So I beat Red Dead Redemption Earlier this morning and was amazed; I've never felt quite so strong a connection to it's characters.
But that's just primer for my actual discussion: the moment my duster coat was unlocked I put it on. It was with me throughout the whole game, through the good and the bad. I became a hero in it and a legend in it. Now for the spoiler portions:
How have you changed the impact of the endgame with outfits, weapons, etc.? It doesn't have to be Red Dead, it can be anything.

When Dutch was finally dead, I rode home and off came my duster coat, because the game auto-gives you the Rancher outfit. I kept it on. My life of killing, roaming the west looking for wanted men and taking bounties had ended: I was a farmer now. Then, the government came, and it took it all away. Marston died in his rancher outfit, which I found rather poetic, and even somewhat profound. When the epilogue fired up, the first thing I did was have Jack walk into Blackwater, put on his father's duster coat, buy his American Standardbred and equipped my favorite pistol throughout the game: the double-action revolver. Then I set off. Oddly enough, Ross was killed by the semi-automatic pistol, the one that Dutch used.
I found that even more poetic. And now the game is "done", and Jack is still in his fathers Duster coat.
And it's never coming off again.
