By 1899...

>the plan was to get on a boat and go become ranchers in a far-flung country that nobody knew anything about
>the boat would have left from the wrong coast

Imagine if they made it to australia and we got a red dead set in the australian outback as you try to get your settlement going.

BASED OP

>then the Emu War began
Imagine running for the hills as a pack of Emus start mugging you.

Why didn't they just go to Canada

JUST GOTTA MAKE NOISE, ARTHUR!

>give away your freedom for a cucked Anglo nanny state
kys leaf nobody wants to live in your boring lame shithole

fuck off, namefag

based

Uncle founded the Based Department in 1899

I said the same thing.

Apparently they would rather be hunted like animals across the states then just migrate north.

Does Canada suck that bad?

dutch is like a neet that doesnt want to face reality.

except his life is being in the wilderness with his gang occasionally robbing shit for money.

they just got out of the cold nobody wanted to go back to it
if only they had like 6 guys like micah said then it would fine

user it was 1899, there were completely unsettled areas they could have disappeared into

I don't think it's said enough how great Dutch and Arthur's voice actors are. Say what you want about the writing but damn do they put in 110% into it and that alone goes a very long way in story immersion

>if only they had like 6 guys like micah said then it would fine
Yeah that's one thing Micah was right about. The gang had way too much dead weight. I think his dialogue goes something like this:
>"Me? I like a lean crew, just a handful of good killers. Move fast and hit hard."
Imagine how effective the gang would be if it was just Dutch, Arthur, Bill, John, Micah, Charles and Javier. Maybe you need Pearson too but you certainly don't need 7 prostitutes. Just Grimshaw, maybe.

oh I forgot Hosea, obviously him too

They're fucking great. They're wasted on a horseshit story though.

Dutch might be the greatest voice acting in any game ever. The game just also sucks ass.

End of chapter 6 hit me right in the feels. At least John got to live on in peace with his family...

>At least John got to live on in peace with his family...
haha yeah
would be a shame if there was a whole game about the past catching up with him too
haha

>when John gets super insecure after Jack is rescued from Bronte and apparently had a good time
you can't feed that boy no spaghetti, Marston

This, Canada has been called (by Canadians) the Last Best West for a reason.

The fact of the matter is Dutch was just a huckster with a messiah complex.

He got a few peaceful years which is honestly more than he deserves

Nobody ever blames Hosea as much as they should. He was smart, he knew what was going on, Dutch respected and listened to him, and he did NOTHING.

Huh? Dutch respected him but was still ultimately the one who makes the decisions. Hosea repeatedly throughout the game tells Dutch when he's making a mistake. The earliest example is in the very first chapter when you rob Leviticus Cornwalls train Hosea warns Dutch not to do it.

Hosea lost his teeth a while ago, probably around the time his wife died. The game actually establishes this early on. He swaggers about all confident about hunting the mother of all Grizzlies with Arthur, and then when the thing shows up, Hosea panics and pussies out.

Yeah he keeps telling Dutch they're making mistake after mistake, but he never forces the issue. He's old, and tired, and knows he just can't hope to match Dutch's extreme charisma and force of will.

this
hosea knew Dutch was a lost cause, and he was well past the time in his life where he felt like fighting him on it

I think Sean was one of the lucky ones. Died instantly, never even saw it coming.

Tilly best girl

imagine praising a videogame like its the second coming of Christ when the controls are from 2003 and everybody knew how the ending would turn out by chapter 4.

Why the fuck did Dutch go further and further East instead of North to Montana, Oregon or Washington? Easier to disappear and no Pinkerton reinforcements that could arrive via State Train.

I guess because they'd come down south from the mountains they didn't want to retrace their steps initially. Then once you're in Lemoyne, Dutch erroneously thinks it's a land full of idiots ripe for robbing - which of course turns out to be untrue.

After that, they have to stay close to St Denis because they have to get Jack back
So it's a mixture of Dutch's initial greed and then circumstance that forces them to keep moving farther and farther from the direction they want to be going in.
Several people in the gang remark on it, if I remember correctly

And of course once Dutch gets the idea to leave the country, that's all that matters to him

user anyone who played RDR knew how it was going to end. That doesn't mean the story of how it happens can't be interesting. Also I don't think anybody in this thread is praising it as the second coming.

Mary-Beth and Grimshaw are better

Imagine getting upset that people like a thing that you don't like

stop being a pussy bitch

If you think you're arguing with a fanboy, simply resort to this checklist, call him a fanboy, then ignore him. Watch him cower and recoil as he's been found out.

Gross

Is usury really so bad? I never got why based loyal Strauss got so much shit for it. It's not like he forced his victims to accept and since when does a group of killers and outlaws have any moral high ground over deepwater jewery

Checked. See

The gang prides themselves on being Robin Hood types that don't steal from "innocent folk". Strauss purposely seeks out people down on their luck who he knows will be unable to repay their debts. It's no mystery why Arthur finds that distasteful, hypocritical as it may be.

I do think Arthur goes too far in kicking him out of the gang, but considering what happens after that it was probably a blessing in disguise

>considering what happens after that it was probably a blessing in disguise
but in the epilogue it's revealed that Strauss was picked up by the Pinkertons and died in custody, without revealing anything about the gang

literally made for bwc

>not having whores waiting for you at camp

never gonna make it

They don't appear to ever put out, except for Sean

>you certainly don't need 7 prostitutes
Yes you do.

Why can't you have sex with whores?

Because Arthur is a fag who just wants Mary.

The fun part about all these books about Evelyn Miller is that you can read them yourself in the camp at some points in the game and they are all stupid as fuck.
All Dutch has is a likeable persona that completely spergs out the moment it's questioned.

arthur isnt perfect, he just gets pissed cause hes gonna die for bullshit.

he had no problem shaking down some kid when things were going smoothly.

Blondes love the big irish cock.

the issue is that dutch genuinely believes in the bullshit he spews up until (maybe) guarma which is where he gets his much-needed reality check. unfortunately, instead of making the old bastard go "okay well we need to approach this civilization thing differently" it breaks him and makes him rocket deeper into insanity. hosea's death didn't help but this was probably inevitable either way.

Arthur explicitly stated that he only kills when he has to. Why does Rockstar allow us to kill indiscriminately on our own time, yet they won't allow us to hire a working girl?
Why is consensual sex between adults bad, yet mass murder is ok? Why is Rockstar so hypocritical?
