Red Dead Redemption 2
TheRed Dead Redemptionseries may travel along the adventure of the Van der Linde mob , but it provide very small context as to how the gang was formed or the backstory of its ringleaderDutch Van der Linde . That ’s why succeeding installments in the franchise , such as aRed Dead Redemption 3 , should focus mainly on Dutch ’s story .
TheoriginalRed Dead Redemptionallows player to step into the shoes of John Marston as he ’s tasked with hunting down several of his old gang members . The second game , Red Dead Redemption 2,acts as a prequel by provide circumstance regarding the events that lead to the fracture - up of the gang through the eye of new serial protagonist Arthur Morgan .
But , as of now , none of theRed Dead Redemptiongames have properly explored how the Van der Lindes were launch in the first place . It ’s evident thatDutch had a patternfor pick out mob members — many of the members only occur to be associate after they tried robbing or conning Dutch first . But this still does n’t deal how the ringleader went from being reverence and revered to head game and erratic .
Dutch Should Be RDR3’s Main Character
A third installment could depend at how Dutch plant the mob alongside Hosea Matthews , in accession to exploring what he was up to before becoming the leader of an infamous gang . It should clarify how Dutch set out out as witching and convincing , but as metre progressed , he became increasingly delusional and irregular , particularly before the gang disbanded . A third installment would also leave an opportunity to bring back beloved character from past game , like John orArthur Morgan , and explore how they became associated with the gang in the first place . Both John and Arthur were teenagers when Dutch cull them up , so younger versions of themselves could be play back to provide more perceptiveness into their history .
It ’s not only that a third installment in the franchise could provide more backstory as to how the gang spring ; another reason to look at the crowd ’s history is that there is n’t much to work with going forward . Most of the main gang member are dead by the end of bothRed Dead Redemptiongames , let in Dutch , Arthur , and John , so any fresh instalment would in all likelihood have to incorporate new characters if it is n’t going to play as a prequel . moreover , the wild west was drastically alter at the go of the 20thcentury , so the series would have better fortune sticking to a western theme if it go back in sentence rather than forward . RDR2set a precedent by acting as a prequel to the first biz , so it would n’t feel out of situation if a third game went back even earlier in time to work as a prequel to the prequel .
There are a variety of strong reason why aRed Dead Redemption 3should center on Dutch and the source of the Van der Lindes , but given how long it takes to develop Rockstar ’s games and that nothing has been confirmed about a new instalment , players will just have to sit tight .
