25 Hidden Plotlines Everyone Missed In Red Dead Redemption 2

One of the most affecting examples of this for my playthrough in Red Dead Redemption 2 was when I came across a house after finishing a race with a stranger. I went into the house curious if there was anything inside, such as the seemingly endless amount of cigarette cards. Inside, there was a father and son having a tense confrontation over the father's wasteful habits that caused his wife to leave them. While leaving, the boy discovered my hiding place and ran to his room. The father pulled out a gun, so I naturally killed him and proceeded to loot the location as muscle memory kicked in for every other location in the game.
When I entered the kid's room though, I found him crying underneath his bed. When I went to take the cigarette cards, he began pleading with me to leave them as they were all that he had left from his mother. I, as Arthur, killed him in cold blood, thinking it was mercy to spare him a life with a mother gone and a father dead. While I was greatly affected by this, Arthur was unmoved, never uttering a word during the event and never writing about it afterwards. Rockstar saw fit to create unique dialogue for that situation, but not to create a response in Arthur to it. This may just be oversight, but it presented the character as unmoved by the killing he does, despite what he may say to Tilly or Mary-Beth at camp, and what he may write in his journal afterward.


Irish is a dishonorable homeless man and Seth an unhinged and creepy gravedigger. All of the characters are vastly different ‘loners’ with nothing in common—yet they're all meant to be friends? There’s never any real attempt to justify or show off the trio’s kinship and the story quickly moves on from this i


Taking control of an all-new protagonist - Arthur Morgan - players had to resist the lure of Blackwater following a heist-gone-wrong, and instead explore the rest of the available map. Thankfully it was an expansive and living open world, allowing you to sit down for a game of Dominoes with your fellow campmates when you needed a break from the chaos, or slip on a bandana before robbing a train if you're feeling up for the challe


Red Dead Online _ is, well, something to behold. While there are elements in there that _could make this game the best online gaming experience yet, Rockstar has been slow in implementing helpful features and doing something about the insane amount of griefers that populate their western world. Nothing is more frustrating than fishing for an hour so you can get your gold and honor up, only to have some neckbeard camper wait until you reach the butcher to kill you or steal your wares. It makes the act of actually progressing in the story mode online somewhat impossible, and for people not looking for PVP gameplay, it makes for an all but unplayable and trying game experie


Some wise online players figured out that sometimes (not all times), if you are crouched cooking, griefers actually cannot stop the cooking animation and they can't seem to be able to harm or lasso you while you are in the proc


While at present Red Dead Redemption 2 mods Dead Redemption 2 is all the hype—not surprising, considering it was a cumulative effort by Rockstar Games over eight long years—let's not forget about its predecessor, 2010's Red Dead Redempti


If you're yet to have the displeasure of meeting the Night Folk, you're in for a treat when you do. By treat, we mean a bunch of weapon-wielding maniacs charging at you. Ride around the Bayou NWA area, and you'll find a victim hanging from a tree. Take a closer look at the body, or shoot it down, and a bunch of these mutant attackers will come charging out of the woods. They're skilled with their machetes, so be careful, and take them out quickly. Read the note on the victim and you'll unlock a side miss


It’s no new trick on Rockstar’s end to tweak city names for legal purposes and otherwise take a whole lot of inspiration for their surroundings from real-life places, but it’s still uncanny and exciting to unexpectedly step into a long-ago vacation. This goes for St. Denis, a period recreation of one of the most fun cities - New Orleans. This may be more difficult to spot for players who haven’t visited the Louisiana party town, but for those who have, St. Denis has a wistful beauty. Sure, you can’t pick up any beignets but it’s definitely worth a visit for Southern enthusia

The handful of people who know about this trick right now feel like Gods in this game, and for good reason. Lasso griefers are the worst thing about Red Dead Online . They somehow thinking lassoing you makes them some Joker-like deity that decides who lives, dies, or stays tied up in purgatory in the back of their horses. While you can hit buttons to break free once lassoed, do you know how to keep yourself from ever being lassoed? We do. It's called a knife, and should be pretty easy to figure out (though very few ha
