Micah is just one of many performances in the game that are brilliantly acted by the cast. Peter Blomquist plays Micah and does a phenomenal job. He's not new to Rockstar Games as he also played Dr. Harlan Fontaine in 2011's L.A. Noire . As we'll get into later, it's hard to get an audience to truly hate a character. Video games as a medium are slowly reaching a point where the voice actors are getting the recognition they deserve, and that's likely due to storytelling in video games increasing in quality almost exponentia

The best storytelling is often cyclical and has the storyteller leading the audience back to areas of past events as a way to grow the characters and let them reflect on how far they've come. A neat side mission that could have gone a long way for Sadie would have been one in which she and Arthur visit her old home up in the moments. It was a pivotal point in Sadie's life and Arthur was the catalyst for what transpired throughout the rest of the game. Sadly, there was no return home for Sadie throughout the entirety of the g


Players will need to kill three birds of prey with tomahawks to complete this challenge. This is one of the more difficult challenges to beat considering that it is near impossible to hit birds out of the air with throwing weapons even with dead-eye. Players will either need to wait for birds to try and scavenge the bodies of fallen enemies or ride around until they see a bird perched near rivers or on fences. Stationary birds are easy to pick off with dead-eye if players are quick and sil


From the start, everyone assumed that Red Dead Online would be a harder sell to the general consumer as it doesn't have the fast sports cars and modern perks of Grand Theft Auto . What it does have is a genuine western multiplayer experience that isn't common in the modern age of video games. As time has gone on, the mode has transformed from a lackluster product to one with lots going for it. Look for Red Dead Online to improve leaps and bounds in the coming ye


Red Dead Redemption 2's online mode isn't quite as popular as Grand Theft Auto Online is, but that doesn't mean it isn't still worth updating to next-gen consoles alongside its single-player counterpart. However, hopefully Rockstar will not inflate Red Dead Online's economy with too many free gold bars, lest they risk accusations that they are sabotaging the game in much the same way some players have suggested they are doing to GTA Online . Right now the company is giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars every month to players leading up to the release of GTAV on the PS5, and if they were to do the same in Red Dead Online it could possibly send the in-game economy into r


It's hard to argue with the fact that Arthur experiences tremendous character growth throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 . His growth was about redeeming his character and showing the open world game walkthrough how good of a man he truly was. For Sadie, as mentioned before, she began as a frail and defenseless widow and transformed into a formidable outlaw. Like Arthur, she was morally aligned and eventually turned into a bounty hunter. She's not perfect and stuck to many of her spiteful tendencies, but it's as though she's lived two separate li


To complete challenges five players will need to take out five mounted enemies with one throwing knife per kill. In order to complete this challenge, players will need to ensure they get a headshot when throwing their knives.

Thinking they were dangerous monsters, John did as he was asked and started to kill every sasquatch he could find.

There aren't many noble characters in the Red Dead Redemption series. Instead, the games are filled with murderous outlaws and cold-blooded government agents.

Although he's just a minor character in Red Dead Online , Bert Higgins can be a lifesaver when times are tough. He's part of the customer list of the moonshine business. However, unlike other patrons, he's more than willing to buy any kind of moonshine players produce, regardless of the flavor or the quality of it.

The Van der Linde gang does business with both families and never really takes a side in their feud.

The Grays originated as British Loyalists in Scotland, who snitched on Jacobite supporters during the 1745 uprising. The family eventually uprooted and moved to North America a year later. Their lives were under threat after Jacobites began hunting down and taking revenge on British informants, so when they eventually made their home in Scarlett Meadows in 1957 the family lied about their past and made it appear as though they had been pro-Jacobite during the conflict.

The game then will task players with killing ten enemies using crafted shotgun ammo. For those who may not know, ammo can be crafted for weapons while at campfires.

The Van der Linde Gang may have ended in a very abrupt manner, but not everyone was met with the fate of death or prison.

This appears to be the end of the Braithwaite and Gray feud… until Arthur receives a letter from Penelope asking him to help her get to the Rhodes train station. She and Beau plan to take the train to Boston to elope. It remains unclear where Penelope was during the attack on Braithwaite manor or if any of her family survived. Even stranger, it's also unclear why she chooses to reach out to Arthur Morgan , considering he and his friends are responsible for the death of her entire fam


The trio runs into a bit of trouble at the train station when Beau’s cousins attempt to stop them, though Arthur is able to save the day.
