The Braithwaite family didn’t immigrate to America until 1779, a full two decades behind the Grays. The clan originated in England, though it’s unclear why they eventually moved overseas. Nevertheless, within a few decades, the Braithwaites established an equally productive slave plantation, making them one of the most powerful families in the region, similar to the Grays. The abolitionists (or anti-slave) movement stood to hurt profits for both the Braithwaite and Gray families. Even though they were rivals in businesses, they attempted to join forces at the onset of the movement in order to mitigate its repercussi
With Ricketts’s help, John found and commandeered the wagons that were transporting the prisoners, and took them to a safer place. It was a selfless act that could’ve jeopardized Marston’s seemingly advantageous relationship with the Mexican a
They ask Arthur how he wants to be buried and after saying he doesn’t care about that nonsense, he replies , “Face me to the west so I can watch the setting sun and remember all the fine times we had that way.” Hosea, understanding Arthur does care about that nonsense, replies “See, Tilly. I told you Arthur had a so
The group initially claimed they wanted to trade her for one of their men who was incarcerated, but it was just a ruse to set up an ambush for Marston and Marshal Johnson. However, it didn’t work, as John fought through the ambushers and rescued Bonnie, who the gang was attempting to h
However, this was ultimately the beginning of their long-standing feud. In 1806, Lucille Braithwaite told Douglas Gray the location of a significant sum of gold. She also gave him permission to take the gold in order to fund abolitionist groups. Douglas then took the Braithwaite gold, as well as gold from his own family, leading both families to believe the other had stolen the money. With no family willing to admit guilt (and the full truth seemingly never coming to light) the families were locked in a bitter feud that lasted until their dem
I can’t quite shake that near-daily nagging negative voice in my head about being like my father. I’ve made mistakes, and I know that I’m going to screw up again. Probably a lot. But, I will learn from every mistake and apply it towards being a better person and father for my son. Declan will absolutely always know that he is adored and loved by his father. His Gamer
For many years Van Der Linde was a tyrant that manipulated, robbed, and slaughtered countless people, and he showed no signs of changing his ways. John made it so his former leader couldn’t hurt anyone anym
The difference between Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto is that the former is one that all ties into one another, whereas the latter is more of an anthology series taking place in different cities and times. It’d be hard for Rockstar Games to find a point in their protagonist’s lives that was more interesting than the events they went through in the game they starred in. GTA VI might take place in Vice City or another city set in a retro era, but don’t expect it to be a prequel to a previous en
Fast-forward 15 years later, and I’m standing in the delivery room holding my newborn son, Declan James. It was surreal to finally meet him and sing to him while bouncing him to sleep… er, _ trying _ to bounce him to sl
Clearly, Arthur and John are the two most prominent characters in the franchise as the protagonists of their respective games. Their conversations in Red Dead Redemption 2 are special because they showcase how much influence Arthur had on John as a
The Van der Linde gang does business with both families and never really takes a side in their feud. Rather, Arthur Morgan and his associates use the rivalry to their own advantage, which ultimately explodes in their faces later on in the game. However, it wouldn’t be an accurate representation of the wild, wild west if things didn’t get a bit ro
Choosing a good location for the shack is important because moonshine can be damaged during transport. Places like the Grizzlies have too many bumps and winds on the roads, and product will be damaged along the route. Tall Trees and The Heartlands have the flattest roads , making deliveries a lot easier. Bayou Nwa is a great location too, although the foggy bayou is not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing location in R
It seems that with every new AAA release Rockstar Games puts out they push the envelop when it comes to world detail, among plenty of other game development facets. Red Dead Redemption 2 managed to crush the level of intricate detail in GTA V , which seemed like an almost impossible task. The open World Game money guide in RDR 2 feels handcrafted in a way that clearly displays how the studio developed a work ethic and culture focused on crunch. The moment Rockstar Games unveils gameplay for GTA VI don’t be surprised if it once again ups the a
Arthur looks at Reverend Swanson and says, “We’re all doomed, Reverend.” A statement that the holy man of sin likely wanted to avoid as it brought reality harshly back into his view as he realized they were all traveling down a dangerous p
