While visiting the town of Valentine, a man named Jimmy Brooks recognizes Arthur Morgan as one of the men involved in the Blackwater incident. This doesn't bode well for him, as a chase ensues that results in him hanging off a cliff, begging for his life. The cutscene that follows is iconic, as it defines just who Arthur is in the world he lives

The Rhodes Saloon is also a gorgeous location, complete with two stories, a winding staircase, and blackjack upstairs. There's also a fun little bonus to be found, as a captive is being held prisoner in the gunsmith's basem

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

Charles Kinnear is convinced he can create wings that will allow him to launch himself off a cliff and land safely on the ground. Obviously, he can’t - but helping him collect the items he needs to build his wings is worth it to watch the l

In a poignant moment, John watches his son read out loud to him, and he finds himself tuning out what Jack is saying not because he finds it uninteresting, but because he is finally happy. He's finally gotten the family life he wanted, and he gets to watch his son grow up to be whoever he wants to be. While the "real" ending may differ ever so slightly, it's a moment worth treasuring all the s

Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Dead Redemption 2 is a large and expansive game. 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

If John chooses to antagonize them, he will threaten to steal their horses and will lose honor. John can instead choose to wish them well. As they leave, the man's wife will ask if they have enough water for the journey and whether he fed the hor

There were many moments between Arthur and Dutch that demonstrated not only the vaguely abusive power dynamic between the two of them but also how important their relationship was to the overall story. However, their last interaction was by far the most stunning in its rawn

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

While the first Red Dead did have some cadence of the outlaw lifestyle, players never got the full gang experience. Rockstar made up for this in the very first chapter of Red Dead 2 when the gang robs a train owned by the oil baron Leviticus Cornw

Although this scene is meant to feed a sense of unease going into Undead Nightmare , it also embodies everything John fought for. At the beginning of the DLC, John returns to find his family sitting by the fireplace, joking around and enjoying the domesticity they worked so hard

Rockstar Games have a reputation for producing some of the best video games ever - and Red Dead Redemption is the jewel in the Rockstar crown. Both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 are known for their heartrending storylines and charismatic characters - but in true Rockstar style, they don’t scrimp on the funnies, eit

For Anakin Skywalker, his motivator was the love for his family. Anakin's inability to prevent his mother's death and his fear of losing Padme exacerbate his transformation, but the seeds of this change were present even before. Anakin was always brash and struggled to control his emotions, often acting in the moment without thinking through his actions. Dutch's love is more abstract than loving another person, but the love of an ideal is just as powerful and dangerous if it's not pursued with care. Dutch is not without the motivations of wanting a family, though. Little is revealed about Dutch's life before the gang , but the pieces that RDR2 does show displays his longing for a family that is free of the burdens of the front

The Undead Nightmare DLC has been hugely popular with Red Dead fans - and this mission is a nod to the zombie movies that inspired it. When filmmaker D.S. MacKenna has the mighty brainwave to make a movie about "flesh-eating monsters," John can’t help but ask: "What kind of sick person would like th

Braithwaite Manor is an interesting location - not just owing to its physicality, but also its importance to the plot - storming the manor and burning it to the ground proves one of the most memorable events in Red Dead Redemption
