10 Video Game NPCs You Shouldn't Have Trusted
8. The "Blind" Beggars - Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2's world is absolutely bustling with life and impossible levels of detail, including the presence of countless beggars on the streets of the various settlements you pass through.
You might periodically notice a blind beggar asking for spare change, and though you're free to throw some cash in his cap, there's also a chance you'll discover on closer inspection that they're actually a faker trying to scam you.
Hilariously, if you point a gun at the beggar, the faker will recoil in a way that indicates they saw exactly what you did.
Though they'll initially try to save face, if you keep your gun pointed they'll undo their blindfold, admit their ruse, and run away with their tail between their legs.
Otherwise if you stick around after handing out some money, you might hear the beggar laugh at duping you, or even get up and start walking off.
Granted your losses in this regard are minimal, but it's still a totally unexpected detail that further fleshes out how absolutely wild the game's Wild West truly is.
