Summary
ARed Dead Redemption 2player online has discovered a fascinating post-game interaction in the Epilogue, which many players might actually be ruled out from encountering. If this detail is intentional, it’s just another example of the massive level of detail found inRed Dead Redemption 2.
Ever since the launch ofRed Dead Redemption 2back in 2018, the game has developed a reputation for a remarkable level of detail. Every inch ofRed Dead Redemption 2is crammed with something new to discover, and players can still find something fresh every time they switch on the game. One player even discovered adetail about Dutch inRed Dead Redemption 2while modding, showing how this level of detail extends to the game’s underlying systems, too. It shows what a labor of loveRed Dead Redemption 2was, and it’s a big part of the reason why the game remains so popular almost six years after its initial release.
Redditor xignaceh shared their interaction with the game’s community online. While playing through theEpilogue ofRed Dead Redemption 2, the gamer decided to revisit Horseshoe Overlook, where the gang stays for a period earlier in the story. While there, they were slowly approached by a deer, which seemed to acknowledge John’s presence before leaving.
What makes this so fascinating is that forhigh-honorRed Dead Redemption 2players, Arthur Morgan’s animal is a deer. Other players in the thread reported seeing the exact same deer, but curiously, only on high-honor playthroughs. Redditor xignaceh confirmed that they themselves were also on a high-honor playthrough, leading many to theorize that this deer’s presence at Horseshoe Overlook is an intentional detail, included by Rockstar to symbolize Arthur’s passing. There were also several low-honor players in the thread, who couldn’t recall having the same interaction with a coyote in the same location.
With new details like this still being found inRed Dead Redemption 2, it’s no surprise that players are being made to wait for a sequel by Rockstar. Every fan of the series has their ownRed Dead Redemption 3wish list, but the developer remains silent about the possibility of a sequel for the time being. WithGrand Theft Auto 6in the latter stages of development and gearing up for a 2025 release, it makes sense. While it’s sad that players likely still face a long wait forRed Dead Redemption 3, its predecessor suggests that it’ll be well worth the wait.
