Wolfsheim posted:(epilogue chat)Also Dutch just kinda showing up seemed really odd and out of place. Like I know he was basically supposed to be a man lost but he just seemed to be doing things and siding with or against Micah at random? I dunno, it felt weird that he would come back at all but like they had to include him because he was such a prominent figure in chapters 1-6. I'm also glad that characters I liked the most during the game such as Sadie and Charles survived and moved north or whatever, instead of dying like most of the rest of them end up doing. I was pissed when Lenny died, since he was my other favorite character. I really wish we got more Javier than we did; it seems like he and Bill kind of just side with Dutch at the end out of story necessity and not much else.

I'm about to be in Chapter 6 and it's still weird for Dutch to be going on about needing more money and Arthur agreeing while sitting on like $20K

I think we can all agree though that (epilogue again) "HELLO SON" is the best way Dutch could have come back.

If you haven't seen Arthur Morgan fly off of his horse while the cinematic camera is on then you have not truly played this game

If you go back to that ledge where you meet up with micah in the story, the one above the woodcutting plot near strawberry, there are two things you can grab there and one sorta explains why dutch was there at the end if i remember right.

First of May posted:I kinda figured that'd be the case, just based on how crazy hard it is to do branching fiction. But it seems like a lot of the dialog and conversations could be dependant on player choices earlier on. Like, does the love interest always return the ring at the end, or can that play out differently? Is Arthur always on the "I'm a bad man" lamentation at the end, even if your moral meter is high? The real player choice you have is how deep you want to go into the relationships of the characters. You can really build your day around chores, hunting for camp, a mission, and having dinner and a nightcap. Or, you can ignore all that and plow thru. It's not really choices that affect the world dramatically differently (though the ending does give you a couple different ways to play out) but instead the choice to pursue these NPC friendships and feuds. What worked for me in this game was how natural some of the story beat progressions were, I felt I had more control than I really did. That doesn't work for everyone but for me it kept my head in the story. Why won't you be able to play the game? Donovan Trip fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Jan 2, 2019 |

I tried to help level up some friends and took our posse into PvP mode. This doesn't mean you only get team modes, and we got quite a few modes where we were all enemies. Rockstar I'm trying to help my pals not murder them

Donovan Trip posted:Why won't you be able to play the game? Don't own a PS4, don't have the time for a game this big anyway (still behind on Shadow of the Tomb Raider). I've been watching someone play it on Twitch and curious about just how much the world and characters changed based on player actions. It's an absolutely gorgeous game, and some of the scenes are genuinely great. Thanks for humoring my questions!

I'm up to Chapter 4 now but I got pickpocketed so I caught & hogtied the thief and realised I was standing outside the police station. So I figured hey why not carry the criminal in to it and see what happens. But... apparently a witness thought I was kidnapping the dude so I had to promptly dump him in the street and split before the cops showed up.  turtlecrunch posted:It isn't really dynamic or anything, the main story goes the way it goes regardless of what you do. The ending has slight flavor differences based on what end of the honor scale you are at I think, and then you do get to make one significant mission choice in that chapter. Some of the 'vision' cutscenes have different animals too. At the end of one mission if you're high honour you see an elk but if you're low honour then you see a wolf instead or something.

FlamingLiberal posted:Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was like 'huh?' when he just appears and then walks away after shooting Micah. Story-wise that was the only thing that really bothered me. Dutch shouldn't have been there at all. Otherwise it was a hell of a story, even if I think the much lower tension during the epilogue kind of neuters some of the great story tension that you get in Chapter 6. I do like how it ties up going into RDR1, even if it's sad to see you building the house and getting John's family back when you already know how things end up from playing the first game. There was a really good discussion some pages back about this, and I wish I could remember what pages it was around to link you. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about but it gives some good perspective on this scene.

Also, maybe this is old hat but I thought it was more interesting that you could glitch your way back to Guarma than that if you do that and then keep going on an odd direction, you find a shark.

big trivia FAIL posted:I'm about to be in Chapter 6 and it's still weird for Dutch to be going on about needing more money and Arthur agreeing while sitting on like $20K One is has been stated before, but Dutch apparently had over a hundred grand in Blackwater. The second thing is that Dutch is full of poo poo. There is never an endgame. You are seeing the plan. A lot of this comes out in Chapter 6. The idea that there is nowhere in America for a man to be free is actively bullshit. We see people like Hamish who live the life that Dutch claims requires more money to sustain while Dutch fucks over the only people in the game who the US government actually is trying to stop from having peaceful lives. What I will say is that the game does a poor job of really establishing the reputation of Dutch and the gang. Like Jesse James was legitimately a celebrity at the time who lived under an alias. I could see before things going to poo poo in Blackwater as the gang living a pretty comfortable live under assumed named before Dutch hosed it up. But the game is surprisingly vague.

Transmogrifier posted:There was a really good discussion some pages back about this, and I wish I could remember what pages it was around to link you. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about but it gives some good perspective on this scene. Not sure if this is what you were talking about but I really liked TulliusCicero's take on the finale from a couple weeks ago: TulliusCicero posted:I actually think Dutch is totally there to kill Micah and is conflicted about revenge, because he knows deep down Arthur was right, and he has been hiding out the last few years tormented by the fact he watched his best friend/son die and did nothing. Hobo Clown posted:I like your read of that final scene a lot better. Dutch would likely be allowed in and could walk past the rest of the gang, and probably assumed he was going to be killed as soon as he shot Micah. Dutch got his revenge but John & Sadie robbed him of his suicide. TulliusCicero posted:I didn't think about the suicide angle myself but it makes sense to me with context about the first game. Dutch seems conflicted about Arthur giving up his life to save John's, who he now hates (or at the very least dislikes), but he is willing to let John go about his life because Arthur wanted that. When John tries to thank Dutch for saving him and Sadie, he just gives that dead, blank stare at him. As for the coincidence of Dutch and John visiting Micah at the same time, I always figured it was Dutch hearing the same rumor or tip that Sadie had heard about where Micah's gang was holed up and just managed to get there first. Not that far fetched.

Does it matter in which order I do the stranger/white cloud missions? Like, can I get all the way to the end of the game and still do stuff for the Professor, or is it done once I move chapters?

I've just hit a bug in the opening for a mission in chapter 4. It's the Sadie one you get from the basecamp. Basically the cutscene starts but none of the vocal audio tracks start. I can see them talking (and the subtitles) but can't hear them. Then when Dutch shows up and you go into the house with him, the cutscne just sorts of hangs on an outside view of the building. I've tried reloading my save with no effect and i've gone off to do other things just now (as well as restart the PS4), but is this a known type of bug and is there a way to fix it?

When John & Sadie finally disarm him, Micah says "Just like old times. All manner of folk making social calls!" and points to the cabin as Dutch walks out. To me that implies Dutch got there recently, not that they'd been riding together for years. I don't remember the newspaper quote exactly but I'm pretty sure it refers to the gang as the Micah Bell gang or similar, which it wouldn't do if the Van Der Linde of the Van Der Linde gang was running it.
