In true Rockstar fashion, side quests can contain both shocking and interesting details that rival some of the best missions from the main story, and in **Red Dead Redemption 2 ** Stranger missions are no except
After looking in the area, he discovers a dead animal - which happens to be the aforementioned lion, which is actually just a Labrador with a mane. The deceased dog is placed in the back of the caged wagon in the hopes of attracting the missing tiger. Without delay, a cougar with painted stripes climbs into the wagon. This "tiger" may not qualify as a legendary animal in Red Dead Redemption 2 , but it certainly is memora
The gang continues to run, with Dutch leaving John for dead . It’s then that Arthur mounts up on the Gatling gun and beings mowing down scores of lawmen. Unfortunately, with the inaccuracy of the Gatling gun it's just as easy to hit the Lawmen’s horse as it is them. As the train continues to move, eventually the lawmen can no longer follow, which gives the gang the time they need to finish the robbery before they get to the blown-up bridge the players had destroyed in a prior mission. They quickly blow through the tightly sealed door, grab the cash, and jump off the train just before it crashes over the cliffside into the rocks be
Outside of Red Dead Redemption 2's main story missions, side quest "Stranger" missions involving various NPCs add to the long list of things to uncover in Rockstar’s widely successful sequel, although some missions are more bizarre than others. Taking the time to listen in to random NPC conversations or explore question marks on the map can lead to rewarding surprises in unexpected pla
With Dutch van der Linde at the helm , there’s always another job, another bank, and " always a goddamn train, " as Arthur puts it during the final train robbery. Throughout the course of Red Dead Redemption 2's story, there are multiple times in which the gang has to rob a train. While all of them erupt in a fit of violence between the gang and one of their adversaries, be it the hands of the law, the O’Driscolls, or Cornwall’s men, some robberies are a bit tamer than the oth
The Star Wars prequels are by no means perfect. Despite their flaws, though, the Star Wars prequels do have a solid plot at work. Literature is rife with powerful tales of heroes' tragic spirals into becoming the villain, from the once honorable Macbeth's betrayal of his king and country to Harvey Dent's path to becoming Two-Face and Walter White's journey from hardworking family man to maniacal drug lord. Every medium has them, and video games are no exception: from Bioshock 's jarring "Would You Kindly" revelation to the groundbreaking moment players realize Dormin's plans in Shadow of the Colossus . Red Dead is uniquely positioned, though, in that it can take the stories of the previous games which established the gang's tragic demise because of their erratic leader and wind back the clock to a time when he was still a hero. Before there was Vader, there was Anakin, and before there was the Van Der Linde Gang, there was Du
Arthur agrees to clear out the property and, along the way, fresh corpses are found courtesy of Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Dead Redemption 2's Night Folk . Once arriving at the house, five Night Folk wielding machetes will run at Arthur. After disposing of them the man will run inside as additional Night Folk start running towards the house. After all of the murderous swamp enemies are dealt with, Arthur can claim his reward from the

Filling up a small bottle, he begins pursuing a person trying to run away. Shortly after, the mine tunnel will explode. Poisonous air starts to fill up the caverns, so Arthur must escape quic
If there's one thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 is often criticized for, it's the sluggish pace. The game is very meticulous in its tone and pacing, resulting in long stretches of serene horse riding (some may say boring stretches), needlessly extended animations when foraging and skinning animals, cooking food and crafting items,
Most people agree that the game is excellent and a shining example of video games as art, but opinions often diverge in regards to the minutiae. Not every aspect of the game will land with every player, and some people disagree on certain aspects of the game's production. Some of these opinions are legitimate and popularly held. Others, not so muc
Initially, Red Dead Redemption was a simple tale of a reformed outlaw trying desperately to turn from his wicked ways and make an honest life for his family while constantly being dragged back in because of his old gang. Following Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde Gang through RDR2, though, made the narrative a larger tale about a complete family of outlaws struggling to continue their way of life set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing frontier as the lawless West gave way to civilization. In doing so, Rockstar made the Van Der Linde Gang and its leader Dutch van der Linde the actual main characters of the franchise, which makes the perfect narrative for Red Dead Redemption 3 to explore the origins of Dutch van der Linde in a similar way the Star Wars prequels showcased the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. While the western frontier of Red Dead may not be as fraught with heroic saviors and malevolent villains, the tale of a hopeful and ambitious Robin Hood figure turned narcissistic megalomaniac is equally as compelling as the origins of Darth Va
