Why Red Dead Redemption 3 Should Mirror The Star Wars Prequels
But this is a Rockstar game, and Rockstar games aren't known for having morally sound protagonists. Depending on how he's played, Arthur Morgan can be downright unlikable, as is evident through these horrifying li
Arthur is simply threatening Archie with death, and he utters it in the coolest and most poetic way possible. It also proves that Arthur is a malicious villain, threatening a young teenager with death after viciously assaulting his father (and possibly causing his dea
Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch's young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch's plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti
By contrast, Red Dead 1 opens much more slowly, yet with a remarkable display of bravado and stupidity from its protagonist. Forced to confront his old gang members in order to save his family, John goes to meet Bill Williamson, who's hiding out in Fort Mercer with a gang of his
Location: West Elizabeth between 8 PM and 3 AM
Stalking the forests of Ambarino and West Elizabeth, the Skinner Brothers care not for gender, ethnicity, or even status, for all they want to do is kill people in the most brutal and unimaginably sadistic ways. The Skinner Brothers are savage animals that will hunt and brutalize their victims for no reason other than the fact that they feel like
The second most violent train robbery in Red Dead Redemption 2 Tricks Dead Redemption 2 happens just before the gang’s transition from the ice-cold mountainside cabins to the lush and warm Horseshoe Overlook. Dutch has found some of the O’Driscolls' plans and decides to make them his own. This action ultimately leads to Dutch making an enemy of Cornw
Red Dead Redemption 2 's Van der Linde gang leader was a showman incarnate whose boundless charisma inspired those around him even when he didn't have any hope in his plan. RDR2 's plot was centered around the spiraling downfall of Dutch as he got his allies in exponentially more trouble with each convoluted heist plan. His lavish mount, an albino Arabian steed he called The Count, is an incarnation of the calm, composed, and elegant façade he kept throughout the most hectic parts of Rockstar's West
As he saves Brooks, he tells him who exactly he is, and asks, in a low voice, "Should I have killed you, Jimmy Brooks?" This cutscene is crucial, as it reminds players that Arthur isn't just the sweetheart cowpoke they've come to know: he's still very much the same ruthless outlaw he always
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
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
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
For Anakin Skywalker, his motivator was the love for his family. Anakin's inability to prevent his mother's death and his fear of losing Padme exacerbate his transformation, but the seeds of this change were present even before. Anakin was always brash and struggled to control his emotions, often acting in the moment without thinking through his actions. Dutch's love is more abstract than loving another person, but the love of an ideal is just as powerful and dangerous if it's not pursued with care. Dutch is not without the motivations of wanting a family, though. Little is revealed about Dutch's life before the gang , but the pieces that RDR2 does show displays his longing for a family that is free of the burdens of the front
