John Marston: An Honorable Man In A Wild World
John Marston is many things to many different people, including himself. To some, he was a vicious outlaw; to others, a desperate family man who would do anything to return to those he loved. To me, he was and will always be an honorable man in a dishonorable wo
Not only does this detail take a second playthrough to spot, but an eagle eye is required too. In chapter one, when the gang is heading to do the first train robbery , it's possible to catch a glimpse of Micah's hideout from the end of the g
However, what players very likely don't encounter is that same weather turning against them, as it is possible to get struck by lightning in the game. And much like in real life, it's a very rare occurrence. Naturally, though, the more time players spend in the game, the more likely it is to hap
Committing a crime is not an outside area for young Arthur Morgan. He was born in 1863 in a family of an outlaw, and he lost his mother during the labor. His father, Lyle, was once arrested for theft in 1874 but died at some point later. Although the two had a turbulent father-and-son relationship, Arthur still kept a picture of him next to his resting bed and wore his
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a tragic story of how far someone can lead a group of lost souls into their inevitable fate. After a robbery-gone-wrong in Blackwater, charismatic leader Dutch van der Linde promised his gang to lay low, only to find themselves trapped in the criminal world again and ag
However, it's not too long after we see the honorable man John is under all of his shortcomings. He is rescued and nursed back to health by Bonnie MacFarlane, a fierce and proud rancher, and John goes out of his way to repay his debt to her and her fam
West of Manteca Falls and south Stillwater Creek, Arthur may spot the legendary takana bison. This bison is not aggressive or fearful when seen out until shot at. Just make sure to down it before it runs off after releasing the first round.

Despite the risk involved, to both his wellbeing and that of his family, John offers each of his former compatriots the chance to surrender. He knows them better than he knows himself and, as such, harbors no illusions that they will come quietly. Yet he still extends the olive branch to those he once called fri
In rdr2 Bloodhound , Arthur and John can interact with virtually every NPC. Although, the ones they probably talk to the most are the shopkeepers. And if those conversations don't go well, players can choose to inflict punishment on the poor business own
If Dutch was the gang's father figure, then Susan Grimshaw was the mother. Along with Arthur & Hosea Matthews , Ms. Grimshaw was one of the gang's original members in the early days. Before joining the gang, she had a romantic relationship with an unnamed fiancé, who eventually passed away la
Just south of Mattock Pond players can find the legendary fox. Much like the coyote, the fox requires a stealthy approach as it is quickly and easily spooked. Quick and clean shots while sneaking through the bushes will give Arthur the best opportunity to down this majestic creature.

These creatures can be found after completing chapter six in the game, so players should not look further into this article if they don't want to be spoiled on new areas of the game they have not yet reac
Not everything in the Red Dead Redemption 2 world is there from the start. Certain train tracks and buildings are under construction in the early days of the story. Players can even go to the locations to see people working on t
On a mission titled Savagery Unleashed from the Guarma chapter, Arthur was trying to save Guarman workers from getting hanged before he was knocked unconscious by Angel, his captor, and Alberto Fussar's lead inquisitor. Then, he woke up with his hands tied but managed to set himself free while Angel was occupied with Leon and Bapti
Now, I am not saying that John Marston would be considered honorable in our world, though some of the world's most celebrated heroes have blood on their hands, merely that he is an honorable man in the world in which he lives. At least he was in my playthrough. Although anything he may have done while wearing a bandanna surely has no impact on his honor, ri
In fact, it is one of the most honorable things we can do, to strive to be better than the darkest parts of our nature. In many ways, John's life is better summed up by the final epitaph written on his grave. Blessed are the Peacekeepers, for they will be called sons of
On the second playthrough, though, they know that there is still a lot of the game left once Arthur perishes. So, they're more inclined to search around the world a bit. And they should, as there are multiple hidden interactions to find as John. Players can locate and talk to the likes of Tilly (in Saint Denis near the tailor shop), Mary-Beth (train station in Valentine), and more, to see how they're do
