Any real life lessons that could be taken from RDR2? ****Spoilers****

[crh2018]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if there were any life lessons that we could possibly learn from the game. Whether the lesson is obvious or low-key throughout the story.

There was a Youtube video that talked about real life lessons could be learned from RDR1, but nothing similar that had to with RDR2.

Note: This is my first original post about any game in general, so I decided to put the spoiler warning out of courtesy, and out of uncertainty.

I'd say the one lesson the game teaches is that following your posse boss even though you know he's leading you all into a very wrong direction leads to everything falling apart at the end. And people dying. And people getting hurt. Etc Etc etc.

For a "simple game", RDR2 really has important moments and scenes and life lessons.

Definitely that when it come to putting too much loyalty in the wrong person.

 

Another one is

"If you know your fate, make the best of it." From Arthur's TB.

Although, it really doesn't have to be life-threatening in order to learn that lesson.

Don't get into a fist fight with a guy who has TB?

Seems like it would have helped Arthur.

If there's one thing you can take from the game it's make your own choices and don't let anyone control your life.  Love those that are close to you and try to be a good person.
