_Red Dead Redemption 2 _ 's campaign has cemented itself as one of the most immersive Western RPGs ever released. Its expansive open-world, countless side missions, and endless customization options are all frosting on Rockstar Games' enthralling narrative that details the escapades of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang . The nearly 50-hour-long story unfolds over several lengthy chapters, which are all vastly different from one another. But which of the game's chapters are the best, and which are lackluster in compari
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.
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
Although John enjoyed his friendship with Bonnie MacFarlane , at times, her jabs hit a bit too close to home. In a cutscene that many players consider to be the best in the first game, John makes it very clear to her that while he leads a rough lifestyle at the moment, he has had a complicated, complex life, and that he's not as one-dimensional as she thinks he
The ship they're stowing away in sinks during a storm, and Arthur, Dutch, and Micah Bell are stranded on an island near Cuba named Guarma. They become quickly acquainted with the island's cruel dictator, Fussar, and agree to help a rebel group in exchange for safe passage back home. The trio is momentarily involved in an all-out war but eventually helps the rebels and manages to find a boat back to Saint De
Clearly, he is passionate about the city of Saint Denis, and doesn't want it to be run by corrupt men like Lemieux. This honorable nature makes him a stand-up character, although such idealism can be met with a cold, brutal death in the Wild West. Such is the fate that this man can possibly be exposed to, based on the choices that Arthur makes during this side mission.
Southwest of Hennigan's Stead in New Austin , the player can find a man known as the "tree hermit" living in a cabin-like treehouse . If John gets too close to the man's home, he will shout at the player to go a
Although this scene is meant to feed a sense of unease going into Undead Nightmare , it also embodies everything John fought for. At the beginning of the DLC, John returns to find his family sitting by the fireplace, joking around and enjoying the domesticity they worked so hard
But this is a Rockstar game, and Rockstar games aren't known for having morally sound protagonists. Depending on how he's played, Arthur Morgan can be downright unlikable, as is evident through these horrifying li
John is one of the most misunderstood characters by those around him. While he isn't always the wisest, he does have a sense of clarity and wisdom that is leagues above most people around him. This sense shines through this cutscene, where he deftly and eloquently tells Bonnie about his life, his past, and his plans. Not such a fool now, is he, Miss MacFarl
While Arthur rides any horse that players gave him during their adventures, he begins Red Dead Redemption 2 with a Tennessee Walker. The breed is known for its ability to trot on long adventures without much need to rest. Arthur's story in RDR2 is defined by the need to constantly be moving to either evade the law, deal with his past, or look to new horizons. Much like his starting steed, he isn't afraid of winding journ
Arthur is nothing if not self-aware. During the "bad" ending (the ending received if a player has low honor), Micah will damn Arthur before executing him. However, Arthur gets the last word in, yelling, "Damn us both!" right before he is kil
Undead Nightmare is full of bizarre, campy moments, but this particular one takes the cake. John encounters a trapper living in the woods, claiming that sasquatches are indeed real, as well as living off a steady diet of human babies. Unsure of what to think, John goes ahead and hunts the nearby sasquatc
Arthur's assault on Thomas Downes really pushes the limit between "likable playable character" and "hateful protagonist whom players might not even want to control." While beating Downes for the money, Downes pleads with Arthur and tells him that he has a family. Arthur, ever the career criminal , simply utters, "I don't care about your fami
Armadillo is a much different town in this game than it will be in just a few short years, with John finding it nearly deserted due to a plague. The quiet and simple land of New Austin may not have the hustle-and-bustle of Saint Denis or Blackwater up north, but it still has many unique encounters for the player to experience. While these experiences don't necessarily add anything to the gameplay or provide any special privileges for the player, they could still be exciting for completionists who want to get the most out of Red Dead Redemption 2 treasure maps Dead Redemption
