What kind of outlaw will you play? The one who goes around spreading fear into the towns people ? maybe you’ll be the hero that saver of the land? Would you want to be famous, and make a name for yourself? Well that decision is totally up to you. This game is really to be played your way, what that way will be though? only you know.
Your Honor changes based on the choices you make. Behaving honorably by rescuing stranded travelers, helping townsfolk in need or choosing to capture instead of killing criminals for bounty will increase your Honor. Honorable men earn favorable discounts with merchants, and lawmen turn a blind eye to small crimes. You are of course always free to choose a dishonorable path instead; killing townsfolk, stealing horses and robbing banks will see your Honor plummet… but it might also make you rich.
The actions you take will also affect your Fame throughout the territories. Becoming more famous will have its rewards: people will come to you for help and greet you by name; shopkeepers will give you discounts, and new opportunities for work will open on the frontier. But a famous gunslinger attracts attention, and gunfighters will come out of the woodwork to challenge you to duels in the hope of making a name for themselves.
Without Red Dead Redemption being out yet, you might be wondering “What kind of choices will the game make me choose?” you’re in luck. It just so happens that Rockstar has made a mini five question quiz to determine what kind of outlaw you are. Remember answer with the first thing that pops into your mind.
Tomorrow is the final day of Gaming 411′s “Red Dead Redemption Special.” Make sure to catch tomorrows post as it will be something you don’t want to miss. Who knows maybe Monday will be some sort of surprise ? I’m not promising anything but it’s a chance.
