  • Saints Row: The Full Dex Storyline - The Complete Dex Storyline in Saints Row
    This video includes important mission dialogue and story cutscenes from Saints Row 1, Saints Row 2 Corporate Warfare & Saints Row Gat Out of Hell (SPOILERS AHEAD)
    I did not include Dex's death from the cancelled game: Saints Row Money Shot as it's non canon.
    I know there's a few people out there who've either never played Saints Row 1 or just don't understand why people care so much about Dex's character, so hopefully this video will help you better understand why.
    Dex is one of the most important characters in the older Saints Row games, it's just a shame that killing him in Saints Row Gat Out of Hell was not at all satisfying especially since it's pretty much a throwaway side activity, it could've at the very least been one story mission. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video.

      A idea I got for a saints row 3, it would take place in Japan ( as saints row 2 was originally going to take place there) and it would be an much interesting location compared to steel port, and it would continue the story from 2, the saints got ran out of Stillwater by the endless swarms of ultor soldiers ordered by Dex, so the boss interrogates one of the important figures of ultor and he would sell out Dex location which is Japan, there would be gangs inspired by different kinds of Asian gangs like the yakuza or triads , one of the 3 gangs you would take out would be made up of remnants of the ronin who wants to take revenge on the saints and they would be backed up by ultor so they would have new vehicles and weapons.

Jaros further explained that Dex was to appear in another project which "never materialized", and Volition, Inc. did not want to put Dex in the game and alienate players who did not play Saints Row or the Saints Row 2 DLC Corporate Warfare.

    I truly agree with the others saying that Dex should have returned after the events of 2 in the third; If the idea of Johnny getting killed would still retain, it would be from the hands of Dex. If not killed, then heavily wounded. I could also see Troy returning for this one, possibly helping them one last time, as if keeping the boss on life support after the events of Part 1 wasn't the last.
    Also, the hint of Johnny being a disdain to Dex would have been an awesome potential for a heated rivalry. Sad how it seemed that the only heat between them was the hell they were in, where he was underwhelmingly killed.
    Others, do educate me if this suggestions lacks or makes no sense. I'm still getting to know this series.

    Ya know what would have been great? If nothing else, Dex could have been a liutenant or something for the Syndicate. Maybe he gives Phillipe Loren the idea to expand his Syndicate to Stilwater, after the Boss takes over Ultor (As stated in Sr3's 2nd Mission). And the Saints could have dealt with Dex in Steelport. It would have tied up SR2's corporate warfare story perfectly. I mean, the Boss did say he'd find Dex in whatever city he went to.

It picks up 1 year after SR2, with Eric Gryphon showing up and letting the Boss know they have a lead on where Dex went. We're probably not gonna get this as an actual game ever so fanfiction is the only way.

      Saints Row 2 is good though. Might be 2nd best in the series with 3 being better
      3 is where they honed their craft and got rid of the respect system, which makes sense storywise, they also vastly improved Saints Row 2's new characters and made them at their best
      4 you can't put on the saints devs and more of THQ for forcing them to make a dlc into a whole game, which is ironic, but it was a fun experience and if it wasn't a saints row game, probably would've been a niche game that would never get a sequel and would sell fine, but it has the 2nd best activites in the franchise, with SR2 having the best activities, SR4 made the insurance fruad activity fun, which it should be celebrated for

    My theory: After the Saints fell apart and Julius betrayal, Ultor was formed eventually and brought in Troy and Dex to their team. I believe they tried to grab Gat too but he refused to join them else he won't get to blow things up and Ultor want these powerhouses(eventually lapdogs) to succeed. Which leads to Gat commiting crimes to show Ultor that he's loyal to the streets.
    The proof that Ultor need those men: Dex got a huge pay while Troy gets promoted and highly praised for involving in high risk tasks. Gat might have been their top assassin if he joined :o
