10 Hard-Earned Rewards Video Games Took From You Anyway
8. Arthur's Horse Deserves Better - Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 features one of the saddest protagonist deaths in recent gaming history. However, as gut-wrenching as Arthur’s demise is, a lot of players can also point out another equally painful loss that happens in the final mission—the loss of Arthur’s horse!
Yes, even Arthur’s trusty steeds aren’t spared from falling victim to Dutch’s treachery in the end. After Arthur dies at the hands of his former friends, all of the outlaw’s belongings disappear, including his horses!
When you begin the epilogue as John, you lose access to every steed Arthur has had in his possession. Not even the special mission-related horses like Buell are spared, but what’s worse is that you don’t get to keep the very first mount you received as Arthur!
You could’ve spent hours taking meticulous care of it and taking every possible measure to ensure it wouldn’t die, and the game will still take it away from you!
It’s one thing to lose the horse due to a dumb accident, it’s another to have it ripped out of your possession after you did everything you could to protect it!
