By now, it’s possible you’ve seen that viral footage of a Red Dead Redemption 2 mod made by a Twitch streamer where the game forces the player to watch an NPC’s backstory if and when they die. That, by itself, is brilliant enough. But what really grabbed people’s attention was the fact the NPC stories were written by the Twitch streamer’s own viewers β and the results were ridiculous. But the antics go well beyond a short social media clip. Polygon spoke to the mod creator to get the lowdown on where the mod came from, and what’s happened since the initial clip blew up.
