Arthur Morgan truly is at his worst when dealing with the Downes family. It makes certain thematic sense, as Thomas Downes inadvertently gives Arthur TB , which of course, leads to his physical deterioration. In a certain karmic way, Arthur is cosmically punished while at his most morally repugn
Arthur is nothing if not self-aware. During the “bad” ending (the ending received if a player has low honor), Micah will damn Arthur before executing him. However, Arthur gets the last word in, yelling, “Damn us both!” right before he is kil
The gang continues to run, with Dutch leaving John for dead . It’s then that Arthur mounts up on the Gatling gun and beings mowing down scores of lawmen. Unfortunately, with the inaccuracy of the Gatling gun it’s just as easy to hit the Lawmen’s horse as it is them. As the train continues to move, eventually the lawmen can no longer follow, which gives the gang the time they need to finish the robbery before they get to the blown-up bridge the players had destroyed in a prior mission. They quickly blow through the tightly sealed door, grab the cash, and jump off the train just before it crashes over the cliffside into the rocks be
The great thing about these games is that players can customize their own Arthur Morgans while still adhering to the same general storyline and character arc. As such, players are given choices in how to respond to certain people and situations. In Saint-Denis, there is a feminist advocating for women’s suffr
The way that Nigel talks about Gavin, and would walk the plains of America for him, makes it seem like there is something more than just a friend who goes for a cheeky weekend pint. In Nigel’s own words: ” We were best mates. I mean, really best mates. He’d never leave me. Never. ” The use of the word really certainly raises a brow, and he is confident in the fact that Gavin would never leave him. After all, they came all the way from England to start a new life in America . Yet, was there a reason they left England? Could it be bigotry towards gay people at the t
The last, and most chaotic, train robbery of Red Dead Redemption 2 comes at the end of the game. The gang is broken and members have gone their separate ways, but Dutch has one more job to pull. When the train doesn’t stop in Saint Denis as planned, the remaining gang members chase it down on horseback, resulting in the player jumping from horse to train and vice versa multiple times as they trek along the train tracks in an explosive shoot
By contrast, Red Dead Redemption 2 Treasure Maps Dead 1 opens much more slowly, yet with a remarkable display of bravado and stupidity from its protagonist. Forced to confront his old gang members in order to save his family, John goes to meet Bill Williamson, who’s hiding out in Fort Mercer with a gang of his
While visiting the Downes family to collect the gang’s money , Arthur turns to the grieving Archie Downes and utters the most iconic line of the entire game: “Maybe when your mother’s finished mourning your father, I’ll keep her in black. On your beha
While the main missions contain plenty of comic moments – both Arthur and John have quickfire wit – it’s the ‘Stranger’ missions and side quests that contain the funniest, most bizarre stories. All the funniest video game missions have a little darkness behind them – and Red Dead pulls them off perfec
John is one of the most misunderstood characters by those around him. While he isn’t always the wisest, he does have a sense of clarity and wisdom that is leagues above most people around him. This sense shines through this cutscene, where he deftly and eloquently tells Bonnie about his life, his past, and his plans. Not such a fool now, is he, Miss MacFarl
Arthur is simply threatening Archie with death, and he utters it in the coolest and most poetic way possible. It also proves that Arthur is a malicious villain, threatening a young teenager with death after viciously assaulting his father (and possibly causing his dea
The company released two games throughout the 2010s – Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 . Both amazing games and both instant classics. But which title is the better game remains a source of debate and content
That includes unique points of interest, random events and attacks, a beautiful view, some creepy and unexplainable sight, or even just that animal so desperately needed crossing the path. It’s a lively wo
The verbal description of Gavin’s profile provided by Nigel doesn’t offer players much when it comes to finding him, as everyone they stumble across in RDR2 , whether they be strange or friendly, lacks a notable Cockney accent and a big size that could narrow down who he is. What is interesting here is how Nigel is dressed: his attire is formal and neat, and his face seems washed and well-groomed, indicating that perhaps Gavin hasn’t been missing for all that l
Arthur’s assault on Thomas Downes really pushes the limit between “likable playable character” and “hateful protagonist whom players might not even want to control.” While beating Downes for the money, Downes pleads with Arthur and tells him that he has a family. Arthur, ever the career criminal , simply utters, “I don’t care about your fami
