Near Hennigan’s Stead in New Austin, players can find a rather dirty bison that has short black hair and a thick gray coat around its head.

It retroactively makes him a more dynamic character int he first game due to the information players gather from his time inside the Van Der Linde gang. Since they're kind of a package deal you can go ahead and add his wife Abigail right next to him at the #3 spot on the list.


Red Dead Redemption 2 's original score works equally as a thematic landscape of the old west as well as it does an emotional vessel for the game's narrative. The opening track, By 1899, The Age Of Outlaws And Gunslingers Was At An End , eerily sets the tone for the story of Dutch Van der Linde and his gang, attempting to remain outside the law in a country that no longer tolerates the concept. Afterwards, we're greeted with the slow whistling introduction of Outlaws From The West , before the game's iconic western theme busts in, truly establishing the story's vibe. The song, which would play perfectly with any western film from the 60s or 70s, uses its drawn-out guitar riffs and flute to set the landscape for a world of both incredible natural beauty and harrowing danger. We're instantly introduced to the feeling of hope that anything can be accomplished, and the dread that anything can be taken away, a concept that defines Red Dead Redemption


The Wild West is synonymous with freedom and possibility, even if those possibilities are less than virtuous. The Pinkertons worked as the government's dirty hand in bringing that chaos to order through whatever means possible. Bank robbing is dirty business, but so is spying on labor unions and intimidating organizers, activities that were common for the Pinkertons back then. The player doesn't get to pull the trigger on Andrew Milton, but it was still so satisfying to see Abigail put a bullet through the side of his sk


The Hitman game Rankings franchise features Agent 47, an international contract assassin for works for the International Contract Agency or ICA. Agent 47 eliminates high profile criminals for powerful and wealthy clients. The main focus of the game is to take out assigned targets. The game ranks the players on the way they accomplish the assassination and even rewards them with items and cash bonu

At first, Simon Pearson comes off as a whiny and needy man who just so happens to be the gang's cook. As time unfolds players come to realize that he's simply a man not cut out for this lifestyle. He's never mean to Arthur Morgan, and he only becomes frustrated when his livelihood is directly at stake.


It probably isn't a surprise that a Grand Theft Auto game is on this list, half this list could have been covered by just GTA games! But GTA V is the best (so far) out of the series and the best crime video game. The game's story mode is told through the perspective of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin, three men who each live a life of cr

Javier Escuella experiences a big change during the events of the second game despite starting as a likable and trustworthy member of the Van Der Linde gang. He looks up to Dutch quite a bit, just like his closest friend on the gang, Bill Williamson.

You have to be unlikable in a Western for your most defining character trait to be the silhouette of your cowboy hat. Bill Williamson was known for having one side of his hat up and pressed against the center. He was also known for being a real big jerk.


Some video games have players take the role of a hero who does everything within their power to stop injustice, and other video games let players actually be that injustice. There's a big fascination with walking down a darker path and exploring the seedy underbelly of the world of crime. It can be pretty fun to take part in fictional crimes, from heists to assassinati
