Strange sounds can sometimes be heard in Tall Trees, the Skinner Brothers (and the grisly remains of their victims) plague the area, it's filled with dangerous animals, and there's even mention of a sports team called the Blackwater Athletics who went missing around the area - likely victims of the Skinner Broth

In the end, we seem to have succeeded in reuniting John with his family. But the government doesn't hold up its end of the bargain. The army attacks the player's homestead, and John sends his wife and son to safety and returns to face the invaders. But he is met with a brutal and sad end, dying in a hail of bull

At the end of the cutscene, Lemieux orders Arthur to kill Jean-Marc. Arthur will be on the fence about executing the Mayor's orders. While Jean-Marc is on his knees begging for mercy, players will have to choose whether they want to kill him or spare his life. It's one of the most crucial choices in this Stranger Mission and governs everything from the impact on Arthur's honor to the very fate of Saint Denis as well, as one would expect.

Finding a bayou in the game was an unexpected but welcome surprise. The entire Lemoyne area is very Louisiana, with Saint Denis being a fictional version of New Orleans . Bayou Nwa is a very unique location within Red Dead Redemption 2 , serving as a swampy, muddy, and generally dirty area, filled with animals like alligators, cranes, egrets, spoonbills, pelicans, and turt

Rockstar has been one of the most acclaimed developers of this generation, largely for the incredible narratives it creates. While the GTA franchise is certainly Rockstar's crown jewel, the studio's most impressive narrative is arguably the story told throughout Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ . Choosing to move back in time with RDR2 made a lot of sense given how the original game ended. Making a direct sequel would have been tricky at the least, but beyond that, Rockstar's decision to move back in time actually changes the overall direction of the entire franchise and possibly for RDR3 as w

At the end of the day, whatever players choose to do in this story is wholly dependent on the playthrough they are going for. After all, both low and high Honor playthroughs in Red Dead Redemption 2 make for a great time, with Arthur either succumbing to his demons or choosing to be the bigger man whenever the situation calls for it. At a glance, making the decision to kill a character in a side mission may not seem like a big deal, but it definitely helps from a storytelling standpoint for the player.

If John chooses to antagonize them, he will threaten to steal their horses and will lose honor. John can instead choose to wish them well. As they leave, the man's wife will ask if they have enough water for the journey and whether he fed the hor

John is similarly able to have a conversation with him and can join him on the wagon's journey to the mass grave. Antagonizing the man too much will cause him to attack the player. John also has the chance to loot the corpses, though will lose honor in doing

No one has ever really come to the Grand Theft Auto series for a good story. The stories aren't bad by any means - in fact, some of them are quite great and have aspirations to be taken seriously on their literary merits ( Grand Theft Auto IV ). And while Grand Theft Auto V had a fun and engaging story, the one found in Red Dead Redemption 2 was simply superi

Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch's young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch's plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti

Updated on June 9th, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC Dead Redemption 2 is full to the brim with a wealth of Stranger missions, side content that feels almost as fleshed out as the main campaign's missions. One such Stranger mission puts players in contact with Henri Lemieux, the mayor of Saint Denis, and his deputy, a man by the name of Jean-Marc Mercier . Jean-Marc operates as the deputy for the corrupt mayor, whom he hates with every fiber of his being, and Arthur's actions during these Stranger missions govern whether he uncovers the mayor's corruption and becomes the new mayor of Saint Denis, or is killed by Arthur under Lemieux's orders.

While Tumbleweed isn't abandoned like it is in the first game, in Red Dead Redemption 2 the town is in decline. When John first enters the town, is greeted by the sight of a lawman escorting a member of the Del Lobo g
