There does seem to be a spectrum of theories on here, from the Alien Theorists who have clear in-game evidence and are just looking for more, to the storm chasers who have something that may or may not be real, all the way down to people who zoom into a shadow on a rock and say it's ancient Hebrew.

Don’t forget about the guys that pull up any random npc and “is this Gavin???”

u/JayPunker Sep 28 '20

Gavin? Oh Gavin where are you?

u/Joehall66mars Oct 28 '20

Gavin is same guy that’s asking for him. Lasso him and loot him and will get the letter that explains a lot.

u/Shaman--Llama Jun 15 '24

His letter states that his name is Nigel

I’m wondering if Gavin is a horse i killed his friend and he has a note from somebody in England talking about Gavin it doesn’t actually say Gavin is a person so I’m wondering if it’s a horse which would make sense cause nobody’s found anyone and we probably haven’t been looking at horses

u/JayPunker Dec 05 '20

Nope. I already solved the Gavin mystery. Turns out Gavin was actually Bruce Willis the whole time. What a twist

14

u/Irapepokeman Dec 05 '20

Holy shit Bruce Willis was actually in a cowboy movie back in the day it was horrible

4

u/JayPunker Dec 05 '20

As horrible as his crime caper? You don't get much worse than Hudson Hawk

u/Irapepokeman Dec 06 '20

Wait last cowboy wasn’t a western what am I thinking about I know he was in one cause I bought like a five movie set cause it was like five bucks

2

u/JayPunker Dec 06 '20

Dude you're thinking of Last Boy Scout. The cowboy movie was Last Man Standing btw. Just googled it lol. Christopher Walken is in it so gotta be worth a watch

3

u/Irapepokeman Dec 06 '20

Yup that’s the one I don’t remember Christopher walken in it may have to find that but if I remember it was pretty dry

Last man standing is about the mafia, the story is based off of a fistful of dollars which is a western, and that story’s based off yojimbo a samurai movie

u/iabusemodshard Feb 28 '22

Hahaha wow I was like hey I came up with this theory a long time ago and then I saw the user name lol Jesus Christ it’s been a long few months

u/kevlar_burrito May 07 '22

Is this Gavin?!?!?!

u/sugarwave32 Nov 18 '20

It's 90 percent shadows on rocks these days. How often can you recall seeing something new or interesting. It's always "what's this writing I found in the draw". Or "has anyone taken this NPC to the pagan ritual site?". So many pointless posts

u/PleasantAnimator7212 Aug 26 '22

Go on then

u/sugarwave32 Aug 27 '22

It's baltently obvious who you are....

u/Complex-Situation Oct 19 '20

Has anyone ever thought to ask red dead devs or look up anyone of the hundreds of people who made the game?

u/ThroughBlackGlass Jul 29 '20

I just got the game recently and I just hit chapter 3. I can see how this is definitely a thing. I also can’t help but wonder how some of my decisions (accidental or on purpose) have changed the story line for me or how I might have missed something. (Like, I killed a guy who seemed very creepy and was talking about a lonely woman in a cabin somewhere. His tent was full of pictures of women, some nude etc. I can’t help but wonder if that story would’ve come up some time later if I didn’t get rape-y murderer vibes from him.)

u/mopsey3 Story Mode Jul 29 '20

He re spawns

34

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '20

Like many others, I have also dispatched him from his world. No place in the world for stalker perverts.

25

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

You meet the girl he's talking about later on.

2

u/ygogk Jul 03 '23

It’s Charlotte Balfour

u/Brows-gone-wild Story Mode Aug 02 '20

I killed him too and stole his horse to rise and re sell.

u/RoadWorkAhead41 Aug 20 '20

Where is he?

13

u/Aztec2250 Sep 04 '20

South east of Emerald Ranch I believe

u/ThroughBlackGlass Aug 20 '20

I don’t remember now. Was awhile ago

u/FriendshipNervous574 Feb 12 '23

I kill that guy every playthru (cuz fuck him) but I have always wondered if he kills her in the epilogue if Arthur doesn’t do it.

u/Mizzle420 Apr 01 '23

Is that the lady you teach to hunt or whatever, I don't think I ever noticed this guy

1

u/Shaman--Llama Jun 15 '24

It is her he describes her almost perfectly

1

u/Whiskey_Warchild Oct 12 '23

i don't think so. if you choose not to help you find her dead more than likely succumbing to the elements or starvation or whatever due to never being taught how to survive.

u/Joehall66mars Oct 28 '20

I have a question, all the money you get in end does it have anything to do with money you donate to camp? I know you use donations to upgrade camp but the money you get in end is a lot and didn’t know if donating into camp was part of it.

8

u/DariusFontaine Hi there, Mister! Oct 28 '20

Nope

u/Joehall66mars Oct 28 '20

Was just curious about it I’m on second play threw and was wondering if had to donate more than did first time. I did all upgrade first time but also donated a lot. Thanks

u/Otherwise_Homework_7 Jan 30 '22

Gavins friend is Frank Sinclair js.

u/DariusFontaine Hi there, Mister! Jan 30 '22

Awesome comment on a rdr reddit

u/Sweaty-Astronaut7248 Jan 11 '22

Thorfinn took a bolt to the dome. Ghosts anyone?

u/vWolfee Feb 22 '22

That's fairly cool though to be honest.

Sundial on Mt. Shann points to locations at certain times the shadow lines up, corresponding the time of day you will get struck by lightning. First time this happens, is at the why tree. Why at 10?

u/Jws0209 Jun 28 '23

Need to know more on this

u/zivisch Jul 10 '23

Why is this still pinned? Its outdated and mostly an opinion piece
