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.

Yet in the hardest of times Dutch starts to believe John is a rat, and at a later time even insults John’s family. This begs the question, why didn’t John just finish the job before it started. John, Sadie, and Charles had Dutch outnumbered and outgunned after the death of Micah, and they let him walk. In John’s next encounter with Dutch instead of killing him, leaves him to commit suicide. Was there still a feeling of love and appreciation there or why exactly did John give him the cha

However, particularly bold players can raid the opposing team’s base for supplies instead of going to this location, lending an erratic air to the proceedings. Plunder excels when players have a coordinated team going for supply runs to both locations at the same t
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.

It doesn’t show up in your inventory and is maybe mentioned one or two times afterwards. But for the most part, it’s completely forgotten about. Granted, the way the story was going, it was extremely unlikely this would have changed Arthur’s ultimate fate, but the fact that the medicine mysteriously vanishes seems like an uncharacteristic oversight from Rockstar Gam

Perhaps most important of all, Arthur convinced John to run. While John also saw Dutch’s increased immorality and corruption, it was Arthur who finally convinced him to take his family and leave the gang behind. This conversation comes while the two are planting dynamite on Bacchus Bridge, knowing full well that this is the last time the gang works together.
