It’s a good question - but everyone knows the answer. And John’s happy enough to source actors for MacKenna’s movie, so maybe he, too, thinks it’s kind of a cool idea. Either way, MacKenna gets pretty much what he deserves at the end of this miss
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
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
After a failed attempt to blow up the tracks and halt the train from heading inside a tunnel, the gang must race across the snowy hills to the backside and hop down onto the moving train as it leaves the opening. It's then that Arthur and Lenny traverse their way across the train cars in a shootout with Cornwall’s guards as they head for the engine to stop the train. After shooting through the guards and putting a stop to the train, more guards emerge from the back of the train and in the surrounding hills. A massive shootout between the gang and the scores of Cornwall’s men erupts until there are no guards left standing. At the end of the mission, after blowing up the sealed metal doors with dynamite, Arthur also has the option to spare or kill the last of Cornwall’s men. This decision is solely up to whichever side of honor the player is shooting
Arthur is often put in a position where he slaves away for other people, and by Chapter 4, he is exhausted and beginning to seriously question everything he's been fighting for . That's when he gets blindsided research by the staff of Regiprocess his ex-fiancé, Mary Linton, who implores him to run away with her and to leave it all beh
The zebra can be found northwest of the starting location, grazing under a tree. Once Arthur lassoes the animal, it becomes apparent that it is not a zebra at all but rather a mule painted to look like a zebra. Arthur continues to help looking for circus animals, and Margaret informs him that his assistant is looking for the others. Meeting up with the assistant, Arthur agrees to look for the l
**Red Dead Redemption 2’s ** world is a place in which lawlessness has overstayed its welcome in the changing Wild West. Outlaws are on their way out, and included in that is the Van Der Linde gang. As RDR2's Arthur Morgan himself says , " We’re thieves in a world that don’t want us no more. " The Pinkertons are on the hunt and hot on the trail of the gang, which means the Van der Lindes should be lying low. However, as fans of RDR2 already know, there’s always a need for more mo
Although John enjoyed his friendship with Bonnie MacFarlane , at times, her jabs hit a bit too close to home. In a cutscene that many players consider to be the best in the first game, John makes it very clear to her that while he leads a rough lifestyle at the moment, he has had a complicated, complex life, and that he's not as one-dimensional as she thinks he
He does this all by himself, thinking he can get Bill to come down with words alone. And when that doesn't work, he reaches for his gun and is promptly shot in the side. It's an interesting scene and incredibly dramatic. Without context, it also makes John seem diplomatic and brave. But with the prequel's context, players understand the truth: he's just kind of dumb sometim
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
