In a Red Dead Redemption 2 clip, the player witnessed the unfortunate demise of Arthur Morgan as they diverted their attention from the screen. Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for its immersive open world, filled with unexpected events, but this player inadvertently caused their own tragedy.
Following the tradition set by previous Rockstar games, Red Dead Redemption 2's side quests provide entertaining diversions from the main storyline. While these in-game activities often lead to captivating moments in games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, players may also experience interruptions from the real world. In this instance, the player's untimely distraction caused Arthur to meet a swift and unfortunate end.
Reddit user Rylancoolman69 recently shared a video of their gameplay in Red Dead Redemption 2. In the clip, they are on a rescue mission where they have saved a girl who is on the back of their horse. The mission requires them to travel to a town called Annesburg, but instead of following the designated trail, the player decides to go off-road through some woods. Unfortunately, they end up driving off a cliff with the girl they were trying to save.
It's worth noting that Rylancoolman69's horse appears to be very fast, possibly indicating that it has been upgraded to its maximum stamina. According to Rylancoolman69, their gameplay was interrupted by something on their phone, resulting in both Arthur and the girl dying and the mission failing. Although the clip ends before Arthur respawns, it's likely that the player lost progress and had to start the mission from an earlier point. Despite being in the process of helping an NPC, Rylancoolman69's choices in the game suggest that they are prioritizing evil actions according to their Arthur morality scale.
Red Dead Redemption 2 incorporates a cinematic camera that could have potentially saved Arthur during the sequence when Rylancoolman69 died, had it been activated prior to their phone causing a distraction. The shared video by Rylancoolman69 serves as evidence that even the briefest interruption during one of the missions in Red Dead Redemption 2 can result in detrimental consequences for Arthur.
Now, Red Dead Redemption 2 can be enjoyed on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
