Although I can imagine, what changed with the paywall? Wasn't it there from the beginning?

You're right, it was always there. I guess our biggest complaint was that there was nothing to do and everything cost millions of dollars. Then they added more ways to make money, only to increase the value of cars/items. With each new expansion you needed at least $1 million or more to even start the new money making missions. Bunker, CEO, blah blah. Had to spend money to make money. Then had to play in a public lobby to actually make big bucks. Public lobbies on PC are full of hackers and people who want to watch the world burn. So making money was quite literally a chore. Took HOURS. We hated it. Easiest way to get the money was to spend real world money.

Anyway, I just want fun stuff to do out in the west is all. I grinded all the way to lvl 100 in Red Dead 1 to get me that Zebra donkey. Even back then, that was somehow more enjoyable than what GTAO became in the end.

I just let a homesteader get murdered by bandits because I had just killed a black bear with a bow when the encounter started and I needed that 3 star pelt. While I was skinning I was thinking hold on buddy! But, I was too slow.

I find it kinda funny that you even have the choice to go after the money at the end since Arthur spends most of Chapter 6 trying to convince Abigail and John to leave. Arthur knows he's dying, the hell is he gonna do with the money anyway?

Arthur was a great character. I really enjoyed playing him and seeing his arc. I mostly played him as a good guy and someone that was resigned to his fate at the end of the his story.
Looking forward to the next part!

Arthur gets to die on his own terms

You can still do most of them. The ones that are Arthur-only are Mary's chain, and then ones from chapter 6 that involve his change of perspective: Edith Downes, the Saint Dennis Priest & Nun, and I think the widow/Charlotte.

I found the widow last night as John, pretty sure I started the whole chain of events where you help her hunt and not die. She asked me to come back later once she's rested, so looks like that's accessible post story.

If you do that one as Arthur, though, you can visit her as John and she'll actually be 8 yrs older. John tells her that he passed away and they have a nice chat. It's really sweet.

Non, je ne regrette rien


Epilogue/stranger mission question: Can you do the veteran quest chain as John? Because I got his kickass horse a few missions before the end of the main story, finished Chapter 6, and only then realized John doesn't get any of Arthur's horses.

I dunno. A schofield revolver is 1,000 bucks online and I've only made 100 bucks so far playing the last 3 hours..... so unless money picks WAY up later they're probably being optimistic.

There is no gambling in RDRO, possibly because they're rolling stuff out slowly for the beta, possibly because it would prevent them from selling cash cards to whales.
