BTW, I had never really heard the Western slang before (at least in English; when I was younger I only watched dubbed Western movies - all movies that we see on TV are dubbed in French here, otherwise a lot of people wouldn't watch them). Anyway, I find the Western slang very interesting, like when they call themselves "partner" or "feller", or how they don't really do the subject/ verb Agreement ("you was there", etc.) Western speaking styles can be attributed to poor schooling and grammar typical of the 19th century west. I finished the whole story. It's easily in the top 10 game stories for me and maybe in the top 5. The main character of Arthur is one of the most compelling in gaming- ever. Dutch gets difficult to watch past the half-way point in the story as he changes. John Marston and Abigail are more like arch-typical characters. John being the anti-hero and Abigail being a endlessly complaining, modern woman in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this style. It's raw and direct. No bullshit, they just say what they want and it comes out as it comes out. On 11/20/2018 at 4:30 PM, Cult Icon said: I finished the whole story.

And yes, definitely one of the best characters in gaming. The creators did a really good job with this guy, but I think it also has to do with his voice actor.

Then... it's another story. But the evolution is quite interesting as well. Have you seen him in Red Dead Redemption 1? He's quite the crazy guy there.

But the evolution is quite interesting as well. Have you seen him in Red Dead Redemption 1? He's quite the crazy guy there. I re-watched Dutch's scenes from RDR1. They're very short- only 10 minutes long. He has a new gang of disinfected natives. From what I gather is that Dutch had lofty ideals and then gradually lost these ideals. John Marston, later on says that the ideals were just an excuse and his/their real selves emerged. So later on Dutch and the gang members become less of a pseudo-community with law/codes and more of a gang of unprincipled thieves. The women die and/or leave. I think a lost opportunity is the lack of romantic options for Arthur. It would have made the impact of the character greater. It seems unrealistic to me that a criminal like Arthur would behave such a "gentlemanly" way . You have two female characters that do like him and make open advances : 1. Mary 2. the Widow. And others that just like him: 1. Sadie (she likes him the most out of the whole gang) 2. Mary-Beth 3. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 + A bit of a contemporary trope being inserted here on the character of Abigail. She controls the relationship and spends nearly all of the game demanding things from Jack. Also, their child is possibly not even his, as she had sex with all the male outlaws in the camp.

Cult Icon Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Another film that reminds me of Red Dead is "Open Range". The shootouts, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VS19 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Finally got Red Dead Redemption II installed on the XBox One and did the first couple of introductory missions. Very impressed with it so far. Very much looking forward to delving into it a bit more over the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
