Except she didn’t rat the gang out at all, she lied simply to get a rise out of Dutch. Whether or not she did so to pull off a “suicide by cop” scenario is left unclear (and for the better, honestly,) but it’s one of the more layered, nuanced spoilers in the g
Interestingly, Arthur can die in multiple different ways depending on the player’s morality. If Arthur was a good person, he’ll die watching the western sunset one last time. If Arthur was bad, however, he’ll be unceremoniously killed by Mi
The open world games Guide of Red Dead Redemption 2 is a wild place full of wild people, and none may be wilder than the Van Der Linde gang. While some would say there is no honor among thieves, a man like Dutch Van Der Linde would say that is all a thief has. Loyalty and sense of purpose are how Dutch attracted most of his gang members in the first place. This loyalty gives way to an outlaw sense of honor, and some members of the gang feel this sense more than others. In this list, the gang members are ranked in order based upon their ho
The Van Der Linde gang used to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. The gang’s gradual decline is never more visible than their partnership with Leopold Strauss. Strauss gives terrible loans to folk with barely any money, and when they can’t pay, Arthur Morgan appears on collections duty. Without a doubt though the gang’s first step to becoming lost was doing business with Mr. Stra
Dutch starts Red Dead Redemption 2 in an honorable light, even after the Blackwater Massacre. His long-time gang members try and defend his actions, but soon enough his true character comes to light. It is quickly revealed that Dutch killed a Blackwater woman in terrible fashion. This deed is followed up with his brutal drowning of Angelo Bronte, and merciless choking of a woman in Guarma. Dutch might have once been an honorable man, but by the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , the player will realize just the kind of man he
This is especially odd when you take into account that pretty much all surviving gang members are either given an encounter or a mention at some point during John’s story (even Strauss). It’s even stranger when you take into account that he has a history of randomly appearing and disappearing from the lives of Dutch and his g
The next GTA doesn’t need to get as dour as Arthur Morgan’s tale, but a black comedy can still have award-worthy dialogue and scenarios. One area that can still be improved upon is the heavy-handedness with which its themes are conveyed. Players are smart enough to understand subtext without having it banged over their he
First impressions can be very hard to shake. In the case of Micah Bell, he exposes himself as a violent, careless, sociopath almost immediately. Very early in the game, Arthur Morgan is tasked with breaking the aforementioned Bell out of jail. Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l
This is something you can only discover once you get to the epilogue. Taking over for John, you can go to almost any of the old towns and cities from the first Red Dead Redemption , but you’ll very quickly discover it is not how you remember it. This is particularly true once you enter the town of Armadillo, only to discover that the town has largely been abandoned. This is due to the spread of several deadly diseases that left the town’s population decimated. There’s only a small handful of people left, with the only one seemingly untouched by the plagues being Herbert Mo
A character such as Dutch van der Linde who dresses in a rugged, gaudy fashion is so corrupt that members of his outlaw gang defy his leadership. A protagonist like Arthur Morgan has the opposite effect, bringing reassurance and tranquility. We like Red Dead Redemption 2 for its immersive gameplay, but love it for its character depth. These are the 10 best Red Dead Redemption 2 characters, ran
Naturally, since Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to Red Dead Redemption , it makes sense to include John Marston on this list. The epilogue was pure genius on Rockstar’s part. In itself, the epilogue with Jon Marston is almost a game on its own. The alternate storyline is deep and connected to the main one. He rarely listens to his wife’s concerns but understands the rough place he resides
This is one of the longest lingering mysteries surrounding the entirety of the game. You can run into a seemingly lost British man named Nigel who is actively looking for his friend, Gavin. Upon interacting with Nigel, he asks you if you’ve seen his friend. Ordinarily, this would lead to a side-quest or task of some sort to help find Gavin, but surprisingly, you respond with a simple “no.” And that’s
There’s more to detail than inside environments too. If weather had an effect on the city, or parts of it were destructible, it would go along way towards making it feel alive. A Shenmue level of realism isn’t expected, but it should strive for something more than what it has done in the p
