Sure, I may be a little late to the party with an article about this game, but what strikes me about playing the masterpiece that is Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption is my own conflict in the way I am trying to play it.  This is something I have never encountered in a game before. 

Bioshock, Fallout 3, Mass Effect and other RPGs present you with an element of morality and choice, but it is all built-in as part of the game.  With RDR, it is the narrative that I create, my own story constructed around the prescribed missions, that present the most interesting and challenging moral flashpoints.

I have encountered a 3-way conflict when playing this game. When I started out, I wanted to play it as the good guy; I tried to be honourable and get my fame up and get the settlers to like me.  My conflict: (hit the jump for more!!!)
