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
'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
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
Which animal the player sees can change throughout the game, but on a first playthrough, it easy to mistake it as simply part of the narrative. Only in subsequent run-throughs do players realize it's affected by their own acti
Updated November 7, 2024, by Hamza Haq: Most games, open-world or otherwise, put very little emphasis on getting the side quest portion of the story right. Developers often focus all of their efforts on fleshing out the main story, the exploration, the progression system, and other factors. Side quests are mostly at the very bottom of the priority list for developers when, in reality, they are what gamers spend the most time doing, especially in open-world games where player freedom is at the core of the gameplay loop. The games that do get it right allow the player to remain immersed in the world setting, living and breathing the fiction as if they were a part of it. Open-world games with great side quests don't automatically become classics, but the ones that do always have a great questing experie
Northwest of Brandywine Drop and east of Doverhill Arthur can find the legendary moose. As with several similar animals, players will want to keep their distance and sneak up on this impeccable beast but players will need even more of an edge to down it. Using a beefed-up rifle is the best bet for Arthur to kill it as quickly as possible. If not killed fast enough, players will find that this beast is very hard to keep up with.

Once again players should keep in mind that gang hideouts don't always spawn at these exact locations but in the general area. If it doesn't appear in the exact spot, they should ride around for a few minutes to see if it pops up somewhere else. If not just move onto the next one on the l
Side activities in rdr2 Bloodhound 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
Although the Guarma chapter only serves as some kind of filler in Arthur's journey, it does deserve better. This chapter exposed the real menace of the gang's leader, Dutch Van der Linde, and his narcissistic, paranoia, and sadistic nature. It's proven when he and Arthur go into a cave to meet a shady elderly woman, to reveal the hidden path to Aguasdulces in their quest of rescuing Jav
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
Every Daedric Prince has a side quest, towns and cities are bustling with people wanting the Dragonborn's help, and that's not even mentioning the number of guilds and organizations players can join like the Companions or the College of Winterhold. For a game as well-known as Skyrim , it still surprises even the most hardcore f
If players head northeast of Strawberry, they'll find themselves in a lumberjack camp that is full of many interesting characters. Players can initially sell some of their supplies at a premium here if they're strapped for cash. A visit later on will feature an event where a lumberjack gets trapped under the trunk of a tree, prompting Arthur and the other members of the camp to go and help free
The legendary white bison is located just north of Lake Isabella between the lake and its two rivers, Spider Gorge and Deadboot Creek, that lead down into it. This frozen waterway is a formidable area for an under-suited Arthur, so players should make sure to dress for the weather. The white bison is best to be snuck up on as he isn't the friendliest creature on sight. The bison can charge the player or run if not killed quickly, dragging this fight into a much more dangerous one.
