However, <strong>this vision was discarded by the development team, as they felt it was too harsh and could cause players to develop a hatred towards Arthur from the beginning<\/strong>.

This has allowed his development as a character to be much more engaging and sustainable throughout the course of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>With the success of the Red Dead saga, many fans are wondering if Rockstar could continue this narrative with a Red Dead Redemption 3. <strong>Although Houser has mentioned that this &#8220;may happen,&#8221; he emphasizes that the final decision will depend on Take-Two Interactive, the parent company that owns the rights to the franchise<\/strong>.
