Ranking Every Playable Characters From The Red Dead Series

Much like Sadie Adler of Red Dead Redemption II , Annie Stoakes was just an ordinary cattle-ranching girl. Everything went according to her plan up until Governor Griffon wanted to own her ranch. One day, she just came home from the bank where she met Red Harlow to find out that her farm was deserted. Annie managed to kill some of Griffon's bandits that had stayed behind, and she was more than eager for reve


For instance, in one discussion, Mary-Beth says, "One day, I'd love a beautiful fountain pen and a... great desk in a quiet room and... to write the most beautiful stories." Later, when John finds out her wishes came true, few players will remember the original conversation. This is just one of many foreshadowing conversations that occurs at the Van Der Linde Gang's ca


After bringing these flowers back to Billy, John will be invited inside to meet the wife. Things take a turn, as the player discovers the wife is dead and her decomposing remains are sitting in a chair. It's a truly unsettling ending that shows just how depraved certain residents in the world of Red Dead Redemption are and adds another rich layer to this tantalizing world that Rockstar has meticulously crafted. Out of all the Stranger Missions in RDR1 , this has one of the most memorable conclusi


Players can find the man who gives this mission on top of a mesa near Agave Viejo in Mexico. The inventor, Charles Kinnear, has made a flying machine and needs supplies for it. He tasks John with finding these supplies. John will have to find certain kinds of flowers, bird feathers, and hardest rdr2 challenges beaver pelts to help the inven


Still, the real masterstroke of the game is that it lets us live life with our MacGuffin. A MacGuffin is an object or person that drives the plot forward. Our character needs to get or regain the MacGuffin, and thus it justifies everything they do in pursuit of it. Usually, when the MacGuffin is acquired, that's when the credits roll. But that's not the case with Red Dead Redempti


I remember thinking that this surely couldn't be the end of John. Not after all he'd done. I was convinced that there was a way to survive the final shoutout with the government. At the very least, I hoped that I could take Ross down with me. It seemed the only just option, the only thing that seemed fair. But Red Dead Redemption isn't interested in being f


Which animal the player sees can change throughout the game, but on a first playthrough, it easy to mistake it as simply part of the narrative. Only in subsequent run-throughs do players realize it's affected by their own acti


Before going any further, we need to address the ludonarrative dissonance in the room. Ludonarrative dissonance is when the story told by the narrative doesn't fit the story reinforced by the gameplay. It was first applied to Nathan Drake of Uncharted fame to discuss the oxymoronic nature of a charming rogue who has killed thousands of peo


When his job is done, and he hunts down the last of his former partners in crime, it seems that John is finally given a chance at redemption he has longed for. His reunion with his family isn't as storybook as he might have ho


Back in the days, he was a lone wolf native American who lived by his own moral code. However, things changed when his favorite cousin, Red Harlow, needed his help on his quest to find Colonel Daren, the murderer of his pare


From here players can invite whoever they wish to their little group and decide if they want to be a group of good or bad guys. The thing to keep in mind though is that in order to gain access to all the customization features like a bigger camp and a name will mean that the player has to spend about $200 dollars in order to complete it. This may sound like a lot of money, but it is definitely worth it in order to keep this group of players together even when logging off at the end of a session. Players can always ask their group to pay them in pelts or other high valued items in order to front the cost of the posse. Either way, it is well worth the mo


Despite the risk involved, to both his wellbeing and that of his family, John offers each of his former compatriots the chance to surrender. He knows them better than he knows himself and, as such, harbors no illusions that they will come quietly. Yet he still extends the olive branch to those he once called fri


Thomas Downes is known as the guy who infected Arthur with TB. This occurs when the Outlaw confronts Downes about the debt he owes. But while on the second run-through, players might notice that the debt collection scene isn't the first time Downes appears in the g


However, what players very likely don't encounter is that same weather turning against them, as it is possible to get struck by lightning in the game. And much like in real life, it's a very rare occurrence. Naturally, though, the more time players spend in the game, the more likely it is to hap
