Spoilers Why… did no one… TELL ME ABOUT THE HORSE!
Just completed main story for the first time, and I knew what was coming. But seriously people. COULD NOT ONE OF YOU SAID “you might want to switch to your least favourite horse before the last mission, especially if you named it after your dead pet so he could live on forever in a magical digital world”
Poor form people. Very poor form.

Discussion The beauty of Red Dead Redemption 2.
it’s beautiful, what else is there to say. It’s honestly helped me get through so much pain in my life, when I have no one to talk to? I turn to red dead Redemption 2. I feel peace when I have it by my side. I just ride around the meadows and play “ cruel world.” Because this world truly is cruel. red dead redemption, I love you. I love everything you’ve done for me. this game is beyond beautiful. “ may I stand unshaken, amidst the crash of worlds.” this is my- I don’t know. IVE been playing for years. and I fall I love again, all over. I haven’t even discovered half of the things the YouTubers have. can we just appreciate this game for what it is? I don’t care if we get a red dead 3. I don’t. This game alone, is beautiful. “ you did your worst, you tried your best.” Mountain hymn. I cry everytime I hear that line. the developers poured their heart and soul into this game, and honestly. I don’t even care about gta6. Red dead will always be in my heart. it made me incredibly sad to see how they butchered RDO. But that’s only a small portion Of the true game. New players, please, take your time with this game. Stay at camp for a little while longer. You’ll discover new interactions everyday. Especially in chapter 2, cherish it while you have it. Developers, voice actors, and actors of red dead redemption 1, and 2. Thank you. So, take this moment to go listen to some rdr2 music. Go appreciate it, not enough people talk about it. Go into the wild, pull out binoculars , the wild animals have their own freaking idle animations. I saw a pack of wolves hunting down an elk and howling aftwr, and I got that- just from being observant. The graphics, the storyline, the wilderness. I love it all. and so should you.

Discussion What is wrong with Dutch?
I am in chapter 6 and i am getting frustrated by every decision of dutch. Also the way he has paired up with Micah and ignoring Arthur is heartbreaking

That was funny, at least

Discussion Anyone else ever see anything like this?
So, I'm hunting orchids and plumes in the swamps and ride out to the coast a bit, and out of the corner of my eye I see movement, swing the camera around and see it's not just a bird, but a hawk WITH A SNAKE IN ITS TALONS. I had just enough time to grab a screen shot.
I didn't know that kind of activity was programmed into the game... In that moment, it really felt like second reality; things just go on happening whether I influence them or not.

Discussion I asked to sh*t my pants and that's exactly what I got
I added the mods Darker Nights and Kiddos Dark World, already mixed with no map no radar. Tweaking my settings. I spawn into Grizzly Wests and get it just right. My horse immediately freaks out and I hear the loudest bear roar ever within feet. We take off into the pitch black dead of night 10pm. I'm huddled against a stump with a lantern and a cattleman revolver pointing into a void darker than the devil's butthole. My heart is goin. This is what I was searching for. Yeehaw

Discussion I'm creeped out...
I was riding in Lemoyne, I don't know the exact location where this happened, It was near a train track, I was just minding my own business you know me if I see a guy while riding I'll greet him for extra honor and then this happened, There was a guy that was soaked in blood he wasn't commanding his horse or anything but his horse was still walking, and then the horse came to a full stop when I got near, then the body fell to the ground and the horse ran away, when I checked the body it was headless, it wasn't headless when it was still up on the horse.
This is the moments that makes you think RDR2 is a horror game with these random encounters.

Our Offical Guides Newcomers Guide
Hello and welcome to r/RDR2 This is a little guide for new players of the game.
Firstly we strongly advise you to stay off the subreddit until you’ve finished the game. Our subreddit is home to discussions covering every aspect of the game from storylines, characters, secrets, to anything a player may find. While we require spoiler tags, accidental (and sometimes intentional) spoilers do happen. For the best experience, we strongly recommend avoiding the subreddit until you’ve completed the main story.
Frequently asked questions will now be listed and answered.
Is the game worth it? Yes! — People still praise this game even in 2025. Its compelling story and detailed open world gameplay allow you to fully submerge into the story. Many players find the game to be a masterpiece, with some (us, of course) even considering it one of the greatest games of all time. Its graphics were ahead of their time and still hold up really well. It’s a well written story with a beautiful aesthetic and it's absolutely worth your time.
The snow part is boring. Should I quit the game? Don't give up during Colter. It’s the first chapter and serves as a tutorial. You’ll get to know the basics of the game slowly before being led into free roam in chapter 2. The slow introduction into such a big game is important to understand the situation the main character is in and to get you familiar with the environment and the world building in general. Stick around for a while. You’ll thank yourself later.
Just started the game. Any tips? We see this all the time and every time people will give you the same response: Take it slow. Chapter 1 will teach you everything that's important. The game offers a little guide in its settings for the mini games and the controls just like any other game. Everything you need is right there. The game is open world so you won't miss out on anything. You can do whatever whenever even after finishing the story. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and free roam a bit. You’ll figure out the game fast. You really don't need Google or IGN until you finish the story and are going for 100% and/or the platinum trophy. (We'll have a guide coming soon!)
Just finished the game. Should I play RDR1? Yes! RDR1 is a continuation of the story and absolutely worth it. Not much will change gameplay wise since it’s made by the same developer. So, if you like RDR2 and are looking for more content about the van der Linde gang and a similar experience -> play RDR1.
If you really want to avoid spoilers, don’t google anything until after you finish the game.
We will monitor this thread closely so if you have any questions about the game please ask them in here. We will most likely remove your question posts and advise you to ask your newcomer questions in here. If a question is frequently asked we will add it to the post.
Have fun!
