You could argue that they were waiting for Dutch to return before attacking the new hideout, but that’s just more speculation. We later learn that Micah revealed their new location to the Pinkerton agents, and there’s nothing to indicate that they already knew about it from the let

The game’s internal logic also has the tendency to not make a whole lot of sense. Granted, many of these logical inconsistencies and flaws are waved away at the behest of gameplay, and we can understand that. While the game certainly is immersive, you don’t want it to be TOO immersive. When that happens, you risk losing the audience. With that said, it’s still fun to ponder the total lack of sense that this game’s universe ma

So long as you shoot every single miserable bird in your path, you’re going to end up with an incredible amount of feathers in your satchel. While feathers may not fetch much of a price on their own, a surplus of them will net you a nice payday, especially if you sincerely do take your time to shoot every bird you

If you’re bored of the various cowboy hats on offer and want something a bit more different, then get thee to th1e Old Tomb, slightly northwest of Annesburg, just across the river from the mining town. Head down inside, and you’ll find the Viking Hatchet, which still makes a fearsome weapon, 1000 years after it was forged. In the side rooms, there’s the incredible Viking Helmet, and hidden behind some skulls, an ancient Viking comb, which can fulfill a camp request with pana

In the early quarter of the game, you assign the help of Nigel West Dickens, a snotty and theatrical man who is literally a snake oil salesperson. West Dickens suggests you connect with his colleagues Irish and Seth to help in your mission to break into Fort Mer

In the mission, Irish is being roughed up by a Welshman and an American, whom everyone confusingly refers to as the ‘Frenchman.’ After Marston saves Irish from the two, he asks him Irish why Frenchie held that specific title—Irish doesn’t bother explaining and it’s never mentioned ag

The gang has ample opportunities to eliminate both Ross and Milton, yet they never do it. Arthur has the chance to do it while he’s fishing with Jack, but we can understand not wanting to subject the child to violence. However, both agents later show up, completely unprotected, to the Van der Linde camp in order to negotiate a tr

Talk about bad luck. Another one of the points of interest required for 100 percent completion, Meteor House, as its been named, can be found in New Hanover’s Roanoke Ridge, southwest of Dover Hill. Here, you’ll find a house that has been destroyed by a meteor, which you can pick up. If you collect both meteors, you get a bonus that reduces the effects of hot weather by 10 percent, just in case you needed more persuading to check out this cool little locat

Red Dead Redemption 2 achievements Dead Redemption II might actually have one of the easiest fishing mini-games in the entire medium. Traditionally, a fishing mini-game requires quite a bit of effort on the player’s end, but Rockstar decided to go easy on our thumbs. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing as it means you can catch fish online incredibly fast. Regardless of which fish you catch, you’ll find yourself with more than enough soggy critters to trade into the butcher, earning you a respectable payday from just lounging ab

I kept thinking back to Andrew Dominik’s 2007 film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford , which I’ve been presuming was the most prominent visual inspiration for Red Dead Redemption 2 for a few reasons. For the most overt example, look no further than the major train robbery sequence from early on in the story, and compare it to one of the first scenes in Dominik’s film . From the foreboding music, the light in-between the trees as the gang members await the train, and the point man standing on the track to stop the train, the two scenes are nearly the same beat-by-beat.

In the Mexico section, Marston is placed in the middle of a Civil War between the ruthless Government and the hapless rebels—both sides of the conflict offer Marston’s help on his quest in return for his gun-for-h

Throughout the game, it’s established that the gang can never go back to Blackwater due to their notoriety and the insane prices on their heads. So, why couldn’t they just pay off the bounty and walk back in? It seems that everything has a price in this game, including morality. You can wipe out an entire city, pay some money, and walk right back in like nothing ever happened. Well, that’s just what the Van der Linde gang did in Blackwater, yet apparently, their crimes were so foul that they went beyond bounties. Why is destroying Blackwater so much worse than destroying Saint De

He even calls it a paradise on earth—so what happens when you finally make it over the border? Irish up and leaves back to the US never to be seen again. It’s a weird move considering his existence in the States is beyond miserable, plus the trip has been one arduous and dangerous ride—yet for no specific reason, he heads back ag
