There are a total of 15 Trinkets to collect in the game and they’re crafted from the body parts of legendary animals. This doesn’t mean that the game doesn’t incorporate some spiritual, RPG-like elements, though. Horse testicles shrink in the cold, your hat isn’t glued on, and Arthur’s health is at risk if he wears a large coat in the summer heat.
For the most part, Red Dead Redemption 2 is grounded in realism.
