While fans already knew that thepupils of Arthur’s eyes dilate, a Reddit user named Worldly_Delivery5267 pointed out another neat touch. Just like those of a real human being, Arthur’s eyes can reflect the world around him, allowing players that bring the camera close to the character’s face to see things from a new perspective. In the case of the photo posted by this Redditor, fire can easily be seen in Arthur’s eyes, which looks amazing since the photo was taken at night.
After posting this lesser-known detail aboutArthur’s character model, several commenters chimed in to praiseRed Dead Redemption 2and Rockstar. The most interesting comment came from windmillninja, who shared some other cool touches that they have spotted in their own playthrough. Apparently, character models in the game will have their ears glow bright orange if they are under the sun, as light is shining through their skin.Red Dead Redemption 2’s eating NPCs were also mentioned in the comment, a detail that blew many fans away when it was first discovered.
WhileRed Dead Redemption 2already has a thriving photography scene, details like this could open up some fun opportunities for fresh images. Players could go out of their way to create scenes that would reflect well in Arthur’s eyes, getting some unique shots of animals or NPCs. Further, with Arthur’s eyes being reflective, it can be assumed that John’s will as well, adding to the possibilities. Regardless, the image shared in this piece is stunning, even if a few commenters were critical of the Redditor who posted it because of how they had dressed Arthur.
Despite being released back in 2018,Red Dead Redemption 2fans are still discussing the game’s unprecedented level of detail, showing just how much of an impact it has had. WhateverRockstar’s next gameturns out to be, it clearly has a whole lot to live up to.
