Red Dead Redemption 2 Quiz: Showdown At The Boomtown
Seeing your newly adopted stance, a flash of fear crosses the drunken man’s eyes. He gazes wildly around, searching for any lifeline to weasel out.
As you sit there calmly staring him down, he attempts one last appeal to avoid a draw.
“Now look ‘ere, mister!” The drunk bellowed across the sun-soaked streets. “There ain’t no need for either of us to risk our lives o’er this here paltry altercation! So why don’ ya just ‘pologize an’ we can go ’bout our business?”
Comedic providence seemed eager to punctuate the moment as a lone tumbleweed rolled between the two of you. Witnessing its path across the town, you considered the drunk’s words with care.
How will you handle the situation?
Finish what he started. Apologize! You’d be twice damned if he thought that would work on you. Spitting on the ground between the two of you, you make it clear only one person would leave this altercation alive.
The drunk, realizing there was no alternative, reached for his gun. Quick as a rattlesnake, you gunned him down before his revolver even lifted from the holster. Spinning your six-shooter around, a grim sense of triumph enveloped you as the gun slid back to your hip. As you searched the man’s body, you found a treasure map outlining a hidden stash of treasure.
A grin crossed your face as you set off in search of your next score.
-OR-
Be the bigger person. You knew the drunk simply wanted to save face. The code of the West dictated that backing down would brand him a yellow-bellied coward. Swallowing your pride, you decided to apologize rather than escalate the situation further.
The drunk seemed satisfied with the way events turned out.
“Now see here, mister.” He swayed about but seemed almost sheepish as he spoke. “No hard feelin’s for that there. But you seem like the type of feller’ who could handle themselves. If ya’ gots the stones fer’ it, take a gander’ at this here bounty. Doubt I coul’ han’le m’self ‘gainst ’em after this!”
Curious, you took the wanted poster for a certain Edward Deeks. You decided to change your plans and inquire after the bounty immediately before nightfall.
