The argument has always been "he targeted poor people who definitely couldn't repay the loan." But wait... that's the thing about people borrowing because they don't have the money and desperately need it; that's how loans work. If you know you're unlikely to repay the money, then... don't borrow? Or should he have only lent to those with a lot of money? Well, they don't need help with lending. What do you mean, "he picks on desperate people"? Does he hypnotize them or force money into their pockets? Or maybe they see a skinny old professor and think, "Hah, what can he do to me?" Then they're doubly guilty.

Here might be the main criticism of the debt collection method, but then again, there's some justification for Arthur. If he politely asks them to repay the money, will they? No. Will he have to go to the sheriff?

You either ask them to "please repay the loan," or you take something from them. Beating them up might be unnecessary, but that's a question for Arthur, not Strauss.

To sum it up. As Tony Soprano said "You don't want it? Fine, don't take it but I'll eat it before I give it back what am I a sucker? The guy owed me money and he did the right thing and offered the car as partial payment, you want to act holier than now? You right ahead but I'm not giving it back ,I'm going to take it and sell it to Pussy and use the money to buy clothes and food and shoes and cd players and all the rest of this shit I've been buying since the day you were born, everything this family has comes from the work I do a grown man made a wager, he lost he made another one, he lost again end of story, so take that high moral ground and sleep at the fucking bus station if you want"

but after that on the cutscene, he's back on his horse again and rides it despite abandoning it just a minute ago and going there on foot LOL

wild, did not expect to see john in panties

I think Jack marston is the PERFECT and most logical protagonist for rdr3

not because he is “the next person in the family,” but because his story is the natural conclusion to the entire rdr saga.

Arthur dies, giving John a chance to live. John dies, leaving Jack behind.

And then, at the end of rdr1, Jack kills ross.

At that point, Jack has lost both of his parents. The person he blames for destroying his father’s life is dead, his revenge is complete. So what does he do now?

That should be the starting point of rdr3.

Jack has nothing left to hate, he has spent his entire life surrounded by violence. His father was an outlaw, Arthur was an outlaw, and so were Dutch, Hosea, Micah, Uncle, and practically everyone else he knew growing up was connected to that world. And now Jack himself has become an outlaw.

But after he kills Ross, there is no longer anyone left for him to blame, no one left to hunt down, no one left to get revenge on. He has finally achieved the thing he spent years moving toward. And then he has to ask himself: “Now what?”

I think the first chapter of RDR3 could take place shortly after Jack kills Ross. He is still an outlaw, but he no longer wants to live that life.

He remembers how Arthur died. He remembers how his father died. He remembers Abigail. He remembers all the people he knew as a child who died because of the outlaw life.

And eventually, Jack realizes that if he continues living the same way, he is simply repeating the same exact cycle that destroyed his family. So the game becomes about Jack trying to become his own man.

One of my favorite ideas is that Jack could have a journal, similar to Arthur’s. But Jack’s journal would be different. Arthur’s journal documents a world that is dying (ykwim). Jack’s journal would document a world that is already gone.

As Jack begins writing about his life, his father, his mother, Arthur, Dutch, and the entire outlaw world he grew up around, the journal gradually becomes a book. The book we see in franklins house in gta5: Red Dead by J. Marston.

The game could literally follow Jack writing the story of the world that created him. And by the end, he finally finishes the book.

The ending:
I think RDR3 should be the final Red Dead Redemption game. Not because Jack has to die. Actually, I think the opposite would be more powerful.

Arthur dies. John dies. Jack should be the one who finally escapes the cycle.

He kills Edgar Ross, gets his revenge, and then realizes that revenge did not give him a future. So he chooses to stop. He becomes a civilized man. He writes his book. And then, for the final scene, he returns to Beecher’s Hope, not to live there, just to visit it one last time. He walks around the ranch, he sees the barn where his father died, he remembers everything that happened.

Then he sits on the porch and watches the sunset. And the game ends.

No tragic death. Just Jack Marston, finally at peace. The symbolism would also be perfect.

Arthur dies watching the sunrise. That sunrise represents a new beginning: John gets a chance to live.

Jack watching the sunset would represent the opposite. The old world is finally ending, the Wild West is gone, the marston family’s cycle of violence is over.

And the Red Dead Redemption saga ends with Jack finally choosing how to live.

I think that could be the perfect ending to the series. Jack finishes writing Red Dead, the sun sets, cut to credits or whtvr.
And that’s it, no RDR4, the story is complete.

I might be going blind after staring at cave paintings for the last hour but that sure does look like the old cock and balls.

So I'm in Chapter 3 and I see people with Pelts and stuff, how do I make them into clothes

I’ve had rdr2 for a while and its my favourite game, so I was wondering of I should get rdr1 as well

Part 1… There are lots of these💀

i found this outfit a while ago and have been wanting to recreate it since i just haven't found the mod or clothing.

Original and Lr versions

Also im in chapter 4 so i dont think i can get any war horse with large body now and i dont want shire they are a drag to ride too

He preyed on poor people, unlike the rest of the gang, who mainly stole from people who were thieves themselves. The repayments were minimal, and he didn't even collect them himself—he didn't have the courage to do that.

He never fought alongside the gang and didn't contribute much else to the camp.

He was simply a vulture preying on poor, vulnerable people.

The only thing that surprises me is that he died in prison without ever giving up a single name.
