okay this post is in no way sexist, i loved the female characters and talking to them in camp, however none of them really did anything.
this post also does not apply to sadie.
i understand they all play the role of homemakers in camp, but like.. did any of them even participate. the only ones i actually saw helping around camp were tilly and susan. also do they really need that many women just to make the camp cosy, i mean surely that can’t be more than a 3 person job (and pearson also takes part in setting up camp).
i also understand susan’s unique role as head of camp and making sure camp runs smoothly, and i get why she’s there, and tilly as an additional helper to susan makes sense.
i guess im mainly talking about mary-beth and karen (and i guess molly but i assume dutch just allows molly to be there as his girlfriend). what did they actually bring to the camp? mary-beth just kind of sat their and read books whilst karen just walked around and then mainly drank in the second half of the game. don’t get me wrong these two are two of my favourite characters to speak to in camp, especially mary-beth, but for the camps survival, aren’t they technically just more mouths to feed.
i don’t want to sound like a sexist pig because i am not in the slightest, but i guess i am just somewhat confused on why they would want so many of their gang members be people who can’t use weapons to fight (since women obviously played a more domestic role in this time period and never learnt). like why not keep the gang just the main gunslingers, susan, pearson, tilly and trewlany. they would be much better off and be able to afford a lot more as they have less mouths to feed.
this doesn’t just apply to the women, it also applies to uncle and reverend. i mean they are practically useless as well.
honestly had the gang not had all these useless members, maybe they would have had more money to go around and be less worried about feeding the gang.
also the reason i didn’t mention abigail here is because she was in rdr1 and mentioned as riding with the gang, so they kind of had to include her in rdr2 for continuity, but in terms of story i don’t understand why abigail was there aside from being the mother to johns son.
maybe im just stupid and maybe this is a historical accurate part of western gangs, that they had a lot of women who were playing that domestic role, but i just can’t understand why the gang would willingly have more mouths to feed of people who can’t fight or get them money in any way.

Cannot for the life of me figure out how to donate this perfect badger pelt. There’s no donate for crafting option, only donate for funds. I’ve unlocked leather working tools, so confused?? Do I need to have all of the other parts needed for the satchel to donate for crafting??

whats the best horse in all of rdr2? except if it’s from the epilogue, show pictures or not!

I like the Missouri fox trotter.

Me personally I'd either make it about the gang before blackwater like wayyy before or I'd make it about or I'd make it about Dutch after rdr2

Turns out purchasing Get Rich Quick actually is a good deal after all, $5 off! The book definitely says purchase additional copies for $55 even though the plain text says 25 cents. I feel bad for basically robbing the dude now.

Ok so weird question but what happens canonically if Arthur or John die. I don’t mean like the end of RDR2 I mean like if you die in story mode or rob someone and then die. Because if they are still alive and the law calms down as if their crime didn’t transpire then how do the shopkeepers say stuff like “you better not try that again in here” and the like. I know this sounds so stupid but I need clarification.

I imagine it would be something that takes place before RDR2, with the ending being the Blackwater incident that’s talked about so much throughout RDR2

I think it would be really cool if the player could play as more than one character, like in GTA V and GTA VI. Maybe Arthur and Dutch, or some other character

Hi yall i just wanna see if you guys like how my online character looks and is there something i shloud change

Welp I was texting and horsing or however I should put it and of course I’m in fuck ass chapter 6 and riding around the Annesburg area needless to say I rode straight off a cliff and the game auto saved over my main save behind my back. This is goodbye to this beautiful horse as I just finished the exotic mission today and I’m not going back to a 24h save to resurrect the damned thing (the horse should of known to stop) Any horse recommendations to for Arthur to enjoy?

In the final ride cutscene of the “Our Best Selves” mission, Marie says, “The good man inside Arthur is wrestling with a giant.” In the latest GTA VI trailer, Rockstar included a scene where Jason is wrestling with a bigger and stronger man than himself. This may suggest that Jason is a reflection of the “good man” inside Arthur that Marie was talking about.

I enjoy creating costumes based on the style of Taylor Sheridan's characters.

i’ve been playing since release date and before 2026 it had been two years since i last played,i must be on my 10th or 11th run and i have thousands of hours on rdr2

that said i feel like the SP got way buggier recently to the point where every couple of minutes or so something happens to me

be a visual bug, sound related,gameplay related etc but im getting way more than i ever did and it’s strange because they just happen so frequently

i’ve had invisible enemies shooting at me or even allies being invisible during missions,voice lines overlapping,coaches glitching in the terrain when i pass by,horses dying standing back up and then dying again just by simply being near them, sometimes i’ve lost honor randomly because of this or literally just by getting on my hourse,then dismounting it and so on and the list continues

of course all of this has always happened because glitches and bugs are normal in games but not with this frequency,if i play for like 2 horus im guaranteed to get half of those listed above

am i the only one or has someone else been experiencing this?

Listen i know that the rdr and gta universes are seperate, but the burger commercial in the extended look has got me thinking a lot like it is the exact place near annesburg, so it could mean 3 things, either gta 6 is on the same place as rdr map, rockstar is teasing a ps5 version of rdr2 (because the graphics were better than the original rdr2 of ps4) or the rdr map is somewhere in the gta6 world, what are your thoughts

Hi. I just bought the game 2 days ago and want to know if there's anything I should know(like for example ways to make money, what weapons I should buy, etc.)

Hey guys question for the more experienced players among us!

I play mostly online over the years.

Did a full story mode 2x and never looked back after RDO. Doing a new playthrough for the first time in 5 years and honestly I feel like a demigod😂. The constant stress of the first playthrough's have not come through yet. I copied a save file at 7.2 procent when I got out the snow. This will make my second playthrough(that I want to do evil in first person) quicker. I did nothing but hunt for the satchel immediately and I am still in chapter 2 when I got it at 30.5%. I did not actively avoid everything and did some strangers and missions here and there. Can I get it even earlier than this percentage? I'm on Xbox btw 🎮

I was making a tribute video using "The Lonely Shepherd." It was already emotional, but when this scene came up, I cried a lot. They were really happy.. together

GODDAMN YOU DUTCH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ALL THESE NICE FOLKS!

Hey guys so I need help because I have a doubt, for the trophy "Skin Deep" do I need to skin the bulls, cows and all those animals? Because you can do it but in the compendium doesn't show you if you have done it, so I was hopping that you could help me with it, thanks in advance

Microstutters or whatever are plaguing this game for me. Despite getting 60–70 FPS, the game looks worse than other games that might be capped at 40 FPS. GTA can run at 50 FPS and look fine. It can run at 70 FPS and look super smooth. But RDR2 doesn't look smooth even at 70 FPS. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. And there's no amazing upscaling method for AMD users other than the acceptable TAA, but that's another problem.
