If you have not completed the story of Red Dead Redemption 2, I strongly recommend that you do not continue reading. This post contains spoilers about the ending of the story and certain events that occur in the epilogue. The event it deals with is located in the latter and involves two main characters.
We all know how Rockstar Games’ western adventure ends. It has a raw and bitter ending, at the height of the genre it represents. The Dutch Van Der Linde Gang ends up divided. Its members end up dead or scattered around the world. Us, Arthur Morgan, we die on a mountainside or in a damp cave. It all depends on our final choice.
“A sincere act of kindness always provokes another”
The death of Arthur Morgan marks a capital event in history. This is the moment of truth, the time to find out if he has finally achieved redemption or died like the outlaw he has been throughout his life. The outcome does not depend on a couple of decisions, unfortunately for many players, but on a karma system that changes depending on each action we take.
The matter is complex. Rockstar Games uses the symbology of Native American culture: the deer appears when our karma is good and the coyote when it is bad. Although it is only a way to differentiate them, since doing good will not always be the correct or just path.
The morality of Red Dead Redemption 2 It is complex. So much so that we can see the repercussions of our actions over time. And I’m not talking about something programmed with kinematics, but rather about small details that only occur if we perform certain very specific actions.
A donation for veterans
The event that is the protagonist of this publication is among the community’s favorites and takes place in two moments very separated by five years in history. It is one of the easiest to find and carry out, but few people remember to return after Arthur Morgan’s death.
The story is the following: if we explore Saint Denis with some calmness, we find a lady sitting at a crossroads with a small wooden stand. As we pass by her, she catches our attention and asks if we can give her a minute of our time.
The lady quickly tells us that she is collecting donations to support war veterans and their families. Red Dead Redemption 2 It is set a few years after the Civil War. We can find a battlefield east of Braithwaite Manor and several abandoned forts. If we agree to donate, Arthur will deposit $20 (if we have them) in the box, while the lady makes sure she knows our name so it appears on the building’s plaque.
After the death of Arthur Morgan, the epilogue of Red Dead Redemption 2 puts us in the shoes of John Marston to show us the following years and to carry out the revenge known by the name of the song that accompanies it: American Venom. At this point, it is difficult to remember the donation. If we go back to the same point, we can see Arthur’s name on the commemorative plaque.
This is a very small and easily forgotten detail, but it has touched all the players who have remembered to come back to see what had become of their donation. This is just one of the hundreds of details it hides Red Dead Redemption 2. Five years have passed since its launch and many players continue to (re)discover things.
