Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Facts You Didn't Know About Lenny, LENNY!

Holding one's family hostage to make them do your dirty work is morally corrupt, and deserving of some good old fashion Wild West justice. Coincidentally, the two's first and last meeting were both on a riverside where one party was fish
Although there is much to be said about the gaming experience of GTA Online , not every gamer enjoys multiplayer games. Some might gravitate more towards solo experiences, looking to be moved by the story and gameplay on an intimate level without the distraction of other players. Unfortunately, when Rockstar made the decision to solely focus on the online components of their games, they've stopped giving these players new reasons to come back to the game. Obviously, there is a large handful of hours to be spent in Rockstar's single player stories alone, but narrative additions certainly add a good deal of value to a game, and players miss them. It's clear that focusing on an online platform is the most lucrative move for Rockstar in this day and age, but there is a lot to be said about the quality they used to bring to their story DLC, and it would be great to see them go back to it some
While the Pinkertons are scum, at least they come off as such. Micah Bell was a traitor through and through, and a large contributing factor to the gang's downfall. The outlaw was consistently feeding Dutch lies, and exacerbating his paran
Micah Bell's horse is named Baylock and is a male Missouri Fox Trotter. Its darker body and light face make the horse look an awful lot like the Dark Horse from the first Red Dead Redemption. The Dark Horse would only spawn in the first game if the player had a low honor level. When putting that into account it seems that the horse picked for Micah Bell was intentional and meant as another piece of foreshadowing teasing the type of person he would reveal himself to be by journey's
Shepard might just be the friendliest space captain out of every major science-fiction franchise. On top of helping out her immediate friends, she gains the trust of a telepathic alien hive mind, gets the Geth and the Quarians to set aside their differences and agree to a truce, and even manages to earn the respect and admiration of a race of war-torn lizard people like the Krogans. She's so cool that everyone even sets aside a random day to just hang out at the Citadel and party with her before they have to fight off the evil sentient spaceships that want to kill everyone. If she's the kind of person that makes you want to postpone the apocalypse to drink some shots with her, then it's probably safe to say she's a pretty likable badass. Unless you're a reporter, that is.
As one of the strongest and most consistent publishers in today's market, the company has always been infinitely better and often masterful at something completely different: telling a story. Proving it time and time again, the writers at Rockstar frequently deliver a narrative that can stand next to each year's best movies, and serve as an example as to why video games are just as capable at delivering an iconic story as any other medium. While both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 have delivered on that front in recent years, Rockstar has all but completely abandoned something that they did better than anyone else: story
Imagine a scenario in which Micah Bell betrays Dutch Van Der Linde and turns him in to authorities for a hefty reward. Not that tough to do considering the type of person Micah is, right? Well, it seems that it may have been an idea Micah had early on in the story. Players who visit his temporary camp in Strawberry can come across a wanted poster for Dutch among newspaper clippings mentioning the murders by Micah and his father. It's never expressed that he was planning on capturing Dutch and turning him in, but it's hard to believe he didn't at least consider
Lenny may not have known what a superhero was, but it seems he was becoming the Western equivalent of the Black Panther. Lenny may have been a young newcomer to the Van Der Linde gang, but he knew how to stand
He doesn't get a lot of characterization in the first Game early access, but the prequel does a solid job of making the player hate his guts. He sides with Micah during the standoff at the end of Arthur Morgan's story, and runs away after the Pinkertons drop by. Good riddance to you, traitorous Bill William
Dutch makes the top of the list because there is still so much sadness and confusion in his character. He is irredeemable by Red Dead Redemption , but it forever remains unclear what made him snap in the first place. Was it the pressure of his fading outlaw lifestyle? Was it the head injury he sustained during the first botched Saint Denis bank robbery? Perhaps he was always evil and selfish and no one noticed until his survival instinct negatively affected them. He had to be put down, but everyone involved wished some other alternative was availa
With Micah Bell, it's hard to feel sorry for a guy who did earn a set of authentic and completely earned nicknames. Arthur Morgan came up with them and can be heard calling the Van Der Linde gang plague Micah Bell a rat, sickness, and snake. All of which are so perfectly fitt
