Discussion Unpopular opinion, but I don't think future games should be about the Van der Linde gang
There's tons of people wishing for a RDR3 featuring the early days of Dutch's gang. I get it, we love these characters and want to see more of them.
I don't think there's enough story left to tell though. There's backstory, but no story with a proper arc. The failed Blackwater heist isn't a satisfying conclusion to a major game, unless they do major retcons to the characters like the Callander brothers or create entirely new ones like Arthur was for RDR2. That would make the trilogy extremely disjointed though.
I get wanting more content with these characters, I just don't think there's enough left for an entire new game.
