One of the most compelling aspects of Red Dead Redemption 2 is the littany of characters that populate the world of the game. Though, some Red Dead Redemption 2 characters are definitely more well received than others. In fact, one of the characters that most players love to hate is Micah Bell. Now, one user has transformed Micah in a very unsettling way.
Micah Bell is one of the most infamous characters featured in Red Dead Redemption 2. Over the course of the game, Micah commits various reprehensible actions thorughout the game's narrative. While he might not be one of the most beloved characters, Micah is definitely one of the most memorable, thanks in part to his character design. Though, one user has managed to change Micah's visage in a very significant way.
A Reddit user named No_Interaction4027 found a way to get Micah clean shaven and with shortened hair. It is absolutely bizarre to witness, considering that other than Arthur Morgan and John Marston, there's no other characters in the game that can manipulate their hair in that particular way. So, to see Micah with short hair and clean shaven is rather jarring, to say the least.
This isn't the first time that users and even game studios have manipulated in-game character models to produce a different appearance. Shortly after God of War (2018) launched, Sony released an image of Kratos without a beard. Any given change in appearance for any character can often be very significant, and with Micah, that is especially the case. It makes one wonder how different a character like Bill Williamson could look clean shaven.
It's amazing to see how players continue to dig deep and push the limits of what can be done within Red Dead Redemption 2. Even after releasing nearly three years ago, players are still managing to push new boundaries. Just recently, users have managed to solve the mystery of the Bear Claw camp and the Repentance Rock several years after the game's release.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Red Dead Redemption. Right now, the bulk of new content for Red Dead Redemption comes in the form of events on Red Dead Online. It's unlikely that there will be another mainline installment in the Red Dead Redemption series for quite some time. Rockstar Games hasn't shown any intentions of releasing DLC for Red Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
