Players can go around hunting, solve mysteries of a locality, and much more. Other than the massive campaign of the game, RDR2 has a gigantic open world, with activities for days. RDR2 is such a vast, rich, and diverse game that players are known to lose track of time while playing the game. I also wrote The Earthborn Trilogy.Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the ambitious projects by Rockstar and they have delivered one of the best games out there today. Go exploring there for yourself if you want to see how weird it is right now, but who knows what’s to come.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Read my new sci-fi thriller novel Herokiller, available now in print and online. But for now it’s a very, very strange appendage to the richly detailed and populated rest of the map. Maybe fixing up Armadillo by purchasing businesses there is part of it, or something. I have to assume that once RDR2 Online launches that this area will start to become more populated. Though I guess it worked well enough for RDR1’s online component. A battle royale taking place here, for instance, would mostly be people sniping at each other from a mile away across a totally flat desert. There are tiny, tiny buildings and settlements, but it would feel like an odd place for substantive content in its current form. But this RDR1 section of the map is almost nothing but rolling plans or expansive deserts. This new game has brought us snowy mountains, murky swamps and expansive forests. The difference between New Austin and the rest of the map is stark. If this was another game, I’d say that perhaps this empty zone could be used for future story DLC, but given that RDR2 is a prequel that is meant to bump up into RDR1 by the time it ends, I’m not so sure such DLC would even be possible.īut even using this zone as part of RDR2 online feels a bit weird. There are also rumors of a battle royale mode in Red Dead to come later as part of online, and perhaps this lifeless version of New Austin will be part of that. While the “used” map of RDR2 is big, perhaps Rockstar wanted it to be even bigger, which is why they added the sprawling section of New Austin. Well, the most obvious answer is that this is probably in place for the launch of Red Dead Online. So…what the hell? Why does this part of the map exist when even in 70-80 hours of Red Dead 2’s core story and epilogue, almost nothing at all takes place there? The entire town had a carriage, a post office and a saloon, that was it. I spoke to a man shouting down the street who said that Armadillo was ravaged by a variety of plagues, most recently cholera. He thanked me, but then promptly said he was retiring and leaving, as the town was curse/dead. The only real “event” in this entire zone I encountered was in the town of Armadillo, where I watched a sheriff hand over a Del Lobo gang member to a posse, but I intervened to shoot them all. I did not try to murder them all, but I suppose it’s possible Thieves Landing and Fort Mercer were filled with hostiles that reprimanded me if I came near them. I still have no idea how or why this happened
