Games

My first thought on seeing this was "I wonder what ENB preset that is?"

I thought this was Skyrim too!

I’ve been playing on Steam Deck. I had a save on Xbox but when I made the jump to PC I bought RDR later that same year.

Same. I logged about 20 hours on it before my desire to play just kind of slowly faded away. The game was too large and long to warrant such basic gameplay mechanics. You could be fully upgraded within 5-10 hours and then you've essentially seen all the gameplay there is. There's maybe 6-12 random "quests" you'll see while traveling (those dynamic events, e.g. a wagon being robbed), so even that part of it becomes repetitive pretty fast.

I'll get downvoted, but RDR2 is a really overrated game, in my opinion. The game was well made, no doubt about it. Its graphics and environmental design are still gorgeous even to this day, despite being 8 years old. The voice acting, writing, direction, cinematography, etc. are all very well executed. However, at the end of the day, I just found it kind of boring to play.

The start is really slow, did you manage to get past the prologue for a bit? Might be just enough te keep you interested!

I started and stopped Red Dead 2 several times over a few years, because while I enjoyed the story at first, it just wasn't gripping. Then eventually you get to a point where the story picks up and you're hooked. It has such a good ending.
