After leaving the freezing temperatures of Colter in Ambarino, most players won’t want to head back. However, putting on some winter clothing and retreading into the snow to the icy lake of Lake Isabelle will reward players with a giant Legendary White Bison, that’s impossible to miss in terms of sights and shooting since its great size makes it an easy target for guns . This beast has a hard time getting away due to the openness of the area, so it’s an easy kill once it’s spot
Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to fight its own nature. Perhaps, more accurately, I’m constantly fighting my own nature as a gamer while playing it. Small mishaps always pulled me out of the game, like bumping into pedestrians in Saint Denis would automatically get me wanted, which obviously turned into bloody shootouts every time. The serious nature of the game and its story belied no actual seriousness when presenting topics of immense depth. Rockstar’s attempt at making one of the most realistic games falls flat due to awkward button placement, cumbersome menus, annoyingly constant random events, and a slowly-paced st
The Legendary Elk is one of the easiest Legendary Animals to hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 due to its distinct white coat. The shaggy mane and snowy coat of the Legendary Elk make it easily distinguishable from other creatures, but what makes this rare beauty such a hard catch in the first place is its skittish nature. The Legendary Elk will often run at the slightest sound, so it’s advised to take this magical beast out with a bow or a scoped rifle to avoid its retreat deeper into the wo
Ever since playing the original Red Dead Redemption , one of my favorite characters across all forms of media has been Dutch Van der Linde. Struggling with demons from the past, fighting to live as an outlaw on the run, believing in himself as much as his followers, Dutch is a complex and complicated individual trying to survive in a world that has drastically changed around him. Much of what he represents and struggles with across both stories ironically reflects exactly what is wrong with the sequel game. Having waited almost ten years for a new, more beautiful Rockstar iteration, I could not wait to dive into Red Dead Redemption
Not much is known about what happened to his mother, but his father was killed by a group of men. It’s unclear whether or not his father’s death was a result of a hate crime, but the fallout led a young boy down a path of revenge and anger. A sad turn considering his father wanted him to be a law
Hosea met Dutch at a campfire and as he was trying to con and rob him he realized Dutch had already robbed him. The two respected each other’s craft and bonded over their shared life as outlaws. Their years together are likely the reason Dutch always held Hosea’s opinion in such high reg
Scarlet Meadows has quite a few plains to explore, especially with its connection to the Heartlands in New Hanover. As such, the dry and rocky climate makes the Legendary Coyote an easy spot, as this dark gray coyote isn’t exactly a threat, and is noticeable enough that a quick bullet to the head or an arrow through the body will drop it quic
It’s unclear if the name was the only thing that was passed down, or if being the worst type of human was a genetic trait passed down through generations in his families bloodline. He had a one night stand with a woman in Blackwater, so there’s a chance a Micah Bell IIII exi
Most of the time when people think of nicknames they automatically assume they’re used as a term of endearment. That’s not always the case as many times nicknames can also be used to tease or ridicule people based on their previous actions or mista
The sequel shows a somewhat different character. In the crossroads of an existential dilemma, Dutch must choose between changing his entire identity to save his band of followers or fall victim to his own fallacies and authoritative attitude. Dutch is one of the most conflicted characters in the entire series, struggling with his devotion to living free while still chasing a life of everlasting peace for his gang. He truly believes in himself, as much as his followers do, which drives him into the very state of insanity we find him in during the origi
Would you believe that out of the entire Van Der Linde gang, Micah Bell is the only member Arthur Morgan could never see eating at any point in the game early Access? Well, that’s entirely true and makes sense for someone who wants to hide things from people. Not allowing people to see him eat also allows Micah Bell to have more creative freedom in his lies and opens up the door for made-up stories to cover his tracks. Another logical conclusion is that he’s a demon who feeds people believing the lies he comes up w
Lenny had a close relationship with his father and was willing to learn any and everything his father was willing to teach him. The watch was the last physical connection he had to his father and it likely broke his heart when he lost
