Arthur Morgan is the central character and main protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Set in 1899, the game revolves around the life of Arthur, a lifelong outlaw and member of the Van der Linde gang. Its set during the decline of the Wild West as Arthur and his fellow criminal must survive against rival gangs, the encroaching government authorities, and other nemeses. The game is considered a prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption 2 Tips And Tricks Dead Redemption, and it features appearances by fellow gang member John Mars
RDR2 takes us back to the year 1899, 34 years after slavery was repealed in the United States of America. The discriminating attitudes still remain of course, and there are those who would have preferred to keep humans as property, but now the law prohibits them from doing
When the main chapters of Red Dead ’s story pass into the epilogues and John takes the reins for the rest of the game, he has Arthur’s journal. Arthur gave John his satchel and it inspires the rugged and stubborn to-be-rancher to express himself. John has a difficult time opening up to those he truly loves, Abigail and Jack, and expressing emotions doesn’t come easily to him. But through Arthur’s life and death, John begins to learn how to speak what’s not only on his mind, but etched on his heart.
The journal is a stellar hand-written chronicle of the game’s story and your influence woven together from the perspective of the game’s two leads. It is richly-detailed in an engrossing way that made me play around it. Instead of opening it when I had a chance, I made time for it.
While in Rhodes, Arthur ends up helping two lovers from rival families – Beau Gray and Penelope Braithwaite – communicate in a sort of Romeo-and-Juliet love story but in the Wild West. Beau asks Arthur to protect Penelope while she participates in a women’s suffrage rally and is against her involvement. Arthur replies, „If she wants to rally, you got to let her rally.“ He later drives the rally wagon, proving he wasn’t against the ca
The holidays are upon us, which means that most of us are obligated to spend hours of time with our families. I kid, I kid. We all can enjoy the time we spend with our family. However, if you’re like me, you are going to find it pretty difficult to tear yourself away from your video game console. It is no ordinary game that is taking up my time though. It is a vast open-world game with countless activities to complete on a daily basis. It has an immersive story, hilarious horse physics on occasion, and a chaotic online feature. You know what game I’m talking about, ri
What’s super exciting about this small plotline is that it’s clearly based on the real-life English colony who went missing in Roanoke two years after the colony was founded. Only a skeleton and single word —“Croatoan“— carved into a tree was left behind. The skeleton and tree haven’t been found in-game just yet, but it’s very possible they’re out there somewh
Exactly what the potion does is STILL unclear; it may be the case that it does absolutely nothing at all, but with so many Easter Eggs scattered throughout the game, we can’t imagine developers would let this one slide without ANY effec
Limbs scatter the road between Strawberry and Wallace, and those brave enough to follow the trail will find a note stuffed in the victim’s mouth. From this point, the hunt is on, as the attacker goads those following their cl
**[Editor’s Note: This editorial will dive into some story spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2 , so we would suggest coming back to this piece after you have completed the game’s main story and epilogue.] **
What some players have discovered by looting the mail carriage southwest of Fort Wallace, is that the lady in the house is called Miriam, and may, in fact, be kept under unofficial house arrest by her father, Eug
You can fight this fanged creature, but I was actually curious as to why the vampire existed. We got no answers as to how it was created. But I suppose it’s not Arthur Morgan’s job to question why vampires exist. He just has to slay t
In-game journals or logs in other games often have the appearance of life, thanks to talented teams, but none feel like living, breathing books like Arthur’s does. Drake’s notes in the Uncharted series are filled with doodles and charm that is signature to Drake’s personality, but its in-game purpose is usually to solve simple puzzles more than to flesh out the characters. During my brief time with Mass Effect , the Codex was easily my favorite bit since it filled out the history of the galaxy, but it lacked a personal anchor point.
After completing Mary’s second missing in Chapter Four, players learn that Arthur actually agreed to leave the gang to be with his lover after what he thought would be his final bank robbery. When the stint goes wrong, Arthur ends up getting stuck on Gua
It appears that Arthur was on his own for a few years following his father’s arrest. In 1878, when he was 15-years old, he was eventually picked up by Dutch van der Linde, who he came to view as a father figure. Arthur became one of the first members of Dutch’s famous g
