INSANE REALISM: NPC ROUTINES in Red Dead Redemption 2

[@alovekok9044]

When a game is so good you watch NPCs doing regular daily routines.

[@gurpinderwarar4625]

Sometimes he also visits his wife grave near broken tree to pay respect

He had a family... he sometimes visits her grave. Thats why he goes out to protect his land twice. He used to not... till one day an undesirable came around looking for trouble and killed her.

There is a grave under a dried tree on the hill behind his house, some times he visits the grave I believe it belongs to her wife also there is a double bed in his house... . I believe she was killed by thunder strike above the hill at the exact spot she was then buried , the reason for this idea is the shape of the tree which suggests that it was once hit by strike .

A dog resting at the grave of his owner, even tho the most players will never see it. A farmer, who reads the newspaper inside his house that maybe can't even be entered. Details like this are making the game so beatiful and special. Feeling like I will never kill a NPC again.

[@thescooterbrown]

Rockstar thought ahead. They were like, what if the player comes to his house at 6am. Let's have him reading a newspaper at that time, etc. Millions of players that could all approach these npcs at different times and in different ways and tbey decided to make it fit within the context of the world

[@xXxGr33N3RxXx]

You can see why they take so long to develop their games the attention to detail is on another level

[@romeogarbett4047]

@@joealexander4883 superfluous. With mods you can bring GTA V to the next level on the PC anyway and the only thing that would be great for Vanilla would be a better drawing distance, ray tracing, more cars that are up-to-date, better textures for the ground and for plants and of course more movable buildings, like for example all shops are really moved and an implementation of LA Revo 2.0 and an implementation of volumetric clouds and last but not least lip synchronization. And all of that is actually great too, but of course we prefer GTA VI and the remaster probably won't improve the points in the end.

Poor old goat farmer caught me stealing everything from his house so I was sadly forced to hogtie him and leave him laying in the goats shack. Good thing he seems to be suffering from some pretty severe case of amnesia cause he didn't remember me when I returned a few days later. (Goats must've chewed through the rope and freed him, assuming he doesn't usually get visitors apparently with that "Sure gets lonely out here" line) That way we could start from scratch and renew our friendship. :) (I accidentally killed him shortly after.)

Personally i just like to ride or walk around the map being immersed in the atmosphere.

In Chapter 3 in the early morning, follow Uncle for a bit until he takes a pee. Stand on his side, and when he starts do a sidestep so you stand slightly infront of him. His reaction is priceless! If you actualy carry on with this and don't let him pee, he breaks down. Cain the camp dog does not magicly appear, he walks in. If you are lucky enough to be there when it happens, there is a scene with Jake and Dutch and the Dog (with some very interesting dialog) that plays out when Cain walks in and becomes a member of the gang. There is also a hidden dialog with Dutch about the dog and why he allows him to stay. When you follow the dog for a while in camp, he is a pretty smart one. He steals food from Pearsons table, he doesn't like Bill, he is afraid of Micah, he guards Jack and Abigail... There is so much detail in this game, I think yuo can never see it all regardless of how many times you play through....
