I like the idea that the "leader" was actually just annoying to the rest of the gang. So they gave him a fort outside of their territory just to get him away from them.
You can find a civil war hardee hat in the basement of the fort and a letter from a general who was presumably killed by Confederate soldiers who launched a successful attack on the fort
Honestly it’s not a bad idea as the fort is abandoned so not much people will snoop arround and it’s in a different state so they can evade the law in lemoyne as they don’t have jurisdiction over the area and it is a good hide away also it only has one enterance so they can easily take out any bounty hunters after them especially since they have a machine gun there
I love how each gang has some sort of flaw that the Van Der Linde gang has but exaggerated. The Lemoyne Raiders fight for a cause that just doesn't work in the modern world, the Skinner Brothers are as Charles puts it, "Angry men on a rampage," the O'driscolls are basically the way Micah turns the gang, and the Del Lobos have an odd sense of comradery against a man that embodies injustice to them. The Murfree Brood are also a demented group that sticks together because of familial bonds. And if we take Angelo Bronte as well, he misleads his lackeys by giving them what they need, like how Dutch "saved" many of the members of the gang.

Yeah I only discovered about it today. The first guy inside the house downstairs gets his gun jammed, then tries to fist fight you, the second guy upstairs, on the left of the stairs, if you enter his room, pulls out a knife and tries to kill you. And the third guy shoots himself, but everyone knows about that one.
I always liked to imagine that the first guys revolver didn't jam but just wasn't even loaded or the round in that particular spot had already been fired.
7:47 After he was done with that impressive speech, I tossed a stick of dynamite directly in the middle of them, they screamed in terror and all blew up in all directions, killing them instantly, and Arthur said something like, “Ain’t not tales to tell this time.” I laughed so hard but almost felt bad. That guy describing blowing up in the past. 😂
Just did the Lindsay Woffard mission. In chapter 4. Arthur mentions to woffard how he’s staying in shady belle, on the horse ride back to the police station. Woffard then states “your the ones who took the belle?” (Or something to that effect) Then follows with a slew of insults. So by that I would say he’s clearly connected or has good ties with the raiders down south. Figured I’d mention it as the video doesn’t. For any of those who care.
One thing I really like about the Lemoyne raiders that you brushed on was how they parallel the Van der Linde gang in some ways. In the raiders' case, at least to me, they reflect something like Dutch's high-falutin rhetoric about American freedom and opportunity and how that view rubs off on the gang. There's the obvious difference that the raiders are bushwhackers -- ex-Confederate outlaws still fighting the Civil War -- and it is interesting to note that Dutch would personally dislike the comparison since "daddy died on a Pennsylvania field" fighting Southerners, implicitly Gettysburg, but there's still that talk about how "something's only lost if you let it be" and misguided notions of self-sovereignty. It dovetails nicely with how you see Dutch still trying to hold on to that outlaw life even when they betray the spirit of that in the prologue by heading east "towards all that civilization". Also, tangentially, there's this interesting generational gap you're seeing with the raiders. There's the original raiders, the ones from the 3rd Lemoyne and the ones that would have been around when that newspaper mentions how they used to be seen as sort of heroes, and the younger men. That scene where a younger raider shoots the hostage police officer for "disrespecting the cause" to the disapproval of two of the older raiders who wanted to ransom him -- it shows how the times are changing with the rebel remnants evolving into essentially a Lost Cause gang, but it also brings to mind how Dutch's gang is partly kept together by there being a vision for the future and a moral justification for what they are doing.
About your second point, I didn t really see it that way. In my opinion, the 2 senior Lemoyne raiders wanted to keep the police officer alive because a ransom can fetch high, and thus provide funding for the gang to survive or gain in power. By being too idealistic, the Junior Lemoyne ruined their chances. It's quite intriguing to me. You'd think their stubborn kind would have been proud to see that their code stuck so perfectly to a young fellow. But it s the opposite. The older members prefer to think long term
@@rinzler1801 What's wrong with it is that it's not a real thing. Everyone who wants "self-sovereignty" also wants to govern others and not let others be self-sovereign.

@@mapleflag6518Yes but also some lawman themselves could have still felt bad being on the losing side. Not as bad as to join the raiders but also not as good to stop their deeds of resistance
@@degamegang8262 Yeah but It not make sense when It passed 30 or 40 years between the civil war and The year 1899 during the Game so its pretty weird that The law don't fight The Riders ASAP
The Lemoyne Raiders keep ambushing me every single 5 minutes im in Lemoyne especially that one bridge where the train passes, its impossible to hang around lemoyne without a army of raiders just blasting you with their repeaters, there one of the reasons why i do not like being in Lemoyne lol
One of my favorite camp events in the game is Tilly telling Arthur, that she doesn't feel good so deep in the south, Arthur at first acts like he doesn't know what she means, until she says something along the lines of "come on Arthur, I'm a neg*o" Which then Arthur drops the act and says she doesn't have to worry, cause they take care of her
Assuming the civil war ended in 1865 in the world of RDR, then it would have ended 35 years previous to him telling his story. He looks like he could be anywhere from 40-60? So maybe he was in his early or mid 20s, if he is around 60, which is pretty young for someone apparently fist fighting a bunch of other soldiers. Whatever the math says though, it sounds like an exaggerated story, a young solider blown into the sky and winning a fist fight against a bunch of soldiers in the middle of a battlefield...
@@tigerburn81 The last confirmed "soldier" of the American Civil War died in 1956, he lived to the age of 106 - he served as a drummer boy and his regiment never saw combat. The last confirmed veteran of the Civil War who saw combat died in 1953, James Hard lied about his age to join the Union Army in 1861 and fought through the First Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. He lived to the age of 109. ' A veteran recounting his story in 1899, not even 40 years after the war, is definitely not a case of "too much time had passed" - it helped set the foundation of the Lemoyne Raiders, making them that much more insane for clinging to the cause of a state and the institution of slavery that ended decades ago.
I mean, Confederate Civil War vets were still around doing things as late as the 1920s, because some of them WERE just boys in the 1860s. Boys as young as 14 fought in the Civil War.
Also the spanish in Guarma which isn't even near to Cuban accent because the voice actors are obviously Mexicans and they have some weird generic dialogues Same for most of the Del Lobo guys, specially the one you capture with Sadie in the Epilogue
Always thought it was weird how there was such a big downgrade in the quality of the Spanish dialogue in this game vs the first one. But also the Cantonese and Creole heard in Saint Denis are super legit? It's weird
@@nousername2942 I played through the first again recently and honestly other than Reyes I didn’t think any of the deliveries were awful. I live in a city with a lot of Mexican immigrants, the VA sounds like they cast people who speak English as a second language which is perfect. Not sure where they went wrong in the sequel. As someone already stated the Del Lobos are laughably bad as well. Maybe they didn’t care as much because there’s far fewer Latino characters in the game?
I'm pretty sure it's because it's a character who's pretending to be french LOL. He doesn't sound french at all, and you can hear the leaking of his original accent through his lines. I'd say his voice actor actually did a great job, I can only imagine it's difficult to voice a voice that's pretending to be... a different voice LOL

@@zackkilgore528 yeah Jesse James was in a group called Quantrills Raiders after the war, which was a confederate sympathizers group that targeted former Union supporters and anyone else who got in their way in the South. I’m fairly certain that the Lemoyne Raiders is heavily inspired by them.
I can remember when I captured Lindsey Wofford, I tied him up and threw him on my horse, but as soon as I left the fort I did get his cronies try to save him, they also tried saving him the last time I played it through so I think it's random whether or not they try rescuing Wofford
@@markmagician2471 Not every bounty will. Some of the bounties that are gang members usually do have rescue attempts, but sometimes they don't, plus not all the bounties are for gang members

@@Mercury29477 I've not had that happen at all. I think it just goes to show how impressive the game is because it seems there are multiple ways even the simplest of missions can play out 👍

I accidentally killed both bounties trying to capture them and while taking Lindsey Wofford’s body to Saint Denis, I did have a couple raiders try to stop me. Weird that it doesn’t happen if he’s taken alive.
It happens if he’s alive as well. I played through it yesterday, as long as you are following the yellow line on the compass when bringing him to Saint Dennis, some two or three bounty hunters or raiders will always appear. Let me double check if they were bounty hunters or raiders.
@@amqru lol I remember last time I did the bounty I never even got stopped by them since I rode so fast but I did see them following me and I did pop a horse stimulant on the ride
In terms of story it would be an absolute banger though I’m not sure it’d be as fun gameplay wise as they only had single shot rifles, the carbine and Henry repeaters, and a handful of revolvers back then
5:51 I remember encountering this on my second play thru and listening to the dialogue thru and thru. Was quite fascinating honestly, and it amazes me how down to every last npc the voice acting in this game is just top notch. Even though this dude was some crazy scumbag I really felt like i was sitting there being told a war story... Until the end anyway I think he was just gassin himself up lmfao
The name in that letter you found, “William Marcus Anderson” might be a reference to the Real life Figure William “Bloody Bill” Andersen who was a bushwhacker during Bleeding Kansas, riding with a group called “Quantrill’s Raiders” who were the perpetrators of the Lawrence, Kansas Massacre. I love how they add in these small details that get over looked especially if you don’t have much knowledge of the History of Missouri and Kansas or even the Guerrilla warfare that took place between the two states.

Thanks again for your help moving my fridge freezer fizhy mate appreciate it and remember pokemon legends is coming out on the 28th of this month Roadhouse
As John I had an encounter with the Raiders outside of the tavern in Rhodes. Apparently there was a raider yelling and belittling a friend of his who he served with in the War. The friend became a member of society and chastised the raider for living in the past.
I'm on my second playthrough chapter 2 and last night I kept running into these guys everywhere. I love taking out the rival gangs in this game, especially when you can sneak up on them at a campfire and toss some dynamite at em.
When you get to the encounter where the veteran recalls the battle at copperhead landing I threw a dynamite stick into their camp right after he describes the "boom" sound from the artillery
It’s actually incredible how Rockstar went into making these detailed animations for the camp encounters. A lot of people would just go into the camp & kill everyone without even thinking.
I do like that the leader of the leymone raiders is in a old captured Northern fort with a letter from a general killed by confederate soldiers. Really adds to the disenfranchised and "the south will rise again"feel of the old confederate states
I get my RD fix from your videos. They are all top notch! Thank you so much for the time and hard work you put in to reveal the nuances of this masterpiece to us again! You have a true gift of putting a storyline together seamlessly. Thanks again

R* did a great job when it came to their take on the civil war. Although the views of the South has problems that are very clear in todays age, that doesn't mean that every Northerner was good and every Southerner was bad. Best example is the 2 homeless vets from Valentine and Rhodes. The Union vet turned out to be devious and shady as we found out more. But the Confederate vet turned out to be a genuine and honest person. I'm English so I don't know too much about the civil war, but i was still able to appreciate this detail
That, and a lot of the anti Southern bile came from the villainous Dutch. Though of course that's understandable as his father was killed at Gettysburg. I also appreciate the fact that the Murfee Brood, a gang of feral, inbred hill people were located far in the north. That's a very typical southern stereotype here in America.
What if after the Shady Belle takeover The Raiders Fragmented but old members make new gangs and they still call themselves the LR plus weaker gang take that title/name to seem more of a threat Makes sense to call myself a member of something that people already fears.Thus making the raiders seem a little clustered and flustered So technically there could be half a dozen gangs with each a different "leader" like the guy at the fort that does not get mention after the bounty mission Maybe he was a small fry gang leader using a fake Raider member Like it's not to be a LR -no tax ever, hate every thing different then what you are told, get yellow thingy - Great Video Fizhy , make a list of your favorite interactions in the RDR2 there's never too rdr2 content
I love the absolute power move of you taking on these gangs and bounties with the Bow. Just tanking their gunshots and countering by putting an arrow or two in them.
I actually took out their leader in chapter 2, so my personal headcanon was that Arthur had mostly just kinda forgot about them by chapter 3 because they're just such a joke in his eyes.
Man every time I play or watch someone else play RDR2... It just amazes me with the sights and sounds. 2018 was 4 years ago (not really that long ago) but nonetheless just amazing graphics. 21:16 Lmao that caught me off-guard
Lemoyne Raiders remind me of the rag tag confederate militias that continued on fighting after the war was initially over. They were either killed off or chased away by union patrols heading southwest.
What I had taken from Red Dead Redemption 2's story and charachters is that good and bad isn't so black and white, and entirely dependant on perspective Just about every thing in the game is an example of or result of the dynamic nature of morality. The whole honor system in the game is kinda indicative of that. You aren't encouraged or discouraged to play a certain way, other than the public's perception of you, and the pride or guilt you feel after making a decision. And the game does a good job of making a player invested in the story and charachters so they do feel good or bad about their actions. You are forced to do bad things to protect your people or just to survive, and then often, later you are shown the results of those choices. You justify them the same way the corrupt sherrif or the lemoyne raiders do. You did it for the good of your tribe.
I agree to a certain extent. I love that the karma system kinda just exists, you aren't really rewarded or punished depending on any choices you make. It only fails for me when you get to the end, as they go against all of that and punish you by having the main antagonist of the game murder you because you didn't make the right choices. Feels like a missed opportunity to do something different. I remember reading somewhere (this may not even be true so don't quote me on it, just think it's a cool idea) that the epilogue of the game would be different depending on your karma, so to better match your specific playstyle. Good karma had you playing as John, building the ranch and getting the family back as we see in the base game. But for bad karma, you'd play as Dutch, descending further into insanity whilst building the gang of Native Americans we see him within the first game, robbing banks and raising hell with them. The mentality was to reward the player regardless of their playstyle by giving them whichever ending best matches their choices. Again, may not even be true but it would've been cool to see it implemented. As is though I still think the karma system is pretty solid, certainly more so than in the first game where it really didn't matter what you did.
I will have to play through again and find out. I pretty much have neutral honor the whole game til the end, then it gives you all those opportunities to repair your honor with good deeds so that no matter how gnarly you been, you can still get the "good" ending. I kinda wanted to go full villian next time anyways. I never achieved all the bandit challenges cus I never really did stick-ups and coach robberies. After the Valentine bank roberry, Arthur is balling and you never really need money again. Especially if you find a few treasures.
Love that red dead is so deep you can make an hour long video about a faction that your only interaction with is through in game player controlled action. No cinematic necessary. Open world world-building is a tricky thing to nail and although I hesitate to ever say anything is perfect. It's close, real close.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing because obviously I had just recently subscribed due to these in depth videos but it is actually awesome that this game is so huge that it can be milked for content years after release. Great Videos.
Especially because recent years have seen a lot of big game companies go downhill in the level of thought, effort, detail, and ultimately “love” they put into later series titles. Like Battlefield 2042 recently.
Man watching Fizhy's videos makes me realize I missed a lot of single player content when I did my 100% playthrough. Goes to show how much content in the game isn't on the map or any checklists.
Only problem with that would be is the fact that they reference real world locations in game, such as New York, Baltimore, and Chicago. So like are those states real in this otherwise fictional universe or in the case of Baltimore and Chicago are the cities real but the states they reside in fictional. I know I’m reading way to much into this fictitious world, but it would seem inconsistent and weird to see that on a map
@@xannymanny9754 the way I think of it is Red Dead’s states exist in addition to the real states, however that works geographically. Where exactly that places them I have no idea.
I ambush them as early as chapter 2 and attack the house many times even though door is locked at shady belle. It more fun for me because they will try to ambush me many times with Gatlin guns on wagons or bridges on horseback.
I think you know a game is good when someone can make an hour long analysis on the history of a gang that the developers created just so that you can have a few extra heads to put bullets in

Lindsay wofford was the commander of the Lemoyne Raiders so yes he had a good relationship with them
One thing I really like about the Lemoyne raiders that you brushed on was how they parallel the Van der Linde gang in some ways. In the raiders' case, at least to me, they reflect something like Dutch's high-falutin rhetoric about American freedom and opportunity and how that view rubs off on the gang. There's the obvious difference that the raiders are bushwhackers -- ex-Confederate outlaws still fighting the Civil War -- and it is interesting to note that Dutch would personally dislike the comparison since "daddy died on a Pennsylvania field" fighting Southerners, implicitly Gettysburg, but there's still that talk about how "something's only lost if you let it be" and misguided notions of self-sovereignty. It dovetails nicely with how you see Dutch still trying to hold on to that outlaw life even when they betray the spirit of that in the prologue by heading east "towards all that civilization".
Also, tangentially, there's this interesting generational gap you're seeing with the raiders. There's the original raiders, the ones from the 3rd Lemoyne and the ones that would have been around when that newspaper mentions how they used to be seen as sort of heroes, and the younger men. That scene where a younger raider shoots the hostage police officer for "disrespecting the cause" to the disapproval of two of the older raiders who wanted to ransom him -- it shows how the times are changing with the rebel remnants evolving into essentially a Lost Cause gang, but it also brings to mind how Dutch's gang is partly kept together by there being a vision for the future and a moral justification for what they are doing.
About your second point, I didn t really see it that way. In my opinion, the 2 senior Lemoyne raiders wanted to keep the police officer alive because a ransom can fetch high, and thus provide funding for the gang to survive or gain in power. By being too idealistic, the Junior Lemoyne ruined their chances. It's quite intriguing to me. You'd think their stubborn kind would have been proud to see that their code stuck so perfectly to a young fellow. But it s the opposite. The older members prefer to think long term

The law enforcement probably doesn’t really care about the Raiders and views them as a nuisance rather than an actual threat.

that "Old-Timer" retelling his story would've been no more than a Boy during the time.
Assuming the civil war ended in 1865 in the world of RDR, then it would have ended 35 years previous to him telling his story.
He looks like he could be anywhere from 40-60? So maybe he was in his early or mid 20s, if he is around 60, which is pretty young for someone apparently fist fighting a bunch of other soldiers.
Whatever the math says though, it sounds like an exaggerated story, a young solider blown into the sky and winning a fist fight against a bunch of soldiers in the middle of a battlefield...
Yeah, it seems that Rockstar definitely wanted a Civil War/Lost Cause connection in the game but way too much time had passed for the setting.
If he was 20 in 1865 that meand that he is 54 while telling the story. Perfectly reasonable.
@@tigerburn81 The last confirmed "soldier" of the American Civil War died in 1956, he lived to the age of 106 - he served as a drummer boy and his regiment never saw combat. The last confirmed veteran of the Civil War who saw combat died in 1953, James Hard lied about his age to join the Union Army in 1861 and fought through the First Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. He lived to the age of 109.
'
A veteran recounting his story in 1899, not even 40 years after the war, is definitely not a case of "too much time had passed" - it helped set the foundation of the Lemoyne Raiders, making them that much more insane for clinging to the cause of a state and the institution of slavery that ended decades ago.
I mean, Confederate Civil War vets were still around doing things as late as the 1920s, because some of them WERE just boys in the 1860s. Boys as young as 14 fought in the Civil War.
RDR2 has some of the best voice acting performances ever given, unfortunately Camille sounds like they pulled him out of an early PS2 game
Also the spanish in Guarma which isn't even near to Cuban accent because the voice actors are obviously Mexicans and they have some weird generic dialogues
Same for most of the Del Lobo guys, specially the one you capture with Sadie in the Epilogue
And Robbie Laidlaw, the supposed Scotsman who just sounds like he's doing his best Demoman impression
Always thought it was weird how there was such a big downgrade in the quality of the Spanish dialogue in this game vs the first one. But also the Cantonese and Creole heard in Saint Denis are super legit? It's weird
@@nousername2942 I played through the first again recently and honestly other than Reyes I didn’t think any of the deliveries were awful. I live in a city with a lot of Mexican immigrants, the VA sounds like they cast people who speak English as a second language which is perfect. Not sure where they went wrong in the sequel. As someone already stated the Del Lobos are laughably bad as well. Maybe they didn’t care as much because there’s far fewer Latino characters in the game?
I'm pretty sure it's because it's a character who's pretending to be french LOL. He doesn't sound french at all, and you can hear the leaking of his original accent through his lines. I'd say his voice actor actually did a great job, I can only imagine it's difficult to voice a voice that's pretending to be... a different voice LOL

@@ashmyblunt maybe, that’ll certainly make sense
I can remember when I captured Lindsey Wofford, I tied him up and threw him on my horse, but as soon as I left the fort I did get his cronies try to save him, they also tried saving him the last time I played it through so I think it's random whether or not they try rescuing Wofford

These videos are sick. Helped me start playing RDR2 again!
We're blessed tonight with this long one lads
The amount of detail just in listening to the gangs alone is truly astonishing
The name in that letter you found, “William Marcus Anderson” might be a reference to the Real life Figure William “Bloody Bill” Andersen who was a bushwhacker during Bleeding Kansas, riding with a group called “Quantrill’s Raiders” who were the perpetrators of the Lawrence, Kansas Massacre. I love how they add in these small details that get over looked especially if you don’t have much knowledge of the History of Missouri and Kansas or even the Guerrilla warfare that took place between the two states.
I don't know if you know this but if you capture him in chapter 4 he references the fact that you took over Shady Belle

I guess you could say, the Lemoyne Raiders were a 'Lost Cause'
Like Arthur Morgan says "there a bunch of children playing soldiers."
As John I had an encounter with the Raiders outside of the tavern in Rhodes. Apparently there was a raider yelling and belittling a friend of his who he served with in the War. The friend became a member of society and chastised the raider for living in the past.
I'm on my second playthrough chapter 2 and last night I kept running into these guys everywhere. I love taking out the rival gangs in this game, especially when you can sneak up on them at a campfire and toss some dynamite at em.
When you get to the encounter where the veteran recalls the battle at copperhead landing I threw a dynamite stick into their camp right after he describes the "boom" sound from the artillery
It’s actually incredible how Rockstar went into making these detailed animations for the camp encounters. A lot of people would just go into the camp & kill everyone without even thinking.

If I wasn't a rdr fan, I would've assumed the Lemoyne Raiders were a fictional sports team
I do like that the leader of the leymone raiders is in a old captured Northern fort with a letter from a general killed by confederate soldiers. Really adds to the disenfranchised and "the south will rise again"feel of the old confederate states

47:26 The Lemoyne Raiders are an American Civil War version of the Japanese soldiers who thought World War II was still going on years after it ended.

R* did a great job when it came to their take on the civil war. Although the views of the South has problems that are very clear in todays age, that doesn't mean that every Northerner was good and every Southerner was bad.
Best example is the 2 homeless vets from Valentine and Rhodes. The Union vet turned out to be devious and shady as we found out more. But the Confederate vet turned out to be a genuine and honest person. I'm English so I don't know too much about the civil war, but i was still able to appreciate this detail
That, and a lot of the anti Southern bile came from the villainous Dutch. Though of course that's understandable as his father was killed at Gettysburg.
I also appreciate the fact that the Murfee Brood, a gang of feral, inbred hill people were located far in the north. That's a very typical southern stereotype here in America.

Makes sense to call myself a member of something that people already fears.Thus making the raiders seem a little clustered and flustered

21:16 Lmao that caught me off-guard
Lemoyne Raiders remind me of the rag tag confederate militias that continued on fighting after the war was initially over. They were either killed off or chased away by union patrols heading southwest.
I mean that’s what they are based off of.
The intricacies of the gang system in RDR2 exemplifies how deep and detailed the game is.
What I had taken from Red Dead Redemption 2's story and charachters is that good and bad isn't so black and white, and entirely dependant on perspective Just about every thing in the game is an example of or result of the dynamic nature of morality. The whole honor system in the game is kinda indicative of that. You aren't encouraged or discouraged to play a certain way, other than the public's perception of you, and the pride or guilt you feel after making a decision. And the game does a good job of making a player invested in the story and charachters so they do feel good or bad about their actions. You are forced to do bad things to protect your people or just to survive, and then often, later you are shown the results of those choices. You justify them the same way the corrupt sherrif or the lemoyne raiders do. You did it for the good of your tribe.
I agree to a certain extent. I love that the karma system kinda just exists, you aren't really rewarded or punished depending on any choices you make. It only fails for me when you get to the end, as they go against all of that and punish you by having the main antagonist of the game murder you because you didn't make the right choices. Feels like a missed opportunity to do something different.
I remember reading somewhere (this may not even be true so don't quote me on it, just think it's a cool idea) that the epilogue of the game would be different depending on your karma, so to better match your specific playstyle. Good karma had you playing as John, building the ranch and getting the family back as we see in the base game. But for bad karma, you'd play as Dutch, descending further into insanity whilst building the gang of Native Americans we see him within the first game, robbing banks and raising hell with them. The mentality was to reward the player regardless of their playstyle by giving them whichever ending best matches their choices. Again, may not even be true but it would've been cool to see it implemented. As is though I still think the karma system is pretty solid, certainly more so than in the first game where it really didn't matter what you did.
I will have to play through again and find out. I pretty much have neutral honor the whole game til the end, then it gives you all those opportunities to repair your honor with good deeds so that no matter how gnarly you been, you can still get the "good" ending.
I kinda wanted to go full villian next time anyways. I never achieved all the bandit challenges cus I never really did stick-ups and coach robberies. After the Valentine bank roberry, Arthur is balling and you never really need money again. Especially if you find a few treasures.
Love that red dead is so deep you can make an hour long video about a faction that your only interaction with is through in game player controlled action. No cinematic necessary. Open world world-building is a tricky thing to nail and although I hesitate to ever say anything is perfect. It's close, real close.
