Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Facts About The Heartless Bookkeeper, Leopold Strauss

The saddest thing about the deaths of honorable people in this game Deals is how dishonorably they were treated. Hosea was shot in the back after the Pinkertons captured him. Unarmed in the middle of a dirty street is no way for anyone to go, let alone someone players got to know so well. It also signaled the death of any sense of honor or loyalty within the gang. That moment, and the ensuing ambush, were omens foreseeing the beginning of the end. Would things have turned out so tragically is Hosea had li

He's an undeniably bad person at the start of RDR2 , who eventually does what he can to make things right upon learning of his fatal diagnosis. Maybe he could never fully redeem himself, but his sacrifice gave John Marston a second cha

It's quite obvious he isn't American simply due to his thick European accent. The beauty of the Van Der Linde gang is that all that matters is your loyalty and contributions to the group. It didn't matter where you came f

However, it's not until players investigate the house that they realize the true nature of Jeremiah's business. They can confront him about his participation in the slave trade and either kill him or leave him be. It's one of the many ways that the game shows the heinous nature of man and how no one should be trusted at face va

This is based on preconceived notions about the type of people who are loan sharks and swindlers. It turns out that Strauss was indeed loyal to his death and even through torture never spilled a word about the gang who brought him in. He ended up finding redemption in his way through those acti

The last thing to happen in the series is Jack Marston gunning down retired Pinkerton Agent Edgar Ross in an act of vengeance. Some may argue that one doesn't deserve such violent retribution for simply doing their job, but the Pinkertons did their service through nefarious me

This likely traumatized Strauss and made him the type of man who never wanted to be hungry again. Instead of falling into the pit his family had, he used his intelligence and cunning to manipulate people into owing him money. He may not have been kind, but boy was he good at getting the gang mo

Lenny was a good man who fell into some bad luck. His father was murdered and he was forced to go on the run after enacting swift vengeance. He was always a good friend to Arthur, and probably would have made the right choice if he had lived to see the gang's downf

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. Not many are doubting this. Still, like every game, it is not perfect. Even the most legendary games out there can be easily made fun of. If you can't make fun of it, are you really a true

The most infamous quote in Red Dead Redemption 2 is Dutch’s constant reassurance of "I have a plan." Okay Dutch, please tell us what your plan is. We ask because almost every other plan and job we’ve done has just made things worse. Instead of just accepting that maybe his plans need more thinking, he just sits there and complains that nothing is working. He’s just so shocked that killing a high-profile industrialist actually has consequences. He’s also pretty upset when he realizes that robbing a bank in a large town would somehow go wr

This makes sense considering Hosea always seems to have an eye for theatrics and understands that conning people is simply a vile way of living life as an actor. He was always willing to play the role to accomplish whatever crime he and Dutch had planned in the middle of the ni

In many ways, the relationship of Lenny Summers and Hosea paralleled that of Arthur and John Marston. One of them was the older veteran of the gang who looked out for the other, and the younger one was wanting to prove themselves despite being told to leave the gang and make a better l

Imagine becoming good friends with someone you tried to rob and hustle. If entertainment is any indication of the plausibility of this happening then it must be fairly common among criminals and outl

If this list was comprised of every single member Micah Bell would easily come in the last place among the group. Though plenty of the other members were selfish or just jerks in general, Micah was working to actively cause drama.

**** A horse's worst enemy in Red Dead Redemption 2 ; the dreaded rock. You'll be galloping away at full speed, feeling invincible as you make through beautiful landscapes. Then out of nowhere, your horse trips and falls, sending you flying and landing hard on the ground. You'd think there was something you would've seen a mile away. You are wrong because it was just one little measly rock that nearly killed you and your horse. You might as well add rocks to the list of hardest boss fights in the Red Dead ser

Holding one's family hostage to make them do your dirty work is morally corrupt, and deserving of some good old fashion Wild West justice. Coincidentally, the two's first and last meeting were both on a riverside where one party was fish
