The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn’t. A hero’s demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va
Arthur Morgan is a misanthrope at heart. He just really hates people. It’s possible to antagonize random people on the street, and sometimes Arthur will ask them, “You want trouble?” This will either result in the person pleading with Arthur to stop or chastising him and fighting b
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
Rockstar has been one of the most acclaimed developers of this generation, largely for the incredible narratives it creates. While the GTA franchise is certainly Rockstar’s crown jewel, the studio’s most impressive narrative is arguably the story told throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ . Choosing to move back in time with RDR2 made a lot of sense given how the original game ended. Making a direct sequel would have been tricky at the least, but beyond that, Rockstar’s decision to move back in time actually changes the overall direction of the entire franchise and possibly for RDR3 as w
The gang’s troubles begin in the opening scenes of RDR2 . They’re on the run after a botched heist of a steamboat has made them the most wanted criminals in the settlement of Blackwater and forces them to abandon their stash of riches, leaving the gang stranded in the snowy mountains of Coulter in the Grizzlies. The Van der Linde’s saga unravels over eight chapters, two of which are Epilogue segments that lead into the story of John Marston in Red Dead Redemption . Here are the best and worst RDR2 chapt
No matter the game rating, children are off limits. Rockstar realizes this and continuously omits children from their open world games. Young Jack proves the exception, although he does little throughout the g
The final part of her journey could lead her to the Panama Canal, which has been previously alluded to within the Red Dead franchise. Though it would be unclear in what stage of its lifespan the Canal would be by the time Sadie reached it, the location would be a perfect setting to end Sadie’s journey of chasing down her target. Not only would it provide players with a wholly original landscape, but it would also bring Sadie to a final impasse where she must at last pick which side of the fence on which she wishes to be. Sadie is arguably one of the franchise’s best characters , and this end would be one befitting both the Red Dead series and Sadie hers
Arthur’s assault on Thomas Downes really pushes the limit between “likable playable character” and “hateful protagonist whom players might not even want to control.” While beating Downes for the money, Downes pleads with Arthur and tells him that he has a family. Arthur, ever the career criminal , simply utters, “I don’t care about your fami
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
Her work could also have her crossing paths with the newly formed (as of 1907) Bureau of Investigation, which would give developers ample opportunity to sew threads foreshadowing the events of Red Dead Redemption in true Rockstar fashion. Since the actor who plays Marston has also mentioned wanting to return for RDR3, his would also allow Sadie’s tale to continue giving players glimpses into the transition of John Marston’s life between the events of the original and the sequel, thus capitalizing on both incredible characters while still shaping a new st
