RDR2: Mistakes Everyone Makes on a First Playthrough

The characters who failed to find redemption are those who became consumed with greed or paranoia, disregarding those around them for their own selfish benefits. Listed below are their unfortunate ta

If players do stumble across Sonny sitting on his porch, feel free to antagonize him or even give him a bullet so he can’t hurt anyone else. It’s an act that nobody should have to go through, and first-time players might make the mistake of entering the shack as a friend instead of as the Grim Rea

Arthur's character is a bit more original when it comes to his design, but he still feels like he belongs in the homage-riddled world of Red Dead Redemption. __ His design is more suited to a variety of cowboy activities, and his story in Red Dead Redemption 2 provides more room for a player to feel morally safe when doing dirty deeds. Player's have more control over his appearance, what he does, and what he says to other characters, so outside of roleplaying Clint Eastwood, Arthur is a more effective avatar than John ever

Despite killing Micah at the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , Dutch continues his bad deeds in the original Red Dead Redemption . When he and John first come face to face, Dutch is holding an innocent woman hostage. After taunting John for marrying Abigail, Dutch kills the woman before making his escape. When he is finally cornered by John, he tries to excuse his actions by claiming he had to spend his whole life fighting change. Although this might have been true earlier in his life, by the time of Dutch Van der Linde's death he had become a shell of the man he once was. In the story of **Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan Theories Dead Redemption ** , Dutch never comes close to atoning for his acti

The entirety of the Red Dead Redemption _ franchise revolves around flawed characters trying to change their ways, starting in the original game with John Marston and following up with Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2 . _ Even though those two protagonists have both meaningfully changed by the end of their storylines, there are many characters in the Red Dead Redemption games who are never able to make up for their p

The leader of the Van der Linde gang and Arthur's surrogate father, Dutch begins Red Dead Redemption 2 as a likable and trustworthy man, one who clearly puts his gang first and fights for what he believes is right. Even when Dutch does do unexpected things, such as putting the gang at risk to help Eagle Flies, it is ideologically consistent with his belief in a free country for all. As the gang becomes more desperate, however, Dutch seemingly stops putting the group first, leaving people behind and trusting people like Micah for advice . When Dutch eventually turns on Arthur and John, it demonstrates just how unstable he had actually bec

Unfortunately, her desire to snap Dutch out of his paranoia leads to a mistake that not only harms herself, but the Van der Linde gang as a whole. In Chapter 6 of Red Dead Redemption 2 she returns to camp still drunk from Saint Denis. She then begins berating Dutch, claiming that she isn't like " any of your stooges, " a reference to the gang's blind faith in Dutch. She eventually "admits" to ratting the gang out to the Pinkertons, a reveal that players later find out is a lie. While O'Shea likely told Dutch she ratted in a desperate attempt to anger him, or at the very least grab his attention, it ended up costing her her life. In addition, it protected the actual snitch, which lead to further misfortune for the rest of the gang. Despite being a sympathetic character, her final action hurt the people she cared the most ab

John is not without his downsides, however. Because the sequel is much larger and robust than its predecessor, John has less to do in his own game. This is completely remedied in Red Dead Redemption 2 once the player takes control of John, but for the majority of a player's time with the character they just have less options. In a series made to display every aspect of a cowboy's life, John's game fails to deliver in the more mundanely detailed challenges of the Old W

Like any game developed by Rockstar, there were a ton of expectations on L.A. Noire 's shoulders prior to its initial 2011 release. Early trailers for the game intrigued players with its combination of a quincuncial Rockstar open-world and innovative detective mechan

Javier's role in Red Dead Redemption is again similar to Williamson, although in Escuela's case he now works for the Mexican Government . When facing his own capture (or possible death) at the hands of John, his last ditch effort for freedom is to offer to give both Williamson and Dutch's locations to John. Considering these are the same people that he sided with years prior, it demonstrates that Javier would sell out anyone if it meant he could survive. Since Javier remained selfish throughout his life, he was never able to find redempt

Many of Red Dead Redemption 2 's characters may not have found themselves on this list if it weren't for Micah Bell. Micah is the engine that cause the downfall of the van der Linde gang, through both his manipulation of Dutch as well as his correspondence with the Pinkertons. From his introduction it is easy for players, as well as Arthur, to see that Micah is a bad man. By the time the rest of the gang can come to this conclusion, the damage has already been done. Not only does Micah's eventual death keep him from redemption, but based on what players see in the epilogue of Red Dead Redemption 2 , it appears he never felt an ounce of regret for the things he had d
