One of the biggest strengths of Red Dead Redemption 2's story is that there isn't really a sense of urgency to see Arthur's story to its end. Story missions typically revolve around a major heist or event that Dutch Van Der Linde's gang needs to prepare for, and Arthur is given the freedom to just enjoy the countryside in the meantime. As a benefit, engaging in the game's many side quests doesn't feel out of character, allowing players to really enjoy what the world has to of
The player must clear the hideouts and free Jimmy. During the last encounter, Jimmy says he plans to give up being a writer. Interestingly, when playing Jack, Jimmy mentions he plans to become a war reporter in World War I instead. It's these small changes that make playing the game as Jack so rewarding, even though a lot of people might not like his character all that much. Thankfully, Rockstar made some much-needed changes to make the protagonist switch more palatable in Red Dead Redemption

Side activities in RDR2 come in many flavors, ranging from hunting for rare animals to bounty hunting for the local authorities, to planning the perfect bank heists, and everything in between. Every quest feels like it's a natural part of the world and not something added to the game just to pad the runtime, a boast very few games can m
If Saint Denis is the Red Dead Redemption 2 equivalent to New Orleans, then Lagras is very much the bayou. The swamplands of the south can be quite scary when you consider that it's often home to less than savory people and can also be a breeding ground for voodoo and witchcr
Thomas Downes is known as the guy who infected Arthur with TB. This occurs when the Outlaw confronts Downes about the debt he owes. But while on the second run-through, players might notice that the debt collection scene isn't the first time Downes appears in the g

First-person shooter games tend to be ignored when the topic of side missions is raised. And yet, Far Cry 5 can boast of having some of the most fun ones. The main draw here is how these quests take on a life of their own, branching into separate storyli
If players head northeast of Strawberry, they'll find themselves in a lumberjack camp that is full of many interesting characters.

The Strange Man is an enigma, and everything in this side quest foreshadows the ending of the game. In the third meeting with him, the Strange Man will mysteriously remark how this location makes for a "fine spot." It turns out to be the final resting place for John, Uncle, and Abigail later down the line. The three bullets that John shoots at him before the gun jams could be a way to show how all three characters die, but Jack is spa
"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
