John Marston: An Honorable Man In A Wild World
Angelo Bronte talks about Fussar visiting the city frequently for prostitution and other sinful deeds. Players not only take down Fussar but manage to liberate an entire island of slaves from under his hateful and bigoted cont
The O'Driscolls are a group of men who happen to be a rival gang of the Van Der Linde squad. Early on in the game's narrative Arthur Morgan and company have a run-in with them that turns Sadie Adler's life completely on its head as she loses her home and becomes a wi
Leopold Straus starts the game as what seems to be a well-meaning old man who's found a way to produce income for the Van Der Linde gang in a very clever way. As Arthur Morgan's story goes on and he sees the effect the debt laid on by his gang has on people, he begins to truly hate Stra
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
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
Jack Marston was born in Van der Linde's world of the outlaw gang, and he learned how to aim and shoot appropriately from his pops. Despite John and Abigail's best effort to shield him from the nefarious life of crime, Https://WWW.Epicplayblog.cc Jack would eventually find himself in the shadow of his father after learning that the FBI had killed him father under the order of Edgar R
Most people will recognize Alberto Fussar as the main antagonist during the chapter in which Arthur Morgan and gang are prisoners in a place known as Guarma. It turns out Fussar makes an earlier appearance in the game as he can be seen at the mayor's party in Saint De
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
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
On the second playthrough, though, they know that there is still a lot of the game left once Arthur perishes. So, they're more inclined to search around the world a bit. And they should, as there are multiple hidden interactions to find as John. Players can locate and talk to the likes of Tilly (in Saint Denis near the tailor shop), Mary-Beth (train station in Valentine), and more, to see how they're do
Rockstar fills all of their games with an abundance of intricate little details that most players wouldn't notice. Red Dead Redemption 2 is no different in that regard. However, the game's story is so engaging that most players want to rush through it to see how everything unfo
After the events of Saint Denis seemingly left Dutch Van Der Linde with a deteriorating brain, Micah was worming his way into Dutch's head. Micah is the sole reason the Van Der Linde Gang folded, and why Arthur died an unceremonious de
Arthur is initially taken in by this man's friendly approach and even decides to enter the cabin to partake in a meal this man offers. However, this turns out to be a massive mistake, with the man knocking Arthur out before performing some highly unpleasant acts. After this unfortunate encounter, Arthur wakes up in the middle of nowhere and can decide to go back to the location and get his revenge on this sick, demented
Players who are looking for something a bit comedic and heartwarming should seek out two escaped convicts just outside Rhodes in the woods near the train tracks. "The Ties That Bind Us" is a three-part quest where Arthur (or John) can encounter the duo multiple times, helping them to avoid recapture (or turning them back in for the bounty money if they see fit). The duo is rather funny to watch, initially hating on one another quite a bit, but it soon becomes apparent to the player that they're pretty reliant on each other for survi
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
In fact, it is one of the most honorable things we can do, to strive to be better than the darkest parts of our nature. In many ways, John's life is better summed up by the final epitaph written on his grave. Blessed are the Peacekeepers, for they will be called sons of
