We’ll Follow Dutch van der Linde’s Descent Into Madness
It looks clear after three trailers that we are a follower not a leader in this motley crew of cowboys – at least at the start of the game, anyway. We’re a member of Dutch’s crew, and we know from Red Dead Redemption what the fate of the gang is. The government is going to win this battle over the wild west, and it’s a fact that eventually breaks Dutch’s spirit.
Expect to watch Dutch slowly lead everyone in his gang down a path of no return. He will likely justify one increasingly brutal move after another in order to preserve his dream of a truly “free” state of living. Like a cornered animal, he’ll do whatever it takes to preserve himself and his ideals. If we didn’t already know that Morgan was going to be the protagonist, you’d be forgiven for thinking this string of three trailers was about the villains of Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s been that dark.
