While Chapter 5 provides the biggest change of scenery throughout the extent of RDR2, __ it's short-lived and doesn't feel anywhere near as fleshed out as other moments of the game. Each chapter of the Western did an excellent job at introducing new characters or places and developing them until they felt fully realized. Chapter 5 was a rare lapse in the otherwise masterclass of game, story, and art that Rockstar weaved together to create Red Dead Redemption _
RDR2 's story begins in 1899 during the tail end of the American Frontier period, an era when shanty towns had turned into bustling cities like Saint Denis. This urbanization brought the rule of law over previously lawless territory where bands of gunslingers, like the Van der Linde gang, were free to roam the land and make a quick buck however they could. Throughout the Western tale, Arthur and his crew realize that modernization is shunning people like them, but it's the only life they k
A rumor in Rhodes has it that both families have vast stashes of gold and riches hidden somewhere in the region. Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthew hatch a plan to warm up to both families, then sneakily escalate tensions so they can make off with the gold when the fighting reaches a climax. Arthur and the crew embark on shadowy missions to gain the favor of the Grays and Braithwaites while also sabotaging them behind their backs. When it seems that Dutch's plot might go off without a hitch, it becomes clear that the gang was being played the whole t
Her quest for revenge against the O'Driscolls serves as a subplot that reflects the themes of the main story, and the depth of character Sadie brings to both narratives was one of the most impressive parts of RDR2. With Alex McKenna, the voice and motion capture actress behind Sadie Adler, recently saying she would love to reprise the role for RDR3 , it's worth considering what such a campaign would look like. Between Sadie's transformation into a bounty hunter in the events of the epilogue and her speaking to John about how she would like to live in South America, both provide ample material for a potential seq
Their return has a momentary silver lining when Arthur finds the remaining Van der Linde gang members camped out near San Denis. That reunion is cut short when the Pinkerton National Detective Agency , which has been chasing them from the start of the story, attacks the remnants of the gang and forces them to relocate into the mountains near a mining town named Annesb
Her time in the region would also allow for potential interactions with former Van Der Linde member Javier Escuella. Javier would be well into his role as a hitman in Sanchez's ranks, which could further elaborate on that story as well as weaving the web that John Marston eventually finds when he goes hunting down Escuella in Red Dead Redemption. Given Mexico is one of the best potential settings for RDR3 , this section of Sadie's journey would tie into the previous games nicely while also adding nuance to her tale, which mirrors that of John and Art
Arthur and Dutch are even made deputies of the local law enforcement, but it turns out to be an elaborate bait set by the Grays. The gang is ambushed, which ends in the death of Sean MacGuire, and Jack Marston (John's son) is kidnapped by the Braithwaites and taken hostage. Both families are outgunned by the Van der Lindes when the dust settles, but this violent outbreak forces the crew out of t
There are a total of four fences that will purchase gold bars in Red Dead Redemption 2 . The first is the Emerald Ranch wagon fence named Seamus . Arthur will interact with Seamus in the main storyline. Seamus will ask him to steal a stagecoach to prove they are worthy business partners. After the quest, Seamus will be available as a fence for wagons and other ordinary items.
Rockstar's slow and snowy start to the western adventure of Red Dead Redemption 2 _ set the tone for the tragic game, but it also introduced players to one of the few characters who manage to find some level of redemption. Sadie Adler's involvement in the first couple of chapters, while important, is largely minuscule. As _RDR2 progresses, though, Sadie quickly becomes an integral part of the narrative and one of the fan-favori
Lenny was a young outlaw eager to make a name for himself that also loved to have a good time and chat with the rest of the Van der Linde crew. His saloon mission was one of RDR2 's comedic highlights, and he provided some of the best conversations in the game, like talking to Arthur about his white privilege and teaching Sean MacGuire how to r
Sheriff Freeman asks what crime the man committed; upon hearing that it was a stagecoach robbery, Freeman will shoot the gang member. If the player gets too close to the scene, Freeman will warn John to back off. John can also free the gang member before he's killed, causing a loss of ho
While the main missions contain plenty of comic moments - both Arthur and John have quickfire wit - it’s the 'Stranger' missions and side quests that contain the funniest, most bizarre stories. All the funniest video game missions have a little darkness behind them - and Red Dead Redemption 2 missions Dead pulls them off perfec
