The Nicest Badass Video Game Characters

From WarhammerWorkshop


Micah Bell's horse is named Baylock and is a male Missouri Fox Trotter. Its darker body and light face make the horse look an awful lot like the Dark Horse from the first Red Dead Redemption. The Dark Horse would only spawn in the first game if the player had a low honor level. When putting that into account it seems that the horse picked for Micah Bell was intentional and meant as another piece of foreshadowing teasing the type of person he would reveal himself to be by journey's


As one of the strongest and most consistent publishers in today's market, the company has always been infinitely better and often masterful at something completely different: telling a story. Proving it time and time again, the writers at Rockstar frequently deliver a narrative that can stand next to each year's best movies, and serve as an example as to why video games are just as capable at delivering an iconic story as any other medium. While both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 have delivered on that front in recent years, Rockstar has all but completely abandoned something that they did better than anyone else: story


He doesn't get a lot of characterization in the first game, but the prequel does a solid job of making the player hate his guts. He sides with Micah during the standoff at the end of Arthur Morgan's story, and runs away after the Pinkertons drop by. Good riddance to you, traitorous Bill William


In the blink of an eye, a decade can race past us, leaving us feeling older, and hopefully, wiser. Still, when looking back at the last 10 years of video games, it's kind of crazy to see how far we've come. In fact, when compiling this list, we couldn't believe how old some of our favorite games of all time really were. Still, time marches on, and when it comes to video games, we're left with more and more memories with each passing y


If Arthur wishes to be a good Samaritan, he can go all the way to the location where the wagon was stolen and fight off the bandits who appropriated these supplies for himself. After doing this, players must drive the wagon back, dealing with some pursuers along the way. It's a fairly simple mission and one that players can forget about in a city rife with numerous activit


Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol


Despite releasing a year and change after the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain really kicked off this generation. With an intricate story, only Kojima could think up and a bigger open world for players to explore, the final game in the series made by the man who made it famous did not disappo


Players will encounter a familiar face in the form of Sister Calderón while walking around the city. The Sister will ask Arthur to donate to the poor during a cutscene, and the player will have to option to oblige or walk away afterward. Donating either food or money will net Arthur some positive honor. It also makes for a memorable conversation that highlights how even the simplest and optional locations of the game house some quality content of its

Red Dead Redemption wasn't the only Rockstar game to receive excellent additions in story DLC. From LA Noire to Max Payne 3 , Rockstar kept a habit of giving players quality story content on top of their original titles for years. The pinnacle of Rockstar's story DLC though, has to be from Grand Theft Auto IV. Like Red Dead 2 and GTA V , GTA IV has a story as good as any film, but Rockstar built upon that story in unique and imaginative ways through The Lost And Damned and The Ballad Of Gay Tony . While one installment has you playing as a biker struggling with the collapse of his gang, and the other a bodyguard for a celebrity night club owner, both run in parallel with GTA IV , adding depth to the story and life to Liberty City. GTA IV' s story DLC fleshed out its world, creating an experience with more depth and character to it. The content was so good that it makes you wonder what Rockstar might have been able to come up with if they would had taken story DLC for GTA V seriously. Unfortunately, it seems like that window has come and gone, and the potential has fa


Of Men and Angels is a quick little interaction, and that’s probably what makes it so easy for players to miss out on. The stranger mission becomes available sometime during Chapter 6 and is located within the streets of Saint De


While Batman: Arkham City is fantastic in its own right, we can't help but wonder if one specific boss battle really puts it over the top. Sure, the Game mods is perfect for Batman fans as they play as the Dark Knight who's trying to save Gotham after the inhabitants of Arkham Assylum broke out and began terrorizing the c
