The wild west in Red Dead Redemption 2 is nice and all however what if it have been wilder? What if Arthur Morgan have been a firebender? Or had expertise extra generally discovered at a D&D desk? What if he simply emitted mild like some deep sea fish? The RDR2 modding scene continues to be getting on its toes however creators have accomplished loads of foolish issues like swapping Arthur with animals. One modder particularly retains giving Arthur numerous superpowers.
Things began off harmless sufficient for the modder who goes by HCL on Nexus Mods. On December 2nd they uploaded Fly Mod. It does what it says on the tin. “This mod simply allows you to fly,” says the mod’s description. Maybe they obtained uninterested in using their horse. Maybe it’s a helpful utility for screenshots. I get it.
The following day, December third, HCL uploads a second mod and turned the dial as much as 11 with no warning. Their second mod, Pyrokinesis, lets Arthur create spontaneous explosions. Five days after that they fold it into one other mod referred to as Pyrokinesis and Telekinesis. See the screenshot beneath for some telekinetic revenge enacted in opposition to an alligator. After which can be mods for Illumination Power, Slow Motion, and eventually Blink.
Yes, that’s right, Arthur is now a D&D wizard. The Blink mod permits Arthur to teleport wherever he’s wanting. “The map is big and your [horses] are high maintance,” says HCL. I can’t agree extra. RDR2’s map is big and horses are a ache to maintain. Mine consistently desires to be fed.

HCL makes positive to make clear that in contrast to comparable Blink mods for different games, “when you teleport towards a roof from beneath it, this mod won’t let you pass through the roof.” You may also simply Blink your self straight into the air, although there are apparent penalties for doing so until Arthur’s new spell comes with invincibility or legs of metal.
Is there an endgame for HCL’s goofy superpower mods? It’s onerous to inform. They shortly deserted the plain Pyrokinesis mod in favor of 1 that included Telekinesis. There’s admittedly some overlap in potential makes use of for Blink and Fly Mod. Most probably they’re simply having a little bit of enjoyable bending RDR2 to their will, which I can definitely recognize. Maybe afterward as RDR2 modding matures we’ll see one large mod for giving Arthur any superpower in HCL’s steady of creations.
For now, HCL appears to be modding alongside at fairly a clip. By this time subsequent week perhaps there will probably be a mod that provides Arthur X-ray imaginative and prescient or turns him invisible.
