10 Video Game Plot Twists That Were OBVIOUS (If You Really Looked)

10. Arthur's Tuberculosis - Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game full of amazing little details. From NPCs actually eating their food to certain body parts of your horse shrinking in cold weather, the developers clearly put a lot of thought into designing the game. This, of course, extends to the main story and how the game foreshadows Arthur getting diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Although the revelation came as a surprise to many during their first playthrough, there are actually a few subtle hints the game leaves to let you know of Arthur's sickness beforehand. The first and most direct one is Arthur getting coughed on by Thomas Downes when you try to collect money from him. You can see the sick man coughing up his spit and blood right into Arthur's face, sealing his fate.

This is not the only hint, however. The game also lets you know there's something wrong with Arhtur by making it more difficult for him to gain weight. Unlike John, who can get pretty big pretty fast, Arthur barely bulks up after becoming infected.

This kind of attention to detail is why Red Dead Redemption 2 is still considered a gaming marvel after all these years.
