Van Horn is easily one of the most unique locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 , even if spending time in it makes one feel dirty. Amongst all the towns, villages, and cities in Red Dead 2 , Van Horn is arguably the most decre
There's a ton of stuff to do, and the New Orleans-inspired architecture is simply magnificent. It's also home to some great missions and subplots, and its billowing black smoke portends dangerous things to c
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
On the flip side, even the most ardent defenders of Red Dead Redemption 2 generally agree that the Guarma chapter is not great. It makes for an odd and out-of-place narrative detour, it significantly limits exploration and freedom , it strips all accumulated weapons and items from the player, and it goes on for far too l
The way that Nigel talks about Gavin, and would walk the plains of America for him, makes it seem like there is something more than just a friend who goes for a cheeky weekend pint. In Nigel's own words: " We were best mates. I mean, really best mates. He'd never leave me. Never. " The use of the word really certainly raises a brow, and he is confident in the fact that Gavin would never leave him. After all, they came all the way from England to start a new life in America . Yet, was there a reason they left England? Could it be bigotry towards gay people at the t
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
Dutch's origins as a runaway from his impoverished family struggling to make it, and his turn to thievery for survival, also lay the foundation for the gang itself. Dutch feels like an outsider in the frontier, a misfit that dreams of a better life. As such, he collects other outsiders struggling to make it and brings them into his family. He finds a brother in Hosea when they try to rob each other, similar to Anakin finding a brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the two form the bedrock of the Van Der Linde Gang. Dutch then finds sons in Arthur and John , another pair of unfortunate kids trying to survive, and the stage is set for Dutch's series of betrayals in RDR2 . As Anakin turned his back on Obi-Wan and caused Padme's demise, so too does Dutch turn his back on Hosea and set in motion the destruction of John and Art
The original Red Dead Redemption 2 online Dead Redemption saw John being pulled back into the gunslinging life he had left, only on the side of the law. RDR2 took players back to the time where John and Arthur were still outlaws. RDR3 could strike a creative balance between the two with Sadie's story as a bounty hunter with brutal tactics and an admitted death wish, and the part of her that still yearns for a calmer life. This would give the eventual Red Dead sequel plenty of room to roam as the story carries through her life in the states of RDR2 and __ possibly taking players back through Nuevo Paraiso en route to South America, making for an even larger adventure than the previous entr
It doesn't get much better, or more unique, than Saint Denis. Red Dead Redemption 2 is primarily concerned with the approach of modernization and civilization, and Saint Denis is its physical embodiment. It's by far the largest city in the game, its streets packed with wagons, pedestrians, and hor
For Anakin Skywalker, his motivator was the love for his family. Anakin's inability to prevent his mother's death and his fear of losing Padme exacerbate his transformation, but the seeds of this change were present even before. Anakin was always brash and struggled to control his emotions, often acting in the moment without thinking through his actions. Dutch's love is more abstract than loving another person, but the love of an ideal is just as powerful and dangerous if it's not pursued with care. Dutch is not without the motivations of wanting a family, though. Little is revealed about Dutch's life before the gang , but the pieces that RDR2 does show displays his longing for a family that is free of the burdens of the front
