John Marston: An Honorable Man In A Wild World

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


There's a mission in Annesburg centered around a son and his mother that Arthur tries to solve, but ends up coming out of it as a perceived bad guy. In a way, this helped show Arthur that no matter how kind you present yourself, others will perceive you however they cho

In Red Dead Redemption 2 when players visit the town they'll notice that it has succumbed to a cholera outbreak. the saloon still serves drinks, but the town crier can be seen handing out pamphlets explaining the outbr


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

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


Is Dutch Van Der Linde inherently evil and a vile man? Well, most people would answer that question with a resounding no. He's a crook, but he simply wants to continue living the life of an outlaw and cr


Colm O'Driscoll is the leader of this rival gang and was the man who once had a partnership with Dutch. He ends up meeting his end right in front of Sadie as he is hung in the streets of Saint Denis, which was a fitting end for such a terrible hu


One could argue that Colter was at one time a busy town with folks galore, but by the time the Van Der Linde gang finds it in the snowy mountains, it's nothing more than a sparse village. The gang doesn't spend a whole lot of time here, but it is the first home Sadie Adler knows after her entire life is taken from

His father, Lyle, was once arrested for theft in 1874 but died at some point later. Although the two had a turbulent father-and-son relationship, Arthur still kept a picture of him next to his resting bed and wore his


Any citizen who believes in a righteous and just world would support Milton in his efforts to stop a gang who does nothing but commit crimes. Since the player sees things from the gang's perspective, Milton is in the way of the life they want to continue living, thus he's the bad


If Saint Denis is the Red Dead Redemption 2 equivalent to New Orleans, then Lagras is very much the bayou. The swamplands of the south can be quite scary when you consider that it's often home to less than savory people and can also be a breeding ground for voodoo and witchcr
