It's a simple quest with a few interesting moments of banter here and there. Moments like these add more context to the events of the first game and why the deaths John Marston had to orchestrate were pretty tragic in their
'A Test of Faith' is a Stranger mission where players encounter Deborah MacGuinness, an amateur paleontologist, in The Heartlands, New Hanover. She'll ask players to mail the coordinates of 30 dinosaur bones they come across for a cash reward in ret
It's understandable if some players tend to skip this mission since it's too much hassle for a very minimal reward. Lucky for every completionist out there, simplified guides and shortcuts for finding these dinosaur bones are all over the internet
"Oh, Brother" is easily one of the most hilarious and entertaining quests found throughout the wide world of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Players will encounter a twin duo in Valentine near the store after completing Chapter 3 and beginning Chapter 4. It's easy to miss this quest as the NPCs simply look like two young men arguing with one another. Players will need to head nearby to initiate the questline, which spans multiple encounters with the tw
After the events of Saint Denis seemingly left Dutch Van Der Linde with a deteriorating brain, Micah was worming his way into Dutch's head. Micah is the sole reason the Van Der Linde Gang folded, and why Arthur died an unceremonious de
Fans of Rockstar Games are used to running into shady Italian mob bosses in the Grand Theft Auto series, but seeing one in Red Dead Redemption 2 was a nice surprise. Angelo Bronte essentially runs Saint Denis as the primary crime head in the c
John Marston did everything Edgar Ross asked him to do. For his actions, he was supposed to receive a pardon for his past. But John knows all to well that the past can't be killed, and in the end, it catches up to us
And so John is gunned down, and perhaps the most tragic outcome of all is that his son follows him down the path of the outlaw. In some ways, John's life can be seen as a waste. But to strive against what we know to be wrong, even if the outcome seems inevitable, is never a wa

Ludonarrative dissonance is when the story told by the narrative doesn't fit the story reinforced by the gameplay. It was first applied to Nathan Drake of Uncharted fame to discuss the oxymoronic nature of a charming rogue who has killed thousands of peo
Still, the real masterstroke of the game is that it lets us live life with our MacGuffin. A MacGuffin is an object or person that drives the plot forward. Our character needs to get or regain the MacGuffin, and thus it justifies everything they do in pursuit of it. Usually, when the MacGuffin is acquired, that's when the credits roll. But that's not the case with Red Dead Redempti
Dominoes is a fairly simple, luck-based minigame players can check out in Red Dead Redemption 2 . While it can be frustrating if the stars don't align with the player, it's still a decent way to pass the time for those who want to relax after a few intense missi

Is Dutch Van Der Linde inherently evil and a vile man? Well, most people would answer that question with a resounding no. He's a crook, but he simply wants to continue living the life of an outlaw and cr
In fact, it is one of the most honorable things we can do, to strive to be better than the darkest parts of our nature. In many ways, John's life is better summed up by the final epitaph written on his grave. Blessed are the Peacekeepers, for they will be called sons of
Leopold Straus starts the Game News as what seems to be a well-meaning old man who's found a way to produce income for the Van Der Linde gang in a very clever way. As Arthur Morgan's story goes on and he sees the effect the debt laid on by his gang has on people, he begins to truly hate Stra
We all know Dutch's ruthless and unforgiving nature, like when he once promised never to hesitate to eliminate anyone from the gang who snitched, but why did he have to go that far to kill Gloria? Yes, she was a gold-digging degenerate who pointed her knife at him when she asked for more gold, but she could easily be disar
While many players will find this mission, the next couple of times Marko is encountered, he is located high up in the mountains, almost on the edge of the map. Players who don't venture this far to check out the awaiting question mark will miss out on one of the strangest and most electrifying missions in the g
