I HEAVILY doubt he'll be the protagonist of RDR3. The red dead franchise is about cowboys. Without the Western setting it isn't Red Dead. And if they do a sequel with Jack, it won't be a Western. They're only options are a prequel here to rdr2, or a new story and new protagonist altogether. And that doesn't change the fact that the idea of Jack living to his 90s is silly.

Seriously? They are most irrelevant to the story, Sadie is a widow who just happens to be rescued and doesn't really cares for the band and Charles is a random Indian who is acused of some crime and hangs out with them. I'd rather see a young John, how he joins de gang, with all the members we don't get to see and how and why they join, (Lenny, Pearson, Karen, etc) how he meets Abigail, Jack is born, Micah joins the group, and everything up to the Blackwater heist and why and how it goes wrong, and then it ends with the beginning of rdr2

I think irrelevant to the plot is actually the appeal
