Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay: 12 Hands-On Details You Need To Know

11. Interact With Any NPC Using Face Buttons

Taking the fan-favourite interaction mechanics of GTA: San Andreas (where tapping different directions on the d-pad let you reply to NPC comments in the open world), RDR2 has a Witcher-like contextual prompt menu for the four face buttons.

Showing up and changing as you walk through town and get into all sorts of scenarios, they can show anything from "Greet" to "Antagonise" - even letting you rob people through intimidation or by gunpoint.

It's said that whichever weapons, horse equipment and attire you have on show, all factors into how the world reacts around you - something that gives me real Fable vibes when it comes to playing a villain through and through.
