The Rhodes Saloon is also a gorgeous location, complete with two stories, a winding staircase, and blackjack upstairs. There’s also a fun little bonus to be found, as a captive is being held prisoner in the gunsmith’s basem
In the end, we seem to have succeeded in reuniting John with his family. But the government doesn’t hold up its end of the bargain. The army attacks the player’s homestead, and John sends his wife and son to safety and returns to face the invaders. But he is met with a brutal and sad end, dying in a hail of bull
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
Arthur is nothing if not self-aware. During the “bad” ending (the ending received if a player has low honor), Micah will damn Arthur before executing him. However, Arthur gets the last word in, yelling, “Damn us both!” right before he is kil
It’s safe to say that Reddit user u/NFIGUY does not like the game . They penned a long and detailed response as to why they hate the game, concluding, “If I wanted some s*** to be extremely frustrating and difficult to accomplish , I’ve got real life for th
The last, and most chaotic, train robbery of Red Dead Redemption 2 comes at the end of the game. The gang is broken and members have gone their separate ways, but Dutch has one more job to pull. When the train doesn’t stop in Saint Denis as planned, the remaining gang members chase it down on horseback, resulting in the player jumping from horse to train and vice versa multiple times as they trek along the train tracks in an explosive shoot
Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader’s backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don’t know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch’s young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch’s plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti
Reddit user u/Bizrat7 shares a similar opinion, arguing that the game essentially plays itself. They write, “I would literally set a map marker on a quest, set my horse to auto-travel there, and then watch YouTube until I got there. Engage in a shootout by pressing L, then R. Then L, then R. The game essentially plays itse
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
The Elder Scrolls franchise has created one of the most immersive and detailed open-world universes over the years, especially in Skyrim. We get to explore different parts of the world of Tamriel and see many stories unfold in the Elder Scrolls ga
Valentine is the first town players come across in Red Dead Redemption 2 Horses Dead Redemption 2 (provided they don’t go wandering). It’s a small town without much to do, composed of little more than a train station, a farm, and a lined street with a saloon, police station, general store, hotel, and weapons st
The next least violent train robbery involves the surprisingly smart and levelheaded plan of John Marston , who players will get to see grow throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 after he recovers from the wolf attack. The gang needs more money, and John thinks he’s discovered an easy way to do it. Arthur, John, Sean, and Charles head out to block the tracks with a recently acquired oil drum cart. With the conductor coming to a full stop – as to not blow up – the gang proceeds to enter the train and threaten the passengers to put their belongings into a
