No, I’m not talking about your health bar, and I’m not even talking about your health core. Think a little more long-term. What you eat, how much you eat, and how much exercise you get determines Arthur Morgan ‘s weight . And that weight can have important game-changing consequences that come with. Being overweight means you’ll take less damage, but have less stamina. Being underweight means you’ll take more damage, but have more stamina. You have to take the good with the bad, and keep in mind your weight will change dynamically based on what you
On the subject of player freedom, Chapter 2 will feature an instance in Money Lending and Other Sins where Arthur Morgan confronts Thomas Downes, the man who ultimately infects him with TB. Naturally, most players will beat up poor Thomas without really thinking considering the context of the miss
Finally! With the beta version of Red Dead Redemption Online coming out soon, you can be certain Honor Level is bound to have an effect on your experience. Players with a good Honor Level might get nicer missions, such as escorting a convoy of valuables safely through bandits, while players with a bad Honor Level might be asked to free an outlaw from a prison and take more heat from the law. Whatever the case, a person’s Honor Level is going to play a part in the online version of the game so it’s best to start thinking about that moral comp
Consistency is important in any medium, but doubly so for video games. If the gameplay does not infer the narrative or vise versa, what’s the point of making a video game in the first place? Create a world that can only exist in this medium or don’t create them at all. Naturally, this means everything mechanic should co
Cosmetic enthusiasts rejoice! We have more outfits to try on. Honor Level +6 grants players access to outfits like the Drifter, the Gambler, the Faulkton, the Farrier, the Dewberry Creek, and the Deauvi
Which, unfortunately, weather doesn’t. Despite building up how much weather will affect the game, Arthur is basically left to his own devices as he can run up the snowiest peaks wearing as little as possible with only the most minor of penalties. If the story stresses the dangers of weather, the gameplay not reflecting that is a plot h
Remember back in 2012, or as it’s known in some circles, the year of the bow? It seems like every game that came out then packed one in, and for good reason. Red Dead Redemption 2’s bow does a very respectable amount of damage and has a good reload time, but that’s not what makes it strong. Its silence is what does it. If you’re sneaking up on a hideout or fancy taking out some enemies without alerting their comrades, the bow does this superbly. One well-placed arrow can down anyone. If you’re feeling fancy, make some dynamite arr
In addition to this, players can also rack up some sweet rewards by helping people in need. Saving that man who was bitten by a snake might end up with him offering to buy you any weapon from the store. So being good-guy Arthur is definitely reward
Let me tell you the story of a player who didn’t know about the existence of lock breakers in the early going. I’d seen doors blown open with what I believed to be dynamite early on in the game in a cut-scene, and so foolishly assumed that, surely, tossing dynamite on the back of a locked caravan was the way to open
This is it boys and girls — the pinnacle of good-guy rewards. It’s your very own personal Black Friday sale anytime, anyplace. My oh my does being a good guy pay off! 50% off in every store in the game is amazing if you ask me. Good-guy Arthur sure does get some sweet Karma on all the nice things he’s done. If you can get to Honor Level +7, you unlock this incredible reward which makes things pretty easy in the mid-to-late game when you want to be stacked
Rather early on into the gang, Arthur mentions that Trelawny is allowed to weave in and out of Dutch’s gang as he pleases simply because of the quality of information he gives out. At the time, this seems like a fine enough explanation, but thinking about it does nothing but unravel how stupid a decision this was on Dutch’s p
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the year. I shouldn’t have to state why this is the case to anyone who has played it, but just in case you haven’t, let me fill you in. The game… is… awesome! The story is a moving tale about one of the last few bands of outlaws left in the West. They are a close-knit group of people, more of a family than a gang, but you have to watch as the ties that bind them slowly unravel. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 mods Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, we more or less know that the Van der Linde gang will fall apart , but that makes it no less tragic when it happ
Not only does it provide insight into the gang’s disintegration, but Arthur is a bit of an artist. He fills parts of his diary with little sketches of things he has seen on his journeys. So be sure to read your di
