Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Best Stranger Missions You Must Find
7. Help A Brother Out & Brothers And Sisters - Saint Denis
Rockstar
Although this is technically cheating, owing to the fact that these are actually two separate stranger encounters, both involve Brother Dorkins.
Red Dead immediately paints Saint Denis as a horrifying monolith of civilisation, so it comes as no surprise that, by the time Arthur and Dutch are first making their way through the city, it becomes apparent that it harbours a seedy underbelly. It is with this in mind that Arthur encounters Brother Dorkins, a monk stationed at the Saint Denis church collecting donations for the poor. He reveals that Saint Denis is the hub for a particularly ugly deed, and points Morgan to a specific location.
Following this, Dorkins can then be spotted a few days later, rewarding the player with a unique piece of dialogue as the game draws to a close. It's a wonderful, reaffirming sequence that can speak to Morgan's desire to help as many as he can (depending on how you play), and it's all made possible by these two stranger encounters.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
