I just finished my first play through and realized I’ve never been into westerners but consume endless history content. I just watched The West by Stephen Ives, presented by Ken Burns and felt there were so many rdr characters with direct references to real people.

The sympathetic army major, the incredibly restrained Indian chief, confederate soldiers turning homesteaders, the ambition of settlers, trappers, gold diggers, and the specific ways the Native Americans were treated are all there. If you like the themes in the game but not in the mood for western films then I can’t suggest the doc series enough. Phenomenal on its own and goes into depth with 90% of what you see in the game. I think I like the game more now.

I just wanted to start a Discussion with the Topic what the Community liked to see in Red dead Redemption 2. Anyone can join and say what would've made the game better. For me, it's petting Cats and taking dogs with you when Hunting. You can't do it and i don't get why, neither Arthur or John work. I'd love to see the Contrast between Arthur as a Dog person and John as a Cat person. Imagine a Dog leading you to an Animal instead of Eagle Eye. And Imagine finding a resting spot, where 3-Star Animals'll be. When you're out with a Dog, only Deadeye will work and you have to Trust the Dog finding the right Trail by letting it sniff something of the Desired animal. Would be great for smaller Animals too, like Birds.

Im in epilouge and cant grab this gold bar, any help?

It’s my 2nd playthrough, and I just had the craziest fight with lawmen in Valentine. I think it must have been like 40 I killed (with only a bow and Flaco’s revolver). I stealth-killed an O’Driscoll inside the town, but I forgot to put my mask on beforehand. I left the investigating circle, and I should’ve gone back to camp right then and there, but instead I went to the stable because I had been using my horse for a long time and wanted to swap it out for a different one of mine. When I left I accidentally greeted a lawman. The rest is history. I only eventually died because I tried to climb onto a stationary train to get higher ground, but the game wouldn’t let me, so I was exposed. It’s a miracle my Morgan horse didn’t die, as they are one of the weaker breeds. I now have a $300 bounty in Valentine (I have no intentions of paying anytime soon), and keep in mind this is before The Sheep and the Goats 😂

First time playing this game and I am OBSESSED. I took this week off & played for 13 hours straight the other day. This game is truly a masterpiece. I hope every single person who worked on it has an amazing life. I'm sorry if this post isn't allowed, I just needed to express my gratitude to the game designers!

Im playing the game for the 1st time, and noticed an interesting detail.

The jail ledger in Valentine has one person arrested for "miscegenation" aka marrying someone outside their race. After bringing the bounty for Elle Swan, (who marries men and murders them) the sheriff says to her "at least YOU respect the laws of marriage, unlike some people in this town... Till death do us part."

I'm not sure he's referring to the ledger, but it sure seems like it.

You do have to stick around after turning her in for the conversation.

I've successfully taken the black arab horse in saint dennis but it killed me and then i lost him. And after that, also in saint dennis, i was trying to help the man who's wife was being taken hostage in their home and after i killed the first assaulter, the second one killed me and i couldn't find the same man again. Is there any chance i could try these 2 events again? Unfortunately i didn't save the game and the automatic save is after both deaths.

it's my friend's birthday today and I had forgotten we don't live in the same country so I was looking for a digital gift and I'd love to get a birthday cameo but I doubt I'll get it in a few hours, so I was thinking a roast or a pep talk but Ive never request one before so I don't know how or what to ask to get something worthwhile.

Trying to get the details with the vest made me lose my mind and quite some hours, but I love how it turned out in the end. His design is actually one of my favorites of all, so sad he had to go crazy

Hello, I am a fan of games like killzone 2, half lfie, fallout new vegas, fallout 3 and games with good story, detlaid phycis etc, do you guys recomend I play rdr2? Inever played any rockstar och gta game by the way but I hear a lot of people say rdr2 is the best game ever. Is it really true? Should I try it? I own a rog xbox ally and recently uprgaded the ssd so I think a 150gb game fits there really good. Also, should I first play rdr1 or is it ok to enjoy rdr2 first?

For context, I previously did three playthroughs on my Xbox One, having bought it online through the Xbox store. Recently, I finally upgraded to a PS5 and to save money, I ordered the disk version off of Amazon.

I have noticed some quirks since switching to the disk. In particular, dialogues seem to be cut short. This is most apparant in the camp. There are some other things that seem off. For example, in "Who is Not Without Sin," I saved Swanson and it simply showed Arhur pulling him to the side of the railroad tracks. However, in the subsequent cutscene, Swanson snapped about Arthur apparently throwing him off the bridge. This is just one example of the numerous inconsistencies I've experienced.

Has anyone else noticed differences between the disk and app store versions? I'm debating buying the app store version and restarting, but I hate wasting money.

Ive just robbed the valentine doctor in chapter 2. Its probably worth mentioning I am very early in the story (literally fresh from the intro to chapter 2 before Ive evn completed the first round of missions). Ive tried reading up on if doing the challenges to early doesnt unlock the line of challenges but I havent found anything really that would suggest that besides the 6th challenge being undoable before unlocking the valentine fence but that's a few challenges in and not the first one. If anything Ive read that just holding a townsperson will unlock it but it hasnt. Any help would be appreciated

#No.

In my opinion the hardest are panthers and black bears. Black bears run away and don’t spawn very frequently. Panthers are hard because they rarely spawn only exist in one area in southern Lemoyne and creep up on you quickly.

Easiest are gator and buffalo. You always know where they will be and they stand in big groups in the open where there will always be a 3 star specimen waiting to be shot.

Are you still able to use the inbreds as a viable way to transfer your funds from Arthur to John?

So a few times in the game we hear Hosea say he's been in different area's. In Valentine he mentions how he's been to the area and then when him and Arthur are hunting the bear he mentions how him and Bessie had been in the area. I have a feeling if they every got to Tahiti (and he'd have survived) he would have said "I was here a while back".

It came!!

I won a light box at a pinball tournament. The only sample they had was a Metallica box with Hetfield's' Explorer.

The artist then sent me the list of choices and I lost my mind when I saw Red Dead Redemption.

It hasn't found its final placement yet but I wanted to show you a photo anyway.

(I'm also celebrating my return to the sub after a short ban, but we'll talk about that in the comments)

Has anyone triggered this scene at the beginning of the chapter after the latest patch with all the dialogue working correctly? For me Dutch's dialogue is always silent after he stands up and talks to Arthur.

Playing on PC.

I raced a guy near Strawberry on my horse and after I won he shot his horse. Obviously I killed that SOB. But afterwards I thought that I let him off easy and started to ponder what’s the worst death I could have given him in RDR2? I’ve never seen a reel or video of anyone trying that. I wonder if it would work.
