Purple Lifeless Redemption 2‘s opening act was already fairly powerful – sludging by way of knee-high snow for hours is at all times brutal – however the recreation’s introduction was initially going to place gamers, and extra so protagonist Arthur Morgan, by way of even worse.
Rockstar Video games co-founder and frequent Grand Theft Auto lead author Dan Houser just lately revealed another starting for the open-world cowboy sequel the place Arthur Morgan acts “very, very nasty,” however it was scrapped in order to not make the sport’s main man instantly hateable.
“And he was not very sympathetic to his occasional girlfriend who’d had the child. So, it made him very, very nasty in the beginning, which I assumed could be attention-grabbing to mess around with as a result of then it might make his redemptive arc much more attention-grabbing,” Houser added, whereas explaining that the ultimate model of Arthur was “nonetheless form of powerful and nasty, however he’s barely extra likable early on. That was the appropriate resolution commercially. It’s higher that approach.”
