Regardless if any of the events in the game could happen in real life, isn’t why we play the games to escape from the shithole reality of real life? You can’t say it was a shit game lol
If this game was crap why be on this fandom? Also it was my opinion as well.
Exactly, games and real life are two different things. Also the reason why Sadie pulled that off in the 1800s eas because Dutch believed that woman were equal to men. She also was killing before she joined the gang.
No one voted Aunt Susan. But she was the one of the best. She died in honor, by dishonorable way
Sadie at 58%? Lol
@Dermander True. She was also the most accurate to how most female outlaws actually were in the West. Less fiery goddesses of death, like Sadie, and more matriarchal figures / communal prostitutes, like Susan and Abigail.
Well I'm not a fan of Sadie, and Susan was too minor and boring for me to choose her.
So it's between Abigail and Bonnie. I preferred the latter of the two and always thought that she could've even worked with John had he been single (Marston did say that she was quite similar to Abigail). They developed the friendship between her and John pretty well imo so I would say she's well-written. Abigail is in both games, however, so even though I don't like her so much, she has quite an important role in both stories so it's hard to really compare them.
I found Sadie and Abigail to be extremely unlikeable. I like Susan, but she doesn't have much of a role.
Bonnie has always been a great character.
Never played rdr1 so don’t know about Bonnie, but Sadie definitely had the best character development. From widow to cold bounty Hunter living in South Africa.
@Fwjueq on tiktok But that’s just it. There was no real character development. She just spontaneously decides that she’s gonna start murdering people. She doesn’t train, she doesn’t fail, and she overcomes every situation that comes her way with minimal effort. She and her husband together could apparently not manage to fend off a small band of roughly ten O’Driscolls at their own home. Jake took a dirt nap (or a fire nap, I guess) and Sadie cowered in the wine cellar. She spends a chapter or two whining about it and moping around, being ungrateful to the gang and moody, before finally threatening to kill Pearson because he dared ask her to help pitch in around the camp, doing what the rest of the women in the camp (and the world at the time) were doing by helping maintain the living space while the men went off to work, or in this case, break the law a bunch. Arthur agrees to take her shopping, and on the way she invades Pearson’s privacy by reading his private letters. Then she almost immediately blows the gang’s cover by pulling out a gun and asking when she’s supposed to shoot the shopkeeper. Then she comes back in a stupid outfit, instigates a fight with the Lemoyne Raiders, somehow ends up winning (even though the Raiders are arguably, since they’re former military, more dangerous than the O’Driscolls that she and her husband both couldn’t beat), and rides back to camp as jolly as can be, from which point onwards she presumably also refuses to help out around camp. Later on she kills three grown, hardened, armed men twice her size with one knife. Yeah, sure Jan. She then continues to act with impunity and bend reality around her for the rest of the game, murdering people en masse and unnecessarily with no consequence, while everyone in the game bends over backwards to suck her metaphorical dick. Arthur has several entries talking about her in his journal. And who shows up again in the Epilogue but Sadie? She flat out tells a Sherrif that she killed one of her fellow bounty hunters and faces no consequences. She then goes to help John with his quest for revenge against Micah, gets stabbed in the stomach, and then quickly and quietly treks up and over multiple mountaintops and slopes with this seemingly mortal injury in order to help John in the fight at the end. There’s an epic standoff between John, Micah, and Dutch, an estranged father and son and the traitor who put the wedge between them…and Sadie. She’s there too. She’s some random stranger who the gang gracefully decides to take under its wing, to which she acts in gratefully and rudely the entire time, suddenly and without warning becomes a ruthless killer without ever facing consequences of any type, and never seems to face any struggle that she can’t survive with ease. She goes out of her way to hunt down O’Driscolls whenever she can in a vain quest for revenge, despite Arthur and Dutch (pre-crazy) both realizing and teaching the gang that revenge is a fool’s game. Revenge gets John killed. He hunts down Micah and, ultimately, pays for it with his life. Sadie does the same thing several times, and she gets to retire to South America and ride off into the sunset, as the feminists behind the screen touch themselves thinking about how strong and independent she is, and how she’s so much better than the rest of the gang. Because apparently she is. The universe has decided that she is never to face any consequences. Is there ANY justification for this? Well, she gives some weak excuse that she and her husband “Shared the work”. Hmm. They shared the work. Work shared is apparently equal to capacity for murder, ladies. So if you ever want to become a ruthless killer unbound by reality, just share the work with your husband. There ya go. Now please, H. Roosevelt, give me another temporary ban for huwting some feewings.
What do you think?
