The O’Driscolls are a group of men who happen to be a rival gang of the Van Der Linde squad. Early on in the game’s narrative Arthur Morgan and company have a run-in with them that turns Sadie Adler’s life completely on its head as she loses her home and becomes a wi
Angelo Bronte, the crime lord of Saint Denis, was a man who lived a very nasty life full of crime, fear, and sin. He ultimately meets his demise at the hands of Arthur Morgan and John Marston when they ambush his manor, following Dutch Van Der Linde’s pl
Angelo Bronte talks about Fussar visiting the city frequently for prostitution and other sinful deeds. Players not only take down Fussar but manage to liberate an entire island of slaves from under his hateful and bigoted cont
Now, I am not saying that John Marston would be considered honorable in our world, though some of the world’s most celebrated heroes have blood on their hands, merely that he is an honorable man in the world in which he lives. At least he was in my playthrough. Although anything he may have done while wearing a bandanna surely has no impact on his honor, ri
In the meme, when Loki says “I’ve never met this man in my life,” he represents the cops after the wanted level disappears. Once players lose their wanted levels, the cops will seemingly forget why they were chasing them and just go about their
The game’s narrative did an excellent job of showcasing the journey its protagonist Arthur Morgan went on in an attempt to seek redemption in the face of his mortality. He wasn’t the only character who was redeemed in the game by the time credits rolled, though. Let’s look at and rank 5 characters who were redeemed and 5 who never got redemption in Red Dead Redemption
Skyrim has proved time and time again to be Bethesda’s darling child. Todd Howard even said that they only keep releasing new ports and versions of the game DLC because fans keep buying it. The main quest is a bit anticlimactic, to be certain, but side quests are a different st
Before going any further, we need to address the ludonarrative dissonance in the room. Ludonarrative dissonance is when the story told by the narrative doesn’t fit the story reinforced by the gameplay. It was first applied to Nathan Drake of Uncharted fame to discuss the oxymoronic nature of a charming rogue who has killed thousands of peo
The narrative thrust of the Red Dead Redemption is the John is being forced by the Bureau of Investigation head Edgar Ross to hunt down his former associates from his time as a member of the Van der Linde g
However, it’s not too long after we see the honorable man John is under all of his shortcomings. He is rescued and nursed back to health by Bonnie MacFarlane, a fierce and proud rancher, and John goes out of his way to repay his debt to her and her fam
The Grand Theft Auto series is known for its revolving protagonists. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas , the new protagonist CJ has to return to the city he grew up in. When he gets there, he complains about being back in his homet
It’s not really an open-world game if it doesn’t have a whole lot to do in said open-world aside from the main storyline. Games falling under this category have become commonplace, with titles like The Witcher, Assassin’s Creed , Grand Theft Auto, and others pushing their popularity furt
John, and again we the player, must now make life in the world we so desperately fought for. Instead of firing a Gatling gun to take out a gang stronghold or lending a helping hand to a fledgling rebellion, John is striving to be the man he said he wanted to be. He’s teaching his son to hunt, herding cattle, and making deliveries. In terms of gameplay, it’s boring, but in service of the narrative, it is exquisitely d
East of Bacchus Station, just across the Ambarino border, players can find this white elk. The elk will require a stealthy approach, likely with a bit of help from the tracking view to find. As it is not in a snowy location, the elk is fairly easy to spot. Aiming for the vital spots of the elk will take it down quickly in a few shots.
Albino Beaver – Lem
West of Manteca Falls and south Stillwater Creek, Arthur may spot the legendary takana bison. This bison is not aggressive or fearful when seen out until shot at. Just make sure to down it before it runs off after releasing the first round.
Legendary Panther – Lem
I remember thinking that this surely couldn’t be the end of John. Not after all he’d done. I was convinced that there was a way to survive the final shoutout with the government. At the very least, I hoped that I could take Ross down with me. It seemed the only just option, the only thing that seemed fair. But Red Dead Redemption isn’t interested in being f
Through a series of events and finding clues players can come across what appears to be a real vampire lurking in the back alleys of Saint Denis. Players have been experimenting with the creature and trying to figure out if taking him to certain locations after roping him up would lead to any revelations or additional dialo
