10 Horrifically Illegal Things You Can Do In Rockstar's Games

1. Tie Innocent People To Rail Tracks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Fm3XaTdI#t=179 Grand Theft Auto in the Wild West might not have sounded like a great idea for a game but Rockstar absolutely nailed it with Red Dead Redemption. It looked beautiful, it played great and the story (a tale of redemption, surprisingly) was suitably epic. One of the key features of the game involved John Marston's lasso which he can use to capture and hogtie villains for ransom. Of course, this being a Rockstar game, you can also hogtie innocents... and that's where it all gets a bit murky. With cars and planes being a rarity back in 1911, horses and trains provide the game's main transportation. Of course, where there are trains, there are train tracks, and in RDR you can go full stereotypical mua-ha-ha'ing villain and tie someone to them, before sitting back and watching the train decimate everything. If you want to feel extra villainous, try growing a handlebar moustache and twirl it while laughing manically. We've already established that Rockstar are an incredibly well thought-out development team though; surely they wouldn't encourage this sort of train-related havoc? On the contrary, Red Dead Redemption has an Achievement/Trophy for hogtying a woman (yes, it even specifies that it's a woman for extra villain points) to the tracks and watching her explode into nothing. It's aptly named Dastardly, by the way. Ah, the good old days of the Wild West - sun, sand and horrific crimes against humanity everywhere you looked. Can you think of any more examples of highly illegal activities depicted in Rockstar games? Is there something you specifically do to unleash your inner crimelord?

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
