RDR1 Spoilers I sometimes wish RDR1 wasn’t canon

0 Upvotes

As amazing as it was, it is hard at times to accept John's tragic fate. I wish John escaped, I wish Jack never became an outlaw, I wish John Abigail and Jack all lived a happily ever after together at Beechers Hope 😔

Discussion First playtrough of both games and I think the first was better. Spoiler

Let me explain.

I started playing read dead redemption 2 about a month ago and I took my time played slow and enjoyed the story. I was always high honor and thuss it was kinda funny that the game was trying to rectify myself whilst the only bad things I did where the things I had to do for quests.

My favorite camp was shady bell since I think that was the turning point for most camp members. But I think after finishing the game and ending high honor. Then buidling my house and finnaly starting rdr1 makes the experience so much more diffrent then people who grew up with the first game.

You know why you kill Bill, Javier and Dutch and I can't lie I realy wanted to kill Dutch after the whole Micah thing. I was kinda annoyed that he did it himself. The man had gone insane after all. But with knowing the picture and having seen the downfall with Arthur morgan I think it makes RDR way more understanding because if I hadn't had the connections with the character I don't think I would have cared about this game. Also after playing the RDR1 I did miss Mexico in RDR2 I loved that part of the map. Also the bounty hunting in both games is one of my favorite things about it.
(I did use the reality redemption mod btw.)

From the 2 main characters I did like Arthur more he had more depth and character and we see how he grows as a person and his final act makes rdr1 so much more painful. John was great definitely the conversations about loyalty and the overal story. I do think that the game should have ended with John comming home instead of killing him off but then again...

Also the characters in rdr1 where less memorable accept a couple, Bonnie and Landon Ricketts where my favorite. Compaired to side characters like Pearson or even Tilly I think you can forget the RDR1 characters pretty fast.

Some of my favourite moments of the intire story are:
Ofcourse going out drinking with Lenny doing the whole gunslingers side quest to get there picture. Getting eggs with pearson since we never do a lot with him. And the nun we speak. I also loved hunting so getting all the legendary animals was fun (not the fish haven’t even completed 1 I think) Then in RDR1 it has to be getting the kentucky horse after getting new horses. Helping the rebels take over escalare and the I know you side quests. And of course the final couple of quests where you raise Jack.

The red dead redemption series was amazing. I loved it Im probably gonna try online in the futur but I have been coronacly online for too long now.

Thank you rockstar games.

I have completed this game many times, and I just wanted to chill and roam around the map as Arthur so which part of the story would be the best or good to do that?

The Legend — Chapter 1 | The Sheriff
Set in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, The Legend follows Arthur Morgan in a different chapter of his life — as the sheriff of Armadillo.
This story explores Arthur from a different perspective, focusing on his life in the town, the people he encounters, and the choices that slowly shape the legend he becomes. Chapter 1 introduces this version of Arthur and the world around him, while also connecting to the events and characters we know from Red Dead Redemption 2.

Question RDR2 : Et si Abigail était la balance du gang de Dutch van der Linde

0 Upvotes

J’ai une thĂ©orie sur Red Dead Redemption 2 que je trouve de plus en plus suspecte : et si Abigail Roberts Ă©tait la balance qui renseignait les Pinkerton sur les activitĂ©s du gang ?
Plus j’y rĂ©flĂ©chis, plus certains Ă©vĂ©nements me paraissent Ă©tranges. Voici les Ă©lĂ©ments qui m’ont amenĂ© Ă  cette hypothĂšse.
1. Abigail voulait quitter le gang
Abigail voulait avant tout une vie normale avec John et leur fils Jack. Elle en avait assez de cette vie de criminels et voulait que sa famille puisse vivre en paix.
Mais si elle voulait vraiment s’en sortir, n’aurait-elle pas pu chercher un moyen de nĂ©gocier avec les autoritĂ©s ? En dĂ©nonçant Dutch, elle aurait peut-ĂȘtre pu obtenir la libertĂ© de sa famille et enfin tourner la page.
2. La conversation entre Milton et Arthur pendant la partie de pĂȘche
Lorsqu’Arthur emmĂšne Jack pĂȘcher, l’agent Milton l’intercepte et lui propose un marchĂ© : sa libertĂ© en Ă©change de Dutch van der Linde.
Jack assiste Ă  une partie de cette scĂšne. Je me suis donc demandĂ© si, en rentrant au camp, il avait pu raconter Ă  Abigail ce qui s’était passĂ©.
Si Abigail avait appris que les autoritĂ©s Ă©taient prĂȘtes Ă  nĂ©gocier, elle aurait pu y voir une occasion de sauver John et Jack.
Bien sĂ»r, cela suppose que Jack lui ait racontĂ© la conversation et qu’elle ait dĂ©cidĂ© d’agir Ă  partir de cette information.
3. Le braquage du train et les informations qui circulaient dans le gang
Un autre détail me fait réfléchir : qui connaissait les plans du gang avant le braquage du train ?
Si Abigail avait entendu John et Hosea parler de cette opération, elle aurait potentiellement eu accÚs à des informations importantes.
Si les Pinkerton avaient obtenu ces renseignements avant le braquage, cela pourrait indiquer qu’une personne proche du gang leur parlait.
Je me demande donc si Abigail aurait pu ĂȘtre cette personne. Le journal qui Ă©voque une balance dans le gang renforce mes soupçons, mĂȘme s’il ne permet pas Ă  lui seul d’identifier le traĂźtre.
4. La mort d’Hosea pendant le braquage de la banque de Saint-Denis
C’est l’un des Ă©lĂ©ments qui me semblent les plus troublants.
Pendant le braquage de la banque de Saint-Denis, les Pinkerton interviennent, Hosea est capturĂ© puis tuĂ© par Milton, tandis qu’Abigail parvient Ă  s’échapper.
Pourquoi les autorités ont-elles réussi à mettre la main sur Hosea, mais pas sur Abigail ?
Est-ce simplement le chaos de l’intervention, ou Abigail savait-elle quelque chose que les autres ignoraient ?
Je ne dis pas que sa fuite prouve sa culpabilité, mais je trouve cette différence intéressante à examiner.
5. La capture de John : un piÚge destiné à attirer Dutch ?
Je me suis également demandé si les autorités auraient pu utiliser John comme appùt.
L’idĂ©e serait de capturer John et de compter sur le fait que Dutch viendrait le sauver. Les Pinkerton auraient alors pu profiter de cette occasion pour capturer Dutch Ă  son tour.
Mais Dutch ne serait finalement pas venu le sauver comme ils l’espĂ©raient, et leur plan aurait donc Ă©chouĂ©.
Si les autoritĂ©s avaient effectivement prĂ©vu un tel piĂšge, cela soulĂšverait une autre question : avaient-elles obtenu des informations de quelqu’un au sein du gang ?
Et Abigail aurait-elle pu jouer un rĂŽle dans cette affaire ?
Ma conclusion
Pris sĂ©parĂ©ment, chacun de ces Ă©lĂ©ments peut avoir une explication innocente. Mais mis bout Ă  bout, ils m’amĂšnent Ă  envisager une possibilitĂ© : Abigail aurait pu vouloir quitter le gang Ă  tout prix et considĂ©rer la dĂ©nonciation de Dutch comme un moyen de protĂ©ger John et Jack.
Je ne prĂ©tends pas avoir dĂ©couvert la vĂ©ritĂ©, et je sais que certains de ces Ă©lĂ©ments restent hypothĂ©tiques. Mais je trouve que cette thĂ©orie mĂ©rite d’ĂȘtre discutĂ©e.
Alors, qu’en pensez-vous ? Abigail Ă©tait-elle simplement une femme qui voulait sauver sa famille, ou aurait-elle pu ĂȘtre la balance du gang ?
J’aimerais connaütre vos arguments, vos contre-arguments et les indices que j’aurais pu manquer !

Discussion Post for Reverend

8 Upvotes

Just finished “The Fine Art Of Conversation” in chapter 6 of rdr2 where reverend swanson leaves at the end and I have some thoughts I’d like to share. Most posts/comments I see online about reverend Swanson are usually just ripping on him for being useless or not serving any purpose in the plot of the game (and I’ll admit for a while I thought he was just drunken idiot weakling) but after a while I completely disagree.

At the beginning of the game, we meet Reverend as a sort of spineless do-gooder. Someone whose only real purpose in the group is to boost morale but even then we only ever feel as though he’s (literally) preaching from a soapbox pedestal. Chapters 2-4 he’s basically just the town drunk high on opiate all the time and making a general clown of himself

Chapter 6 (and off-screen in chapter 5) we see his character take a drastic shift into a more serious, almost respectable tone. Most of this is pretty obvious to the player but here’s my more personal take on his character;

Reverend was always supposed to embody the realist. Reverend was right about everything from the start to the point even he didn’t realize it. His substance abuse was most certainly being driven by his subconscious (or unconscious) mind being unable to cope with knowing the fact that the gang was doomed from the start. He also couldn’t live with the gravity of his own choices in being there in the first place. This is evidenced by the fact that he got himself together and cleaned up his act while the gang was falling apart. He saw the truth manifest as he watched his leaders turn rancid from paranoia and delusion and his mentors die (Dutch, Hosea) and the innocent perish (Lenny). You could even pull some biblical reference with Micah being the serpent in the garden.

While all this was crumbling around him his repressed fears and guilt surrounding his condition were all finally validated and out in the open. Him realizing this even led to him attempting to shepherd those around him to safety (the women and others in the camp) to no avail. He made the hardest choice there is to leave all that you know and venture into the unknown with nothing but the broken self to carry him along. Reverend was the good guy all along. This serves as an incredibly important plot point because it shows how Reverend was the penultimate expression of reality that the entire group scoffed at and belittled the entire time only for him to serve as a form of acceptance in the end. He rose to fortune while the gang withered. He was the expression of reality the gang was running from all along, not Milton & Ross, not the Pinkertons, not Cornwall, not the army, not civilization, but the reality of a life being what it is for the common man; sweet, simple, humility.

Reverend wasn’t weak, he just couldn’t buy into the delusion the rest of the gang held onto for so long. He tried, the fact he even stayed with the gang for as long as he did is a testament to the fact that he wanted to believe in the vision but just couldn’t get past all the lying, killing, stealing, and robbing, not to mention the total unrealistic expectation that you can make so many big and powerful enemies and expect to come out on top whilst living in the mud and tolling around in the dirt.

In the end Reverend sees his instincts validated and his reality come to life by making the choice to accept defeat and leave. He embraces change, progress, evolution, and even imperfection. He knew others wouldn’t take him seriously, he knew he was no perfect leader or grizzled gunman, he knew his resolve and convictions in life were all fluid and conditional (as they should be) and he was willing to embrace the present with dignity.

There’s more I could say about all this but for now I’d love to hear outside opinions on the matter. Let me know what you guys think!

P.s. I also have similar thoughts on Trelawny being an expression of what outlaws would become in the future (con artists, silver tongue salesmen, almost political in nature businessmen, etc.) but I’ll save that for another take

Question Bounty haunters

6 Upvotes

Hey fellers, Sometimes when I'm dealing with bounty hunters, killing one of them usually the last one gives me negative honor and it's a big drop, is that a bug? I've checked multiple time no he's not running away he's actively shooting at me when this happens and there's no horses or law dog around, any thoughts? Also i always run away when there are law dogs engaged cause i don't want to kill the dogs, is there a way around them to not get bad honor while also getting that sweet loot off the haunters? Thanks in advance cowboys
