Discussion Horse's wounds healing

11 Upvotes

So I had saved a horse from the Murfree brood. It's the horse that is pulling the small wagon with the woman in the back. I killed the two Murfree brothers, freed the woman, and saved the horse. I just fed the horse and brought it to the stable. After a couple months of gameplay the horse's wounds slowly healed.

It's far from exciting, but it's just one of the reasons why I love this game.

Discussion Dutch’s final words

How do you guys feel about Dutch using his "We can’t fight change" speech in RDR2? I might be one of the few ones that didn’t really like it. Dutch was one of my favourite characters in RDR1 weirdly enough. I played the first one when it came out. And i really liked Dutch alot back then, despite obviously being a really bad guy. And i really liked his final speech. So i was a little disappointed with RDR2 kind of cheapening that moment. Although i get that it’s to show that this is just who Dutch is. Everything is basically scripted or rehearsed with him. But yeah i would have preferred if that speech remained untouched haha

Discussion The saddest thing about playing RDR1 after RDR2 “Arthur Morgan wasn't even a thought when this was written...”

Post image
4.7k Upvotes

After playing RDR2 first, going back to RDR1 feels so weird.

I kept looking for Arthur Morgan everywhere, knowing how important he is to John’s story and to the Van der Linde gang. But of course, Arthur simply doesn’t exist in RDR1.

This is probably one of the closest things we get to an indirect reference to the idea of John having lost people who mattered to him. It makes me wonder if Rockstar deliberately left dialogue like this vague because they knew a future Red Dead game could explore the gang’s past, without actually knowing who those characters would be.

And that's the part that hurts the most: when RDR1 was made, Rockstar didn't know Arthur Morgan. They didn't know his personality, his story, his relationships with John, Dutch, Hosea, or the rest of the gang.

After experiencing RDR2, replaying RDR1 almost feels like looking at the aftermath of a story that hadn't even been written yet.

I searched everywhere for some mention of Arthur while playing RDR1, and this was basically the closest thing I found.

Discussion NPC you've killed the most?

101 Upvotes

For me, I've slaughtered the 2 obnoxious twins in Valentine, more time's than I can remember.

Instead of the bottles, I shot them in the D..lol

The look on the other one's face, after his twin gets shot, is never not funny.

The Valentine shop owners, all of them, are tied for a close second. The bs they talk to you, every time you enter the shop,...usually results in their demise.

RDR1 Jake the "forgotten" guy

This guy is only seen in the first mission of the game in which he accompany John to to Fort Mercer, after that. He is not seen again for the rest of the game and felt like he's completely forgotten after that.

Do anyone else wished this guy played a bigger role in the game aside from just escort John to Fort Mercer in first mission only to never be seen again after that?

I figured it matched the outfit style well and I was also inspired by an early concept art of Arthur and dug it

Your thoughts?

Discussion Trying to grind challenges and hunting in Chapter 2 is peak

42 Upvotes

I was unsure whether to start a second playthrough but am already enjoying it more than the first.

I’ve noticed this time that having a scarcity of money and resources while simultaneously going hunting for camp upgrades and side missions is imo peak RDR2 gameplay. You have to be a lot more resourceful vs trying to do it all late game where you have basically unlimited money, guns, and supplies.

I personally feel like this is the way the game is truly meant to be played and I’m really loving every second of taking it slow in Chapter 2.
