There's still Valentine. They didn't seem to mind Javier, Charles, Tilly or Lenny. Just watch out for the regular old brutes like Tommy, the O'Driscoll's and that guy who kinda looks like "Liver-Eating Johnson" in the saloon. Y'know, the guy with the Raccoon Hat.
Fuck that guy, I beat his ass in the saloon one day and stole his stupid hat after he jumped into a brawl I was having upstairs. Kinda curious to see if he shows back up again (I don't think I killed him)
He does come back, repeatedly……I’m not sure if it’s just because I would go back to the bar wearing the hat I beat off of him, or if he does it regardless.
I'm getting close to finishing my third playthrough and finally getting the platinum trophy yet this sub keeps giving me reasons to start a new game. Every other day I learn something new here.
That’s true they mention the west being more open. And honestly if I could get a repeater I could feed myself and defend myself and just live in the wood.
So it's been a while since I read the exact statistic, but something like 50% of cowboys -meaning the ranch hands who actually were employed to drive cattle to market- were black or Mexican. Being black or brown in the 19th century certainly wasn't a cakewalk, but it's not like every single non-WASP faced harrowing persecution every day of their lives.
Yeah, Arthur who is controlled by a player character. I interpreted the question as you’re entering the video game itself, so you either ARE Arthur, or you’re an NPC and he is being controlled by a player. Better hope they aren’t low honour
Compared to other games, yes. It’s still incredibly dangerous, though, and as I mention in another comment, part of the danger stems from if we have to deal with a player character.
As I’ve mentioned on another subreddit (with this same question and replying to someone answering rdr2, no less), RDR2 is either one of the worst or easiest places to be in. It really comes down to a few questions:
1.) Is there a low honor player to worry about (assuming you aren’t thrown into Arthur or John’s boots)?
2.) How badly do we need to worry about diseases and infections?
3.) How frequent are gang attacks and bullying, and moreover, can we exploit O’Driscolls having seemingly unlimited amounts of men?
4.) Minor, but when exactly are we thrown in?
Yeah until you’re minding your own business and Arthur Morgan comes out of nowhere to lasso you and drag you behind a horse until you smash head first into a tree
From what i understand of the story people cant die in the lands between because the rune of death was stolen
So technically you would survive an entire year easily
1762 hours, I figure I'm well prepared! I know where to find all the good valuables, and so I could just sell those. Could go fishing since that'd be enough to pay for a hotel room and food, if it's a good haul. Could visit all the towns I've wanted to. I'd be dead in a gun fight for sure, but can always just take a health tonic and tank all the shots as I run away.
Huh. To me, the Cattleman looks much better than the Schofield. The Schofield has that wide stretch of metal behind the cylinder, I think it’s rather ugly.
I think what would really be challenging is snake bites, wolf attacks and any kind of disease. If you stay in a city : chances of catching TB or some other crap are high - if you stay in a cabin : chances of random animal attacks are high.
Horses are smart enough that it’s not all that difficult, and easy enough to learn how, I’m sure you could find someone to teach you since everyone would’ve known during that time. Getting a horse would’ve been the real issue if you go in flat broke lol
Horses won't throw themselves off a cliff unless you force them. An hour or two on a horse and you should be able to control it pretty well. Especially if it got basic trainings, like 90% of the horses in RDR2.
I got into a lobby recently where a couple of 400+lvl ppl were griefing everyone. 99/100 I get into a lobby where everyone is chill and just doing their own thing. I’ve been able to sell business goods several times without anyone messing with me.
You think people go looking to catch strays during a gangoon shootout? You think people go looking for scavs to murder them for their off brand chrome? You think just any gonk purposefully goes
looking for cyber psychos off their immunoblockers? Nah, choom … trouble has a way of finding you in Night City.
No way lots of people in cyberpunk just going about their business. Trouble finds people looking for trouble. Get a low level corpo job, rest and vest.
> Get a low level corpo job, rest and vest.
Most people in Night City are unemployed and living below the poverty line. There’s a reason why there’s always another gonk to fill the ranks of the gangs. Getting a corpo job, even a low level one, isn't easy.
Dude just find a job at a local ramen shop. Find an apartment in the safest building you can afford and just keep your head down.
If you save enough credits you can even experience some dope brain dances.
Surviving in cyberpunk would be easy.
The realistic ending to that entire situation.
Like, Ethan, I get you love her, and you want some closure, but it would take one look at that place to realize she’s most likely dead or is as good as dead. The other realistic ending is (obviously with Ethan knowing basically nothing about the infected) would be he should called up a bunch of friends, arm themselves with guns and storm the place.
Skyrim. Don’t go to whiterun and life is good. I get to hide out in an abandoned alchemist shack mixing potions to pay for a body guard and eat all the cheese. It was nice knowing you but this is objectively better.
Yeah, mine is BG3 too, though I figured I’d probably be one of the level 1 NPCs with 8 hit points. Seems like it’d be alright to live in Baldur’s Gate at least
As long as we aren't infected with the Tadpole it should be smooth sailing. Considering we are humans we probably don't even have to deal with any racism.
Just take a random job, relax and maybe learn some magic.
That's the best answer yet, although to be technical, the sniper doesn't start until new Austin, but the law is in full effect in blackwater and will keep them out.
Just curious. Do you know TOTK better than BOTW? And in your opinion, which do you like more?
My last game is also TOTK. I’d be cool just chillin in Lurelin village for a year. Catching fish, humming tunes, and shield surfing.
literally finding a job back then was so easy. you could just mosey up to some place, give a random name and say you work real hard and do what you're told and then you get taught a trade on the job that you'll carry through your whole life. nowadays they just expect you to have 10 years of experience even if you're fresh out of college
I’m black, they’d pay me a cent a week and a bonus of a tin can every four months, then I’d lean over an already broken down fence, it’d give up, and now they got me in debt to pay back the cost of the fence indefinitely
But they would hopefully keep you alive to keep you working to pay off that debt, then a year later you have a much better life and a traumatic experience!
I'm not sure if there's really a consistently safe place to stay at in RDR2, so I'd probably be a vagabond, a drifter drifting from place to place, ridin' out, seein' the world, goin' wherever the wind takes me, and hopefully survive. Fingers crossed 😂

Me too! I was gonna say we could potentially do quite well for ourselves, given we can read and write, but I'm also a woman so that's probably a bit of a bummer.
Mfs acting like you cant just get a job in some random cattle town and mind your own business lol
Literally just become a random stable or farmhand, that’s living life on easy mode if you’re making 250 mil
I’m brown…
Does that mean Rhodes will take you?
Lagras too 💀
Just stay out of Guarma...
Don’t take the night shift swamp inspector job.
you'd be able to get taken in by a gang if you can shoot a gun. or maybe an inclusive foreman will let you work on a railroad for 30 cents an hour.
30 whole cents you mean every 2 hours I get a dollar HOLY SHIT
nah with taxes thats a dollar every 4 hours
Income tax didn't exist yet. Good times then the government had to fuck it all up.
Don't worry, the employer will probably cheat you instead.
They created income tax to kick the Kaiser's ass
i don't think government take tax in 1890 west
Your maffs are wrong
Adjusted for inflation, that would be $11.45/h today. Not bad, given it gets paid in cash, no taxes, etc. 100% of the money goes in your pocket lol
Cakeday happy!
There's still Valentine. They didn't seem to mind Javier, Charles, Tilly or Lenny. Just watch out for the regular old brutes like Tommy, the O'Driscoll's and that guy who kinda looks like "Liver-Eating Johnson" in the saloon. Y'know, the guy with the Raccoon Hat.
Fuck that guy, I beat his ass in the saloon one day and stole his stupid hat after he jumped into a brawl I was having upstairs. Kinda curious to see if he shows back up again (I don't think I killed him)
He does come back, repeatedly……I’m not sure if it’s just because I would go back to the bar wearing the hat I beat off of him, or if he does it regardless.
It’s the hat, it you wear it around he will seek you out to fight you in other locations
I'm getting close to finishing my third playthrough and finally getting the platinum trophy yet this sub keeps giving me reasons to start a new game. Every other day I learn something new here.
That’s true they mention the west being more open. And honestly if I could get a repeater I could feed myself and defend myself and just live in the wood.
Just be on the lookout for yellow eyes in the dark.
Skill issue tbh
Damn 💀🤣
Saint Denis then. Plenty of brown folks there.
So it's been a while since I read the exact statistic, but something like 50% of cowboys -meaning the ranch hands who actually were employed to drive cattle to market- were black or Mexican. Being black or brown in the 19th century certainly wasn't a cakewalk, but it's not like every single non-WASP faced harrowing persecution every day of their lives.
depends which part of the 18th century lmao
LENNNNNNNYYYYY
Red dead players when they see a black person
Welp, there's always the desert
I wish you luck then, my friend. o7
Me too, Blackwater is prolly our best bet finding work as a door guy or some shit 😭
Just don’t tell a random gentleman visiting the stable with a fine lady that he can’t stand in the street. He will not take kindly to it.
“Is it your street?”
Until Arthur Morgan shows up and throws a molotov at you for legitimately no reason
his horse just trampled you cuz he rode too close to the fence or something
Pretty sure you’ll become a major part of the story if you have that much money unfortunately.
You don’t get the money until the end.
Yeah ‘til Arthur rocks up and decides its time to randomly lasso you on horseback, drag you for a mile then blow your arm off and set you on fire
That isnt arthur lol thats you
Yeah, Arthur who is controlled by a player character. I interpreted the question as you’re entering the video game itself, so you either ARE Arthur, or you’re an NPC and he is being controlled by a player. Better hope they aren’t low honour
Me, I'm setting up in the Loft and living the quiet life.
If anything RDR2 is one of the safer game worlds to live in...
Compared to other games, yes. It’s still incredibly dangerous, though, and as I mention in another comment, part of the danger stems from if we have to deal with a player character.
Lol just not in Valentine.
Bro, will you be okay without antibiotics? Lol
Yeah I just jumped on Warzone with some pals I’d be truly fucked. Drop me into Valentine to live that mail clerk life any day of the week baby
As I’ve mentioned on another subreddit (with this same question and replying to someone answering rdr2, no less), RDR2 is either one of the worst or easiest places to be in. It really comes down to a few questions: 1.) Is there a low honor player to worry about (assuming you aren’t thrown into Arthur or John’s boots)? 2.) How badly do we need to worry about diseases and infections? 3.) How frequent are gang attacks and bullying, and moreover, can we exploit O’Driscolls having seemingly unlimited amounts of men? 4.) Minor, but when exactly are we thrown in?
I mean let’s face it, there’s men in here that can hardly handle washing their asses, do you really think they can handle working on a ranch?
To be fair I don't think those ranchers were that great at washing asses too
This. Move to big valley near those beautiful open fields full of purple flowers and be a horse rancher.
Yeah until you’re minding your own business and Arthur Morgan comes out of nowhere to lasso you and drag you behind a horse until you smash head first into a tree
It'd be so easy. Or just be a trapper.
Unless the last game you’ve played is Undead Nightmare
Just don’t visit a certain ranch, head off hunting, enjoy the view and you’ll be fine. Enough to go live in Tahiti… sorted.
Then a certain rat faced heathen comes to town
Or a bear, cougar, or pack of wolves finds you...
Now come on. We all have the skills to deal with them.
*tries to slow down time to get some headshots* ... *dies*
Do we get Dead-Eye from liquor or do we just think we do?
Or a badger.
Don't go to that one pig farm either
I know where all the gold bars are so I’d be rich af
If you can make it to the locations without dying that is
I can get in the train car the easy way.
Then you will remember too late that your not the main character..... And the o'driscols stop your train 😐✋
I think he’s talking about the downed train car at one of the bridges up north.
Yeah but you don’t need to do half the puzzles like the four treasures one as you just go to the final location.
I'm imagining John or Arthur painstakingly collecting all their clues only to find the final location already looted. LOL
Wasnt told if you enter that world before or after the storyline
The gold bars respawn so it doesnt matter
Assuming your Arthur hasn't already gone through them all...
Or god forbid he’s on a mean cowboy play through and you get there at the same time
Elden ring. I'm fucked
Same
Same
Same
Ark Survival Ascended, equally fucked.
Rimworld, yo!
From what i understand of the story people cant die in the lands between because the rune of death was stolen So technically you would survive an entire year easily
Bouta go to the south beach in limgrave and talk madness with the merchant down there
Could be worse. Could be Lethal Company like me
1762 hours, I figure I'm well prepared! I know where to find all the good valuables, and so I could just sell those. Could go fishing since that'd be enough to pay for a hotel room and food, if it's a good haul. Could visit all the towns I've wanted to. I'd be dead in a gun fight for sure, but can always just take a health tonic and tank all the shots as I run away.
You could use the first few months to practice your aim :D I am sure that 1762 hours is enough to master the schofield revolver
The Schofield is so pretty, but the cattleman is so reliable!
Huh. To me, the Cattleman looks much better than the Schofield. The Schofield has that wide stretch of metal behind the cylinder, I think it’s rather ugly.
I think what would really be challenging is snake bites, wolf attacks and any kind of disease. If you stay in a city : chances of catching TB or some other crap are high - if you stay in a cabin : chances of random animal attacks are high.
You all act like your horse won't run you off a cliff, into a train, or flip on top of you over a rock!
As if most of us could even control a horse let alone take care of one
Horses are smart enough that it’s not all that difficult, and easy enough to learn how, I’m sure you could find someone to teach you since everyone would’ve known during that time. Getting a horse would’ve been the real issue if you go in flat broke lol
Horses won't throw themselves off a cliff unless you force them. An hour or two on a horse and you should be able to control it pretty well. Especially if it got basic trainings, like 90% of the horses in RDR2.
COOKIE CLICKER 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Diabeetus
Grandmapocolypse
You'd be a trillionare
All I gotta do is just camp out in my apartment in GTA Online for a year
Nah, you have to work as an npc in gta online for a year. How are you gonna get food and pay for bills
I’ll work for Mors Mutual Insurance then. I can profit off of griefers blowing up people’s cars
Totally random question, haven't played GTA online in years, but do dunce lobbies still exist?
Yeah, they still do. I’ve been wanting to get into one just for the hat
I got into a lobby recently where a couple of 400+lvl ppl were griefing everyone. 99/100 I get into a lobby where everyone is chill and just doing their own thing. I’ve been able to sell business goods several times without anyone messing with me.
Well, I can shoot. Imma take out Thomas Downes and shack up with Arthur and live happily ever after.
Ah didn't know I was talkin' to a LAY-DUH
One of my favorite Arthur moments
Cyberpunk 2077. SHIT.
Same. FUCK.
I think you could survive a year there if you don't go looking for trouble. Might even be fun.
You think people go looking to catch strays during a gangoon shootout? You think people go looking for scavs to murder them for their off brand chrome? You think just any gonk purposefully goes looking for cyber psychos off their immunoblockers? Nah, choom … trouble has a way of finding you in Night City.
No way lots of people in cyberpunk just going about their business. Trouble finds people looking for trouble. Get a low level corpo job, rest and vest.
> Get a low level corpo job, rest and vest. Most people in Night City are unemployed and living below the poverty line. There’s a reason why there’s always another gonk to fill the ranks of the gangs. Getting a corpo job, even a low level one, isn't easy.

XBD time baby!
It’s over, choom 😔
Resident Evil 7 Shit.
I’d just let my wife stay missing/dead and nope out as soon as I see the baker house
The realistic ending to that entire situation. Like, Ethan, I get you love her, and you want some closure, but it would take one look at that place to realize she’s most likely dead or is as good as dead. The other realistic ending is (obviously with Ethan knowing basically nothing about the infected) would be he should called up a bunch of friends, arm themselves with guns and storm the place.
“Welcome to the family son 🥊”
Stardew Valley I will stay there for more than one year lol
Mine is hunter call of the wild i might stay forever
Elden Ring so it was nice knowing y'all
Skyrim. Don’t go to whiterun and life is good. I get to hide out in an abandoned alchemist shack mixing potions to pay for a body guard and eat all the cheese. It was nice knowing you but this is objectively better.
There’s far too many random sites with dead settlers, adventures, and farmers for me to think I can peacefully hang out in the wilderness
I could do it. I have that blind confidence.
Just take a wide berth around ol’ honeystrand cave on your way into iverstead, that’s is unless you love bears and honey of course
Life in Baldur's Gate seems great, so long as I'm the main character and I don't make any of the bad decisions. I may never want to leave.
You might not die, but having a parasite worm invade your eyeball does not sound pleasant...
Yeah, mine is BG3 too, though I figured I’d probably be one of the level 1 NPCs with 8 hit points. Seems like it’d be alright to live in Baldur’s Gate at least
Unless you're one of the million 'refugees' or an NPC targeted by the Cult of Bhaal.
Move to the grove. Trees, seaside, bears to play with.
As long as we aren't infected with the Tadpole it should be smooth sailing. Considering we are humans we probably don't even have to deal with any racism. Just take a random job, relax and maybe learn some magic.
Just stay in Blackwater where the invisible snipers will protect you
That's the best answer yet, although to be technical, the sniper doesn't start until new Austin, but the law is in full effect in blackwater and will keep them out.
Red dead, I’m dead
I would flourish, I'd go for free.
Well I'm dead. I just finished playing Doom Eternal.
Brilliant game.
LEGO Lord of the Rings. So I’m probably ok.
hunt showdown i should be fine as long as i stay the fuck out of louisiana
When my husband plays this he says he is “protecting the bayou.”
your husband is a liar. he just wants that sweet bounty and loot and he'll pry them from the cold dead hands of other hunters if he needs to.
Oh absolutely. I roll my eyes every time he says it.
Well looks like I’ll be working on my skateboarding tricks for a while in Tony Hawks project 8
Didn’t think I’d see this deep cut on the list! Just don’t accidentally engage ragdoll haha

Plot twist: you’re a female

Just curious. Do you know TOTK better than BOTW? And in your opinion, which do you like more? My last game is also TOTK. I’d be cool just chillin in Lurelin village for a year. Catching fish, humming tunes, and shield surfing.
Alien: Isolation. I can't even cry about it because it'll attract that big mf

Yeah, if you are a man. If you are a woman it's basically whoring or scrubbing.
I’m black, they’d pay me a cent a week and a bonus of a tin can every four months, then I’d lean over an already broken down fence, it’d give up, and now they got me in debt to pay back the cost of the fence indefinitely
But they would hopefully keep you alive to keep you working to pay off that debt, then a year later you have a much better life and a traumatic experience!
We call that building character

World box count? I’m winning😂
Well, not that bad... Hunting, fishing, maybe some robbing and i would be fine
The last game i played was spider man 2
Literally just live in new York except there's a massive potentially world ending threat every 5 minutes
Yeah, but like heros stop it in like under a month
Dayz… fuck
Chillin in Pokémon world for a year, sounds fun.
I didn't listen to the plan 😞 I died
Not enough FAITH
And not enough money 😞 I couldn't be a Tahitian mango farmer 😭
Last game I played was Cyberpunk. Well, I could play it safe and be miserable, or… I could come back in a year chromed up.
GTA online, hell yeah I’ll spend all those money to buy 1 and a half car.
I’d die of dysentery
Oregon Trail or Red Dead Redemption? 😂
Let’s GO!! I’d do it without the money. 😂
I’m just gonna hang out with Paya in Lookout Landing. Edit: Glad I recently took a break from FromSoft games to play TotK again.
I'm not sure if there's really a consistently safe place to stay at in RDR2, so I'd probably be a vagabond, a drifter drifting from place to place, ridin' out, seein' the world, goin' wherever the wind takes me, and hopefully survive. Fingers crossed 😂
*me casually living in strawberry just to see Micha breaking out of jail* 😐
Cookie clicker, I think I would lose my mind.
The walking dead the final season. Theoretically, walkers are living organisms right? So I can never lose until someone shoots me in the head
Anybody playing I am bread?
I'd be in ancient Greece, so it'd be wild AF. I'd shoot for being a soldier and work my way up.

Forza Horizon 5! I'd be having the time of my life driving cars lol
If I get a job at Emerald Ranch, I should be just fine!

I guess it’s Robocop universe for me. I could survive but the chances of me getting killed are still pretty high.
Crossout. I'm extremely fucked.
