What’s included? Red Dead Redemption 2 aims to evoke a comprehensive feeling of a Western adventure in you. You don’t just ride mindlessly from mission to mission, but have an active world around you. A realistic wildlife with about 200 different animals is found here. If you skin them, you can sell the yields to many traders. With the earned money, you can buy weapons or ammunition.
The relationship with your horse becomes emotional. This is not just a random galloper that you send back to the prairie after a mission. No, this is a loyal companion that grows dear to you. The better the relationship with your horse, the more benefits you enjoy. Rockstar has deliberately made the loss of a horse particularly painful.
