I'm just gonna assume that because it's a nicer thought.
I was playing red dead redemption 2 and I shot a racist guy in the game (an npc) that you usually can do anything to without getting in trouble and I got wanted for disturbing the peace and I wanted some action.... so like anyone else in a Rockstar game, I opened fire and shot up the lawmen. Well, I didn't know that, if the leader of my character's gang us nearby and you start up a fight, he comes to help lol. Took me by surprise lol. This is my 2nd playthrough of the game.
