Red Dead Redemption. Atonement through a bloody end. John and Arthur were bad men who went good, they tried, but the law doesnβt forgive and people donβt forget. John redeemed himself so his family could live without fear of another gunfight looming over their shoulders. Arthur redeemed himself through all the canonical good deeds he did on top of helping John escape. They died for their redemption, they have to die for it. A prequel game with younger Arthur or Dutch or any of the other deceased gang members will never work because they already died in both games. You canβt have Dutch as the protagonist redeem himself at the end of a prequel then pull that shit he does in the first two games. Hosea never needed to be redeemed, he was already a good man. The same goes for Charles and Sadie who people seem to really want a game about. Charles was always a good person and Sadie enjoys violence but she seems to only direct it at criminals which society is ok with. They need sins to atone for if they are going to be an rdr protagonist.
Tldr: the reason anyone other than John and Arthur will never be an rdr protagonist is because they already died as the criminals they were or were good enough to not need redemption anyway
... that cough is gonna do that poor fella in.
Never have I been bait and switched so hard.
I was arrested for a small crime that I didn't wanna pay the bounty for and a cutscene with Hosea played and I got out of jail without having to wait or pay a fine, I had no clue that was even a thing, has anyone else had anything like this happen?
Hosea is my favourite character, second to Arthur. I just realized how R* was able to write characters so well that it made it so I have a completely different opinion of him by the end. I went through my second playthrough, and I realize in chapter one, when Hosea kept suggesting to go west, and saying things along the lines of "what are we doing here", my first opinion of him was that he was afraid and a wimp, just wanting to leave and have nothing to do with the gang. In later chapters, my whole view changed. I have so much respect for the guy, he might as well be one of the wisest member.
In the hunting mission with hosea in chapter 2 I get this exact glitch every time I try it, and it stops me from moving forward because I can't move. I haven't been able to find any other examples of this glitch posted online, and haven't been able to find a solution, so I'm hoping someone here knows how I can fix this. Video clip of the glitch
I think that was really cool and adds to the immersion why you don't end up getting hung or sent to the Pinkertons
So i had a bounty of $215 dollars and only had around $2 so i let the cops in saint denis take me in hoping that it would just take what little money i had and wipe the rest for "time served" and right after they took me it showed Hosea coming into the jail with 3 bottles of booze and then both of us coming out and him saying get out of here before someone sees you
I was looking through the genealogy of Noah and noticed Japheth has a son named Gomer- which is also the name of Hosea's prostitute wife that was used as an allegory for Israel. I wonder if these things are at all connected?
Like didn't hosea see Sean as an idiot. why did he bring Sean then. if something was to go wrong he was relying on Sean to get him out of it. just a bit weird
I did this by accident and after I got back in the boat I never could get the cutscene where they all get ready to fish to activate, I eventually had to just drown myself and start over from the checkpoint. It wouldn't let me select a fishing rod or anything.
The woman names βSuzanneβ never approached me. Anyone know where she is so i can get that Hosea mission?
I know it's Silver Dollar but I feel like he should have called it 'Horsea'.
This old fart is ruthless. And I'm not talking about his dislike for my dog Alain.
Yesterday he sent me on a supply run to Emerald Ranch. It resulted in five ranch hands dying because they threw themselves in front of my bullets. I return to Cripps with the supplies, and he sends me on a sales run. To Emerald Ranch! Literally 10 minutes after I just murdered half the work force I'm back flogging my wares there.
That's economics 101 right there, Cripps. Steal the supply, create the demand, profit.
Cripps is hardcore.
