Charles also rode an Appaloosa named Taima, a horse breed renowned for its unbreakable stamina. Even though he's joined the Van der Linde gang later in Red Dead Redemption 2 , Charles proves to be an invaluable hardworking member of the group thanks to his hunting and gunslinging skills. That's mirrored by Taima's stalwartness in the fi

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

The final part of her journey could lead her to the Panama Canal, which has been previously alluded to within the Red Dead Redemption 2 missions Dead franchise. Though it would be unclear in what stage of its lifespan the Canal would be by the time Sadie reached it, the location would be a perfect setting to end Sadie's journey of chasing down her target. Not only would it provide players with a wholly original landscape, but it would also bring Sadie to a final impasse where she must at last pick which side of the fence on which she wishes to be. Sadie is arguably one of the franchise's best characters , and this end would be one befitting both the Red Dead series and Sadie hers

Her work could also have her crossing paths with the newly formed (as of 1907) Bureau of Investigation, which would give developers ample opportunity to sew threads foreshadowing the events of Red Dead Redemption in true Rockstar fashion. Since the actor who plays Marston has also mentioned wanting to return for RDR3, his would also allow Sadie's tale to continue giving players glimpses into the transition of John Marston's life between the events of the original and the sequel, thus capitalizing on both incredible characters while still shaping a new st

Dutch's origins as a runaway from his impoverished family struggling to make it, and his turn to thievery for survival, also lay the foundation for the gang itself. Dutch feels like an outsider in the frontier, a misfit that dreams of a better life. As such, he collects other outsiders struggling to make it and brings them into his family. He finds a brother in Hosea when they try to rob each other, similar to Anakin finding a brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the two form the bedrock of the Van Der Linde Gang. Dutch then finds sons in Arthur and John , another pair of unfortunate kids trying to survive, and the stage is set for Dutch's series of betrayals in RDR2 . As Anakin turned his back on Obi-Wan and caused Padme's demise, so too does Dutch turn his back on Hosea and set in motion the destruction of John and Art

RDR2 's John is far from the man gamers met in the original Red Dead Redemption . He was hot-headed, wild, and laughed in the face of danger, which saw him come close to death several times. He rode a Hungarian Halfbread horse he named Old Boy. The breed is known for its fearlessness in battle, just like John's willingness to ride into the unknown, guns blaz

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

That said, it is absolutely breathtaking on first glimpse. Watching citizens go about their business is utterly magnetic, and the muddy streets make for a stellar showcase in technicality, detail, and phys

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 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
