I'm pretty sure that was going to be a whole game from the jump. They'd have to create a whole new map and younger models, why would that packaged as a DLC? That screams standalone game.

Rockstar DLCs are usually non Canon scenarios (Undead Nightmare) or spin off during the story (TBoGT and TLaD)

they wouldn't do a whole prequel going back in time as a DLC.
A Blackwater dlc doesn't need a new map or younger models. All they would have to do is make it a few months before the ferry heist, and their camp set up on the outskirts of Blackwater.

It would make zero sense, that was when the Callandar twins and Jenny were alive, it's better off as a new game.

Unless you want it to be landlocked and you can't explore certain areas of the map

It doesn't make any sense why Arthur can't go anywhere near Blackwater or New Austin but John can, because Arthur wasn't even there for the heist. They cut hours of gameplay & footage from the final version, so even adding all of that back would be fine.

Probably intended for Arthur to go to New Austin and beat TB (warm places can help mitigate it)

Arthur going Mexico imo wouldn't make sense canonically. we shouldn't have had the RDR1 map imo, should've been just been RDR2 map and some more towns north of annesburg

Just finished and still trying to decide if I enjoyed my time with the game or not

I think it’s absolutely stunning in the amount a content and attention to detail. More than any other game I’ve played this world is believable.This has to be the most impressive game of all time in that aspect.

But honestly my time through the game felt like a slog that I just wanted to end. Probably the end of chapter 4 I was just over the game. At this point in my life my patience is at an all time low, and I just didn’t have any desire to do all the hunting and side stuff, riding that damn horse became a chore(my poor “A” button, had to hit it like 7billion times during my play through.:francis:) story was telegraphed way out and drawn out too long. From the first time Arthur coughed I knew exactly how this would end, I just had to watch it play out slowly over the next 10 hours.

All and all I’m glad I experienced it. Rockstar kinda made the Goat/Woat game here. So much shyt to do, so much content, story, attention to detail, so little fun.
this is EXACTLY how I feel.. I'm just about to do the last mission of chapter 4 (well it feels like it's bout to be the last..) and yeah I'm kinda over it now.

story's cool, but it's just so slow.. the transitions into cut scenes. the skinning of animals animation so slow. walking thru buildings and camp, so slow...

having to bash X to ride the horse .. trash, holding it woulda been fine, got damn


I dunno if I like the game or not. feels like I'm just playing it to finish it now, not cos I'm having fun. def had more fun with Assassin's Creed: Origin and Watch Dogs 2 in terms of open world's.. they had just as much detail imo but were so fukkin fun

Nah, I'm with the understanding that cooler air temp is better for people with TB.

lol, even in the game when he visited the doctor he was advised to be somewhere humid and away from damp places. Arthur responded "sure I can take a vacation at my home in California......no...it's not possible."

Right, but I thought it was told to him by the doc to be in a cooler altitude place as well.

Edit: just rewatched. You're right. Sorry about that.

No, I would've remembered that

It was thought that being in a warm climate would dry out the liquid in the lungs, neither of us are factually correct about real life TB. apparently it's never been proven.

Hunting pisses me off. Im doing everything by the book, placing head shots with the right caliber rifles and still getting 2 star and 1 star pelts :francis:

I don't remember exactly, but they show you if they are high quality pelts before you kill em right? Are you making sure you're killing high value animals?

I think you can look up where they're most likely to spawn, but yea if it's not high-value you can't get 3 stars no matter what

Either you going lower on the neck or throat, or you're gun dirty, but cleanheadshots with the required weapon always yields whatever star rating the animal had before you downed it. You just gotta be patient and know how to use Dead eye to get a good shot if need be. There is also an artifact you can craft that affects the star rating of the animals you encounter. If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to keep the animal's rating at whatever you met it at once you kill them, regardless of weapon/shot placement....but truth be told I haven't gotten it as yet, since I'm decent at hunting. In due time, though, but you might wanna check it out if you still having problems.​
