10 Secretly Powerful Video Game NPCs

Rockstar's beloved Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game that lets you live out your fantasies of strapping on a revolver and being the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the West.

Thanks to this, the law is less of a solid commandment and more of a guideline made to be broken. But encountering this NPC will bring your law-breaking power fantasies crashing down like a BMX descending from GTA V's Mount Chiliad.

Sam Freeman is the Sheriff of Tumbleweed, and while he looks like your typical law enforcement officer ready to be stepped all over, he's far from it. Breaking the law in front of him is an immediate death sentence, as he has no trouble whipping out his Cattleman revolver or double-barrelled shotgun to finish you in one shot.

Adding to this is the fact that he's the only Sheriff who can do so. It proves just how much of a cut above the rest this strict law enforcer is. In a game where you play as a badass gunslinger living outside the law, it's easy to forget that some Sheriffs really do own their towns.
