Are you enjoying your time in Red Dead Redemption 2 ? I know that I am. I’ve been chipping away at the game over the course of two weeks now, barely even playing the story. I know that I’m only about halfway through the story, if that, but that’s fine. This is a game that’s something of a miracle. Not only is it slow paced story-wise, but it’s made almost every player take their time with it. There are so many stranger missions, animals to hunt, fish to catch, gang hideouts to wipe out, collectibles, and more, it’s the closest that a game has ever come to making a real, living, breathing world. I don’t think that this game could ever have been made before this generation, and it’s nice to see a game that truly takes advantage of this generation, not just in its graphics, but in its sheer sc
Eventually, the snow melts enough for the gang to move to a more permanent area just outside the town of Valentine. In order to fund the move (and their continued survival), the gang stages a train heist, robbing wealthy oil baron, Leviticus Cornwall. Following the robbery, Cornwall hires the Pinkerton Detective Agency to apprehend the outlaws, causing the group to remain ever vigilant and untrusting of outsiders. Gang leader, Dutch, continually exclaims that the group is due for just one more major heist, but as the game goes on and Dutch’s decisions become less thought out, Arthur begins to question his intentions and overall leadership, in addition to some of Dutch’s newly-recruited members, such as crazed wildcard, Micah B
This is more on the subtle side of bad things coming from the Honor Systems, but players with a bad Honor Level will have a harder time convincing NPCs into doing things that favor them. Killed a person and want an NPC to stay hush-hush about it? Well, you might find it harder to convince them if you’re on the wrong side of the Honor spectrum. It’s really simple, they just don’t like
At one point, Morgan is confronted by Agents Milton and Ross – two of the agents from the Pinkerton Detective Agency – who insist on any information regarding the Van Der Linde gang. Morgan denies any knowledge of the gang’s whereabouts, but the agents make it clear that they don’t believe him and indicate that they’ll be back in to
Dutch goes rogue and murders Leviticus Cornwall. In the process, he also incites a war between the surrounding Native American tribe and the United States Army in order to steal some valuable bonds, resulting in a bloody massacre with casualties on both sides. Dutch and Morgan find the bonds, but get ambushed as they escape. Dutch abandons Morgan, who is eventually caught and nearly killed, before being rescued. Morgan finally breaks his allegiance with Dutch when he refuses to rescue Marston’s girlfriend, Abigail, who gets kidnapped by Agent Mil
If Disney was included in this game, why wouldn’t a reference to another popular franchise be a part of the game? If you head to the North East of Bacchus Station, you will run into an interesting home . It looks as if it grew right out of the land its
Getting around the map the old-fashioned way (quite literally), AKA on horseback, is fantastic, and a superb opportunity to learn more about the world. That being said, sometimes you don’t want to traipse all the way across the map, especially if you only want to go to another town just for an item or a haircut. While you can ride in a train or a wagon, there’s an easier, and cheaper way. In the camp ledger, upgrade Dutch’s lodging, and you’ll be able to upgrade Arthur’s. This gives him a map in his tent, allowing you to fast travel anywhere, for f
Your horse often can’t gallop too fast; your horse will occasionally crash into rocks and trip over, and your horse can be swayed by the course of a river to its doom. It’s real. It’s cool in that regard. But it makes riding an absolute chore at times. One wrong move will result in your horse collapsing and Arthur needing to waste one of his many Horse Revitaliz
Now we’re starting to actually see real dividends of being good guy Arthur. Honor Level +2 unlocks a special 10% discount for players at shops! Sure, it’s not like your favorite sale on a Black Friday but 10% at all shops for that sweet ammunition and clothing is a bargain in the Wild West. Ten percent might not be enough motivation for everyone to be good-guy Arthur, though, so I should probably mention here that these discounts only get better as your Honor Level progres
Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter Eggs 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. The gang is on the run through the snowy mountains following a ferry heist in the town of Blackwater that went terribly wrong. 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
