Red Dead Redemption 3 Storyline:

[Eggman]

I think it would be cool how Arthur, Hosea, Dutch, Micah and the rest of the gang met up. Or Arthur Morgans backstory, or one of the main characters backstory for exampe; Dutch, Hosea, Micah backstory would be cool.

[kolega_filipa]

i think it would be cool to have the action be in the earlier years of the gang,like in the 1870's and 1880's.for arthur,his story has been told,but i have no clue what the next character could be to be honest

[Bwoah]

Imagine hearing Dutch say we need money again in RDR3

[HerculeHolmes]

I think it would be cool to finally find out how Uncle contracted his terminal lumbago.

[SolidPayne]

maybe it would make for decent DLC but I wouldn't buy an entire game around that. Every good prequel has to ask an interesting question if they're not gonna star brand new characters. How does a Jedi become Darth Vader, how does Jimmy McGill become Saul Goodman, how do good friends like Charles Xavier and Eric Lehnsherr become sworn enemies, how does a happy go lucky mama's boy like Naked Snake become the most feared terrorist in the world, etc etc. So I don't really know what interesting perspective this would give when we know exactly what's going to happen to all these characters

[I ate all the wheat |HM|]

honestly I feel like rdr3 has a lot of potential with hosea and it leads up until micah joins

yey or ney fellas?

[SolidPayne]

maybe another RDR set during the civil war would be cool but I have no interest in going back to the Van Der Linde gang. When John in RDR1 tells the story of this family he use to have and their charismatic leader who went insane and it all fell apart, that sounds like a real story. This Hosea idea just sounds like background matter. There's a reason why most people hate superhero origin stories cause there usually isn't much of a story there, just filler until we get to the interesting parts

It would be pretty neat to follow up on Jack after RDR1, they probably won't go for this but I'd always imagine he got to writing novels.

I liked the idea of Jack aimlessly wandering Mexico and getting involved in revolutionary activities against Abraham Reyes.

Or Sadie Adler arriving in Panama during the construction of the Canal and embarking on an adventure through Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

They could go earlier and have you play as a young Dutch right after the civil war. Show the start of him forming his gang joining up with Hosea and young Arthur and John.

Was gonna say this. The magic of prequels is bringing back the old crew in their prime years.

I don't think you could humanize dutch in the way he would need to be humanized to be the protagonist of a red dead redemption game. He never sees redemption and is often considered a generally unlikable heinous man by the end of the series.

Way too late in time imo. it ended in 1914, by then ww1 was either just about to start or had already started (not sure what month it ended)
it needs to go back to earlier years in the "wild west"

The title and theme could be different for Dutch. The opposite of redemption. We already know how his story ends. We just don't know how his story began. It would be interesting to see what made him into the man he became in his later years. A protagonist doesn't always have to be humanized, especially in a Rockstar game. They have plenty of heinous protagonists who never redeem themselves.

I'm going to make a prediction that RDR3 will be about Uncle

[Lazarus]

Love the story- especially so when games have a dark ending to a good choice (like cyberpunk) But out of all of em', I actually wanna see the main character live, in red dead 3. Which..would be.. the kid, right?
We done watched him grow all the way up, and the story pretty much just ends with him; tying up loose ends.
But, what if it didn't stop there? Not many games explore WW1 scenarios, and would offer a really unique story and environment.
Yeah, the western feel wouldn't necessarily be present, but at the same time; you can't snuff out that way of life.
