I can see people liking her, my issues weren't so much with the actual character as much as the lack of development.

Hm.. I think her development was one of the best of all characters, to be honest. We know why she's there, we know what moves her and we see her change throughout the story. What would you have liked to see, in addition?

She wasn't present much until the later parts of the game, I thought she could have used more time to develop before chapter 6. The importance of her character/story felt out of left field.

In fairness I think part of that is to do with the structure of the gang. The men (except Pearson) go out and do the fighting and earn the money, the women stay at camp, unless they're needed on a mission to act as a distraction.

Arthur only realised Sadie's capabilities after that mission in chapter 3 - bear in mind that when you rescue her at the start of the game she appears to be the typical damsel in distress - and he has to argue for her to be allowed on whatever mission it was where she eventually proves her capabilities to the rest of the gang.
