    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and beyond, Red Dead Redemption 2 truly has no shortage of interesting content-and, behind it all, some interesting historical references.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

    I am a history nerd and this is one of the most unique ways to learn about history and the origin of phrases, food, items and so much more
    Please never stop, I don’t care which game and honestly it doesn’t even have to be a game but keep doing this. It’s a perfect treat for history lovers like me and I have learned a bunch of things in here that I wouldn’t have otherwise

    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.

    It's so wild that apparently, there's no state government of its own. New Austin is tied to the government from West Elizabeth.
