Mattdrenaline Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Abigail Marston is a major character in Red Dead Redemption 1. We know she was heavily involved in the Van Der Linde gang but we've yet to see any confirmed appearance in any Trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 so far. So where is she. These are my thoughts.

X S Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm pretty sure she's in the Trailer you note. She even sounds the same, if she is, in fact, voiced by the same actress. The only difference I see is in eye color. The hair, brow line, nose and lips are pretty identical, though. Plus, they've already revealed Marston on multiple occasions, so I assume this is the one "hero" shot we've been given of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh i don't know I mean the spot on her cheek isnt there in RDR1 and the brows aren't really so similar in my opinion that's a hard call. The graphic difference is insane so not convinced yet really. Thanks for your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this has been discussed before and the consensus is that it's not Abigail. Doesn't look anything like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gh0stRyder Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Abigail was a prostitute so she is going to look younger and more "dolled up" with make-up so that could be her. In RDR1, she was very plain likely because she was focused on raising their boy and living a wholesome life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that doesn't account for the lack of mole and different colour eyes, both being details they wouldn't have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty marks are drawn on by women a lot throughout history. Heck women today put fake freckles on their faces. The eye color though, that I got nothing for so I guess there is where you have to figure they are different women. I didn't even notice that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's look at the timeline: RDR2 - 1899: The girl in the upper picture is obviously quite a young woman. Definitely on the lower side of her twenties, at most. Probably closer to 20 than 25. RDR - 1911: (12 years later) Abigail looks like she's easily approaching (or has surpassed) 40. Yes, I know people tended to visibly "age quicker" 100 years ago, but you're not going to convince many that she's in her early 30s. In conclusion, it would be tough to accept she's Abigail. Logically, Abigail should be around (probably over) 30 in 1899 in order to support the way she looked in 1911. Which makes sense because Marston himself appears to be in his mid-40's or so in 1911. That's my take, anywho . . . Edited August 1, 2018 by Cokeyskunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YodaMan 3D Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 That could be her, but the artist didn't pay enough attention in creating the young version vs the older version. The mole and eyes could just be an error in creative details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides it may just have been a mistake in creation for this game. Someone may have dropped the ball trying to make her prettier and didn't think the fans would notice those details.

jACKx Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Maybe we didn't see her in the trailer yet. I mean her presence may be a big reason why John betrays Dutch. It may be too big of a spoiler. We know she will be in the game, I just don't think we have seen her yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my take, anywho . . . According to her grave, Abigail was born 1877 meaning she'll be 22 in 1899 and was around 34 years old during Red Dead Redemption. Of course, she may of lied about her age although lying to your own son about such a thing seems extreme but I guess it's possible. Many of the women in my family deal with age very differently to the men, I have an aunt who has just turned 39 seven times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the woman looks around 22 but I don't it's Abigail. She looks and sounds very different, even her dialogue doesn't sound like something Abigail would say.

I never thought to reference her tombstone. And you're right - the woman in the trailer could be 22. I'm just surprised they made Abigail look SO old in the original. She definitely looks older than 34. Again, kudos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then it was the ultimate cure for everything that ailed ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
