3. Meaningful Connections To The Main Story

One thing that may have flown over a lot of people's heads is that GTA Online was actually a prequel to the story of GTA V. The two stories never crossover in a worthwhile way, but an attempt was made by Rockstar to make it fit in with with the story of Michael, Trevor and Franklin.

Red Dead Online, whether it be set before or after the events of the main game, should endeavour to manufacture genuine connections with its main story too. A prequel would make more sense, for the sake of ensuring the main story doesn't get spoiled, but it would be great to see players link up with Dutch's gang in some way - even if it is just a fleeting encounter.

The scope for further links with the plot is certainly there, and with heists almost certainly set to feature as well, Rockstar could easily make Red Dead Online a compelling story of its own.
