Red 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

Upon entering Armadillo, the player may encounter a standoff between the town's sheriff and the Del Lobo gang, trying to get an outlaw out of jail. The player can intervene, and the sheriff will thank John for his hero

It's unknown exactly what this building is or why it explodes, but further inspection seems to indicate it was some sort of moonshine distillery . There is also a charred corpse that can be found inside the house, though it can't be loo

It doesn't get much better, or more unique, than Saint Denis. Red Dead Redemption 2 Beginner Guide 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

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

Red Dead Redemption 2 's Van der Linde gang leader was a showman incarnate whose boundless charisma inspired those around him even when he didn't have any hope in his plan. RDR2 's plot was centered around the spiraling downfall of Dutch as he got his allies in exponentially more trouble with each convoluted heist plan. His lavish mount, an albino Arabian steed he called The Count, is an incarnation of the calm, composed, and elegant façade he kept throughout the most hectic parts of Rockstar's West

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

The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn't. A hero's demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va

Armadillo is a much different town in this game than it will be in just a few short years, with John finding it nearly deserted due to a plague. The quiet and simple land of New Austin may not have the hustle-and-bustle of Saint Denis or Blackwater up north, but it still has many unique encounters for the player to experience. While these experiences don't necessarily add anything to the gameplay or provide any special privileges for the player, they could still be exciting for completionists who want to get the most out of Red Dead Redemption

The Star Wars prequels are by no means perfect. Despite their flaws, though, the Star Wars prequels do have a solid plot at work. Literature is rife with powerful tales of heroes' tragic spirals into becoming the villain, from the once honorable Macbeth's betrayal of his king and country to Harvey Dent's path to becoming Two-Face and Walter White's journey from hardworking family man to maniacal drug lord. Every medium has them, and video games are no exception: from Bioshock 's jarring "Would You Kindly" revelation to the groundbreaking moment players realize Dormin's plans in Shadow of the Colossus . Red Dead is uniquely positioned, though, in that it can take the stories of the previous games which established the gang's tragic demise because of their erratic leader and wind back the clock to a time when he was still a hero. Before there was Vader, there was Anakin, and before there was the Van Der Linde Gang, there was Du

Lenny was a young outlaw eager to make a name for himself that also loved to have a good time and chat with the rest of the Van der Linde crew. His saloon mission was one of RDR2 's comedic highlights, and he provided some of the best conversations in the game, like talking to Arthur about his white privilege and teaching Sean MacGuire how to r
