This side quest in Red Dead Redemption 2 includes a treasure. According to Prodigy Gamers , this is one of the Stranger missions that will result in two bars of gold that put $1000 in your pocket. Follow RDR2's map to the southern corner, pass by the Flatneck Station, and head toward the Dakota River. You should come across a man named Máximo Cristóbal Valdespino, who will sell his treasure map to you for only $10. It's not such a steep price when you can end up with $1000 from the gold bars that you can find using the map. The gold bars can give you enough funds to upgrade your camp.


John is not without his downsides, however. Because the sequel is much larger and robust than its predecessor, John has less to do in his own game. This is completely remedied in Red Dead Redemption 2 once the player takes control of John, but for the majority of a player's time with the character they just have less options. In a series made to display every aspect of a cowboy's life, John's game fails to deliver in the more mundanely detailed challenges of the Old W


In the end, Arthur has a wider variety of Old West activities for the player to engage in when living out that cowboy fantasy. He isn't pigeon-holed by the narrative into being a morally justified character, and the player has more ability to customize him to fulfill any Old West fantasy they choose. They can be heroic gunman or a mountain-dwelling survivalist like Jeremiah Johnson. He is simply more versat


John's story also provides less incentive for the player to do some of these activities. In both games, John is trying his best to be a reformed outlaw-turned-family-man. Assuming the player is in a mood to have a conscience, robbing strangers and heisting the local bank is less attractive of an activity. They become especially unattractive when both games track the player's honor level. It's harder to be no-good when you can see just how bad you really


The leader of the Van der Linde gang and Arthur's surrogate father, Dutch begins Red Dead Redemption 2 locations Dead Redemption 2 as a likable and trustworthy man, one who clearly puts his gang first and fights for what he believes is right. Even when Dutch does do unexpected things, such as putting the gang at risk to help Eagle Flies, it is ideologically consistent with his belief in a free country for all. As the gang becomes more desperate, however, Dutch seemingly stops putting the group first, leaving people behind and trusting people like Micah for advice . When Dutch eventually turns on Arthur and John, it demonstrates just how unstable he had actually bec


The open world is predominantly what earns the game a spot among other historically accurate releases. It offers players an incredible rendition of post-WWII Los Angles that encapsulates what the 1940s city would have looked l


The main problem with selecting the superior Red Dead protagonist is that both of them share similar values as characters while serving similar roles within their stories. Both John and Arthur are motivated by their sense of loyalty and responsibility to a family, and as rough-cut, grit-lined cowboys it's their job to use whatever means necessary to secure their family's well being. They're cut from the same cloth, and it's pretty clear that this was an intentional decision from Rockstar, as John Marston and Arthur Morgan each serve as members of the same family for much of their lives. As such, they even influence each others' characterization throughout the games. In the end, if a person likes one of them, there's a good chance they'll feel a similar way about the ot


After missions and random events, Arthur will often jot down a few thoughts in his journal. While Arthur might narrate some of these moments, there are entire pieces of written content that are never heard, so if players don’t go back and read his journal, they’re missing check out this blog post via Strikez.awardspace.info on some beautiful thoughts from Arthur , along with his artistic tale


John, however, is much more effective at fulfilling one specific archetypal role within Western fiction, meaning that though Arthur serves a wider variety of purposes, John Marston is still superior depending on who is making the decision. Subjectivity, then, cannot be entirely excluded from the situation. However, if one had to recommend one of **Red Dead Redemption ** 's __ two protagonists under the pretense that they might fulfill a particular fantasy, then the safest recommendation would be for Arthur. His versatility means that even if a player wants to be a good cowboy or The Man With No Name, then Arthur can still fill that role for them. He may not be able to do it as well as John, but the player will still leave the game feeling as if their Western fantasies had been fulfil


Like any game developed by Rockstar, there were a ton of expectations on L.A. Noire 's shoulders prior to its initial 2011 release. Early trailers for the game intrigued players with its combination of a quincuncial Rockstar open-world and innovative detective mechan
