Red Dead Redemption 2 released in 2018 and in the years since fans have debated who the best characters in the game were. Outside of actually playing the game, the Red Dead Redemption sequel featured fantastic writing that displayed wonderful character arcs and growth for many of the members of the Van Der Linde g
Going into Red Dead Redemption 2 fans understood that this was Arthur Morgan's story, but John Marston would play a key role in the events. When Arthur's journey ends most people were caught off guard at the reveal of the game's Epilogue that had players controlling John up until the events of the first game. Players can use the Epilogue to travel around and discover what the character's from the games main narrative has been up to. GTA VI including an Epilogue is unlikely but would be a welcome surprise to m
It's amazing that 15 minutes into the game, players are left dealing with a widow who just witnessed her husband being murdered in cold blood. Normally the story-telling trope would have had Arthur Morgan 's gang befriend the married couple for days. This friendship would lead the O'Driscoll gang to attack as a sign of spiteful revenge. The event itself ends up feeling like a setup to get the conflict between the Van Der Linde and O'Driscoll gangs up to a fever pitch in terms of anger towards one anot
Some people go their entire lives trying to search for purpose. The moment her normal life was taken from her, it seems Sadie understood what she must do. As she grew into a capable member of the gang you could see that revenge and vengeance were her driving fact
It seems that with every new AAA release Rockstar Games puts out they push the envelop when it comes to world detail, among plenty of other game development facets. Red Dead Redemption 2 managed to crush the level of intricate detail in GTA V , which seemed like an almost impossible task. The world in RDR 2 feels handcrafted in a way that clearly displays how the studio developed a work ethic and culture focused on crunch. The moment Rockstar Games unveils gameplay for GTA VI don't be surprised if it once again ups the a
As RDR2 fans know, this caused a tragically inverted Romeo and Juliet-esque situation, one in which the two lovers survived but the same can’t be said for their families. Players are first introduced to the Braithwaite family when Beau Gray asks Arthur Morgan to deliver a note to his lover, Penelope Braithwaite, who conveniently lives at the Braithwaite manor. Beau expresses concern over his love interest, as she plans to participate in a protest for women’s suffrage (which later leads to Arthur driving the stagecoa
Whether you believe hate or indifference is the opposite of love, they all carry the same emotional implications. You'll often find that hate is one of the most useful motivational tools for people and the world oddly benefits from it more often than it should. Sadie's a character whose hate is justified, and players quickly accept her and her flaws because they know what she's been through. Who wouldn't feel hate towards a world that took everything away from them? She could have turned out a lot worse, but thankfully bounty hunting caught her attent
Madam Nazar is a one-stop-shop for all of the Moonshiner herbs. All of the herbs for sale are only one dollar each. Considering how much moonshine sells for, that is not a bad deal. Gamers will want to pick up as many free herbs as they can while traversing the map, but Madam Nazar is always there just in case. It will often be worth the price to avoid having to fast travel, ride to the location of the herb, and search for
Though Red Dead Redemption 2 was a pretty straightforward narrative surrounding Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang , it did offer points of decision. There were several points in the game where things played out differently depending on how the player decided to guide Arthur through it. It's unclear if GTA VI will have one main protagonist or not, but it's safe to assume that Rockstar Games likes to give their players some agency. With GTA 's track record there'll likely be some unsavory situations you put yourself
The best characters in fiction tend to be the flawed ones, as that's the natural state of humans. No one's perfect and the ones who try the hardest to make it seem that way are often masking the worst flaws of them all. Sadie became a fan favorite character because she's inherently flawed, but most of it is due to an event she had no control over. She may be driven by spite and hate, but people find their purpose and inspiration in different ways. Sadie's not perfect, but could you blame
