Red Dead Redemption 2: 14 MORE Pointless Details That'll Blow Your Mind

11. Mirror Interaction

Although it's already ridiculously satisfying that the mirrors in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 actually work (seriously, why do so many games still struggle with bringing this to life?), there's actually a secret prompt that gets Arthur to make a few comments at his reflection, Duke Nukem style.

If you hold down L2 and circle (or the console equivalent), Arthur will give you a little insight into what he thinks of himself, and it ain't pretty. For the most part he'll lament how old he's getting and how ugly he is. Unfortunately, his spirits don't seem to pick up even if you get him kitted out in a dashing suit and give him a bit of a wash.

It surprisingly humanises the character in a way, though. I mean, who hasn't looked in the mirror on an off day and felt a little grim?
