One curious gamer has discovered what happens when you take one of Red Dead Redemption 2’s Night Folk away from the world they know and dump them in the middle of the city. Turns out, the anticipated violence never really comes.
As we can all agree, Red Dead Redemption 2 just keeps on serving all these years later. Players are still discovering creepy secrets several playthroughs down the line, proving that when it comes to using cliches like “the gift that keeps giving”, Rockstar Games’ RDR2 really is such a gift.

Now players are discovering what happens when you take Night Folk into the big city. Having tackled and tricked one of the Night Folk, the player in question then took them to a bar where they cut them loose.
After being “attacked” for a short period of time, the Night Folk calmed down, “walked out and made a friend”. Now that’s the type of wholesome content I search Reddit for. It seems I’m not alone in being surprised by this turn of events, with many fans of the franchise saying how they went from “killing folks to chilling with folks”.
“He’s about to turn a new leaf in life you rescued him from his abusers, it was the Stockholm Syndrome that attacked you not the victim in him,” poignantly said someone else. Having had their “whole perspective of life” changed, everyone wished the newly reformed Night Folk well as they went on a new adventure.
It’s a far more comforting turn of events than the chilling open-world encounter that’s unnerved the players who’ve discovered it. Be warned, it’s giving series Midsommar vibes. But that’s the duality of man that can be found within this iconic game, and is arguably why so many keep coming back to it.
Will you attempt to liberate more Night Folk, or leave them to live out their lives as the killing fraction they were designed to be?
