As Dutch, I'm always telling everyone that 'I have a plan', which usually involves getting more money. "We have fun with it, all spouting familiar lines and calling each other 'boah'. During this time, Jamie says they engage in "tongue-in-cheek" role-playing. But together, we like to think we look the part." Jamie said most of the group use random horses, but he owns a white Arabian named The Count for Dutch.Īlongside posing for photos, when the group gets together they explore the world on horseback, preferring this method of transport to fast travel. Our Sadie had a particularly hard time recreating the character. "It took each of us a long time to make our characters and even longer to level up and purchase the correct clothing. "The character creator is somewhat limited, as are the hair and clothing options," he explained. The group now has four regular members, along with a rotating cast of other players who drop in to play characters.Īccording to Jamie, the process of recreating the gang in Online's character creator - notorious for giving everyone terrible teeth - was particularly tricky. Over time, I met others who had made characters from the story and we went from there." "The idea of having the Van der Linde gang online seemed like a really fun idea, so I decided to make Dutch.
"I've always enjoyed trying to recreate characters in character creators," Jamie told me. To my surprise, Jamie told me the role-playing group didn't come into the game as a pre-formed set of friends, but actually found each other after creating the characters. The world-famous Vun dor Lende gang, featuring Ditch, Orthur, Sodie and Miccy. The group has been exploring the world of online together - and even engaging in some role-play.Īfter a post displaying the group's handiwork sailed to the top of the Red Dead Redemption subreddit, I got in touch with user JP_Doctor, real name Jamie, to ask him a bit about the gang's activities. While some of the characters look closer to the originals than others, as a whole they're pretty convincing. Well, er, maybe not Micah.Ī group of players has managed to do exactly that by recreating the Van der Linde gang using the character creator in the game's online mode. Now, consider the fun you could have if Dutch, Sadie and Micah were controlled by your real friends. Be it fishing with your pals in a boat, or having a laugh over a drink, the early game is filled with plenty of heartwarming moments and camaraderie. I think it's fair to say - without giving away spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2's story - that many of us wish we could have spent more time just chilling with the gang before everything went tits-up.
