Red Dead Redemption tells the story of John Marston, a former outlaw who is coerced by the government to track down and eliminate the remaining members of his old gang. The game begins in 1911, at the very end of the Wild West era, when everything is changing: law and order begin to take hold in places once ruled by criminals and cowboys. One of the key features of the plot is its multi-layered nature. John Marston's story is not just about revenge; it is also about his attempts to find his place in a world that no longer needs the heroes of the past. The characters in the game are complex and multifaceted, and their interactions with the main character create a multitude of moral dilemmas, prompting the player to reflect on what it means to be honest, even if one’s life has been filled with crime.
