Speculation If rdr2 had a dlc where you could switch between charecters like in gta5, who would you play as and what would you do as them.

Dutch seems interesting from a gameplay perspective, imagine if you manage and recruit different gang members that join your gang

u/HealthySense6197 14d ago
yeah, with an RPG dialogue option with NPCs to sweet talk or coerce them into the gang.

u/Libertine1187 13d ago
Your different gang members could be proficient in different things, so it's all about gang management.
Can't send your best gunslingers all off getting money, cos if the Lemoyne Gang attacks whilst they're gone, you have to defend using Uncle, absolutely wasted, with a bolt action rifle.

u/HealthySense6197 12d ago
well, that was already the case, because EVERYONE DEPENDED ON ORTHOR MOST OF THE TIME. which is a vital part of being the main character of a game. but yeah. imagine you could pick any of them for any missions and they all have different talents who are usable for different skills.

It would be cool if the story would change depending on the character's honor like Arthur. I'd wonder what it would be like if everyone had high or low honor.

u/FavorsForAButton 14d ago
Charles would be good, especially if they had racist interactions to show just how fucked it would’ve felt being him.
Same with Javier/Lenny.

It would improve your experience if others were more racist towards you?

More so the shift in perspective and the player’s experience with the denizens of the world

I'd jump off so many cliffs as Micah. I'd be a mobile chicane for trains. I'd be a march swimmer joining a pack of alligators. I'd go searching for Murphree broods with no weapons except my own two fists. I'd make a habit of wandering into heavily protected forts. I'd become a regular in every single jail across the map

I don't think it would work so well for the type of atmosphere rdr2 has, as opposed to gta 5. You're meant to spend a lot of time soaking your surroundings in and getting engrossed in the wilderness and surroundings, it would kinda be broken if you spent your time swapping from person to person. But John would be the obvious one.

It was always fun to be an absolute psychopath as Trevor, so I'd love to act out in the same way with Dutch or Micah.

Micah. Keep jumping off the cliffs, get drown after jumping off a waterfall, and go on a midnight hike to get ravaged by wolves.

For the longest time, that's exactly how I envisioned the game would play post main-story. I would have bet money on that we'd be able to switch between Arthur and John.

I want to play with Sadie more than anything. I'd probably like Charles too. And even though John has his own game and the epilogue in this one i think I'd like to do like an opposite of Arthur parallel run with him. I find it much easier to be a piece of shit with John than with Arthur, so to have him making a mess and Arthur doing the big brother clean up and trying to get him to straighten out would be cool and would make the epilogue and him getting revenge that much sweeter.

u/Winter_Manager_1192 13d ago
Charles would be too busy hunting or collecting herbs. Sadie would be more or else killing O'Driscolls and getting in trouble with almost every other gang member. Lenny would be more about robbing places and coaches. Trelawny would be too busy conning people and stealing what he can when he gets the opportunity. Dutch would be too busy "planning" and staying in camp not doing much. Uncle would be too lazy to do anything and just sleep and drink. Kieran would be too busy tending to the horses or fishing. Susan would be too busy scolding other girls in the camp. Karen would be too busy drinking herself to death. Mary would be too busy writing or reading. Tilly would be too busy with cleaning and tending to the camp. Bill would be kind of fun since he does more things in general, like hunting, robbing, and sometimes possibly killing. Pearson would be cooking or crafting stuff. Sean would be somewhat the same as Lenny. Javier would be the same as Lenny and Sean simply robbing places and maybe getting into trouble here and there, but nothing too crazy. Strauss would be just going to places and offering loans. Jack would just fish or do nothing. Swanson would be a gambling or pickpocketing when he gets the chance. Abigail would be too busy doing nothing and scolding John when she gets the opportunity. Molly would be too busy reading or doing nothing at all. Hosea would be too busy hunting or conning people. Micah would be straight up war crime. The only three people that sound fun to play with would be Sadie, Bill, and Micah. The rest are okay in their own unique ways and preferences.

on my second (kinda. i had to restart when i got to ch. 4 and i only recently got back to where i was) playthrough, and as i was donating some food to pearson, i heard them getting freaky😭 i guess john's tent is cozy eh?

u/Ok_Ambition_3229 11d ago
There’s actually two different “scenarios”
theres one where Karen super unpleased and Sean does some painful maneuvers.
Then theres my favorite Where she cries and seans like “do you want me to stop”
“Dont stop 😩” “I just want someone to sEeEe mEeEeE 😩😫😫😩” “I see you karen”

None, the character switch mechanic in GTA V utterly destroyed any sense of immersion, cohesive story and character development that game might have had.

Sadie and Charles for high honor, Dutch and Micah for low honor. Arthur and John remain the same.
