8 Amazing Details You Didn't Know About #11 (Red Dead Redemption 2)

Keiran is such a great character... I wish he had lived till later in the story. I would have loved to see his take on the gangs fall. I think he would be loyal to Arthur over Dutch, for sure.

Kieran saying he'd give his life for Jack is just made more sad by the fact he dies after Jack is retuned to the camp.

It's all of these tiny details that make the world feel "lived in." RDR2 is the only game I've played where you feel like the world exists and carries on without you.

Kieran: I would've gladly given my lif- Bill: Hello Arthur!!!

I think it’s also cool to mention that Micah’s horse Baylock strikes an uncanny resemblance to the Dark Horse in RDR1, which you could only get through low honor. It only adds to the small hints of Micah being the antagonist.

Strange man is literally strange man, that's why he knows everything

I'm sure this is something a lot of people know but I'm also sure it's something many didn't know. In American Venom after Cleet is killed John swaps his cowboy hat for Arthurs black hat. This shows that he wanted his brother to be there with him spiritually and because he wanted to remind Micah of his sins. It also makes the moment where Arthur gives John his hat a more beautiful moment.

That whole thing with John and Javier, shows just how reactive and genuine the NPCs are to your actions or inactions.

The first detail with Arthurs hat, I'm actully a bit proud because I found it by myself and it was the first time I saw something that wasn't known or spoken about online. But yet again it shows how beautiful this "living and breathing" open world is.

The greatest game of all time! Its not simply a game but a life experience

I love the silent conversation John and Javier have like "John I'm gonna kill him" "Go right ahead my friend" "Alright"

That Javier and John detail was so funny lol, wish they had more moments like that

“Look at those balls” Last words he ever said.

A fun fact about why the m1899 ( or the FN Browning M1900) is so thin... Its a single stack magazine, which allows for easy reloading, and a much thinner profile. It also lets you slide that puppy in a breast pocket and have it basically be invisible.

6:45 I like how they went through the effort of making John and Javier argue over who was gonna KO the guy but didn't bother giving an animation to Javier putting the bandana on, it just spawns on his face lmao

kieran was such a great character, i wish we had more to do with him, more missions and that he be longer with us... the way they let him die was terrible, he didnt deserve to die like this 😔

I liked Kierans bond with Arthur. It was very nuanced, and in turn, pretty realistic. Arthur won't ever let go of Kieran's history as an O'Driscoll, inasmuch as he also won't let go of the fact that Kieran had saved his life. So they had a weird relationship where Arthur maintains gang hostility whilst also opening his friendship in a covert, macho way. Still busting his balls about being an O'Driscoll and scaring him, at the same time willing to take time to go fishing and help him gather ingredients for his love of horses. Even the gang appreciated him, being a facet for Dutch and Sadie's intentions of wiping out Colm towards the end despite the inherent risks.

Respect to my boy Kieran😞

Found an unknown thing. In valentine sometimes a drunk challenges you to a duel. He usually passes out but if you go back to the saloon the bartender mentions it. He says the dudes name is Reginald Lewis and he challenged every gunbelt he saw in town. Have never seen/encountered this short conversation before, though it worth a mention

i don't know if you've already covered this but when looking for john up in the mountains you can see that John had a custom saddle with his initials
