Dead Redemption. Players take on the role of outlaw gang member, Arthur Morgan, who is the right-hand man for the gang’s leader, Dutch van der Linde.

Once the group finds a place to wait out the storm, they have to work together to gather resources - such as food - and survive the elements. Arthur, being one of the more experienced members, is tasked with rescuing John Marston who is near death on a nearby mountain p
