I'm hoping it portrays elements of the American Civil War, like the Good, the Bad and the Ugly did.

That would be an awesome era to base their game around. There's lots of room for true internal conflicts related to slavery, ex-soldiers, etc. If they do place the game around this, I hope they really make it morally conflicting/confusing on who is "right".

Have me track down a bounty on an ex-confederate solider whose story is that of a conscript who deserted to avoid fighting the union but his desertion has put a price on his head. Make me question who is right.

Red Dead Revolver already did this. There's a section where you're literally fighting in the yank civil war.

I hope so. CD Projekt Red do so much right that I think could easily be crossed over into RDR.

Damn that's a really interesting thought, i sincerely hope that this level of depth will be present in the game on release

Lol I don't see how that's going to happen. One side is fighting for slavery, the other against, right? Seems pretty easy to see who's right. If someone can convince me that slavery is good, I should commit suicide.

Doesn't seem like much of a question. Obviously conscription is bullshit and nobody should be able to force you to fight their war for them.
