Red Dead Redemption 2: 25 Wild Revelations About Arthur and John’s Relationship

Maybe a little obvious, but playing through missions and completing objectives is a tried and true way to level up in Red Dead Online . Thankfully, the mode offers a variety of challenges, including stealing horses, lassoing enemies, and robbing trains — though some of these missions don’t always make sense . As we mentioned before, these challenges are best taken on in a group, but even if you’re a lone wolf there’s still a lot to be gained from finishing the game’s many missi

The great thing about prequels is that we learn a lot about characters we thought we knew. We grew to love John Marston throughout Red Dead Redemption , and we thought we knew all there was to know about him. That is, until Red Dead Redemption 2 came along, and we realized that we barely knew him at

The Van Der Linde gang used to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. The gang’s gradual decline is never more visible than their partnership with Leopold Strauss. Strauss gives terrible loans to folk with barely any money, and when they can’t pay, Arthur Morgan appears on collections duty. Without a doubt though the gang’s first step to becoming lost was doing business with Mr. Stra

Josiah simply has no loyalty to anyone. He repeatedly abandons the gang for long periods of time and returns when he sees fit. Arthur Morgan states while riding with Charles Smith that Trelawny “would sell his own sister to save a train fare.” Josiah Trelawny is many things, but an honorable man he is

Arthur and John’s relationship is the heart of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Yes, the story is primarily about Arthur’s redemption, but it is through their relationship that we see the redemption taking place. And just as Arthur changes throughout the story, so too does John. Both start the story as immoral and violent men, and both end in better places having gone through their respective redemptive arcs. One could certainly argue that the “redemption” of Red Dead Redemption 2 is about both John and Arthur. Yes, John had his redemption in the first game as well, but hey, no one said that life is one straight p

Bill Williamson is very proud of his military service, he is not so proud, however, of being dishonorably discharged for deviancy and attempted murder. Williamson is a man that is constantly trying to prove himself, which often leads to mistakes and bloodshed. For example, Bill’s meeting with Sheriff Gray of Rhodes leads to an ambush and the unfortunate death of Sean Macquire. The final straw is when Bill sides with Dutch and Micah over Arthur and John knowing full well that Micah is the rat. He was dishonorably discharged from the military and had a dishonorable exit from the Van Der Linde g

Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l

A bottle can consume a person, and that is exactly where Karen Jones’s story leads. Karen starts off a productive member of the gang even taking the lead on a bank robbery but soon falls deep into depression. Following the death of a Sean Macquire, Karen spends the rest of her days drinking. She may have once been an honorable person, but has given up entirely. Tilly Jackson even suggests to John long after the gang breaks up that Karen possibly drank herself to de

Dutch starts Red Dead Redemption 2 in an honorable light, even after the Blackwater Massacre. His long-time gang members try and defend his actions, but soon enough his true character comes to light. It is quickly revealed that Dutch killed a Blackwater woman in terrible fashion. This deed is followed up with his brutal drowning of Angelo Bronte, and merciless choking of a woman in Guarma. Dutch might have once been an honorable man, but by the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , the player will realize just the kind of man he
