Molly O’Shea is Dutch’s lover throughout the story. She ends up spending most of the game streaming just lusting over Dutch. Since Dutch constantly ignores her, Molly ends up becoming very irritating with her constant complai It is still unclear why Molly did what she did to earn herself a hole through the chest via shotgun. If she didn't squeal to the Pinkertons, then why did she claim to do so? Perhaps it was her idea of getting back at Dutch in a drunken r Look, I get it. GTA Online is a milestone in online multiplayer gaming. It gives you unparalleled action, an incredible amount of game types, and the creative freedom to come up with some pretty spectacular moments of gameplay. It has been running strong for nearly six years now, and new content is still being added all of the time. Despite all of this, online gameplay is not Rockstar 's best s The dialogue in this game is top notch, even when juxtaposed with prior Rockstar Games projects. The characters feel like real people and less like larger-than-life cartoons from titles like GTA V . With that being said, several phrases are repeated several times too many, to the point where they start sticking out. Arthur and Dutch like saying "bad business" in reference to deals or any meeting they find fishy. It's almost like the catchphrase for the entire g This aspect connects to the same idea as the lack of a heads-up display. The spirit of Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't progression. It's the experience. Whatever that means to the player. In other open-world games, there is a desire for completion. There are quests, collectibles, achievements, and a myriad of other things to finish. Rockstar doesn't want you to complete their game. They want you to live in it. If you're completing something, then you're also moving on to the next thing. But Red Dead Redemption 2 is asking you to stay. So it's not going to help you finish anything. Figure it out on your In the game's bid for realism, Arthur's hair, both on his scalp and face, grows throughout gameplay. As days and nights pass, his head gets progressively hairier, to the point where he looks like he's been living in a cave for years. It certainly adds to the immersion, but it's also pretty funny to see him show up with a beard and long locks after a time jump. Fortunately, barbers are never too far away to make him more presentable, if that's what the player wa I don't think those are the main issues, but I feel like their presence in tandem with the poor reception of Red Dead Online has a lot to do with the game's relative silence. I was among the few who were excited beyond belief to relive my own childhood: the allure of being a bandit once again with my pals online was too much to bear. But, upon arrival, I immediately felt Red Dead Online was lacking in a multitude of facets. With all these varying intentions converging, Red Dead Redemption 2 became an out-of-place mixture that couldn't tell the difference between complicated and simplicity. Intending on making the game feel as real as possible, Rockstar also made it far too and time-consuming and complex to do anyth Dutch makes the top of the list because there is still so much sadness and confusion in his character. He is irredeemable by Red Dead Redemption , but it forever remains unclear what made him snap in the first place. Was it the pressure of his fading outlaw lifestyle? Was it the head injury he sustained during the first botched Saint Denis bank robbery? Perhaps he was always evil and selfish and no one noticed until his survival instinct negatively affected them. He had to be put down, but everyone involved wished some other alternative was availa Lenny was a good man who fell into some bad luck. His father was murdered and he was forced to go on the run after enacting swift vengeance. He was always a good friend to Arthur, and probably would have made the right choice if he had lived to see the gang's downf Arthur Morgan's arc was unlike anything gaming had ever seen. Maybe a few characters had gone through complex changes over the course of several games in a series, but Arthur's starts and finishes in one epic ti He's an undeniably bad person at the start of RDR2 , who eventually does what he can to make things right upon learning of his fatal diagnosis. Maybe he could never fully redeem himself, but his sacrifice gave John Marston a second cha Some games free the player of responsibility. Killing someone might not have any consequences. An evil act may go unpunished. If there aren't any witnesses, then it doesn't matter. That moral vacuity doesn't translate well in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 . What you choose will affect you as the game develops. One decision early on will bear fruit or consequences, depending on what you've done. And the decision to help those around you or to forego a killing blow might influence how people respond to 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
