Aside from the mammoth that is the Grand Theft Auto series, Rockstar Games’ other crown jewel is its western Red Dead Redemption series.
Check out the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer below!
It’s fair to say that when its next game,Red Dead Redemptionarrived in 2010, it was a very different game compared to its predecessor. Sure, it was still set in the wild west world and it had plenty of classic Clint Eastwood gameplay, butRed Dead Redemptionwas a massive spiritual successor, not only in terms of its world but from a storytelling perspective too. That aspect was enhanced further with the 2018 prequel,Red Dead Redemption 2.

While the two lead protagonists may have changed in both Red Dead Redemption games with John Marston and Arthur Morgan, respectively, at the heart of both stories was Dutch van der Linde. Dutch was the clear antagonist in the 2010 game, but in the 2018 release, his character was far more complex blurring the lines between being a good guy and a bad guy.
Especially inRed Dead Redemption 2, the story of Dutch was very well told, but many have been wondering, what was the complex character up to in between both games. It seems that a fan may have discovered what kind of shenanigans Dutch may have been partaking in.
“Dutch became a Cannibal?”askedRedditor TheChristianZealot. Unfortunately, the initial post from the Reddit user has since been removed.
I would assume that the Redditor was referring to this conversation that Dutch had with Hosea, during a time in which his group fell on hard times inRed Dead Redemption 2. Thankfully, Redditor sue_donyem brilliantly recalled that conversion. Thank you.

“Dead men is all you have, Dutch Van Der Linde! Mac, Lenny, that Driscoll boy, Davey, Arthur! You watched Micah Bell beat our son to death and you couldn’t kill him where he stood! And this thing, this animal you’ve become, what would Arthur say about that?” said Hosea to Dutch.
“I admit, I made mistakes, the path has not always been exactly easy, but everything I did had a cause, had a reason,” replied Dutch. “You’re eating people, Dutch. Nothing of the man I knew remains in you. Hardly anything of a man remains at all,” Hosea replied. To which Dutch said “I have to survive. Have to stay a step ahead, it’ll all be worth it in the end, Hosea. I just have to survive, is all.” Yeah, that does sound pretty conclusive when interrupted with Hannibal Lecter in mind.
The originalRed Dead Redemptionis out now on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, whileRed Dead Redemption 2is available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
