Summary
ARed Dead Onlineplayer was able to create a custom character in the game that was the spitting image ofRed Dead Redemption 2protagonist Arthur Morgan. The player shared their character online, where it received praise from fellow gamers and inspired some jokes.
Released in 2019,Red Dead Onlineserved as the multiplayer component of the universally acclaimedRed Dead Redemption 2in the same way thatGrand Theft Onlinewas the multiplayer experience forGrand Theft Auto 5. The title finally allowed fans of the Western series to immerse themselves in developer Rockstar Games' fictional version of the United States with other players and while using characters that were fully customizable. OneRed Dead Onlineplayer, a Reddit user named OkAcanthisitta1114, modeled their avatar afterRed Dead Redemption 2’s main playable character, Arthur Morgan.
In a recent post on theRed Dead Redemptionsubreddit, OkAcanthisitta1114 showed off their nearly perfect recreation of Morgan that they claimed took an hour and a half to make. While OkAcanthisitta1114 never revealed who the reference was for their character, it was most likely Morgan because of the facial similarities. The character also sported a headpiece that closely resembledMorgan’s gambler hat inRed Dead Redemption 2. Some community members praised the work, while others tried to guess the name of OkAcanthisitta1114’s character in jest.
Red Dead Redemption’s Morgan is considered one of gaming’s best protagonistsdue to his complex and nuanced character. On one hand, Morgan is a dangerous outlaw who has killed several people, but on the other hand, he is a deeply self-reflective individual with a strong sense of morality. Like many great characters, Morgan attempts to redeem himself and help others. His poignant yet incredibly human story won the hearts of many, and it earned recognition for his actor, Roger Clark.
While Morgan’s story has concluded, fans will definitely still see asequel toRed Dead Redemption 2, Clark told fans last month. Rockstar Games no longer provides major updates toRed Dead Online,and the developer has likely committed most of its resources to the highly anticipatedGrand Theft Auto 6, so any newRed Deadtitle is probably still a few years away from being announced.
With theRed Deadseries' established setting and lore, Rockstar Games could allow the franchise to branch out through other mediums. A television series treatment like whatThe Last of Usreceived would not be too improbable, and there are already severalactors who would be a perfect fit for the role ofRed Dead Redemption 2’s Morgan.
