I don’t see why you can’t sell a horse in RDO. You should be able to, at least once a day.

Because you could make cash without grinding like a madman. Horses are super easy to find and capture. Can't have that when turning in a bounty gives you like 6$

Yeah I don’t recall horse selling in single player giving very much money, I don’t know why they couldn’t add it into rdo without breaking the economy.

I'm guessing horses (and guns) are among the few things in the game that they can get people to pay real money for.
Hard to convince people to buy gold if all you got to do is lasso a perfectly adequate horse in the wild.

I agree that it sucks, but my guess is that's the rationale.

I don’t understand Micahs actions when returning from island. Why was he snitching when we clearly were basically home free? I also don’t understand why Molly took the blame.

The Arthur end game kind of stinks.

Way too many Dutch “lol I’m crazy and starting poo poo, one more score!” Stuff and Arthur keeps going. Arthur should have fought back immediately after the betrayal at the oil factory.


Still, 10/10 fantastic game.

Micah was picked up by the Pinkerton's riding home after guarma. He chose to snitch on the gang to stay alive as they'd probably execute him if he didn't say anything.

Plus they only went to Guarma because bronte backstabbed them (or front stabbed I guess since Dutch starts everything) and tipped the pinkertons off to the botched train station heist. If anything they were probably closing up on the gang really fast.

Micah really is the weak link in the game and it really sucks. Because Rockstar tells these very first person narratives, their bad guys are always kind of weak, because there's only so much you ever see of them in the game.

But Micah could have been incredibly interesting since you could just interact with him throughout the game. But he's such an exaggerated dirtbag. His whole narrative is very, very lightly informed by Robert Ford (Sycophant who betrays his idol). And I think they could have done something better with that. Like having a character like Kieran or Sean end up being the big bad. Someone you actually like who fits into Dutch's cycle of having a favored young-blood character.

Inversely Molly's narrative actually is nice and subtle. You see her relationship fall about with Dutch and she's constantly trying to get Arthur or him to just loving listen to her. She just wants to be noticed.

This, I disagree with though. I think one of the big reveals of Red Dead 2 is that John really misinterpreted events in RDR. Dutch never went crazy. Dutch is a bullshitter and manipulator. Always was. One of my favorite little things in the game is that you hear the story of him teaching someone to read a couple of times, but by the third time it stops being sweet, and you realize that it's an indoctrination tactic.

I get the cliche of Rockstar characters being sarcastic assholes who do what they're told regardless, but I think they did a good job of selling why Arthur stayed with the gang (Habit but also trying to be there for John, Sadie, and Charles who still have a chance at life) while still giving him an outlet for being his own man (Getting rid of Strauss, the tribe missions that are optional).

See I got that completely. My question was “why did Micah continue to snitch after the moment he was back with the gang?” Like he was basically home free.

Also why were the Pinkerton loving waiting so long? They attack the gang in the swamp but after that they just wait forever.

The Pinkertons already have enough cause to kill/capture the gang, so it makes no sense that they wait so long to make their move after the gang flees the swamp.

IF Micah is continuing to snitch (which the game purports that he is), then the Pinkertons should have been aware of the gangs location (all of them) the entire time after getting back from the island. But the pinkertons don’t act like it. They wait for the gang to cause a bunch more mayhem over like 12 missions.

And Molly is a great character with a tragic arc but it doesn’t explain why she took the blame for snitching or even how she would know there was a snitch considering she had been gone for so long.

The Pinkertons are fascists, and therefore cowards. The Van der Linde gang has a superhuman, nigh-unkillable cowboy named Arthur Morgan, so they have to wait until the gang's morale crumbles from within to make their move.

Hrng. This would look awesome in RDO (minus the Pip-Boy).



New bug, to me, anyway: Using the metal detector and the jeanropke map, found two different buried item locations - but the "dig" prompt never pops up, even when the detector light is solid and the sound is "you're here".

One was a coin I only had like three of, the other was a random box. Reconnected later and they showed up just fine.

Random dig locations have been pretty good, so far. I've only run into one that was "empty" after opening the box - did get 50 XP for trying, though.

Honestly, I don't really mind that. What exists of New Austin in the main story kind of stretches credibility to begin with, but beyond that, I think New Austin is mostly there to sort of justify the Online experience.

So much of the map is fake Louisiana. It a very non-Western Western.

The guy you're quoting is specifically talking about Single Player, which your map definitely highlights where missions are. Your highlighted part of New Austin is used for a Single Player epilogue mission. he Penitentiary is definitely used in... chapter 6, I want to say.

Making Online take place BEFORE the main game was ill-conceived and is holding them back... huh, exactly the same thing that happened in GTO. Weird how the same loving problems keep happening. :rockstar:
