    From its story to its side missions to its random encounters and beyond, Red Dead Redemption 2 truly has no shortage of interesting content-and, behind it all, some interesting historical references. And, as far as random encounters are concerned, we’re almost done-at least for now-with a few more locations to visit, and a few more characters left to meet.

    I just wish they had done more with New Austin in story mode. It feels so empty with absolutely nothing to do besides hunt, collect a handful of bounties, and get a couple of dinosaur bone fossils.

      I'm one of the few people that disagrees- Having somewhere where there's not a lot going on felt really relaxing, nothing but time. Compare that to the rest of NH where an event happens every few minutes, it's shocking.

      I agree. Ambarino was perhaps the most under-utilized state in Read Dead. With hardly anything interesting out there or things to do aside from hunt and enjoy the scenery.

      @@darnpotato I can see that, but at the same time, if Armadillo was a functioning town rather than a cholera stricken hellhole and there was more to do in Tumbleweed than see a couple Sheriff meltdowns, I would have spent more time there than any other part of RDR2

    That civil war soldier who still thinks the war is going on could be a reference to a Japanese soldier called hiroo onoda. He stayed in the Philippines jungle for 29 years snd he refused to believe that ww2 was over. He died in 1974 in tokyo

      There’s nothing to build upon. The place is in new Austin, the end of civilization and the home of lawlessness. Not to mention it’s been stricken by fever, famine, plague, and the lawman leaving. There’s no reason it would progress .

      New Austin is the classical western and has the traditional Southwestern-Texas setting.
      Nuevo Paraiso is the spaghetti western set in conflict-stricken Northern Mexico.

    About the “gay” frogs. It wasn’t that it was necessarily making them gay but rather just hyper sexual. An animals sexuality can not be changed and while there are most certainly gay frogs, it obviously isn’t a result of any sort of chemical.

    I've always found the state of New Austin to be an interesting location story-wise. The last outlaw country. The dying breath of the wild west.
    It's so wild that apparently, there's no state government of its own. New Austin is tied to the government from West Elizabeth.
