![]() ![]() Whether it is helping a grieving widow learn how to hunt after her husband has passed away or dealing with the aftermath of collecting money from a poor family, each and every side quest offered here leaves its own unique stamp unto this world. In fact, the side quests are probably my favorite moments I’ve had during my 60+ hours with the game. It’s not a far off assessment to say that this might very well be one of the best written games ever crafted, not only in its main quest, but in its side activities as well. Where Red Dead Redemption 2 excels so perfectly is in its storytelling. This prequel follow-up to the stellar Red Dead Redemption can start slow with its deliberate pacing, but it is a game that rewards you when you least expect it. This mission also starts out innocently enough, but eventually becomes quite serious and finds a way to bleed into the overall narrative. While Jack is excited when Arthur eventually has a bite, he is very comfortable bypassing that pacing with keeping busy with another activity. While Arthur attempts to explain that there are rewards in that patience, the young boy trails off in search of his own creative freedom. See, the young boy describes fishing as boring, that it’s slow and that there is a lot of waiting. It is here where Arthur Morgan, the game’s main protagonist, has a discussion with Jack that in some ways can sum up most people’s experience with the game. There is a moment in Red Dead Redemption 2 where you take a young boy, Jack, fishing. ![]()
