That's all right, I'm just as late!
I've been into RDR ever since I heard about it and it quickly became one of my favourite games once I got my hands on it due to its strong plot and engaging story as that is what I want in a game above everything else. The gameplay is pretty smooth, too. I picked it up again last month and was not disappointed, I fell in love with it all over again in no time at all!
I don't think I have one favourite character. I thought all of the characters had a generous degree of complexity, a certain something that made them fascinating. I liked Bonnie an awful lot and later on Luisa, I tend to be easily attracted to strong women. However, I figured John Marston was the most relatable character of them all.
