The Aberdeens are a pair of siblings living in the backwoods of Lemoyne. At first, they seem welcoming and kind to Arthur Morgan, if you stumble upon their pig farm. You'll then quickly realize that there's a lot more evil at hand than what initially meets the
Fans of Rockstar Games are used to running into shady Italian mob bosses in the Grand Theft Auto series, but seeing one in Red Dead Redemption 2 was a nice surprise. Angelo Bronte essentially runs Saint Denis as the primary crime head in the c
Before going any further, we need to address the ludonarrative dissonance in the room. Ludonarrative dissonance is when the story told by the narrative doesn't fit the story reinforced by the gameplay. It was first applied to Nathan Drake of Uncharted fame to discuss the oxymoronic nature of a charming rogue who has killed thousands of peo
When his job is done, and he hunts down the last of his former partners in crime, it seems that John is finally given a chance at redemption he has longed for. His reunion with his family isn't as storybook as he might have ho
Much like other games on this list, Red Dead Redemption feels like a different entity when indulging in side missions. That’s because the strangers met out in the wilderness offer more depth in their hardest Rdr2 challenges. There’s also the difference that can be felt in gameplay if playing as John Marston or his
Many players would likely consider Andrew Milton to be vile and evil, but he happens to be a law enforcement officer and is just trying to serve justice to a group of outlaws. The game does a great job of selling the concept of every villain being a hero in their version of the st
Leopold Straus starts the game as what seems to be a well-meaning old man who's found a way to produce income for the Van Der Linde gang in a very clever way. As Arthur Morgan's story goes on and he sees the effect the debt laid on by his gang has on people, he begins to truly hate Stra
Here we go with the rat. Somewhen between 1860-1865, Micah was born in a family of cowboys. His father, Micah Bell Jr, was an experienced outlaw. Micah Jr. exposed his son to the criminal world when Micah III was only 17. Together, they ran from the law for a brutally barbaric double homic
Sea of Coronado- Players will find this hideout at the most southwest portion of the map they can go. Typically the hideout will spawn right on the banks of the sea, and enemies will usually appear on a ridge above the pla
The reason why this first part’s side missions are more fun than the sequel’s is due to the challenge involved. These quests don’t care about your skill level and are equally difficult whether you’ve started your playthrough or ended the campa

In what other game are players able to travel into a work of art to save a painter, be the murderer in a murder mystery mansion, or help a spirit find his rest? Oblivion 's side quests are considered by many fans to be the best in the series, though there could be more to take
These have to do with liberating the area from the rule of the antagonists. Due to this style, there’s a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with conquering environments. The gameplay itself comes across as distinct here, as the focus isn’t solely on shooting mechanics. Instead, RPG elements give way for a mixture of exploration and com
Javier escaped to the US sometime in the late 1890s after killing an influential figure in his hometown. Later, he met Dutch when he was trying to steal some chickens, and soon enough, he was offered a spot in the g
I remember thinking that this surely couldn't be the end of John. Not after all he'd done. I was convinced that there was a way to survive the final shoutout with the government. At the very least, I hoped that I could take Ross down with me. It seemed the only just option, the only thing that seemed fair. But Red Dead Redemption isn't interested in being f
Most people will recognize Alberto Fussar as the main antagonist during the chapter in which Arthur Morgan and gang are prisoners in a place known as Guarma. It turns out Fussar makes an earlier appearance in the game as he can be seen at the mayor's party in Saint De
If Dutch was the gang's father figure, then Susan Grimshaw was the mother. Along with Arthur & Hosea Matthews , Ms. Grimshaw was one of the gang's original members in the early days. Before joining the gang, she had a romantic relationship with an unnamed fiancé, who eventually passed away la
