Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Single Player Expansions We'd LOVE To See

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been called one of the greatest video games of all time, and rightly so. It's characters are some of the most complex the medium has ever seen. The voice acting is world-class. The world is vast, beautifully realized, and insanely detailed. The themes of regret and redemption are undeniably powerful. The story is equal parts inspiring and devastating. It is proof that games CAN be considered art.

But...

Although the game has had remarkably few complaints levied against it, one of the most consistent is the lack of a single player DLC. The first game had the exceptional Undead Nightmare, a pulpy, campy zombie adventure that was separate from the main game's canon. It was silly. It was tongue-in-cheek. It stood in stark contrast to the heavy, morally complex tone of its parent game.

Thus far, Red Dead Redemption 2 has given us nothing comparable. Instead, Rockstar has honed into Red Dead Online, hoping to turn it into the same sort of cash cow that GTA Online indisputably is.

That's a shame, truly, because there are so many great things they could do with a single player DLC, such as...

The longest of shots, it could be really interesting to see what happened to Guarma after the collapse of Fussar's regime. Sure, it wouldn't be a proper Western, but neither was the entire Guarma chapter. This would be cool simply for the fact that - outside of glitching back - we never got the chance to really explore the island.

Hercule Fontaine was an interesting character - Haitian-born freedom fighter leading a revolt against the Leopold-esque Colonel Fussar.

Here's the thing about revolutions: things aren't immediately hunky-dory as soon as the fighting wraps up. There's still economic and sociopolitical unrest, as the country reels from the decimation of its government and tries to find new footing. There's often a power vacuum.

The fact that the Cuban Navy got involved with the conflict means that there's potential for international involvement. Perhaps Cuba sees an opportunity to exert its influence over the island. Alternatively, maybe one of the Guarman soldiers on Fussar's payroll attempts to rise up and take his place, turning Guarma into a military dictatorship.

Whatever the case may be, it'd be nice to see a revolutionary that didn't turn into the thing they hated most (à la Abraham Reyes in Red Dead Redemption).
