The supporting cast's nature could be seen in the horse breed they chose to ride, what they named their steed, and their coat color. Here's what each of the Van der Linde gang members' horses said about them as charact

Like all of Rockstar 's other open-world titles, the map is filled with unique areas, all of which have their own distinct look and personality. Whereas the first game in the series was a more straightforward Western, Red Dead Redemption 2 forgoes most of the Western trappings in favor of more mountainous, lush, green, and even swampy ar
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
That said, it is absolutely breathtaking on first glimpse. Watching citizens go about their business is utterly magnetic, and the muddy streets make for a stellar showcase in technicality, detail, and phys
Perhaps the easiest to miss are the most time consuming ones: the collectibles. Deborah MacGuiness can be found at a dig site, where she requests either John Marston or Arthur Morgan dig up dinosaur bones hidden around the map. Finding all the bones will allow players to view a cutscene of the strange creature's completed skeletal assembly. Like many paleontological presentations from earlier time periods, the construction of the bones is flawed, but it remains a sight to behold, and is easily missed if players falter in their collecting. Similarly, the “ Smoking and Other Hobbies ” mission requires players to locate and obtain hidden sets of cigarette cards around Red Dead Redemption 2's __ map . These can be found throughout the map, similarly to dinosaur bones, Gaming scandals as well as in certain cartons of cigarettes. Players can receive rewards from the gentleman that offers the Stranger Mission if enough full sets are obtained. Both of these goals can be accomplished passively as players go through Red Dead Redemption 2's main st
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
Josiah was a slick trickster that came and went as he saw fit throughout Red Dead Redemption 2's plot. He was known for his unmistakable elegance in the way he dressed, perfectly matched by his leopard-spotted steed, an Appaloosa named Gwyd
Marko Dragic's Stranger Missions open the door to inventions that will make quality of life changes to normal gameplay, such as the electric lantern that won't run out of oil and shines brighter than average lanterns. Additionally, the missions increase the distance from criminal activities and make Red Dead Redemption 2 feel like an episode of Bill
Once again, this quote sums up the basic theme of the entire game. Arthur displays some self-reflection in the above quote, acknowledging the facts that a) the gang is composed of thieves and bad guys, b) that this makes them social outlaws in an increasingly modernized and civilized world, and c) that they have no place in modern soci
Even the most ardent detractors and critics of Red Dead Redemption 2 agree that the story is great . But u/ghrumebul isn't having it . They argue that “the story is a dragged out mess complicated by timing in that it can't ever be sure that the player just went from story mission to story mission or spent three weeks f***ing around in the mountai
It's an epic scene, where nearly the entire gang rides out and watches the train roll through snow-covered hills and valleys. The score is incredible, with electric guitar riffs and fast-paced drumbeats playing in the background. Even though the robbery starts out botched, players can't help but get hyped over what they're about to do. It's a fantastic crescendo to get players really hooked in the game from the very st
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
There's a ton of stuff to do, and the New Orleans-inspired architecture is simply magnificent. It's also home to some great missions and subplots, and its billowing black smoke portends dangerous things to c
RDR2 's John is far from the man gamers met in the original Red Dead Redemption . He was hot-headed, wild, and laughed in the face of danger, which saw him come close to death several times. He rode a Hungarian Halfbread horse he named Old Boy. The breed is known for its fearlessness in battle, just like John's willingness to ride into the unknown, guns blaz
