However, the bandana isn’t an item that comes without consequence. For instance, lawmen don’t particularly react well to seeing a masked stranger, whether you’ve done anything wrong or not. And, wearing a bandana, committing a crime, and coming into town in the same outfit minus the bandana isn’t going to do much for you. After all, the NPC’s in this game aren’t idiots. Make sure you’ve got an entirely different outfit for your criminal activities, and you’ll find the lasting consequences much less sev
That’s all well and good, Dutch, but Arthur over here has erased his “Wanted” status several times by paying some cash to local authorities. Why can’t he do the same in Blackwater and then retrieve the money for you? (Because the story has gotta sto
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ has been available for just over a week, giving players ample amount of time to experience the 60-plus hours of storyline content, in addition to the side-missions and countless other things to do in the vast, wide-open frontier. With so much to do in the game, it would be easy to overlook the overarching story. Luckily, _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ features a familiar, yet compelling story of the rough life that was led by most in the wild w
The red dead redemption 2 Treasure maps Dead series has never been grounded in reality. From as early as Red Dead Revolver , Red Harlow’s adventures were basically a glorified cartoon. The game was even going to feature supernatural elements at one point. Come Redemption , the tone has gotten more serious, but John Marston is still an interpretation of the legendary gunslinger tr
Everyone is accounted for. Everyone save for Karen. The most Karen gets near the finale is a mention in Arthur’s notebook that she turned to drink. Meeting Mary-Beth in Saint Denis reiterates this idea and that’s as far as it goes. Does it make sense? Perhaps, but everyone else got their little epilogue. It seems strange Karen didn’t appear even in the form of a gr
Morgan kills Milton and rescues Abigail, while learning that Micah Bell is a mole for the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Around the same time, the gang continues to dissolve as uneasiness with Dutch’s leadership causes members to leave the gang. Morgan convinces Marston to leave as well, and restart a new life with his family, but not before confronting Dutch about Bell being a mole. Not believing him, Dutch and the remaining members of the Van Der Linde gang turn on Arthur, but the fight is interrupted when Agent Ross shows up with a group of Pinkertons to take out what’s left of the gang. Dutch finally realizes that Bell is a traitor, and leaves him and Morgan to battle it out. Morgan accepts that his time is near and convinces Marston to finally escape as Morgan confronts Bell. Unfortunately, Morgan, weak from his tuberculosis, loses the fi
Hunting is another mechanic that has gotten a pretty severe overhaul compared to the original Red Dead Redemption . You’ve probably noticed the “study” option available when aiming at an animal, but it isn’t immediately obvious what it does. But after studying it, select “show info”, and you’ll see what quality of pelt you’re going to get from the animal in question. Depending on whether or not you’re after the pelt or the meat, this might not matter to you, but if you are looking to sell the pelt, the quality makes a hefty difference in pr
So buckle your holsters and saddle your horses, for we are about to embark on a most treacherous journey. Here are some flaws in one of the most popular games available today. The going will be difficult, and we may suffer the slings and arrows of staunch Red Dead supporters, but we’ll take it nice and easy. Read on if you aren’t afraid to laugh with me about some of Red Dead Redemption 2’s most nonsensical aspe
Made up of six chapters and two epilogues, Red Dead Redemption II ’s story is over twice as long as the first game’s. Arthur Morgan’s storyline simply dwarfs John Marston’s in terms of raw content. Is is better, though? When it comes down to it, probably not. For as amazing as the plot actually is, juggling sophisticated themes right up to the very end, the original Red Dead Redemption simply tells the tighter story. Due to being shorter, there is next to no fluff and every moment counts. The same cannot be said for Arthur’s odyssey across the Wild W
Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I’ve ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it’s also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone’s head or one of their limbs, then uh…things aren’t looking at all good for t
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
