Her time in the region would also allow for potential interactions with former Van Der Linde member Javier Escuella. Javier would be well into his role as a hitman in Sanchez's ranks, which could further elaborate on that story as well as weaving the web that John Marston eventually finds when he goes hunting down Escuella in Red Dead Redemption. Given Mexico is one of the best potential settings for RDR3 , this section of Sadie's journey would tie into the previous games nicely while also adding nuance to her tale, which mirrors that of John and Art

The man is a stalker, who has watched this widow from afar. His tent site is filled with photographs and drawings of women in the nude, perhaps even without their knowledge. The perverted man is a stalker, and the victim he lusts for seems to be Charlotte Balfour, the widow at Willard’s Rest in Roanoke Ridge who Arthur helped teach to hunt and survive in the w

Bill was Micah's right-hand man and known as the Van der Linde crew bully in Red Dead Redemption 2 , who was always looking to pick a fight to prove how tough he was. Despite that, his unmatched grit made him a formidable outlaw that few people were courageous enough to cr

Location: Bayou Nwa and Bluewater Marsh between 8 PM and 3 AM

Venturing through Lemoyne is always going to be dangerous, but even more so if players dare to cross the swamps of Bayou Nwa at night, for at night, is when the Night Folk come out in search of new victims. Occasionally, players might hear the wail of a woman in the Bayou Nwa district of Lemoyne, but high honor players shouldn’t be fooled by this woman in distr

While Dutch may not have a Chosen One-type prophecy driving his narrative, it would be hard to convince him of it. Dutch believes unequivocally that he is destined to make a utopia for him and his own that fits his fantasy of a free frontier. The original Red Dead Redemption showed Dutch at the very end of his journey when he had no cards left up his sleeve, but even then the enigmatic leader had the last word and ended things on his own terms. When the story roles back to the downfall of the Van Der Linde Gang in RDR2, players see a much more nuanced Dutch with more of the charm and bravado for which he's known, but that slowly fades as the story progresses. Even as the game foreshadows that he is getting sloppy and erratic, Dutch still showcases hints at the man he was , who was able to inspire all the members to follow

Biomutant , the post-apocalyptic open-world RPG game introduces a new and interesting system of morality with its auras . Based on the player's aura at the end of the game, they might end up with a good or bad end

The Star Wars prequels are by no means perfect. Despite their flaws, though, the Star Wars prequels do have a solid plot at work. Literature is rife with powerful tales of heroes' tragic spirals into becoming the villain, from the once honorable Macbeth's betrayal of his king and country to Harvey Dent's path to becoming Two-Face and Walter White's journey from hardworking family man to maniacal drug lord. Every medium has them, and video games are no exception: from Bioshock 's jarring "Would You Kindly" revelation to the groundbreaking moment players realize Dormin's plans in Shadow of the Colossus . Red Dead is uniquely positioned, though, in that it can take the stories of the previous games which established the gang's tragic demise because of their erratic leader and wind back the clock to a time when he was still a hero. Before there was Vader, there was Anakin, and before there was the Van Der Linde Gang, there was Du

Initially, Red Dead Redemption was a simple tale of a reformed outlaw trying desperately to turn from his wicked ways and make an honest life for his family while constantly being dragged back in because of his old gang. Following Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde Gang through RDR2, though, made the narrative a larger tale about a complete family of outlaws struggling to continue their way of life set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing frontier as the lawless West gave way to civilization. In doing so, Rockstar made the Van Der Linde Gang and its leader Dutch van der Linde the actual main characters of the franchise, which makes the perfect narrative for Red Dead Redemption 2 Beginner Guide Dead Redemption 3 to explore the origins of Dutch van der Linde in a similar way the Star Wars prequels showcased the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. While the western frontier of Red Dead may not be as fraught with heroic saviors and malevolent villains, the tale of a hopeful and ambitious Robin Hood figure turned narcissistic megalomaniac is equally as compelling as the origins of Darth Va

Sadie's admission to John that she had developed a bit of a death wish, and her penchant for violence, could be enough to keep her in her role for a time after the events of RDR2, which could allow players to experience another powerful narrative of Red Dead 's themes around revenge and redemption. Sadie's character would become more and more hardened, as she is already becoming at the end of RDR2 , losing herself in work and struggling to maintain her humanity in the proc
