Stupid Question from start of game.

[Ihateeverybody]

Why was John Getting off a Boat? Is that ever explained? Its been about 10 years or more since I played.

His farm is Just down the Road from Blackwater

My best guess would be he got brought to Washington by the Feds.

the pinkertons are holding his family hostage. they are blackmailing him to go after his old gang members in exchange for him and his familys freedom. he starts talking about this at the beginning of the game when talking to bonnie and her dad. this story unfolds as the game goes on.

Naw, I know the story. I just don't know why he was on that riverboat. It didn't look like the Federallies (they weren't pinkertons, that was II) came with him.

So Not sure where he was. It just seems odd. Only thing I can think of is they incarcerated him, until he was willing to do what they wanted and whereever it was (Any number of choices, most likely (Can't remember the name of the big city in II)

The rough sequence of events is probably:
- They pick up the Marstons about four years after American Venom (RDR1 is 1911, RDR2's epilogue is 1906), arresting all of them for crimes committed during RDR2
- They ship them to Sisika Penitentiary off the shore of Saint Denis for processing - this is likely where Abigail and Jack stay the entire game; potentially Uncle, although some dialog suggests they just overlooked him
- They ultimately make a deal with John, "hunt down the remaining members of the Van der Linde gang or we'll kill your family"
- They ship him with Ross and Fordham to Blackwater and put him on the train from there to Armadillo to track Bill Williamson, the last area his gang was known to operate in

With the exception of Abigail and Jack being incarcerated at the Penal Colony, and them overlooking Uncle, we'll go with as the most plausible.

Charging Abigail with something is the most likely scenario. There was concern she was one of the likely informants in II. She was there at the scene of the Pinkerton Slaughter at that one town near the end of the gang. So she could be charged with their deaths as an accessory after the fact.

Abigail killed Agent Milton - they likely specifically charged her with that, or as an accomplice seeing as she was in the general vicinity of many of their crimes.

They apparently completely ignored Uncle, I checked - it was likely they had nothing to hold him on. Alternatively, he wasn't written to be a part of Dutch's gang in RDR1.
