Lenny was a young outlaw eager to make a name for himself that also loved to have a good time and chat with the rest of the Van der Linde crew. His saloon mission was one of RDR2 's comedic highlights, and he provided some of the best conversations in the game, like talking to Arthur about his white privilege and teaching Sean MacGuire how to r  
Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch's young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch's plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti  
He rode a Mustang named Maggie in Red Dead Redemption 2 , a breed known for its work ethic and surefootedness. Unfortunately, confidence resulted in Lenny's shocking death during a San Denis bank robb  
Red Dead Redemption 2 's Van der Linde gang leader was a showman incarnate whose boundless charisma inspired those around him even when he didn't have any hope in his plan. RDR2 's plot was centered around the spiraling downfall of Dutch as he got his allies in exponentially more trouble with each convoluted heist plan. His lavish mount, an albino Arabian steed he called The Count, is an incarnation of the calm, composed, and elegant façade he kept throughout the most hectic parts of Rockstar's West  
While the first Red Dead did have some cadence of the outlaw lifestyle, players never got the full gang experience. Rockstar made up for this in the very first chapter of Red Dead 2 when the gang robs a train owned by the oil baron Leviticus Cornw  
Arthur Morgan is a misanthrope at heart. He just really hates people. It's possible to antagonize random people on the street, and sometimes Arthur will ask them, "You want trouble?" This will either result in the person pleading with Arthur to stop or chastising him and fighting b  
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  
By contrast, Red Dead 1 opens much more slowly, yet with a remarkable display of bravado and stupidity from its protagonist. Forced to confront his old gang members in order to save his family, John goes to meet Bill Williamson, who's hiding out in Fort Mercer with a gang of his  
_Red Dead Redemption 2 _ had one of the most colorful casts of characters Rockstar Games has created. The Western followed the story of a life-long outlaw, Arthur Morgan, a high-ranking member of the Van der Linde gang , a group of bandits on the run from the law after a botched steamboat robbery. Through their adventures across the American frontier, players get to know the Van der Linde crew. Each gang member's disposition shined in conversations with Arthur, but they were also reflected by the horses they choose to r  
Rockstar has been one of the most acclaimed developers of this generation, largely for the incredible narratives it creates. While the GTA franchise is certainly Rockstar's crown jewel, the studio's most impressive narrative is arguably the story told throughout Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 treasure maps Dead Redemption 2 _ . Choosing to move back in time with RDR2 made a lot of sense given how the original game ended. Making a direct sequel would have been tricky at the least, but beyond that, Rockstar's decision to move back in time actually changes the overall direction of the entire franchise and possibly for RDR3 as w  
To the west of Red Dead Redemption 2's Van Horn Trading Post, a mumbling man can be found on the ground repeating the name of his village, Butcher’s Creek. After returning the man to the village, Arthur will meet Obediah Hinton, the local village elder. Suddenly the sick man will try to attack Arthur, but is shortly knocked
