Red Dead Redemption: 15 Things Players Hate About The Game

Black and White Moral Choices

There are several points in the game where you’re relegated to a moral black or white choice in the story. You have an “honor meter” which is basically the linear karma system from Fallout 3. You kill people, for whatever reason, and your honor system goes down. But if you don’t kill people or bring in criminals alive, it goes up. So you’ll find yourself in a situation where you’re under heavy fire from a wanted bandit, but you tanking all the shots because you want to hogtie him so you don’t lose karma, even though no one would question you for killing a wanted criminal who was shooting you in the face.
