No matter the game rating, children are off limits. Rockstar realizes this and continuously omits children from their open world games. Young Jack proves the exception, although he does little throughout the g
The way that Nigel talks about Gavin, and would walk the plains of America for him, makes it seem like there is something more than just a friend who goes for a cheeky weekend pint. In Nigel’s own words: ” We were best mates. I mean, really best mates. He’d never leave me. Never. ” The use of the word really certainly raises a brow, and he is confident in the fact that Gavin would never leave him. After all, they came all the way from England to start a new life in America . Yet, was there a reason they left England? Could it be bigotry towards gay people at the t
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
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 _ 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
What seems like it’s going to be just-another-brawl turns out to be the best night you’ll have in your whole Red Dead experience. From bar fights to line dancing to deep conversations about life and love, it’s one of the warmest, funniest scenes you’ll play in a video g
Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled with mysteries. UFOs, ghosts, sasquatches, time travel, and all other mystical sci-fi and horror elements will have players shaking in their cowboy boots. Yet, one of the more interesting aspects is a lost Englishman who might not even be real. When combing through the game’s files, there’s nothing on Gavin, just Gavin’s friend, Nigel. All players can do is speculate and theorize on what Gavin’s fate is, and if he was even real to begin w
Nigel is also living a fabricated life, as he has written to Tom and told him that Gavin and himself are ” rich and living in big mansions with servants “. Clearly, that isn’t the case, otherwise, Nigel wouldn’t be wandering the plains of America shouting his friend’s name. Perhaps Nigel and Gavin did come to America together, but the untamed nature of the Old West made Gavin decent prey for gunslingers, and he is now in a wooden box somewhere in the desert, leaving Nigel to falsify his fate in an attempt to manipulate himself to believe that Gavin isn’t dead. Or, perhaps life in 19th-century America and the unfamiliar heat has driven Nigel ins
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 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 click for info 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
While visiting the Downes family to collect the gang’s money , Arthur turns to the grieving Archie Downes and utters the most iconic line of the entire game: “Maybe when your mother’s finished mourning your father, I’ll keep her in black. On your beha
Initially, Red Dead Redemption was a simple tale of a reformed outlaw trying desperately to turn from his wicked ways and make an honest life for his family while constantly being dragged back in because of his old gang. Following Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde Gang through RDR2, though, made the narrative a larger tale about a complete family of outlaws struggling to continue their way of life set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing frontier as the lawless West gave way to civilization. In doing so, Rockstar made the Van Der Linde Gang and its leader Dutch van der Linde the actual main characters of the franchise, which makes the perfect narrative for Red Dead Redemption 3 to explore the origins of Dutch van der Linde in a similar way the Star Wars prequels showcased the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. While the western frontier of Red Dead may not be as fraught with heroic saviors and malevolent villains, the tale of a hopeful and ambitious Robin Hood figure turned narcissistic megalomaniac is equally as compelling as the origins of Darth Va
