The 9 Best Things About ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’

9. The Dialogue

Sure the game is beautiful and it’s fun to duel other outlaws, but what first pulls people into Red Dead Redemption 2 is the sharp writing and dialogue. Every character, from the protagonist Arthur Morgan or his colleagues in Dutch’s gang to the random interactive individuals the player bumps into, has sharp, unique dialogue. Despite the similarities between many characters, they all have something interesting to say and add to the world. More than just time-filler, the background conversations in this game often fill people in on the details of the world and give hints about other people’s backgrounds. Sitting down at a local saloon to play poker is more than just an entertaining way to lose some money, it’s also a way to collect information. Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in a rough setting, so it’s fascinating to learn what people are thinking and stressing about at that time through their dialogue.
