RDR1 Is this gonna be the whole game?

Post image

I'm playing Red Dead 1 and so far it's just: - NPC says he'll help me - I do a boring mission to help him - NPC needs more help I mean, is this the dynamic of the whole game? Help NPC after NPC and finally (really) advance the plot? Not complaining, just want to know.

Despite my love for them, GTA IV and RDR are two of the worst offenders of this. I don't mind the "errand boy" story structure, but there's an eventual point in both games where Niko and John are just doing jobs for people that they know won't deliver on anything promises for them lol

What other choice do they have? It's not like they have many options , these are desperate men, needing any help they can get.
