I've been wanting to start this up again but the main story doesn't have a horse made of god drat fire and that saddens me deeply :(

I've been replaying the main game and playing through undead nightmare for the first time at the same time, and it's really disconcerting to switch between the two and realize that my trusty old warhorse feels pathetic because he just doesn't have infinite stamina. And what must people think of John when he rides into town on demons?

This is a really good game, I don't think I can ever say it enough.

I had a hard time shooting him at all. By becoming obsessed with revenge and seeking out and murdering a man in cold blood, Jack has gone down the path of outlaw scum, the path that John specifically wanted to steer him away from. God knows what happened to Abigail with John gone and Jack just another outlaw. Jack is the worst.

drat powerful ending though.

I murdered every single one of them right up to Ross' wife just in case Jack got an ending like the one John got.

:stare: I never even thought about doing that. You people are monsters.

Although I guess I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to that sort of thing. I try so hard to resolve most random duels nonlethally that I get jarred when the game doesn't allow you to. I don't want to kill someone over a poker game, I just want to send them running to teach them a lesson. :unsmith:

Of course, in Undead Nightmare, I murder the poo poo out of every cannibal I find. I don't care that they're randomly generated and aren't bothering anyone, there are some lines that you just shouldn't cross.

I don't know why we should assume that Jack becomes an outlaw. Ross was a scumbag and the only thing that made him any different from an outlaw was that he had a badge and the law to help him carry out his murders, and got awarded and praised for it. That son of a bitch deserved every bullet he got, and I don't think giving them to him makes you a bad guy, that's just how you roll in the wicky wicky wild wild west.

The thing is though, that in killing Ross, Jack has become an outlaw. Jack killed a man (and in the case of many people in his thread, a man's entire family) in cold blood, and one way or another, Jack has rejected the better life that his father wanted for him, and embraced the same wild west that his father died trying to escape from.

If you want a 1940s GTA you might be better off trying Mafia 2. It spills over into the 50s and 60s more, but it has more game mechanics to play with and its story works better.
