Personally, I like to think that after Red Dead Revolver, Red Harlow retired from the life of a Wild West gunslinger and lived a regular life. To rid himself of his past, Red changes his name to Leigh Johnson clears Armadillo of all the squatters and makes it livable again after the diseases we see in RDR2’s New Austin pass through, where the people elect him as Sheriff

[@austinlee4156]

So my gf works with ppl with tbi's The trolly accident could absolutely cause severe swelling and possibly bleeding. The loss of hosea and knowing he likely caused his gang to fail would only compound any symptoms. As well as the guilt of shooting that girl in the head. Yes he'd start loosing his grip on sanity

[@jackkseptictank]

Dutch doesn’t feel guilt for shooting Heidi McCourt It’s very obvious Dutch is a narcissist, a hypocrite, and a manipulative liar 1. Whenever people are against his plans and want to lay low he gets easily angered and argues with them 2. He continuously tries to rope the gang into danger 3. Constantly tries to pin his faults on other gang members 4. Freudian slips Always says “I” instead of “We” and corrects himself whenever people talking about getting out of a tough situation 5. Despite saying he’s against revenge he constantly tries to go after Colm 6. Cheats on, neglects, and insults Molly (Flirts with the girl gang members despite Dutch being a father figure to everyone) 7. Constantly tries to excuse his actions by saying “I have no choice” or “We have no choice” 8. Demeans the gang members if they seem like they’re “doubting” him Then there’s everything else but by that point Dutch was breaking or already broke

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

To add the Dutch brain injury, in the mission where Eagle Flies, Dutch, Charles, and Arthur steal horses from an army boat, when Dutch crashes, it looks like he was very dizzy, possibly relating to the trolley incident

[@ElPresidenteMargz]

I can believe Micah being a rat as early as that, given how despite all that running and hiding , Milton and the Pinkertons are always a step right behind. The only thing why I don’t think he would turn Dutch in that early (Colms set up) is because Micah still doesn’t have the location of the Blackwater money that only Dutch and MAYBE Hosea know the location of

[@ncpsteve123]

Colm might give him money for turning in Dutch plus the bounty already on his head might be more than the black water money

[@domyen_]

Micah was a rat from the start. Back in Chapter One he kept saying to go back to blackwater to get the money, wanting to get them into the hands of pinkertons.

[@SMGlama]

I think one of the main grounds for the strange man theory is that Arthur’s journal says that he saw someone similar in stature to trelawney in blackwater, and later trelawney says he was in blackwater. We also know from rdr1 that the strange man was in both blackwater and st. Denis.

[@Skarfgabs]

I agree that the trolley accident could have changed dutch's mental health. But summarize everything we see in the game to "he hit his head" is just to simple Hosea and Arthur says multiple times in chapter 1, 2 and 3 that Dutch is different. That he's acting and doing things differently now. When Sadie asks Arthur what happened to Dutch in chapter 6, he says "It seems like what started happening in blackwater started happening long before.. a slow decline perhaps" In Arthur's journal, before blackwater, he writes about how they had money and the opportunity to disappear and buy some land. But didn't, because Dutch just didn't liked any land that they found and kept blocking their attempts to make it work. I feel that this event made Dutch's "nature" kick in. He noticed that fighting could be more important than saving his loved ones. I feel that he was conflicted about this two options during the whole game. He sometimes talks about the gang as family. And sometimes talk about them as disposable soldiers "of course it would be casualties" Then he gets cornered by this changing world with constant pressure. Being doubted and confronted by the people that always idealized him. His failures causing pain and deaths Having a big trauma on the head, losing his best friend, his younger son/brother and getting stuck in a hot af island far from his land. Honestly it's surprising he was able to form complete sentences in chapter six. + i'm playing the game again and i just noticed that when Arthur tries to talk with bill and javier about Dutch's recent choices. They never even mention leaving, they always bring the "if we have to fight, we fight. With we have to die, we die"

[@jqyhlmnp]

My theory is that the original sequel had Bill be the bad guy before being replaced by Micah

[@tobysimpson2773]

If there is a heaven and hell, Arthur's hell would be having to watch all that Dutch does after Arthur's passing It broke Arthur's heart already, seeing what Dutch became in the later chapters; but seeing what a monster Dutch became by RDR1, would absolutely crush Arthur. And then seeing Dutch kill himself because of his own insanity and desperation. Then again, he'd get to see Dutch shoot Micha :)

[@Lamedvavnik]

I think Abigail being the rat is a solid theory. It even makes sense canonically, the pinkertons make a deal with Abigail to bring down Dutch. But in RDR2 they didn’t manage to bring down Dutch. They track down Abigail and then tell John they’re keeping her hostage until the jobs done. Why else choose John? Dutch at least suspects John and Abigail and maybe that’s why he didn’t want to save John.

[@Tensifyed]

Wow I hope you do more icebergs in the future!

[@Koolkirby_]

Dutch was already quite vile before the trolley mission. Good men just dont shoot innocent women, case in point during the Blackwater heist. I think the potential brain injury definitely sped up his decline, but he was already slipping

My opinion a red dead story about Lyle Morgan would be pretty sick, since his story is pretty much untold and his whole identity is barely mentioned at all throughout the story

[@DudioStudios]

To anyone wondering whether or not Uncle really is Red Harlow; The answer is clearly, NO. Now let me explain. -Red Harlow was no older than his 20s by the time his story ended. So he wouldn't be older than his 30s, possibly 40s by the time of RDR2. Uncle is clearly older than that. -There is no scorpion scar on Uncle’s right hand (unlike Red Harlow). In the first level of Red Dead Revolver, Red grabs his father’s revolver and fires it while it is engulfed in flames. The revolver had a scorpion emblem on the grip, and that emblem was burned on to the palm of Red’s hand. After that scene, we are shown a time-skip, and it is revealed that as an adult, Red covers his entire right hand with a red colored handkerchief. There is no sign of the scarring or the handkerchief on Uncle’s hand. -Red Harlow was very morally strict and a famous bounty hunter. Red spent the majority of his life fighting and hunting down gangs, even gangs similar to Dutch's gang, and taking down infamous nasty people. I would question why anyone thinks he would be living with outlaws now. -the nickname "One Shot Kid" is never used for Red Harlow. In fact, that name does not exist anywhere in this series apart from the one time Uncle says it in camp. It was not intended on being anything other than another drunk Uncle anecdote.

It's most likely Red Harlowe exists as merely a mythological folk tale in Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2. Which would explain why the events of Red Dead Revolver are so silly and over the top. People in the RDR universe are recalling events that never happened and putting their own spin on them.

It could be that they ran together as two of the greatest gunslingers of all time. And you, as the player, get to live out their glory days riding together.

Rockstar's gotta be lying or mistaken when they said that Red Dead Revolver and RDR are two seperate universes. Red Harlow was clearly mentioned by a camper you meet on RDR2. He even tells Arthur/John about Harlow's backstory.

[@bluesrocker91]

Harlow is mentioned in campfire conversations in Redemption 1 as well. My take on it is that Red Harlow was a real figure in the Red Dead universe, who's story has been embellished and romanticised to the point where it's impossible to separate truth from the legend. Red Dead Revolver tells the mythologised version of Harlow's story, and so for that reason it can be regarded as both part of as well as separate from the Redemption universe.

2:40 They didn’t say separate universes, the quote says continuity That means the events of revolver very well could’ve happened in RDR’s universe but not in the same period Basically I think Uncle is either Red Harlow or was a close friend of Harlow (more likely) decades ago, and the events of Revolver took place during that time period instead Thus the timeline, continuity, is different, but the general events still happened to some extent And I think that can pretty much be said of every single Rockstar game lol I think RDRev, RDRed, GTA, LA Noire, Bully, etc. all exist in the same uni/multiverse but there is a certain elasticity to dates, times, and events😊

[@deekyinmydiaper6443]

A theory that supports the Abigail theory is the fact that she saved Arthur because she knew that he was slowly starting to criticize and turn against Dutch for his actions. And, Milton was probably thinking that Arthur would find a way to survive, so he lied and said Micah was the rat.

[@Mysterion157]

The Abigail theory changed my whole perception of the story for me. As for when Milton dies and doesn't tell Arthur that it was Abigail, I think you could pass that as Milton holding up his end of the bargain. Only for Abigail to realize that Arthur is as much a part of her family as John and turn on Milton herself. I think it would be believable that she was fake tied up to give the illusion that she was under threat in case any of the gang that would come looking for her. After all she managed to get out of the restraints no problem. As with any theory it's not perfect but has enough that makes sense, to me at least

yeah it is, but still how much can we trust milton and also why didn’t micah betray dutch after arthur’s death

[@Maddie-xw2df]

a lot of^*

[@blackcreekoutdoors4138]

The problem with revolver and redemption being in separate universes is there are random encounters in rdr1 (and maybe 2 idk) that mention red Harlow and his deeds

[@alvuigi_07]

Milton maybe captured Abigail, just to bring and mislead Arthur, release him and bring chaos to the gang, while Abigail, probably had already given up on being a rat, after Hosea got killed, and attacks Milton, who thinks she is still on his side.

It's crazy how the RDR1 Red Harlow model looks so similar to Uncle. They're probably not the same person but still. I also viewed "Revolver not being cannon" because its the retelling of the LEGEND of Red Harlow than the actual events that happened. There's story's about Red Harlow you can hear in both games.

[@agirlinabasementofyourdaddy]

They absolutely do not look similar 😂 have you played RDR1 multiplayer? Whwre you have a character model for Harlow? How tall he actually is? 😂

[@McDiesel27]

@@agirlinabasementofyourdaddy Yes I played the multiplayer way back in 2010 and for years after. Haven't played in a while but all I'm saying is in those side by side, they have almost the same nose and eyes. Uncle looks like a fatter, older Red in THOSE pics. Chill brotha

It doesn't make since in the slightest in the story.His family is killed by outlaws but he decides to live with a infamous gang in his older years who ruined people's lives for years on end?

[@McDiesel27]

@@zombiekiller4313 read my comment. I said they’re probably not the same person it’s just fun to think about. I don’t actually think Red is Uncle, was just saying they looks weirdly similar in those pics. I also was just pointing out that the events that happen in revolver are not canon because it’s in the basis of a legend being told, but the stories of red Harlow are told in campfires in rdr1, so Red could be very real in the red dead universe. I wasn’t arguing for uncle and red being the same person.
