10 Missable Video Game Side Quests That You NEED To Do
10. Go Rustling With Uncle - Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2's gang is a colorful bunch, each with a unique personality, relations, and side activities that Arthur can participate in to get to know them better.
Most of these companion activities are hard to miss. As long as you visit the camp regularly and talk with each person, sooner or later they'll invite you to hang out.
The only exception to this rule is Uncle, whose special side mission happens at such specific time frames that most people don't even know it exists.
Unlike most companion hangouts, the activity with Uncle is the only one that is triggered during night hours. The player has to approach the old drunk between midnight and three in the morning in chapter 4, or else they will not be able to do his side quest.
Since this is the only exception and the timeframe is somewhat short (not to mention inconvenient), most players tend to miss it, unless they constantly check the camp.
It is a shame, though, as the mission is a lot of fun, with branching paths dealing with the consequences of Uncle's cattle rustling and plenty of the old man's classic lumbago-fueled tomfoolery.
