There are plenty of Van der Linde gang camp spots in Red Dead Redemption 2 , and players shouldn’t avoid them. Sure, exploring is extremely fun, and it’s nice to see everything with Arthur and his horse, but players are missing some key content if they keep Arthur from camp for so long. After all, there’s a reason Arthur is so loyal to this g

There's something about realistic military shooters that makes them so much fun to play through.

From exclusive clothing to entire missions, there’s a lot of missable content that some players might have never experienced in their first playthroughs as there are cut-off points in the story that the game doesn’t make players aware of until it’s already too late to go ba

Arthur Morgan has immense talent, and it’s a shame that he detests himself too much to realize it. What makes Arthur so compelling is his fragile nature and pure masculinity. Roger Clark’s portrayal is incredible, and the layers of Arthur can be felt within his words and emotions, but even more so when it comes to Arthur’s drawings and feelings that he puts to page in his jour

Red Dead Redemption 2 players become accustomed to seeing Bill Williamson as the punchline to a lot of jokes, ranging from what Arthur says to him at camp to what the gang talks about on missions. Despite his grumpy and cold demeanor, Williamson appears to be a loyal member of the Van der Linde gang, consistently following Dutch's orders and keeping the camp safe. This all changes in Chapter 6, however, when Williamson is one of the gang members who takes Micah's side against Arthur and John. Williamson sides with the majority, saving himself instead of doing what is ri

This is also fairly evident in his gameplay. Arthur can do all the same activities available to John in the first Red Dead Redemption 2 outfits Dead Redemption plus more. Furthermore, many of the activities included in both games are much more realistically detailed in the sequel. In Red Dead Redemption 2, players have to clean their guns, feed their horse, and keep in mind whether they are downwind from any prey they are hunting .

Arthur ends up killing the other four shootists, then is asked to get Calloway a duel with the gunman named Slim Grant. Grant refuses, Calloway shoots him in the back, feels guilty, and then asks Arthur to duel him to regain his honor.

RDR2 allows for plenty of exploration, including side missions. According to Tech Crunch , the game does not follow a linear storyline. This allows players to basically do what they want. You'll get to experience the Wild West in all its outlaw glory.

Javier's role in Red Dead Redemption is again similar to Williamson, although in Escuela's case he now works for the Mexican Government . When facing his own capture (or possible death) at the hands of John, his last ditch effort for freedom is to offer to give both Williamson and Dutch's locations to John. Considering these are the same people that he sided with years prior, it demonstrates that Javier would sell out anyone if it meant he could survive. Since Javier remained selfish throughout his life, he was never able to find redempt

From a game set just after World War II to a franchise set in the heart of it, the Brothers In Arms series began in 2005 with the critically acclaimed Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 , which was the first of nine games from the franch

John, however, is much more effective at fulfilling one specific archetypal role within Western fiction, meaning that though Arthur serves a wider variety of purposes, John Marston is still superior depending on who is making the decision. Subjectivity, then, cannot be entirely excluded from the situation. However, if one had to recommend one of **Red Dead Redemption ** 's __ two protagonists under the pretense that they might fulfill a particular fantasy, then the safest recommendation would be for Arthur. His versatility means that even if a player wants to be a good cowboy or The Man With No Name, then Arthur can still fill that role for them. He may not be able to do it as well as John, but the player will still leave the game feeling as if their Western fantasies had been fulfil
