Arthur and the Van der Linde gang end up having several other interactions with the two families over the course of the game. Hosea and Arthur attempt to sell moonshine to the Braithwaites that they recovered from the Lemoyne Raiders; the Braithwaites agreed only on the condition that Arthur and his pals give it out for free at the Rhodes saloon. Since the saloon is owned by the Gray family, it was a not-so-discreet way to detract from their business. The Braithwaites later ask the Van der Lindes to burn down the Gray’s tobacco fields, only for the gang to also agree to steal the Braithwaites’ horses in return for payment from the Grays. At the time, neither family seemed to realize the Van der Lindes are playing both si


Even when she becomes a bounty hunter you can tell she's doing it because it brings her a true feeling of control. It's a shame that it still centers on her trying to find solace among the danger, but she feels the world still owes her for what it took a


For a video game franchise centered on the theme of redemption, many of the more prominent characters never experience it in any real way. Sadie isn't a terrible person who's done unspeakable acts, but that doesn't mean she's without the possibility of redempt


The Braithwaite family didn’t immigrate to America until 1779, a full two decades behind the Grays. The clan originated in England, though it’s unclear why they eventually moved overseas. Nevertheless, within a few decades, the Braithwaites established an equally productive slave plantation, making them one of the most powerful families in the region, similar to the Grays. The abolitionists (or anti-slave) movement stood to hurt profits for both the Braithwaite and Gray families. Even though they were rivals in businesses, they attempted to join forces at the onset of the movement in order to mitigate its repercussi

From the start, everyone assumed that Red Dead Online would be a harder sell to the general consumer as it doesn't have the fast sports cars and modern perks of Grand Theft Auto . What it does have is a genuine western multiplayer experience that isn't common in the modern age of video games. As time has gone on, the mode has transformed from a lackluster product to one with lots going for it. Look for Red Dead Online to improve leaps and bounds in the coming ye


Red Dead Redemption 2 released in 2018 and in the years since fans have debated who the best characters in the game were. Outside of actually playing the game, the Red Dead Redemption sequel featured fantastic writing that displayed wonderful character arcs and growth for many of the members of the Van Der Linde g


It always feels a little bad when the games central villain outlives the game's protagonist. The fact that Arthur Morgan perished before Micah did won't ever sit right with fans. That doesn't mean the story wasn't told correctly or the events were bad, but rather it was done so well it made the players feel something. Great storytelling isn't meant to leave the audience happy or fulfilled, its job is to make them feel something. The moment an audience feels that means they've become invested in the story and have been fully immer


Micah Bell isn't the most beloved side character, but he made players hate him, and that isn't an easy feat. Let's now look at five things wrong with Micah Bell's story and five ways he's the best side charac


One of his best lines was a reply to Uncle where Arthur said, "As long as we get paid or you get shot, I'm happy." He was implying that even if the job was a bust he'd enjoy seeing Uncle get shot due to how annoying Arthur often though he was. Of course, he didn't want it to happen, but it made a solid j


The Grays originated as British Loyalists in Scotland, who snitched on Jacobite supporters during the 1745 uprising. The family eventually uprooted and moved to North America a year later. Their lives were under threat after Jacobites began hunting down and taking revenge on British informants, so when they eventually made their home in Scarlett Meadows in 1957 the family lied about their past and made it appear as though they had been pro-Jacobite during the conflict. The Grays eventually found financial success in the slave trade by mass-producing cotton and toba

Red Dead Redemption 2 has a narrative that's entertaining, well-written, and executed exceptionally. It also happens to end in a place that feels frustrating and heartbreaking for the player. Arthur was a man of his word who believed in loyalty, as long as it didn't endanger others. By the end, it's clear the narrative wants to spotlight how delusions of grandeur and greed will often overpower loyalty and history between people. Arthur was a beacon of hope, and Micah was a beacon of cold-hard real

Rockstar Games not only crafted a superb narrative, but they also crafted an Open world game maps world that feels rich with detail and activity. Even if you were the type of player who took their time and didn't rush through the story, chances are there were areas you didn't explore fu
