He was allowed to visit a number of cities and he never decided they were good enough for him to settle down in, so why would anywhere else be different? His false hope confused us and we wish he would have gone with Mary Linton so we could have seen exactly what he was talking about in terms of a better life and place to l
The fact that he survived the plagues without any issues is already suspicious enough. But if you look closely on the shelf just about his right shoulder, you can see a framed portrait of the Strange Man , the mysterious man from the first game that seemingly knew when and how John was going to die. It's implied that Moon and the Strange Man might have made some kind of deal that led to the plagues. But that's where the mystery begins and ends, with the origins of the plagues and the connection to The Strange Man being left up to interpretat
What’s particularly interesting about _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is how long it takes to get to the bulk of the story. Unlike the first _ Red Dead Redemption _ where John Marston began the game with a clear goal, Arthur Morgan is just trying to get by and live under Dutch’s rule for the first half or so of _ RDR2 _ ’s narrat

The last train job, the final heist of them all. In the heat of the robbery, John is shot, and Arthur witnesses him fall backward off the train. The player at this point has no idea what is happening to John or how he makes it back. They know he has to be alive for the events of original Red Dead Redemption to take place, but how does he make it back?

During the conversation, Agent Milton finds the camp and approaches them making dema
She doesn't show up in the epilogue, and the only hint about her ultimate fate is a letter you can receive from Tilly. It implies that Karen eventually succumbed to her alcoholism. What actually happens is never made clear. For a game that is very deliberate about its world and its characters, it's strange that the fate of one of the most prominent women in the camp is made unclear. This has led many to believe it's a noticeable omission from the developers. Are they planning to do more with the character in a future game or DLC? Only time will t

Why appear to John, what did John have to offer this mysterious stranger. The Strange Man even knows John’s burial site before John is killed. There are numerous unanswered questions revolving around the Strange Man in the Black Top Hat, and his connection to J
Most would assume being a bandit since the age of 11 would involve all kinds of daring getaways and escapes. Including running, jumping, maybe even swimming. Yet as it turns out John Marston never learned to swim. Arthur can swim, Dutch can swim, most of the entire camp can swim even Jack appears to be an able swimmer, but it just never happened for John. Did John believe this skill simply wasn't beneficial or was he never given the chance to learn? There is some explaining that needs to be done h
John fed up with Dutch’s talk, demands What Plan, what Goddamn plan Dutch? It appears John has had enough of Dutch’s beating around the bush. In a mocking attempt to answer his own question John even starts naming locations to run too "Tahiti? Timbuktu?" Javier retorts "Enough what happened to loyalty?" To which John responds "Yeah, What d
