Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay: 12 Hands-On Details You Need To Know

10. John Marston's Early Nickname Is "Scars"

As mentioned RDR2 is a prequel, and as such we should be getting some insight into John Marston's role in Dutch's gang over time.

In the first game we were playing as Marston, hunting down the members of the gang as a way to bargain for freedom, yet here it's said that John's nickname is "Scars", and he certainly looks far less imposing than later in the timeline.

Another detail to note is John Marston gets betrayed by the gang in 1906, according to the first game, so now we know exactly when the game takes place.

Could it be that Marston gets betrayed, and we continue to play as both him and Arthur Morgan? If it results in Morgan dying and the post-credits endgame being entirely comprised of exploration as John, it'd be any fan's dream.
