The eagle flies missions are useless and dont follow the story line

[IN ALLAH WE BELIEVE]

to me its a fact, is it to you?

[ToiletRider]

I don't call it useless in terms of writing.
Yes, it's not that significant, but it serves the purpose of introducing the character and leading the story to the ending.

[Hey Admin, Sauce Please™]

Agreed, they were all trash.I couldn't finish them fast enough.

How does it remind you of Beyond Two Souls? I'm really curious because I can't see the connection here.

I thought it was to show some of the Native American during the Wild West time period.
It may not be very relevant to the overall story but it was a large part of history.
I think what was being shown was how the Native Americans were treated very badly by the government and how Native Americans reacted in two ways; some peaceful and others fought.

They follow the story that Dutch is a piece of s**t and will use and exploit people for his own benefit, regardless of the consequences for those people.

Dutch makes things considerably worse for the native Americans in order to help himself (to keep the Army/Law distracted with them instead of his gang) and it all feeds to the "Dutch is actually a really bad guy" theme they've been setting up throughout the game.

Its something that really makes Arthur question what Dutch is becoming and how cruel he is for taking advantage of people who have already been screwed over multiple times and are at their lowest.

Just because you missed the point of it doesn't mean there isn't one.

Yep.

It's really cringey to watch people complain about story elements like this. They sound like high school kids who didn't pay attention in literature class and never set foot inside a college literature/critical analysis class. Like why are they trying to be a story critic when they don't know the first thing about storytelling?

The comprehension deficit often results in attitudes like OPs. "I don't understand this so it must be dumb." The rally cry of the ignorant.

Those missions just served the purpose of making the story extra politically correct.

Another thing someone else pointed out to me was that If you've played RDR1 you'll see that Dutch's new gang is mainly made up of native Americans because he knows he's able to easily exploit them with all their anger at whats been done to their people, which is something he learned he could do when he took advantage of Eagle Flies situation.

Its exactly as you say "trying to be a story critic when they don't know the first thing about storytelling"

This. The main storyline of RDR2 is well written and just because not everything is literally thrown in your face everything connects in the end.

[Hudson]

It explained how Dutch ended up being involved with the Native Americans he is leading in RDR1, why they are following him (stolen land and tricked by the government so they are plenty angry enough to blindly follow him) and how his view of Arthur changed to the point he left him to die in the factory.

Not all of the narrative is important but it has important parts.
