It's hard to believe that Gavin is real or even alive when one considers the lies that Nigel has told Tom in the letter. The first clue is " A pair of boys from little old Maidenhead, Berkshire. " If Gavin and Nigel are from Berkshire, then they are not Londoners, which Nigel claims to passersby. Tom also confirms in the letter " I remember when the height of your ambition was pretending you were a Londoner " showing that this isn't the first time Nigel has lied about being from Lon

The prospect of encountering a zebra, tiger, and a lion near the swamps is pretty exciting - so it’s easy to be underwhelmed at finding a dressed-up donkey, and a dog playing a tiger. But Red Dead never leaves its players disappointed - which is why the lion isn’t quite as phony as his common-or-garden counterpa

Josiah was a slick trickster that came and went as he saw fit throughout Red Dead Redemption 2's plot. He was known for his unmistakable elegance in the way he dressed, perfectly matched by his leopard-spotted steed, an Appaloosa named Gwyd

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

_Red Dead Redemption 2 _ 's campaign has cemented itself as one of the most immersive Western RPGs ever released. Its expansive open-world, countless side missions, and endless customization options are all frosting on Rockstar Games' enthralling narrative that details the escapades of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang . The nearly 50-hour-long story unfolds over several lengthy chapters, which are all vastly different from one another. But which of the game's chapters are the best, and which are lackluster in compari

A rumor in Rhodes has it that both families have vast stashes of gold and riches hidden somewhere in the region. Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthew hatch a plan to warm up to both families, then sneakily escalate tensions so they can make off with the gold when the fighting reaches a climax. Arthur and the crew embark on shadowy missions to gain the favor of the Grays and Braithwaites while also sabotaging them behind their backs. When it seems that Dutch's plot might go off without a hitch, it becomes clear that the gang was being played the whole t

In Tom's letter to Nigel, he says " I saw that bloke Brian Gold the other day, in the market. He said some real odd things about you. " Perhaps this is referring to rumors of Nigel and Gavin's relationship, and that they are more than just friends. Even in Nigel's own words, he admits that " One morning, I just woke up and he just wasn't there... someone must have taken him. " Maybe Nigel knows the bigotry of the 19th century and assumes Gavin was kidnapped and killed for his sexuality. Or, Gavin might have eloped with another cowboy and moved

While it’s easy to draw some of the side quests out over a few gaming sessions, this stranger encounter is too fun and intriguing not to do in one sitting. Margaret, a circus performer, has crashed his caravan and lost three exotic animals in the pastures near Bluewater Ma

The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn't. A hero's demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption 2 Updates Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va

Chapter 5 of Red Dead Redemption 2 takes players to an exotic location, but is off-beat and seems rushed compared to the tens of hours of character development and world-building done in segments like Chapter 3. This portion of the story kicks off after the crew's attempted bank robbery in San Denis ends in a disaster. Gang members like Hosea and Lenny Summers are killed , and John is arrested. Arthur and other key Van der Linde gang members escape onto a boat with all of the riches they can carry, but more disaster awaits t

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
