John Marston: An Honorable Man In A Wild World

It's no wonder why so many players skip this part. The easiest way to complete this quest is to upgrade the player's satchel, maximize the Honor bar , and buy premium cigarettes (preferably in Saint Denis). It's time-consuming, but it's nice to see a complete set in the protagonist's possess

If Dutch was the gang's father figure, then Susan Grimshaw was the mother. Along with Arthur & Hosea Matthews , Ms. Grimshaw was one of the gang's original members in the early days. Before joining the gang, she had a romantic relationship with an unnamed fiancé, who eventually passed away la


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


There's no talking about Jack without mentioning John Marston . Born in 1873, young John witnessed his father's death when he was only 8. He was then sent to an orphanage before he eventually ran away to make his own luck in the stre


However, even after giving her medicine, Jenny will refuse a ride to town. She will say she can do anything through faith, despite John begging to bring her to town. It's a small moment that shows just how scorching the heat of the desert is, leading to people losing their grip on reality. After all, Jenny thought that Marston was sent by God himself to give medicine to


If players head northeast of Strawberry, they'll find themselves in a lumberjack camp that is full of many interesting characters. Players can initially sell some of their supplies at a premium here if they're strapped for cash. A visit later on will feature an event where a lumberjack gets trapped under the trunk of a tree, prompting Arthur and the other members of the camp to go and help free


However, it's not too long after we see the honorable man John is under all of his shortcomings. He is rescued and nursed back to health by Bonnie MacFarlane, a fierce and proud rancher, and John goes out of his way to repay his debt to her and her fam


This mission is possibly one of the oddest ones, as it has John meet a man who knows a lot about John's past. The Strange Man can first be met between Armadillo and MacFarlane's ranch, where he tasks John with helping in moral dilemmas. The first has John go to Thieve's Landing, where he can encourage or discourage an aff


There are times when players have the opportunity to interact with members of the camp and go on interesting adventures with them. Such is the case when players get the chance to rob a stagecoach with Bill Williamson, roping in Tilly along the


While meaning to do good, some of these stranger missions in RDR1 can have an unfortunate outcome. Of course, this is more of an exception than the norm, and shouldn't dissuade any player from seeking out RDR1 's Stranger missions and seeing what they have to offer. After all, the world of Red Dead Redemption is a rich and diverse one, and these side missions make it feel more fleshed out and lived in. It gives players an excuse to explore this wonderful world and interact with every handcrafted element. The detail in this title has helped establish its reputation as one of the finest Rockstar games ever made, which is hefty praise given the record of this beloved develo

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a tragic story of how far someone can lead a group of lost souls into their inevitable fate. After a robbery-gone-wrong in Blackwater, charismatic leader Dutch van der Linde promised his gang to lay low, only to find themselves trapped in the criminal world again and ag


Also from the Legends and Killers DLC of Red Dead Redemption , Mr. Kelly is next on this list. He's a three-time champion of the annual Battle Royale fast-draw, a gun-slinging competition in Brimstone, the largest town on Red Dead Revolver . Not only that, but he's also one of Governor Griffon's top-guns and right-hand men, the primary antagonist on the Revolver unive


John Marston is many things to many different people, including himself. To some, Natlan's Collective he was a vicious outlaw; to others, a desperate family man who would do anything to return to those he loved. To me, he was and will always be an honorable man in a dishonorable wo


John isn't lauded for his efforts to change. Instead, he is somewhat belittled by those he fought so hard to reunite with. But he is not doing these things because they are easy. To John, robbing a train or gunning a man down in the street is easy. The hard part is living a just life in an unjust wo


John, and again we the player, must now make life in the world we so desperately fought for. Instead of firing a Gatling gun to take out a gang stronghold or lending a helping hand to a fledgling rebellion, John is striving to be the man he said he wanted to be. He's teaching his son to hunt, herding cattle, and making deliveries. In terms of gameplay, it's boring, but in service of the narrative, it is exquisitely d
