I thought uncle was the type to be on his knees with his fist up raging at the sky yelling "damn you lumbago" but now that i have thought about it it's definitely too much hard work for uncle.

If you combine the RDR2 epilogue with RDR1, while the series is still about John Marston’s redemption, the epilogue expands the scope by asking the question, “Can John put away his guns for good?”

Because the RDR2 epilogue was all about how John just couldn’t get away from gunfights. Although you can argue that he was pushed into those fights with the Laramies, you can also see Abigail’s perspective in that the fights were putting their family at risk. So, when Abigail leaves, John is forced to really consider if he can put the guns away for good. If he can actually pull off being a rancher. To his credit, he does try.

He gets the bank loan, he builds the house with Uncle and Charles, and he learns how to properly manage the property. Because of his efforts, Abigail and Jack come back. But even so, John just can’t put the guns away because he’s driven by revenge against Micah Bell. Although he gets his payback, he’s punished for it by Edgar Ross tracking him down. Ironically, karma bit both Micah and John here.

So, RDR1 continues the question of whether John can put the guns away for good. It’s here where he’s almost reached that point. But now, he’s being tested on whether he’ll be tempted back into a life of an outlaw, back into a life involving violence and danger. Despite everything that’s thrown his way, John continues his path of redemption/putting his guns away for good:

1) He’s put into the role of a lawman and is pitted against Bill’s gang, essentially forcing him to be on the other side of the outlaws’ violence against others. It’s through this that John swears off from the outlaw life for good, especially when he sees just how awful Bonnie MacFarlane and her family were treated.

2) Javier tries to use nostalgia of the “good ole days” to win John over. It doesn’t work since John doesn’t want the good ole days, especially since he has a bright future with Abigail and Jack. The Mexico arc was, in general, about torn loyalties. John was playing both sides of the war and Javier tried to sway John based on their past friendship. Despite this, John stays true to his convictions. He doesn’t want the life of an outlaw anymore, nor does he want to keep shooting people anymore (he even says he’s getting tired of pulling the trigger!), so he rejects the nostalgia of the old gang.

3) Dutch challenged John over his desire to change. Dutch believed change was impossible and that John would “always” be a gunslinger. He can’t be a rancher, it’s just not what nature intended. John, once again, sticks to his convictions. In fact, despite all of his anger towards Dutch, he refused to shoot him. John can shoot Bill and Javier, but it’s Dutch who he refuses to shoot. When I first played this, I thought it was his fondness over Dutch as his former leader. Now, I’m wondering if it’s also John trying to prove his point. That he CAN change, that he CAN put the guns away. So he does, even when he had Dutch cornered.

Then came the final challenge. Jack Marston brings up the topic of “the day John Marston stopped shooting”. What will it take? John finally does, but in more than one way. Obviously, he puts the guns away since he dies. But John could’ve easily escaped. We’ve done it as the player multiple times. But if he did, it would be a return to a life on the run, a life where Abigail and Jack would always be in danger. The same life that made Abigail take Jack and leave John in the RDR2 epilogue. Everything he’s worked for, all the progress he made in changing his life would be ruined.

So, John makes the hard choice. He sacrifices himself to ensure his family would be safe. He refuses to return to the outlaw life, to a life where he has to shoot at people, even if it means his death. And what is the last thing John does?

He throws away his gun.

I have seen some people entertain the idea of Jack fighting in World War I

I'm sorry if you think Jack would enlist in the army then you clearly misunderstand his character

He grew up surrounded by people who despised the government not to mention this is the same government that killed his father after they promised to let him live

You honestly believe Jack would join the army after everything he has heard about the government and government soldiers killing his entire family save for his mother? Because I sure as shit don't

thinking about the world in which the marstons were a family of four. a small girl’s laughter echoing around the ranch as jack gallops around with her up on his shoulders. quiet falling when, later, she’s leaning against the fence with uncle, her head on his arm while they sleep in the afternoon sun.

abigail cheering happily when they make dinner together for the first time. john joking that he now knows the two most badass ladies in the world. jack teaching her how to read, because abigail doesn’t want her to be like her

and john getting to see all the milestones he missed with jack, which leaves him feeling terribly bittersweet

I remember when I first played Red Dead at the age of 18, it being cathartic to watch Jack shoot Edgar Ross. Seeing John being gunned down like that hurt me so much that I felt vindicated that Edgar died at least half the death John did.

Now, at the age of 32 after over a decade of life and a sequel that told the story that lead to it, it's the most bitter thing I've had to make a character do in a game. This wasn't the plan for him, he was supposed to be a writer, or a rancher, or anything else. John sacrificed everything to give Jack a different life, Abigail scarified everything to give him a different life, Arthur sacrificed everything to give him a different life, hell, Uncle sacrificed everything to give him a different life.

But no matter how hard they all tried, the cycle couldn't be escaped. And I have to guide Jack at a young age through hell and brimstone, through staring a man's brother and his wife in the eye coldly and lying to them just to find their family member and exact vengeance none of them would have wanted.

No matter how hard anyone tried, the cycle just can't be broken. There's no way out. And now Jack has to live it too. And that's absolutely more heartbreaking than any moment in the series.
