If I had the final say on who stayed in my gang forever,
sadie Adler would be top of the list. She's relentless, unpredictable in battle, and somehow fiercely loyal once you earn her trust. In 'Red Dead Redemption 2' she evolves from grief-stricken to downright terrifying in the best way — the kind of person I'd want watching the perimeter at night. Beyond the combat, she brings an attitude shift to the whole camp; she forces you to stop pretending everything’s civilized and actually do something about injustices, which I love.
Charles Smith is another permanent fixture for me. He's the quiet backbone—great tracker, excellent with animals, and emotionally steady. He balances folks like Sadie and keeps the group from spiraling when tensions flare. Plus, his knowledge of the land makes hunting and scouting a breeze, which means fewer scraps and more food at the campfire. I’d also keep Pearson around because nobody cooks stew like him and his practical outlook keeps morale from tanking.
Last slot? Hosea if I could, because his schemes and calming presence shape the gang’s identity; if not him, then
mary-
beth for stories and kindness. Those four or five make a gang that’s scary in a fight, smart in plans, and strangely warm when the night gets long. That mix of teeth, brains, and heart is exactly the crew I’d ride out with — messy, loyal, and impossible to forget.
