I'd say they do a pretty good job of setting up why Marston came back (couldn't make an honest living up north), how they tracked him down (he kept forgetting his own fake name because he's a bumbling dumbass), and what happened to the rest of the gang (fewer dead than expected!). I enjoyed it even if playing as Marston is weirdly unsatisfying after 50+ hours as Arthur Morgan.

Like, when John can met up with Tilly and Pearson and Mary Beth, it was just so empty. No closure of any kind.

Although the epilogue did lead me on an adventure to track down everyone's graves. Which led to me going back to the site of the final battle to see if Micah got one. Nope, they just left his sorry rear end in the snow to be a popsicle. And you can take his gun.

I missed this entirely on my first play through. Are these stranger encounters? I ran through this my first time because I was so involved in the story, I missed a ton of the side missions - once chapter four started I was full steam ahead on the story missions. This time though, I've just started chapter six and I can't believe all the poo poo I missed.

It is insane how many cool backstories you can hear hanging around the camp. I'm not talking about mission-specific dialogues either, you have to hang out there at various times of day for extended periods of time to hear them randomly come up. Although I noticed this pretty early on so while I definitely missed some scenes I feel like I got more than my share.

I like the epilogue, but I was very thrown off by how linear and constraining it feels. There is sort of a sweet spot where it feels like it opens up and you can really just be a badass cowboy roaming the wilderness and getting into scrapes. But even when the story isn't moving in a pretty linear fashion, it just doesn't feel right to go exploring because that's just not what the story is and I'm too much of a dork to break that too much. The epilogue just didn't serve me in feeling like I could go out and have ongoing cowboy adventures. I think I'm eventually just going to replay it from the start and do almost everything you can in the main story.

I had a camp conversation where it was just Micah buttering Dutch up. Like, he was being so obvious my jaw actually dropped and Dutch was just eating all that horseshit right up. Glad to know that my decision to only antagonize Micah at camp remains a good one.

Is there ever a moment when Micah doesn't come across as a piece of trash worthy only of contempt and scorn? I haven't had a single interaction with him where he hasn't been over the top lovely and annoying.

Have you considered that Red Dead is bad, actually, because the protagonist isn't racist and sexist enough??

I liked Micah's exchange with Arthur and Bill during a stagecoach robbery. Micah: Arthur, spring the lock. Arthur: Why am I springing the lock? Micah: Because this was my plan and Bill's an idiot.

Pearson was weird in my game, he chatted to John but it didn't do an actual cutscene like the others got, it was just normal dialogue.

On a different topic, do we think a RDR1 remake as DLC is a shoe in? It seems insane that they've gone to the trouble of building all of New Austin but just leave it almost totally empty (+ those voice files). I'm really really hoping they don't pull a GTA5 and just focus on online exclusively, even though I know they probably will because it makes them megabux.

Steve McQueen is a good guy bounty hunter who punches out bad guys who ogle women, and helps to clear innocent men wrongly convicted. He was a SJW on a TV show in the *50s* so they can miss me with that bullshit.

The Good Cowboy who only does Good is a silly trope that's easily spotted and laughed at, but I almost feel like you have to sanitize at least the lead so that the audience gets to see and be immersed all the rootin tootin six gun shootin action of the Wild West without feeling too vile about it. How awful would it be to play as a Skinner brother or whatever, or Micah, so there's just no possibility for redemption (  ) or an interesting character arc. I also laughed and closed that video the second I saw it was an hour loving long, good lord go outside

This is really a game that actively punishes you for being a jerk, with how quickly you can rack up absurd bounties that will force you into being a murderhobo who isn't allowed near civilization.

And when you do become a murder machine, the people at camp lecture you. I’ve been taken to task for killing people by all of the girls, Pearson, and Rev. Swanson. Saint Denis is the worst - you bump into someone and get a bounty for assault.
