Before going any further, we need to address the ludonarrative dissonance in the room. 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
However, a week before the arranged execution date, the protagonist's wagon was intercepted by a group that wanted to set the protagonist free. As a way to repay the favor, the protagonist is tasked with finding the murderer of Phillip LeClerk by his widow, Jess
The cool thing about Red Dead Redemption 2 being a prequel is that players get to see what Tumbleweed was like before it became a ghost town. John Marston gets to explore it during the game's epilogue and can even hunt down a couple of bounties for the local sher
Arthur's level of honor alters several things throughout the adventure. One of the more subtle changes is his spirit animal . An honorable player will see bright images of a deer at certain moments during the story. Whereas, those who act immorally will witness dark scenes of a coyote inst
Red Dead Redemption 2 earned tons of critical praise after its release in 2018 with most of the response centering on the game's narrative. The game is about redemption and the characters are at the forefront of what captures the imagination of the audience that plays Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption franch
Soon, Arthur knocked his captor down, cut Leon and Baptiste loose, and helped them fight the militia to save the workers. Baptiste gave him some money and wished him luck on his quest to return to America, and nobody really knows if they made out alive it after that ni
Another thing that changes depending on a player's honor is the dialogue in certain missions. An Arthur with high honor is noticeably warmer than the low honor version. Even the way others talk about the Outlaw changes depending on how noble he's b
Players will find themselves embroiled in a love triangle , something Arthur usually wouldn't find himself partaking in. The writing for this particular mission is particularly biting, with the twins vying for the attention of a woman by calling each other some pretty despicable (and downright comical) names. It's one of the funniest experiences in the game, and players should see it unfold at least o
One of the coolest and most often-overlooked missions is "A Bright Bouncing Boy," which can be started once players reach Saint Denis. There, just north of the Horse Stable on the edge of town, players will encounter a man named Marko Dragic. The inventor is being called a fraud by some strangers and enlists Arthur's help to prove them wrong, roping players into a fun mini-game where they must pilot a remote-controlled b
Next, much like GTA Online , we have Red Dead Online 's silent protagonist, and it's up to you to decide your protagonist's name, gender, Hardest Rdr2 Challenges or even appearance. At some point, the protagonist was arrested for the wrongful murder of Phillip LeCl
Arthur had always been a ruthless, bloodthirsty, and merciless outlaw with few moral scruples. His tuberculosis diagnosis became a turning point in life that helped him to see everything from a better perspective. Thanks to him, John and his family got to taste a normal life without the law chasing after them, at least for some t
Players who are looking for something a bit comedic and heartwarming should seek out two escaped convicts just outside Rhodes in the woods near the train tracks. "The Ties That Bind Us" is a three-part quest where Arthur (or John) can encounter the duo multiple times, helping them to avoid recapture (or turning them back in for the bounty money if they see fit). The duo is rather funny to watch, initially hating on one another quite a bit, but it soon becomes apparent to the player that they're pretty reliant on each other for survi
Also from the Legends and Killers DLC of Red Dead Redemption , Mr. Kelly is next on this list. He's a three-time champion of the annual Battle Royale fast-draw, a gun-slinging competition in Brimstone, the largest town on Red Dead Revolver . Not only that, but he's also one of Governor Griffon's top-guns and right-hand men, the primary antagonist on the Revolver unive
It's safe to say that the Guarma chapter on Red Dead Redemption 2 is the game's strangest-yet-most-aesthetically-beautiful chapter. Before reaching Guarma, you've spent hours surviving the lifestyle of an outlaw , dealing against enemies pulling you down from every direction, and the crummy life of New Hanover & Lemoyne. It's nice to have a change of pace with a refreshing sight of this beautiful tropical island. On this sugar plantation island, Arthur helped rebels fight off Alberto Fussar's dictatorship before the gang headed back to Amer
