Red Dead Redemption 2 is home to a plethora of great characters. Here are the best-designed ones in the game.
Despite being released back in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 is still largely considered one of the best and most immersive open world games ever made. The sheer attention to detail in every aspect, from the polishing of weapons and filling of stew bowls to the intricate symbiosis of the weather and wildlife, is truly unrivaled – even several years after its release. In addition to its great story and world building, the game also features a number of memorable and well-designed characters.
While many of Red Dead Redemption 2’s characters take the faces of their motion-capture actors, a lot of work has still been done in order to render the characters in the Old West. This is done through a variety of techniques such as refinement of facial features and clothing design. When combined, the performance of the actor, the fashion of the character, and their role within the world all combine to create iconic character designs, many of which will likely be remembered for generations to come. 8 Catherine Braithwaite
The Braithwaite family are one of the two rival plantation owners in Chapter 3, the area of the story centered around Rhodes. Catherine is the head of Braithwaite Manor, and her character design perfectly encapsulates the role.
Clinging to the decadence of a fading era, Catherine is a representation of an entire generation of wealthy business owners on the wrong side of the American Civil War. Her fine silk clothing is old-fashioned, even for the time period, and despite her dwindling fortune, she continues to sport an expensive gemstone necklace. 7 Arturo Bullard
Arturo Bullard is only a minor character, appearing briefly during the mission “Icarus and Friends”, but his memorable look is sure to have stuck with many players due to just how unique it is.
