Dutch will stop Micah from finishing Arthur, letting him die in peace. At this point, Arthur, now very close to death, will tell his former companions that he tried to change, unlike them. Like in the bad ending, Dutch will eventually appear to stop Arthur from killing Micah. Once you have killed enough, Micah will make his appearance, and the two outlaw will fight against one another with only their fists as their weapons. If you choose to help John make his escape, you will be set on the good ending path, and you will end up fighting a lot of Pinkertons on the cliffs. While the bad ending isn't particularly bad, it's definitely not in line with the way Arthur approached life after discovering he was sick, as he was resolved in letting, at the very least, John and his family escape, trying to give them a chance to finally start over. You will also get a scene with a wolf, which indicates that you have taken a dishonorable path. Micah will then shoot a dying Arthur in the face while laughing. Arthur will still try to make Dutch see reason, but it will be in vain. The duel between the two outlaws will end in a draw, and Dutch will step in to stop Arthur from killing the traitor. If you decide to get the money, you will go back in the cave where you will be confronted by Micah. If you choose the first option, you will get on the path of the "bad" ending. Later on, Arthur will be presented with a choice: go back to get the money, or help John escape with his life. A shootout will ensue at the camp, and Arthur and John will try to make their escape from their former companions.Īt a certain point during the escape sequence, John will inform Arthur that the money Dutch stashed away to make the gang's escape from America is still where it was left. No matter the current honor rating, which ending you get depends entirely on a single choice that can be made during the Red Dead Redemption mission, the final one in Chapter 6.Īt the beginning of the mission, the Van der Linde gang is clearly no more, with Dutch, Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella and the traitor Micah on one side, and Arthur and John, who's been left to die by Dutch himself during a prior mission, on the other. These changes are small, but they manage to represent Arthur's current state of mind and how he feels about the end of his life that's quickly approaching. During specific story events, Arthur will have visions of two different animals, a wolf is he's dishonorable and deer if he's honorable. The Honor system also influences some of the story sequences following the big reveal of Arthur's sickness.

If he's been dishonorable, however, he won't take it that well, but will still resolve to do all he can to help some of his fellow gang members get to safety, especially John Marston and his family.

If he's been honorable, he'll take the news in an almost serene way, deciding to do good with the time he has left. It means you miss out on the final battle so in that way it makes all you’ve done up until this point feel pretty pointless but it’s a funny little ending that’s in keeping with the irreverent tone of the game and thus totally worth unlocking anyway.The Honor system in Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode influences a couple of sequences in significant ways.ĭepending on your current rating, Arthur will react differently to learning that he has contracted tuberculosis and that he doesn't have long to live. Which, honestly? Probably the right call. The Bard can pick the ‘Out Of Here’ conclusion where he tells the two NPCs that he has no interest in their bickering, doesn’t want to die, and elects to go get drunk with a bunch of zombies and his favourite buxom barmaid instead. Or you can do neither of those things and decide to bail out of the entire conflict altogether. When all is said and done you’re given the choice to side with the good guy Druid Leader or the bad girl Demon Princess. The action RPG spends its runtime poking fun at video game tropes, characters, and mechanics, and one of those is the ability to make choices about who you want to side with. The Bard’s Tale is a wildly underrated parody masterpiece by InXile Entertainment, released in 2004. 10: Out Of Here - The Bard’s Tale inXile

#You have one chance all endings full#
Whether we found them delightfully absurd or downright bizarre, these endings might not have changed the face of video game narratives but we’d be damned if we’re not going to go full completionist and unlock them regardless. In this list we’re casting the spotlight on the endings that had us bemused. There are true endings, good endings, bad endings, ugly endings, and endings that leave you scratching your head for better or worse. Of course, alternate endings come in all sorts of forms.
