History Heartwarming / RedDeadRedemption

* Uncle. For all his faults, he cares about them enough to [[spoiler: give his life, fighting to protect him. Also, the fact that John Marston, who has no issues looting anyone, or skinning anything else, that has died, won't even loot his corpse.]]

* When [[spoiler: you're playing as Jack, and have him]] skinning animals, [[spoiler: he sometimes says, [[CallBack "Just like you showed me, Pa!"]]]] D'aw....

** John Marston will also turn down propositions from hookers by referring to his mother not approving. [[spoiler: That is John Marston '''Jr''', AKA ''Jack'' Marston, and both his parents are dead.]]

* [[spoiler:Landon Ricketts getting to pass away peacefully in his sleep.]] Anyone with a solid grasp of history knows that ''most'' historical gunslinging legends (Wild Bill Hickock, Billy the Kid, ect.) were usually brutally murdered. This includes [[spoiler: John, who gets gunned down by an entire company of U.S. soldiers even after going through hell to see his family one more time]]. That [[Ricketts]] was able to avoid the fate of many other legends is Heartwarming, if rather bitterly.

* For me, it was Landon Ricketts getting to pass away peacefully in his sleep.

* Sometimes, just outside of Armadillo, you can see a woman playing fetch with her dog.

** Similar to this, [[spoilers: Jack himself]] turn down propositions from hookers, referring to his mother not approving. [[spoiler: Especially considering how both his parents are dead.]]

* Learning in the epilogue that Bonnie [=MacFarlane=] is now apparently HappilyMarried. Considering all the crap that happened to her over the course of the game, it's nice to find out that she was able to move on from her crush on John Marston and find someone for herself, especially since she didn't have many suitors who wanted to marry a ChristmasCake.

* If you have your horse hitched up and walk away from them but remain close enough for them not to despawn (remain in town) they will sometimes somehow unhitch themselves to find and be near you.

* A small one, but the fact that John Marston turns down every advance by other women without hesitation, especially in comparison to just about every other Rockstar protagonist out there. [[HappilyMarried It quickly becomes clear how much he loves his wife.]]

* '''Irish:''' So long, John Marston. You're an angry and a feck ugly man... but not a bad one.

* As if [[spoiler:John's death isn't a tear jerker enough, there's a brief moment when he sends Jack and Abigail off where he gazes sadly after them, a gaze alone that says "This is the last time I see them..."]]

* The stranger mission "Who are You to Judge?" Though the ending is... odd, Jeb did get his sweetheart back, and for a [[spoiler:horse]], she seems to love him too. Particularly when compared with the other stranger missions, which tend to end in HighOctaneNightmareFuel or a TearJerker, this one is a welcome break. [[spoiler:Then again, it says something about a game when one of the happiest endings you get is a guy being able to bang his horse.]]

** Compass, that is all
** "Head home to see your family." Six words every player has waited to see since popping the disk in the machine.

* [[spoiler: When John is reunited with his family, and all his interactions with them after. [[TemptingFate Ah, all's right in the world.]]]]
