Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Characters We Need To See

Yale’s least favourite professor, Harold MacDougal is an acquaintance of John’s who is writing a book about Native Americans and using his friend Nastas as a reference. Don’t let his degree fool you, he’s small-minded, naïve and ignorantly prejudice. A real people person…

Marston has many interactions with MacDougal throughout the campaign, usually just as a byproduct of Nastas helping him find Dutch Van Der Lin and his new gang of outlaws. His past behaviour is referenced throughout the story, and his exploits at his university and overall general attitude towards other races is the main focal point of his character, meaning Rockstar could show if his personality was always this “unique”, or a gradual evolution of feelings that grew as his cocaine abuse escalated.

He’s also a crazy mother hubbard, and it’s always fun to see animated characters making a return.

MacDougal is Rockstar’s caricature of education heavy and “book smart” people failing to use their knowledge to combat the ferocity and practical dangers of the Old West. Seeing the professor as a younger, inexperienced, and ill-equipped man would be welcome.
