Arthur has no pretensions - he knows full well that both he and Micah are damned and that they have led a horrible life of crime and immorality. He damns Micah, but he also damns himself, and that is very telling ind
New Austin is by far one of the most unique locations of Red Dead Redemption 2 , a barren and expansive desert in a game otherwise filled with greenery, trees, and rivers. While the area is nothing but a modern recreation of the first game's map, it does enough to differentiate itself from the 2010 origi
After finishing Red Dead Redemption 2 Chapter 2, Arthur can discover a wrecked circus caravan in Lemoyne.

Right before the gun is ready, a guard sneaks up and shoots John in the shoulder and causes him to fall off the tr
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
RDR2 's Micah Bell was best known as the Van der Linde gang degenerate. He was obnoxious, bigoted, and a generally foul person to be around, which made him a particularly good outlaw. In the end, he betrays the Van der Linde gang, proving that he's the snake Arthur always thought it was. His Missouri Fox Trotter horse, Baylock, is black and white, which can be seen as a symbol of Micah's two-faced charac

It isn’t until the back car is searched where things go awry and Arthur needs to save Sean, which results in four guards being shot. Shortly after, the law finds their way to the halted train, and thus begins s shootout with a couple of dozen lawmen. Once the lawmen need to recoup, the gang escapes on horseb

No matter the game rating, children are off limits. Rockstar realizes this and continuously omits children from their open world games. Young Jack proves the exception, although he does little throughout the g
The 3D open world was unlike anything seen in gaming at the time, and the level of freedom that the game afforded its players was simply unimaginable. This game singlehandedly launched the industry into the 21st century, and its reverberations are still being felt to this

It doesn't get much better, or more unique, than Saint Denis. Red Dead Redemption 2 is primarily concerned with the approach of modernization and civilization, and Saint Denis is its physical embodiment. It's by far the largest city in the game, its streets packed with wagons, pedestrians, and hor
