Red Dead Redemption 2
Bill Williamson and Javier Escuella played large part in the originalRed Dead Redemption , when John Marston trace his previous gang associates down after his wife and small fry were involve hostage by the Pinkertons . afford how big their character was in the first game , it ’s surprising that Bill and Javier were n’t given more covert time in the plot ’s sequel , Red Dead Redemption 2 .
Inthe firstRed Dead Redemption , John follows his associates all the direction to Mexico in effort to run them down . Most of the game is pass trailing Bill and afterward Javier after the two abandoned the Van der Linde gang - events that are explored in the second game , which play as a prequel . John later goes after Dutch , the Van der Linde ringleader , before meeting an untimely portion himself at the hands of authorities forces .
The second game leave more context about how the Van der Lindes ended up in such touch-and-go positions after they disbanded . It does so by largely secern the story from theperspective of newcomer Arthur Morgan , who , after joining the gang as a teenager ( just like John ) , ended up becoming a brother - like figure to Marston , as well as a pseudo - Word to Dutch . But the focus on Arthur and several other newcomers , like Sadie and Charles , took the chance to focus on Bill and Javier ’s story away .
How RDR2 Failed To Do Bill Williamson & Javier Escuella Justice
The fact that Bill and Javier play such important roles in the first game plant a common law that they would be given as involved part in the second game . And while they were present for delegation and always available to shoot the breeze with at the summer camp , Red Dead Redemption 2did a poor job at ply any background information into these characters in decree to link up up free ends or further develop them . On the other paw , even though the game was mostly rivet on Arthur , it stillgave sizeable clock time to the Marston family . The entire epilogue focuses on John and how he became established before the Pinkertons found him . allow , Javier and Bill were n’t as significant toRDRas John , butRDR2’sepilogue does n’t even give them any attention at all .
Most ofRed Dead Redemption 2 ’s character fib are neatly twine up in the epilogue , with scenes that show what they fuck off up to after the Van der Linde gang parted ways . But the last clock time players see Javier or Bill is during the chief story , when the Pinkertons raid the gang ’s camp and the duo lead away , implying this was the last time they had anything to do with the Van der Lindes . It seems uncharacteristic that they would be so quick to empty their gang without another word . Moreover , it would ’ve been simple-minded enough to include a cite of either one of them in the epilog . Without that , many loose ends are left open . For instance , it still remains indecipherable when andwhy Javier return to Mexico , know his and his family ’s liveliness were in danger if he return . It ’s also ill-defined how Bill manage to form his own fast gang in only a few years .
HadRed Dead Redemption 2given more time to Javier and Bill ’s stories , these plot hole may have been explained , and actor would have a better intellect of the two characters . While the first plot portrays them as villain , the second game care for them as minor side characters that are unimportant to the plot , makingRed Dead Redemption 2’sportrayal of Javier and Bill unjust and a lost opportunity .
