What did Dutch see in them? What made them decide to stay in the gang? And perhaps most importantly, how does all of this impact the memberвЂ™s relationship with Arthur and everyone else in the gang.

The team had to know why each of the gangвЂ™s members was drawn to gang-leader Dutch. вЂњA big cast of main characters was an advantage in many waysвЂ¦it gave us a broad and varied set of perspectives and personalities to draw from and helped create the story we wanted вЂ“ a gang on the run that functions as its own society, but it also created a lot of complexity,вЂќ Michael Unsworth, senior creative writer on вЂњRed Dead Redemption 2,вЂќ told Variety.В вЂњWe knew we needed a diverse and interesting mix of characters for DutchвЂ™s gang and the challenge with any big ensemble cast like this is making them all stand out in some way and feel distinct from one another without descending into stereotype.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s just one of myriad challenges the team faced in working to give life not just to their central character, but to make each of the gangвЂ™s 23 members feel like heroes in their own stories. People who played the first game will know MarstonвЂ™s story, or at least think they do, and that could be limiting to the writers.

But itвЂ™s also a bit of a challenge, a good challenge to have.вЂќ ItвЂ™s exciting to have him back playing as a different character. вЂњWe had to be careful not to John it up too much,вЂќ вЂњRed Dead Redemption 2вЂќ producer Rob Nelson said, referencing John Marston who was the beloved central character in вЂњRed Dead Redemption,вЂќ but is one of 23 meaningful characters in - and notably not the one controlled by players - in prequel вЂњRed Dead Redemption 2.вЂќ
