When the main chapters of Red Dead ’s story pass into the epilogues and John takes the reins for the rest of the game, he has Arthur’s journal. Arthur gave John his satchel and it inspires the rugged and stubborn to-be-rancher to express himself. John has a difficult time opening up to those he truly loves, Abigail and Jack, and expressing emotions doesn’t come easily to him. But through Arthur’s life and death, John begins to learn how to speak what’s not only on his mind, but etched on his heart.

While riding on your horse through the expansive wilderness, you obviously must have noticed the day/night cycle that takes place. However, only an extremely observant eye will have noticed that the moon follows the lunar cycle as w

But it turns out that the choices you make for Arthur affect his eventual fate – in other words, giving him a high or low honor score matters. This is different from the first RDR in which this feature didn’t seem to matter too much. Whether you played honorably or not, it didn’t affect the outcome of the g

The codes in Red Dead Redemption and its sequel are infamous for not being aids to get ahead- when enacted, goals and missions disappear. So while they’re no good for getting ahead or completing side missions, they can be a whole lot of fun. Whether its a code to create a circus tent in place of your caravan or something as pragmatic and sensible as creating a buggy out of thin air- there’s an entire directory of every one discovered thus far. And as for that buggy, the code is Create A Buggy. If only finding housing was that easy in real l

Events that players took part in get written about, and it's interesting to read about them from a remote perspective. It is also a testament to the amount of detail developers put in this game if they said have dynamic newspap

It’s not exactly unbelievable or bizarre, even if it is literally out of this world. This odd natural occurrence is a part of the world if you head to the most northern point in Roanoke Valley. It’s a point of interest in New Hanover, and discovering it takes you along a path to encounter other ancient remnants of a bygone world. You’re not just sightseeing - players can collect the meteorites and there’s definitely more than just one waiting to be snatched up. It’s debated whether there’s a mystery third meteorite out there, or just a glitch that happens to piquing everyone’s inter

It’s not only Arthur’s hairstyle and clothes that you get to control, but his entire appearance. Depending on how you treat him in the game, it will impact whether he ages gracefully or, well, not so gracefu

Sphincter sirens are a normal part of everyday life, so when they are included in a video game, they make the world feel ten times more real. Who would have thought that passing gas could be used so precisely and elegan

Now, that's everything the leak says in terms of gameplay information, but the original poster went into detail on the actual development status back in mid-2016 and it's weird to see what kind of state the game and its team were in before Red Dead Redemption 2 's official announcement.

These epilogues and the rest of your time in the game end up being a taste of the life fans of the series have wished for from John's story. It’s a small taste of peace and happiness before the cycle begins anew from what we saw in the original Red Dead Redemption . Arthur’s journal being passed to John helps facilitate this all-too-brief period of happiness in his life.

After Arthur Morgan either dies of tuberculosis or gets shot/stabbed by Micah Bell, depending on your ending, you swap to playing as John Marston with his family; or, as the leaker puts it, "jon marsten." As the poster originally described at the time:

Later, I learned that wearing my bandana actually shortens the time on the "Wanted" meter. For those who don't know, the Wanted meter appears after lawmen have identified a crime and are searching for the culprit. Low honor players know exactly what I'm talking ab
