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
Except she didn’t rat the gang out at all, she lied simply to get a rise out of Dutch. Whether or not she did so to pull off a “suicide by cop” scenario is left unclear (and for the better, honestly,) but it’s one of the more layered, nuanced spoilers in the g
Leaving one’s entire life behind can be quite a crazy experience. When John left the gang and his old life behind for a year before coming back, what exactly did he do? Managing to eat and survive takes a multitude of skills, he was either robbing on his own or maybe John learned a trade to make some legal money. Maybe it was easier going it alone, and he just missed his family. What took place during this time, and the reason he came back still isn’t clearly sta
He could have been self-taught, but what made him decide to pick up a journal and start tracking the events of his horrible life? He never expected anyone to read it and in the end, it all seemed like a pointless vent
Arthur Morgan was supposed to leave the gang after his last heist and run away with Mary, but the ship was destroyed and he ended up stranded on Guarma instead. The question we all have is about why he didn’t go after Mary when he came back h
Saint Denis, a city of great opportunity and arguably where the Van Der Linde gang finally died off in a sense. Right-hand man to Dutch and fellow leader of the group, Hosea Matthews was gunned down as a personal message right in front of Arthur and Dutch during a failed bank robbery. Hosea was the first to go, and Lenny shortly after while escaping on the rooftop. The question is why wasn’t John dealt the same fate Hosea was. He was captured by lawmen in the chaos and spared. Both men could’ve been sent to Sisika Penitentiary, but only John made
While Hosea being killed is certainly the moment where things turn from bad to worse for Arthur Morgan, he at least has the hope that he can get back home and live something resembling a normal life. Unfortunately, once returning from Guarma, Arthur is diagnosed with a case of tuberculosis that’ll end up killing him sooner rather than la
This weird NPC story comes from the acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 . This entry is unique in that it requires you to invest a large block of time in meeting this tormented NPC character. During the night, in Bluewater Marsh, the ghost of a mysterious woman appears named Ag
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
While no member of the Van Der Linde gang is completely innocent, Mary-Beth seems to be the closest. She is someone for Arthur Morgan to talk to and often suggests that it is never too late to change. Mary-Beth can be seen again during the epilogue at a train station in Valentine where she reveals to John she has become a writer. She is one of the only gang members to reform and change themsel
The bank heist is the moment _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ ’s story irreversible changes. In one fell swoop, John Marston is left to die (for the first time) and Hosea dies. Dutch’s clear foil, Hosea, kept the gang more or less grounded in the face of Dutch’s more bombastic personality. More importantly, Hosea kept Dutch in-l
Her cries can be heard as you edge toward her in the swamp. So, why is she there crying? That’s your job to find out. If you visit her between 9 PM and 3 AM 16 times you can see the horror story that led to her spending the rest of her days in a sw
Javier is a very loyal man, and that is what got him to the better half of this list. That same loyalty, though, is his downfall. Dutch found Javier stealing chickens and open world games Weapons saved him. Javier never forgot this, leading to absolute blind loyalty for Dutch. If any gang member second guesses Dutch’s orders, Javier takes offense. Upon news of Micah’s betrayal, Javier draws his gun on both Arthur and John. In the end, he chose to go down a dishonorable path with dishonorable
