The conflicts are certainly different for Anakin and Dutch, the outcomes even more so, but the nature of their stories is still very similar. They are both characters who bring about the very things they are trying to avoid in their quest for the life they want. Blinded by selfishness and greed, they each make mistake after mistake not realizing they are creating their own downfall, from rushing into situations without proper planning to trusting people they know they shouldn't. A hero's demise and the rise of a villain are timeless tales in every form of literature, and Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ already set in motion that narrative for Dutch. This, paired with the fact that moving forward in time with RDR3 presents massive struggles, makes continuing the prequel trajectory an ideal fit. Doing so gives fans the opportunity to see a young Dutch van der Linde in a similar way that Star Wars fans saw the boy who would one day become Darth Va

It’s difficult not to judge after getting duped by a man who’s in love with his horse. This offbeat side mission from the original Red Dead Redemption 2 Mods Dead Redemption sees John head off on a "mercy mission" to rescue Lucy, Jeb’s lamented l

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 _ . 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

In Tom's letter, Nigel's mother is mentioned, and it says how she misses him, especially after the loss of Nigel's father. More interestingly, the letter continues, talking about how Gavin's mother was also happy and expressed doubts about Nigel, saying that " she knew her boy would see sense or make sense or something eventually. " Could Gavin and Nigel's mother be one and the same? There is no mention of Gavin's father, as Nigel's own is deceased. Perhaps this big move to America and Gavin's identity was created purely from the loss of Nigel's father. A piece of evidence within the letter could be: " I saw that bloke Brian Gold the other day, in the market. He said some real odd things about you. " Perhaps Brian was mocking Nigel's disorder, something that Tom didn't take kindly

Nigel is also living a fabricated life, as he has written to Tom and told him that Gavin and himself are " rich and living in big mansions with servants ". Clearly, that isn't the case, otherwise, Nigel wouldn't be wandering the plains of America shouting his friend's name. Perhaps Nigel and Gavin did come to America together, but the untamed nature of the Old West made Gavin decent prey for gunslingers, and he is now in a wooden box somewhere in the desert, leaving Nigel to falsify his fate in an attempt to manipulate himself to believe that Gavin isn't dead. Or, perhaps life in 19th-century America and the unfamiliar heat has driven Nigel ins

" A Bright Bouncing Boy " focuses on Red Dead Redemption 2 inventor Marko Dragic , who is desperate to secure investors for his various experiments and creations. The Stranger Mission's first mission appears in Saint Denis' park, where players will be able to take control of a remote control boat and fire on targets. It's an enjoyable display, despite Marko's pushy dialogue and desperation. If players complete the encounter, they can enjoy more of these modern advancements by visiting the Doverhill Laboratory. However, Saint Denis is a place ripe for the taking, with rich citizens to rob, amazing horses to steal, and main story missions all located away from the park. Even if players are looking for a break from society, there are more appealing places with wipe open spaces to explore than the park in Red Dead Redemption

Steeped in Greek mythology, this side mission is filled with foreshadowing - so players kind of know what’s going to happen before it does. Not that that takes any of the fun out of it. In the myth, Daedalus created the wings that led to his son Icarus plunging to his death after flying too close to the sun. Even the mission title is filled with punny forebod

For Anakin Skywalker, his motivator was the love for his family. Anakin's inability to prevent his mother's death and his fear of losing Padme exacerbate his transformation, but the seeds of this change were present even before. Anakin was always brash and struggled to control his emotions, often acting in the moment without thinking through his actions. Dutch's love is more abstract than loving another person, but the love of an ideal is just as powerful and dangerous if it's not pursued with care. Dutch is not without the motivations of wanting a family, though. Little is revealed about Dutch's life before the gang , but the pieces that RDR2 does show displays his longing for a family that is free of the burdens of the front
