I really think the character switch of GTAV would work really good for a Red Dead game. Perhaps even better than in GTA.
They could have like four cool characters who eventually team up and form a posse.. I was thinking..
An experienced mountainman, living like a savage in the nature, living by the code of the mountain men (always honest, never lie, never apologise), who works for both the army and helps out the indians, always balancing it out between them to avoid mayor bloodshed.
A Texas Ranger who is slightly arrogant and very proud, with a deep hatred for the native americans since apaches slaughtered his family.
A ex-bank robber who is an outlaw but turns out to be the most likeable of the team, always funny, a man with witty oneliners and always making fun and bullying the others, very charismatic and a true womanizer, he's carefree and a loose canon. He is known to have robbed many banks but just as quickly spend the money on whiskey and women. He and the texas ranger were mortal enemies back in the days.
A smooth and sophisticated Englishman who works as a bounty hunter and helps out the others with a mutual interest.
Each and every character could have their own solo chapter before they eventually team up and work together to defeat a common enemy or something. It'd be extremely awesome if a young John Marston, Dutch van der Linde and the others had a small appearence in the storyline.
Improvements could be a bigger map with more empty nature without roads and stuff, the ability to swim and more ways of living off the land like fishing and roasting and cooking killed animals, more hunting abilities and so forth. I would also like a bigger town and more settlements, but a big western town would rock because that's what RDR missed in my opinion. Also, a bigger appearence of native americans would be great, the wars between them and the US army could be a great theme in the story. And also, more creative ways of killing people.. like, the Texas Ranger could have a special ability of hanging his victims at a rope on a tree, the mountainmen would have special skills with knives and native american weapons like bow and arrows, the Englishmen would be a perfectly skilled shootist and the bankrobber a good hand-to-hand combatant and brawler being the kind of guy who would start a bar brawl over a woman... stuff like that.
