When I first played Red Dead Redemption 2, I vowed to myself that I would not kill any innocent bystanders. I was so determined to complete a high honour run, and while that did largely happen, I can't deny the fact that there were a few casualties along the way. Sometimes you accidentally hit the wrong key and end up quickly firing your gun, or perhaps someone caught you doing something you shouldn't. I don't have the money to keep paying my bounty, so unfortunately, some lives were lost in the name of convenience.
It can be easy not to feel bad about offing a few characters when all they really are to you is a slight inconvenience. As long as you don't get caught, chances are you can escape with no consequences. Besides a slight ding to your honour level, there's no real impact on your character or psyche. Until now, that is.
