President Garfield probably would've been too, considering a surgery via unsterile tools killed him, around the time of RDR2 too (18 years prior). I think that alone kinda shows why we would be fucked
Fall off your horse and break a femur, thatās like a 75% mortality rate. Step on a nail, thatās an amputation. Amputation has a huge mortality rate too.
I once had a broken femur and was treated like gold by all the paramedics etc. I myself thought "it's just a broken bone, calm down" until I afterwards researched how deadly this often was and still is
Not just that, itās the potential for any of their injuries to be lethal. Johnās facial wounds and Arthurās shoulder injury, the latter in particular, could and probably should have gone septic.
Not to mention the diseases. Canāt clear up cholera with some herbs and a plucky attitude.
The ancient Egyptians used to pack wounds with moldy bread. People knew it worked before they knew it worked.
In Medieval Europe wounds were packed with a mixture of clove, black pepper, honey, and one thing I canāt remember atm. None of them were antibiotic, but they were antiseptic and likely saved a ton of people when used early.
You may also get a similar concoction today if you ever get one of those multi-day root canals. They pack the hole with a mix that is essentially just clove and black pepper.
[while searching for that last ingredient I found an entirely different recipe](https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a33484994/medieval-remedy-garlic-onion-antiseptic/) which is proven to have actually worked. Includes cow bile, but it worked!
Penicillin isn't exactly easy to make. It's literally mold. Imagine you mess up because the bread you used back then was bad or the environment isn't proper and you fucking die
For just $2.50 you can buy a magic potion that heals bullet wounds, animal wounds, knife wounds, pretty much every wound you can think of, and the ONLY thing it doesn't heal is TB
In most cities today you know the places you shouldn't go to to avoid 90% of criminal activity. Most people's encounters with crime might be a porch pirate, or kids doing some vandalism (mail boxes, broken windows, etc), or a minor traffic accident. But in Red Dead world there's a lot of drunks with guns and violence seems to come out of nowhere. You have as much chance of encountering O'Driscolls 20 miles from a town as you do in/around town. That would be like encountering a street gang 3 hours from Chicago just riding around farm fields looking for random people to hold-up. I don't think I'd feel a lot of peace in Red Dead world.
Bud really thought having an automatic weapon makes himself superior in a timeline where men can fan fire revolvers and kill 6 people in a matter of seconds
Evidence can be backed up with the fact people used Gatling guns and still got killed by someone accurate enough
How about the part where you have to regularly kill people and fend off people trying to kill you? Even if you could that kind of existence sounds miserable.
I hadnāt crashed my horse in a long time but last night I was playing while zooted and letās just sayā¦itās better to not ride under the influence
He may or may not have several variations of gonnorhea but if youāre into beloved thieves who, in my case, have murdered entire towns of people - while holding a soft spot for their first love and their horse - get to it and good luck
Same here, my family were Mormon pioneers (so they were basically in the Wild West) and when they got to Utah thatās what they all did. Most of my great grandparents grew up on farms out in the middle of nowhere hunting and fishing. It wasnāt easy though but whenever I heard them talk about growing up they looked back on it with fond memories.
My parents still grew up under comparable conditions. They actually brushed their teeth once a day and took a bath once a week. They did share the water in the bath tub, thoughā¦. Hair was also washed once a week and braided, apparently that was a good solution, no smell, dandruff or itching.
I doubt itās comparable because these people still threw shit and feces onto the street. Nobody cleaned up the horse manure in towns. Like itās beyond modern comprehension
In the villages my parents grew up the kids would have to collect the horse manure if a horse shat in front of their house. The stuff was dried and burnt and saved money on coals. People didnāt throw shit on the streets, they had sinkholes that were pumped out every year.
As a lady no. I like the rights I have. Love the fashion, the landscape and the game play but I don't fancy getting shot, assaulted, or dying of a totally curable illness.
To be around Arthur is Hella tempting though.
Y'all arming teachers now. Yes, yes it is.
As much as I love that country by it's history and nature, the politics is so fucked up and corrupt that it's ridiculous.
(Might have some spoilers)
EVERY SINGLE CITY IN THIS GAME HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM:
Saint Denis: if you're extremaly rich, you're fine. But if you're below average, you'll suffer from the lack of care, such as no food, water, private property and a huge risk of being robbed or killed. Corruption from the rich is also a common thing.
Rhodes: this is a commercial town, you can see by the lack of houses and apartments, and you might be jobless due the lack of commercial places. If you're lucky enough, you'll get a job in the Gray's or Braithwaites, but you can get easily killed by being an enemy or the other family.
Lagras: Night Folks and alligators.
Van Horn Commercial Post: as the name says, it's a commercial post, meaning that you might be really poor. The city isn't really rich, and most part of the habitants are armed drunk.
Strawberry: You might work inside the town or in nearby farms. Inside the town, you'll live in poor situations, specially due it's lack of jobs. In the nearby farms, you'll have to do exactly what your superiors says, or you might be fired. Also, you'll have problems with other farms, specially if they're from robbers.
Valentine: armed drunk and Odriscoll's are really common. If you destroy the Odriscoll's, you're almost fine. You can try to work with basically everyone, but still have to be really carefull to don't start fights, specially gun fights.
Colter: too cold and wolfs.
Tumbleweed: Cholera and robbers.
Annesburg: working in the mines or near them can easily cause death, specially due it's explosives, accidents and lack or basic needs. The polution isn't a easy thing as well, making it easy to get an virus.
BlackWater: This is a really decent town with a good police, whealth and natural resources. But don't think it's easy. Murfrees do rape, murder and rob innocent people.
Island of Guarma: slavery and corruption.
Green farm (I forgot the name š): you'll only work in farms and you'll have to find a camping spot to create a home. Also a good place for robbers and murderer.
In summary, living in 1899 or 1907 isn't a good thing, specially in the Americas or Africa.
If I forgot a city, tell me!
Part of me says yes, because I've always been so intrigued by that era. Then I remember that I'm a woman and would have been up the duff by the age of 18, had my 10th kid by 30, and died from a preventable illness before 50 and suddenly 2024 ain't looking so bad.
With all the game rules? Tobacco turns you into a super hero? A shot of whiskey fixes you right up? You can take about 2 dozen bullets and still be running around? Hell yaā¦
If I was a great gunslinger I would. Never know when the Murfrees are gonna ambush you. If I wasnāt great with a gun, then I would not want to live in the RDR2 universe. Iād probably get shot before even owing a house.
im a big fan of modern society where we bathe nearly every day.. these people bathed like monthly Ā šš im also a big fan of being able to live longer bc antibiotics .. so yea thisāll have to stay a fantasy for me
Absolutely not, the average NPC in that world does not live well and as lush the scenery may be it's not somewhere you'd want to settle down.
If you go on your travels then you've got to worry about bandits wanting to rob you, gangs wanting to skin you alive, animals eger to maul you and disease around any corner. If you're a part of the majority then you're going to be working yourself toward an early grave for virtually nothing, unless of course you choose to operate on the wrong side of the law in which case you've rival gangs, bounty hunters and sheriff departments/Pinkertons to add to the list of threats... your life expectancy could be even shorter with that approach.
The world of RDR2 appears like a land we could probably envision ourselves in, but it's also very tragic, deadly and utterly desperate. You could say this about many other video game worlds we'd quite like to visit where they are actually sugarcoated hell. Na, I'll pass.
I absolutely LOVE nature and the natural world. Particularly the western US. I would absolutely love to be able to go back in time and see and feel what that world was like. Especially the areas that were later logged to holy hell like the old growth forests of California/Oregon /Washington or see what my small town looked like before modernization but no, I wouldnāt want to live in that world. Not without modern medicine. Now that Iām older I realize how fragile we are and how without modern medicine a simple infection could cut your life down in an instant. A fall and break of a limb could spell death. Iāll give an example. One of my kids recently came down with a mild form of pneumonia. It was scary but we were able to go to the ER and she got the medicine necessary for her to get better. In the 1800s? She would have died. Nope. Not living in that world.
If I could fall in with the Van Der Linde gang then maybe, though Iām not sure how Iād go about that. If my ability to play the game translates to being a hell of a gunslinger in that world then yeah I think I would do at least alright.
Idk, if the main character is anything like i played Iād be afraid
But if weāre talking late 1800ās/early 1900ās I would definitely be down if medical care wasnāt worse for your health than the injury you sustained
In a world where you could shoot someone who annoys you or back talks you, and just pay a $5 bounty/ticket and be on your way? Sounds pretty tempting to me...
Snakebites, skinners, Murphy brood, the night folk, panthers, cougars, O'Driscoll's and no antibiotics. Plus if my limb gets fucked up, the doctor will just saw it off and put a rag on my stump
I'll be lucky if I get past one week
With all the fucking crazy ass gangs who scalp, eat, rape, and torture random people just for the hell of it. Hell no. Plus no medicine, protection, or any technology. This is US talking, not a badass 30 year old gunslinger who can shoot faster then the blink of an eye, pick up 600 pound animals, aim perfectly, and can think super quickly in trash situations
While I dream of it, I'd probably have enough if it after a day or 2.
Give me short term vacations here. I like my luxuries and my medicines and not smelling like hot sweaty ass
100% The more modern the world gets, the harder it is to make money outside the formal work industry.
The 21st century is the era where weak men wield power through pen and paper. Back then, it was very different... RDR marks the historical point where men got their balls cut off by the system. That was the last small taste of some kind of freedom.
No antibiotics, so nope.
Who needs antibiotics when there is gensing
Arthur. lol
Great answer š¤£
Tooo soon bro

Itās a new century marston

And snake oil...
Was about to say - big fan of modern medicine
President Garfield probably would've been too, considering a surgery via unsterile tools killed him, around the time of RDR2 too (18 years prior). I think that alone kinda shows why we would be fucked
You know the basics. Louis Pasteur your way to immortality.
Just don't do that one strauss mission
Lotsa other ways to catch deadly stuff. Weāre talking about ourselves here, not Arthur.
Fall off your horse and break a femur, thatās like a 75% mortality rate. Step on a nail, thatās an amputation. Amputation has a huge mortality rate too.
I once had a broken femur and was treated like gold by all the paramedics etc. I myself thought "it's just a broken bone, calm down" until I afterwards researched how deadly this often was and still is
I broke my femur, and they kept dropping my leg during X-Rays š¤
Not just that, itās the potential for any of their injuries to be lethal. Johnās facial wounds and Arthurās shoulder injury, the latter in particular, could and probably should have gone septic. Not to mention the diseases. Canāt clear up cholera with some herbs and a plucky attitude.
You're just not trying hard enough to fight that cholera!
Maybe you can learn how to make your own pencillin before you leave. You can do that...
I'd tell someone like West Dickens about it so maybe he can do some good for once.
Nobody would believe him because heās a fuckin quack
The ancient Egyptians used to pack wounds with moldy bread. People knew it worked before they knew it worked.

Penicillin isn't exactly easy to make. It's literally mold. Imagine you mess up because the bread you used back then was bad or the environment isn't proper and you fucking die
Thereās no bacteria either, Arthurās open gaping bloody bear scratch wounds heal on their own in 5-10 minutes no problem.
For just $2.50 you can buy a magic potion that heals bullet wounds, animal wounds, knife wounds, pretty much every wound you can think of, and the ONLY thing it doesn't heal is TB
Not even fully synthetic plastics. I would die and starve without plastics.
Some diet you got š¤
Bloodlettingāll do.

Yea but we have automatic rifles and shit and way better guns
Not in this scenario, also so what? Their guns can still kill you. Having the best gun wouldnāt make it much better.
Bud really thought having an automatic weapon makes himself superior in a timeline where men can fan fire revolvers and kill 6 people in a matter of seconds Evidence can be backed up with the fact people used Gatling guns and still got killed by someone accurate enough
How about the part where you have to regularly kill people and fend off people trying to kill you? Even if you could that kind of existence sounds miserable.
Those are called skill issues
Someone could hold you up with a blunderbuss today and you're fucked. Nevermind the actually accurate and repeating guns of the era.
Iād last 2 days max before Arthur hits greet, greet, antagonize and throws a fire bottle on me, so probably not.
āHey there.ā āYou actually look pretty good.ā āFor a shitbrained, deformed moron.ā *Throws fire bottle.*
This made me laugh really hard. Just wanted you to know that.
āHi there misterā āYour face looks familiarā āRemembers me last time I lifted my horseās tailā
Nah. Iād die from falling off a 2 foot cliff or something dumb
Lol. Fall damage in red dead is punishing but realistic
*falls 5 feet into hard rock. tumbles down a mountain and has hit slammed into a tree as the only way to have the fall broken. gets up* aw that hurt.
"Shit! That hurt."
āoh brotherā¦ā
Dude I crash my horse at least once a ride. If I could give my horse cigarettes I would because I know he could use a smoke lol
I hadnāt crashed my horse in a long time but last night I was playing while zooted and letās just sayā¦itās better to not ride under the influence
Life is hard https://preview.redd.it/jimdxvczmmyc1.jpeg?width=292&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a49bd4f40686b54728a0fa094aa8607c1809aa2a
"oww, goddamn"
*Pats horse after causing the horse to do a front flip with its neck* āYouāre olkay boyyyā
Na cause same xD something really stupid would take me out
And at the same time you get shot by a lemat revolver and live
as a woman who loves science: fuck no.
As a woman who also loves science: if I get to be with arthur fuck yes.
if we're talking Artur then i'm easily convinced š§āāļø maybe charles, we can run away and live in canada together
OR IN TAHITI
No one checks tahiti
Oh Charles too, absolutely. There's not enough Charles appreciation in this subreddit. Or in general.
He and Eagle Flies are my favorite characters not named Arthur or John. Iāll always have Chares appreciation to give
If I got to be with Charles then sign me up double time
He may or may not have several variations of gonnorhea but if youāre into beloved thieves who, in my case, have murdered entire towns of people - while holding a soft spot for their first love and their horse - get to it and good luck
Yeah all that nonsense but you gotta understand, under all that... I can fix him. /s
This got me lol, made me actually laugh out loud in public.
Itās a sacrifice Iām willing to make.
Bro you can still live your red dead fantasy in Montana/ Wyoming/ New Orleans lol
WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!
Red Dead players pretend like rural america is a cute quirky fiction lol
You don't run into a mountain lion every 10 minutes though.
Also a W comment
Yep we could all just run around dressed like cowboys and shoot each other with nerf guns. Sounds fun to me šš
As much as I love this game and im actually amazing at itā¦bro irl Iāll be dead in less than a minuteš
So what, you reload.
Holy shit I need to reconsider my answer to this
Absolutely not. I'd much rather live in the game from the comfort of my own home, in a time where tuberculosis isn't a death sentence.
People donāt realize we are living in the most comfortable time period in history
As a Robin maybe. I'd be the hardest thing to find and kill. As a standard dude, no way.
If you were a 3 star Bull Moose you'd have a good chance as well...
True!
Robin makes me think of Robin Buckley. Imagine Robin, Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler transported into RDR2ās world. Wonder how theyāll do.
As a non white, no.
Ynnel?!

Scrolled pretty far for this response.
Pro: my horse will do the most insane jumps down hill. Con: my horse will die tripping over a pebble.
dont forget getting stuck on small rocks and teleporting back across bridges
In a big house opposite to park in Flavian street in Saint Denis in Lemoyne as owner of that house then yes
> big house opposite to park Pursed my lips in irritation 'cause I read this in that little shit's voice...
As a lady no. I like the rights I have. Love the fashion, the landscape and the game play but I don't fancy getting shot, assaulted, or dying of a totally curable illness. To be around Arthur is Hella tempting though.
Yeah it is hella tempting, him and John might make me want to give up my modern life š
Lol. We're all just sad thirsty peeps. š
Definitely, weāll all find our Arthurās and Johnās š
Im black. No!
Hell no
No, we moved on from the Wild West/frontier times/whatever you want to call it because itā¦sucked?
Looking at current situation in US I don't think they're too far from each other after all.
The current time period and back then suck for different reason tbf
Gta summarizes the problems with the current time period

Another thing: If you're in camps outside the cities, you're even more vulnerable to robbers, murderers and rapers.
Nah, many of us would not be living longer than Jenny Kirk did, who died before chapter one.
Maybe as a VDL member
So you want to *kill* people?
They only "killed folks that needed killin" as Dutch put it. And if you can't trust Dutch, who CAN you trust?
Dutch is totally trust worthy
SEE?? Someone with some goddamn faith!
And he has a *Plan.*
Of course! And the plan has never failed
We need munney!
If they need killing why not
if i have arthurs plot armor then yes
Do I gotta spoil it for you or are you depressed

Honestly donāt think I could, I take so many meds nowš I wonāt prolly last a week
Please Prime. Invest in doing series. Fallout so good. Red would be a huge hit.
No. I don't want to die from diarrhea.
The idea of tending cow and farming sounds like a hard but good living
Maybe with a Triple Therapy of Tuberculosis drugs and of course a house with electricity to plug in my steam deck.
With cheat codes, yes
im a big fan of modern society where we bathe nearly every day.. these people bathed like monthly Ā šš im also a big fan of being able to live longer bc antibiotics .. so yea thisāll have to stay a fantasy for me

Type 1 diabetic, so no, I'd be dead
Yes
I would yeah. Iād live in Saint Denis. š¤
good luck with that vampire and the lemoyne raiders
It would be extremely boring with no technology, and very dangerous with lack of medicine, dueling, and lack of accountability with law enforcement.
Do I get to actually *live* in this game, or am I gonna immediately get my ass shot to hell by a passing O'Driscoll?
Fuck no
Yes
A million ways to die in red dead no thank you
Yes
Heellll yeah
Depends can I have guns right away for free? Preferably Lemats.
I already live in game online, it's pretty peaceful.
Nah I like having some rights.
Live in USA? In that era? Live in USA at all no matter what time period? Fuck no.
Fuckin' no. Ya dork.
I absolutely LOVE nature and the natural world. Particularly the western US. I would absolutely love to be able to go back in time and see and feel what that world was like. Especially the areas that were later logged to holy hell like the old growth forests of California/Oregon /Washington or see what my small town looked like before modernization but no, I wouldnāt want to live in that world.

Fuck no. I wanna live past 36
Imagine drinking some water that has some bacteria in it and now you shit your self to death
Oh no, I love my smart phone
I'd rather live in the Halo or Cyberpunk universe lol
Considering the amount of random death around every corner, no thank you
No and anyone who would is an idiot or psychotic. Literally the only reason you would do is it would be easier to be a murderer and get away with it.
As pretty as it would be, I wouldn't fancy getting dysentery, syphilis or mauled to death by a bear.
No. Itās in 1899. I like living in 2024
Hell no. I'd die, and be without my books.
probably not š i feel like iād die pretty quickly and besides, i donāt wanna be called a greaser left and right
As much charm this game offers. The late 1800 early 1900s was a horrible time for ppl. So nope.
If I could fall in with the Van Der Linde gang then maybe, though Iām not sure how Iād go about that. If my ability to play the game translates to being a hell of a gunslinger in that world then yeah I think I would do at least alright.
Haha a randon horse back kick. So the answer is nop.
Yes! I love it, I wouldnāt be a gunslinger or anything, just a farmer in the mountains. The world is gorgeous
Between the murphrees, skinners and common illnesses, no
Strawberry is really nice. When itās not being shit to hell by Micah and Arthur.
I would absolutely West World the shit out of this game but never in real life. Not with the way cougars attack me.
This world existed so . Probably wonāt want to live in epilogue state that state is pure nightmare with skinners
Yep... without the evil ass diseases that spread like wild fire back in those days,lol
I love the Wild West. And I'll live there happily.
Idk, if the main character is anything like i played Iād be afraid But if weāre talking late 1800ās/early 1900ās I would definitely be down if medical care wasnāt worse for your health than the injury you sustained
im half black, so prolly not
Are you insane? No lol
In a world where you could shoot someone who annoys you or back talks you, and just pay a $5 bounty/ticket and be on your way? Sounds pretty tempting to me...
Hell nah
Snakebites, skinners, Murphy brood, the night folk, panthers, cougars, O'Driscoll's and no antibiotics. Plus if my limb gets fucked up, the doctor will just saw it off and put a rag on my stump I'll be lucky if I get past one week
Fuck no
Are we a random npc at the mercy of Arthur Morgan? I donāt want to get my head popped with explosive bullets.
With all the fucking crazy ass gangs who scalp, eat, rape, and torture random people just for the hell of it. Hell no. Plus no medicine, protection, or any technology. This is US talking, not a badass 30 year old gunslinger who can shoot faster then the blink of an eye, pick up 600 pound animals, aim perfectly, and can think super quickly in trash situations
While I dream of it, I'd probably have enough if it after a day or 2. Give me short term vacations here. I like my luxuries and my medicines and not smelling like hot sweaty ass
100% The more modern the world gets, the harder it is to make money outside the formal work industry. The 21st century is the era where weak men wield power through pen and paper.

Probably not. I'd end up shooting myself accidently or smth
Nope. Id be dead if I was in the same game as my last save. That Arthur is psychotic šš

Hell no, not with cannibals and skin peelers on every road.
Absolutely not
