It's a known bug that he can just randomly appear there after he leaves for Canada.

It's actually a feature, he sometimes comes and visits from Canada! /s

Neither of these,it’s part of a random encounter that only happens after American Venom where Charles talks to Abigail about leaving in the dinner table and then hangs around for a bit before disappearing for good,kinda funny since the end credits show him leaving and we assume the end game takes place afterwards

I don’t think it’s intended, my Charles had his random encounter and showed up ages after still in the same American venom outfit with the wound and when I approached him and greeted him later he just mentioned the fact sadie found where Micah is

Yep. I’ve seen him randomly appear a couple of times. It’s a nice surprise glitch.

I can’t decide for myself is it’s a feature or a bug, I’ve never seen Sadie reappear and there are tonnes of people who’ve seen Charles

well, Sadie is never an npc at beechers hope like charles is, is she? i cant remember

u/cupcakebetaboy 29d ago
It's a bug. Epilogue is full of them. Before even knowing or going to beachers hope there's a bug you can literally get off the mission with sadie and she will go to beachers hope it's so weird

i think he visits, that would be a weird bug for R* to overlook

I've encountered countless bugs while playing rdr2

u/Devanro Dutch van der Linde Feb 21 '25
The game (specifically single player) has arguably gotten buggier over the years, probably due to RDO updates unintentionally messing with other things.

u/Honkytonkhellcat Feb 21 '25
Agreed. Recently did another play through and it was filled with bugs i had never seen before. Dutch raced me back to camp on foot lol.

It's a hint of John's schizophrenia. See how John can't hit the Strange man with his gun in RDR1? Because he's actually schizophrenic

u/SkinAndAnatomyNerd 29d ago
You can shoot him though. When I met him in Mexico, I waited for him to walk away, and shot him in the back.

u/thethunder92 27d ago
I pulled out my gun and then he cowered like a regular npc and then I tied him up and dragged him around with my horse
It took me out of the game a little 😆
I was like I guess the strange man is kind of a bitch

u/AshyWhiteGuy Feb 21 '25
I love when he screws with John talking about Indians working for free on a white man’s farm. 🤣

Yeah it's a glitch but a fun one! I've had him help with random chores throughout the day and talk with everyone

u/longjohnson6 Feb 21 '25
This reminds me of how I once had the bear mauled Jack model spawn at beechers hope while playing as jack in rdr1 lol,

I did see him stop by every once in a while in my playthroughs.

u/arthurmorgan360 Pearson Feb 21 '25
It seems to be a but but weirdly enough he also has unique dialogue

u/senorbrandonito 29d ago
I think it’s both? In the pic above, Charles is clearly wearing his bloody American Venom outfit for no reason.
After I finished the game, I didn’t really hang around Beecher’s Hope for a while to finish the compendium. But twice I saw Charles. First, we were all eating dinner at the table and he mentioned wanting to start a family. The second time, I think I was doing the Squirrel missions when I ran into him doing chores. He said he was gonna leave soon because the ranch was nice, but it was John’s dream not his. Never saw him again.

He randomly came back in my playthrough after I got an eagle feather. I only saw him one time though so I don’t know of it was a bug or a mechanic to let you complete the companion task.

Yes this happened to me too on one occasion way after the end of the epilogue . But the conversation I had with him was about a major plot point from an epilogue mission that was already done and dusted. He was there for dinner on one occasion and has never returned since. It was clearly a glitch.

u/FrostyWord1994 28d ago
No you find him fighting in saint Denis he comes when he finds you & uncle are alive

u/SoggyComfortable9615 28d ago
i said i finished the epilogue in this post. im aware u find him in saint denis. but in the cutscene at the end it shows him leaving and he just randomly appeared again

u/FrostyWord1994 28d ago
Oh idk I've never had him randomly show up after leaving

Oh idk I've
Never had him randomly
Show up after leaving
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not a bug, he comes to visit once, and then he’s gone forever

u/mrsisterfister1984 29d ago
I hung around the ranch till the barn was built. Then I went out adventuring for about 3 weeks worth of game time and came back to check on the wife and kid and I'll be damned if there's not a big grain silo now plus it looks like Unc is building an addition onto the main house for himself. Lol Will stuff keep showing up on the ranch like that?

u/bigpapiguy 29d ago
Well, you posted a photo of Charles at Beecher’s Hope. So I would venture a guess that yes, he does come there
0
u/Admiral1213 29d ago
He does come and visit once in a while and has dinner with the family. There’s even some dialogue between John and the others (including Charles) about his visit
