Charles Smith is underrated and underappreciated in the Van Der Linde gang. His ties to his Native American heritage become invaluable later in the crew's story as working alongside a tribe becomes the focus of Arthur Morgan's empathetic nature as he courts death.

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

Judging by B.J.'s chosen vocation of violent Nazi killer, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Mr. Blazkowicz isn't the most personable individual. After all, if you spent most of your time stabbing and shooting enemy soldiers, and being covered in blood and viscera, you might come across as a bit of an uncouth fellow.

However, if you got to know B.J., you'd find that he's actually a very nice person once you wash away all the gore. He's very loyal to both his country and his wife, he's vehemently against racism and fascism, he'll do anything for his friends, and he has strong family values (although he did kill his dad, but that guy sucked, so it's alright). Everyone he runs into who's not a member of the Third Reich eventually takes a strong liking to old Blazko, and while being a one-man army probably helps with that, we like to think it's also due to the fact that he's just a stand-up guy. There are only a few badasses in gaming who seem like they would willing to help you move, but B.J. definitely seems like one of the good ones.

Lenny had a close relationship with his father and was willing to learn any and everything his father was willing to teach him. The watch was the last physical connection he had to his father and it likely broke his heart when he lost

One of the coolest parts about the level of detail that Rockstar Games put into the game is that characters will react in certain ways depending on the way you treat them. The more verbally sarcastic or standoffish you are the likelier you are to get similar responses from the very same people you're communicating with that

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

Is a machine not working properly? He'll find the switch or plug that'll make it work. Too many Combine soldiers getting in the way of the resistance fighters? Don't worry, he'll crowbar them to death for you. Need to vent about your worries regarding the end of humanity as we know it? Feel free to talk away, as Gordon is an excellent listener. He doesn't speak much, but he's a true blue friend, and he even doesn't mind picking up the beer tab, as long you get him back after this whole alien war business is taken care of.

Ion Fury is a blast from the past: a retro-styled FPS with fast action and Recommended Browsing extreme violence. However, it also brings back another element from those old school shooters, which is the return of the foul-mouthed, rather mean-spirited protagonist. Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison is cut from the same cloth as heroes like Duke Nukem, and while they definitely can be pretty awesome, they're not necessarily the type of people you'd actually want to hang out with after they saved your lives. Hanging out with these kinds of heroes seems like a chore, as all they'll want to talk about is how cool they were then they blew up that alien spaceship, and their idea of humor is repeating the same Bruce Campbell quotes over and over.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is heavily inspired by several Westerns and many other things throughout pop culture. Some of the characters share physical or personality traits with famous fictional characters as either an homage or because they're iconic to the ge

At no point in the game is it ever made clear that Sadie Adler is associated with the Van Der Linde gang. This is crazy considering the other member she spends a ton of time with, Charles, is often written about in the news as a member of the infamous gr

She starts as an innocent wife who then turns to a life of violence and crime to fulfill her revenge and animosity towards the O'Driscoll gang. By the end of the game, she's still an angered and rigged person who often uses violence to cope with her unresolved issues of l

It retroactively makes him a more dynamic character int he first game due to the information players gather from his time inside the Van Der Linde gang. Since they're kind of a package deal you can go ahead and add his wife Abigail right next to him at the #3 spot on the list.

The beginning of Red Dead Redemption 2 starts very slow as it peels back the layers of what the world Rockstar Games created is capable of presenting. Very early in the game, as the Van Der Linde gang is looking to survive a brutal winter, they come across Sadie Ad
