Even if you have never played either Red Dead Redemption game, it's clear that horses play a major role, and to ensure that the movements were as realistic as possible, the creators went above and beyond. The team actually motion-captured a stunt horse, which isn't the easiest thing to do as they managed to record as many possible movements, although this brought with it plenty of probl
With age comes wisdom and respect, which the rest of the gang had in bulk for him. It's a real shame that out of all of the members, Hosea was captured and chosen as the example to set for Agent Melton and the
Unfortunately for him his uncle passed away from a heart attack and left him alone in unfamiliar territory. This is where his schemes began as Strauss started swindling people out of their own money to make a liv
Shepard might just be the friendliest space captain out of every major science-fiction franchise. On top of helping out her immediate friends, she gains the trust of a telepathic alien hive mind, gets the Geth and the Quarians to set aside their differences and agree to a truce, and even manages to earn the respect and admiration of a race of war-torn lizard people like the Krogans. She's so cool that everyone even sets aside a random day to just hang out at the Citadel and party with her before they have to fight off the evil sentient spaceships that want to kill everyone. If she's the kind of person that makes you want to postpone the apocalypse to drink some shots with her, then it's probably safe to say she's a pretty likable badass. Unless you're a reporter, that is.
When Hosea speaks about his father he explains how the man lived a life of debauchery and sin and surprisingly managed to make it to the age of 75 before passing. He stated that he loved his dad despite only seeing him less than a handful of times in his entire life. It seems that Hosea's way of life was paying homage to his father in many w
Surprisingly Strauss stays extremely loyal and committed to the Van Der Linde gang, even in his final days. He may have bee heartless and cruel at times, but no one could ever question Strauss' loyalty to his g
The voice of the Austrian bookkeeper is provided by an actor by the name of Howard Pinhasik. Pinhasik happened to also provide much of the physical look for the character as his facial scan was used to bring Strauss to l
Westerns have been a staple of entertainment for decades and when a genre like that is explored for that many years it begins to birth tropes that permeate through multiple films. One of these tropes is the story marking the good guys with white cowboy hats and the outlaws with black ones. In Red Dead Redemption 2 , Micah Bell who's a primary antagonist sport a white hat throughout, and Arthur Morgan who's the main character and protagonist of the story wears a black one. This is meant to play with player's preconceived notions of Westerns and foreshadows the events of the game rankings opposit
However, the reality was that Redemption was actually a spiritual successor of the 2004 video game , Red Dead Revolver, with the main objective being to scale up the game to reach Rockstar's high standard. It did take on many ideas from that original game as well, focusing on the shooting mechanic and making sure the weapons from the game were inspired by real weap
Once he gets sick, he goes even further into correcting past mistakes and trying to make good with anyone he feels he hasn't treated properly. Even though he's supposed to be a degenerate black hat-wearing villain, we're pretty sure we could leave our wallet around him, and not have to worry about losing any change. He's someone we would love to go drinking with, because not only would be a ball to hang out with, he also somehow has the ability to turn a bar fight into a dancing chorus line . That's the kind of dude we want to ride with.
He shares a name which an ancient Jewish prophet from Israel, so there's a solid chance that Hosea grew up in a household which practiced the Jewish faith, but as he got older he converted over to Catholic
Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol
Strauss was born in 1946 in Austria. His old age brought him wisdom and experience when it came to manipulating people into loans taking them for all they had. He may have been cruel at times, but Strauss understood what a life without money was like, and he never wanted to experience that ag
