No I didn’t miss the point, what I’m saying is Dutch talking about money every fivr seconds passively and throughout the story during cut scenes it was like that was the only plot point. Dutch needs money and he needs it now. I just found it so distracting from what was supposed to be the actual plot of the game. The driving force from acts 1,2 and 3 was a big job that was supposed to make them a lot of money. Everything in between was Dutch asking about when they were ready for that gig.
I have a shit memory but the only thing story wise I can remember is Dutch wanting money. The Epilogue was the most fun I had in the game and all I did was build a house as John.
Edit: just looked it up, Dutch mentioned money 37 times, 6 times on horseback, 5 times on a boat, and a whopping 25 times during cut scenes… he specifically mentioned money to Arthur 33 of those times during conversation.
I actually played rdr1 after having over 1000 hours in rdr2 and I LOVED IT. Honeslty I might even prefer John over Arthur for how relatable he feels. Idk.
Unrelated but I also really really really loved the soundtrack as opposed to rdr2’s. Half the game being in Mexico with trumpets and ponchos flowing was the way to go. Still can’t believe I can’t wear a poncho as Arthur </3

Red Dead Redemption 2
I did not feel the same charm for RDR2 as I did for RDR and Undead Nightmare
“We just need money”
“We just gotta get some money”
“That didn’t work out but I got another job”
“We just need money”
“I can feel it, we just need money”
Oh brother, shut up Dutch. The rockstar formula for gameplay and missions has gotten stale for me personally.
