10 Red Dead Redemption 2 NPCs With DISTURBING Secrets
1. The Mad Preacher - Red Dead Redemption 2
John the mad preacher can be found standing in four different rivers across the game's map shouting at God to give him a signal or some sort of reason for his existence. The player can talk with this NPC who is meant to be a reference to John the Baptist, and discovers that the mad preacher is actually one of the most disturbing NPCs of all time.
According to Strange Man, the preacher isn't actually talking to God. In actuality, John might be shouting at Sam Houser, the president of Rockstar. Yes, that's right, John the Mad Preacher may actually be a NPC who has become self-aware and went insane trying to figure out why he was literally created and placed inside the world of Red Dead Redemption 2.
There are some small indications John is self-aware, such as how he notices the other people are nothing more than programmed NPCs and act strangely to him. Another is how the Mad Preacher believes the player's character may actually be the signal from "God" he's been waiting for.
John the mad preacher is essentially a Westworld-Esque host who realized their reality is not what it seems, and that itself is always a terrifying thought when you are playing a game where you can do anything you want without consequences.
