10 Best Video Game Secrets Of The Decade
1. The Strange Man - Red Dead Redemption 2
As already mentioned, the world of Red Dead Redemption has some of the finest secrets in video game history, being absolutely packed to the brim with the things from prologue to close. The open expanse of the wild west has everything from vampires, to wolfmen, to the night folk returning in all their glory, but these spooky apparitions aren't the only fellas to be returning from the original game.
The Strange Man dishes out a quest in the first game which ends in open fire that miraculously doesn't hurt him, making his name all the more pertinent. In the second, you can find his portrait in progress in an abandoned shack in Lemoyne. As the game progresses, he's conjured up in his entirety once you approach the easel as John Marston. If you then look in the mirror, he'll appear behind you like a spectre. Creepy.
This unsettling fellow is alluded to as the grim reaper, and as one that can make devilish deals - one of which backfires and potentially causes the cholera outbreak in Armadillo. With the amount of lore and intrigue surrounding the character and his humble few appearances, The Strange Man has been one of the most fascinating additions to the RDR games ever.
