Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Reveal: 6 Ups & 2 Downs

2. Bases Will Waste All Of Your Time

It seems like the bulk of players' time away from the critical mission path will probably be spent in their base, which shifts frequently whenever Dutch's gang is forced to flee from the authorities.

The base is where Arthur and his cohorts will eat, sleep and hang out, with the gameplay showing off games of poker, stories and music being performed around a campfire, supply runs to keep the camp stocked up, and dialogues with NPCs which open up new side-missions and mini-games.

Morale will apparently be an important part of the camps, and as long as it doesn't become frustrating busy-work for the player - like the personal maintenance mechanics in San Andreas - it should be a ludicrously fun time-sink to distract you from the main storyline.
