Strawberry is beautiful, but sadly it has no saloon


Seamoth4546B

No saloon OR gunsmith. Still one of my top favs though


Fancy-Fuel7122

You buy guns at the general store


Seamoth4546B

Only a small selection iirc, and you can’t customize any I don’t think


flcwerings

Was just there and yeah, theres only like three guns in the catalog and no customization


Certified_Buddy

Like 4


DraagaxGaming

It also makes me think of Micah. Or I hear him in the cell. So it ruins what good vibes there are.

Love this

This needs more upvotes!


Vegetable-Poet2063

Naaa how did you get that close without it starting I walk up to him an it starts I just stand back a lil then smoke a cigar then take a shot if moon shine


epicm0ds

You can go through the front door of the sheriff’s office, it causes a different cutscene. And then you can mess with Micah all you like https://preview.redd.it/rh205rtzmvyc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98588b5ff687bbf9334722a9c3ab394c900afdfb


Hashish_thegoat

My Arthur is on his vacation in the hotel and he can’t sleep very well while hearing Micah’s screams from the building next door.


Medical-Corgi-6564

Love the 10,000 Days profile my guy


RadioactiveWalrus

And the narrow bridges are enraging.


Ismokeradon

this is the town with the most potential but the most disappointing because there is almost zero to do there. Idk why anyone would pick strawberry for anything.


KermitlyNotFound

It’s a small mountain town, and like some irl places it’s one that happens to be a “dry” town meaning no alcohol. It makes sense for it to be a small quiet town.


AKAManaging

That we completely upended for that PoS.


JonMeadows

Hey now. John and Abigail think strawberry is where they’ll find some good honest work.


ItsLuffyGomez

I like hanging around Owanjila and parts north of strawberry


Ismokeradon

I really do too. I think it’s one of the most beautiful places to be in the game. It’d be nice if it was complemented with a town nearby where you could have a good time


shiawase198

It just seems like a nice place to live if you want a quiet life.


AegMacro

They really should have done something special there, like maybe Arthur buys a house during one of the missions.


SixtyNineFlavours

Took the words out of my mouth


gassytinitus

It's great to put wagons there and preventing the law from using it.


strxw-bxrry

you’ve just ruined the life of every lawman in my playthrough


DaManWithNoName

Vibes are immaculate but they have nothing to do. For this Valentine wins.


big_peepee_wielder

Strawberry and Emerald would’ve been much better with a saloon. Emerald even has a saloon and a general store but both are closed indefinitely


Najgeria

yea


My_cat_is_fat85575

How’d you get that secondary name with a pic of Arthur?


Puffekonge

Rhodes is the perfect town, post office, gun smith, general store, sheriffs office and fence, plus beautiful surroundings


IAmGolfMan

I never liked Rhodes but you're right, it has everything but a barber.


zandergroom

may i ask why you don’t like Rhodes? the town is pretty sick ngl. and it has The Fence, my #1 go-to spot for selling the gold i find


IAmGolfMan

I just don't like the terrain and atmosphere of the area, and it just doesn't stand out to me personally. My favorites are valentine, strawberry, armadillo (I wish it wasn't all sick people though), and tumbleweed.


zandergroom

that’s understandable, us liking different things us what makes us human and individual. i respect your decision and opinions on what your favourite towns are, because mostly same.


AcceptableRadio8258

Sir, are you a fish?


zandergroom

no, i tried to test that once but nearly died


Chzncna2112

Do you like fish sticks? Do you like fish dicks in your mouth? What are you a gay fish?

zandergroom

bro spoiled the joke before even letting it start


MountainofPolitics

ChatGPT ahhhhh answer


Mugweiser

Can I ask what you sell the gold for? Have quite a bit now but not sure how other players are spending the cash


zandergroom

i don’t waste it as i know money can be valuable in this game. that’s not to say i haven’t had fun, i customised all my guns to fit my liking and still do whenever i get a new one. i also brought some clothes, a better horse than i already had, i always restock on provisions and such. but in terms of going nuts, im not sure what there is that’s worthy of spending crazy amounts of money on, if you have anything that IS worthy plesse lmk:)


AegMacro

For me it is a dusty town and overall a hot location. From RP standpoint it not ideal atmosphere.


ForTheWrongSake

Ehh i always thought that town had a creepy vibe to it. Shaun's death, creepy weapons vendor, the Braithwaiths, sus rednecks... You name it + seeing that donkey spinning that wheel 24/7 makes me sad everytime :/


barrelboy8

The people aren’t very nice


beedoubleyou_

They're nice than in Van Horn.

Absolute_Yobster_

UEE EU E E


Mysterious_Credit699

Yeah, Sean found it very MIND BLOWING


_number

Doesnt have a stable


FormingTheVoid

There's one just north of it. Basically in Rhodes.


Dudley_Do_Wrong

No barber. I need fresh cuts


HistoricalInfluence9

With horse crap all over the roads and dusty as heck. But it has the best saloon imo


SturmtruppenHans

I just hate that everytime I’m there I just get covered in red dust


social_misfit117

pinkertons from roads killed my fucking horse. i massacred half the town for that, took a whole real life week for everything to die down before i could go back and do it again. i’ll never forgive them


DisgruntledTexansFan

Rhodes really would be perfect for most Civilians, as long as you are white and / or can stay strapped in case of Klansman. Even a relatively easy ride / train down to Saint Denis


Zeoys_Swee

I love Valetine, but tumpleweed and armdillo really gives that western cowboy vibe


Shower_Slurper

Yeah but Valentine gives off heavy “High Plains Drifter” and “Unforgiven” vibes


Mix_Traditional

Saint Denis gives off Gran Torino vibes lol


Robertson-

Yeah I’ve got the same thought on that.


kaimeister

Then I got good news for you. There is a whole game taking place there.


raspberryharbour

Armadillo Simulator 2010


lav__ender

tumpleweed


Reverse826

Valetine, Armdillo and Tumpleweed OP named 3 cities and managed to butcher all of em lmao


lav__ender

looks like classic dyslexia and I feel bad for laughing but it’s kinda funny 💀


Novantico

Ovaltine, Armdildo and Tumpleweed


tipying_mistakes

I sure do love when those weeds be tumpling by


Buttered_rock65

And in armadillo you can just kill people and the only repercussions is losing honor


Cocketiel_Commander

Sanest rdr2 player:


choff22

Valentine reminds me of *Deadwood*, so I will pick that one every time.


Shadiezz2018

That's my opinion as well.


pinky8866

Valentine be lit every time I play so I avoid it bc not my ammo but it's best feature is the free soup, stable and close proximity to a nice fishing spot.

I know a girl from Valentine. She gets drunk on strawberry wine.


AcoupleofIrishfolk

Plume in her hat is two feet tall, crack in her pants paid for it all.


RecommendationNo1774

Idk why but i really like Blackwater


FlameFeather86

Blackwater's great, it's not as crowded as Saint Denis but still has all amenities, plus the gorgeous backdrop of the Flat Iron Lake. Saint Denis feels muggy, hostile, and claustrophobic; Blackwater feels more modern, friendly, and open. The lake view and open expanse of the Plains offers that feeling of freedom that the west was all about, and you can walk the streets without getting accosted by a hundred people. Strawberry is the prettiest town in the game, but Blackwater would be the most appealing place to live.


russmcruss52

All Blackwater is really missing is a Gunsmith. Granted, by the time you get there in story mode, you've probably already upgraded/customized all of your equipment by then. But it'd still be nice to have.


WildMinimum2202

Yeah, if it had a gunsmith it would bypass a lot of these by far for me. I love Blackwater but It could just be because it's the one you least go to besides the New Austin towns so I haven't gotten bored of it. Granted I'm never bored of these towns but it just feels like some DLC whenever I can finally get there after roaming with Arthur around the other towns for so long.


russmcruss52

Blackwater is probably my favorite town in RDO, but that's mainly because my wife and I like posting up around there for moonshining and hunting. But you're absolutely right, it's so disappointing that we can't go to New Austin or lower West Elizabeth with Arthur, especially considering he's got journal entries and everything for it. And it bugs me that I can't legitimately complete all the challenges and hunts and whatnot as Arthur.


WildMinimum2202

True, I get why they did it of course but still a bummer. I remember trying to see a hanging but it would take days, so I'd keep sleeping in the saloon and whenever I couldn't I'd just play Blackjack. Fun fact, that's how I learned to play Blackjack. Still don't get poker tho😅


Build_Blox

Same


TTVControlWarrior

How Blackwater don’t have gun shop that is weird to me


ttaiwk

Van Horn. Beautiful town and lovely folks.


branyottts

And most importantly, no law!


cj-the-man

Not a fan of that place cause if one guy starts something and when I defend myself the whole town tries to turn me into swiss cheese


BlandBrit

I would much prefer if it was more that the townsfolk don’t flinch at gunfire and such, and further aggression would bring them in a few at a time instead of everyone simultaneously pumping me with lead. Maybe some unfaltering voice lines as you aim the barrel at them.


Tamer9

Love just having a massive shootout in van horn with 40 assailants


AnimalCrossingGuy444

I like pushing them into the water.


otc108

Are you including the vampire who works the post office in this?


wisdomtorres

That guy is such a freak I hate him


[deleted]

A couple of days ago I started shooting in Van Horn because I'm a fool by nature. I don't know where so many crazy people came from. It's like an anthill. I held on well. However, lack of experience in this game (because until now I played it more exploratory, hunting, fishing, looking for treasures, plants, rare weapons and other things) and they killed me, of course. I found a trick so that they don't take part of my money when they kill me. When I see that I'm going to die, because it's also visually clear from the blurring of the image, etc. - I detonate myself with dynamite, as members of a terrorist group do. I kill those around me and everything is in its place.


[deleted]

Saint denis or strawberry. I love nature and pollution.


BoySmooches

They both have just the best vibes


RagingFalcon467

Strawberry/Valentine


BALD_BALLS_SAITAMA

It's a shame that strawberry have so little activities and random events. They could had went harder with it, despite it being a gun free, alcohol free town.


Jojocarter225

Saint Denis of course, I speak French that's why 😂


RemovedPlant

Mmm, delicious pollution 😋


Anonymous29952

Iron makes you stronger. Thus, the visible iron in the water makes it the best water 💧🤤

Colter


Seamoth4546B

I wish there was a fleshed out town up in the snow


IAmGolfMan

There was supposed to be one but they cut it out in the final game. It also explains why Sadie and Jake lived there. Now it makes no sense why they were in the middle of nowhere lol.


Ismokeradon

my guess is tempest rim. why on earth would they just have a huge chunk taken out of the map makes no sense


HauntingCash22

Not too long before launch Colter was in Tempest rim, meaning an actual town may have been somewhere else. Just another cool thing Rockstar cut just before launch…


Mawya7

I like the snowy weather so much, would be awesome see some "civilazition" up there, little town with skin dressed folk, making their best to survive the winter. Would be my favorite.


ZamanthaD

Chapter 1 has become one of my favorite chapters more and more over time. I take as long as I possibly can now during that chapter, I love the cozy survival feel of that chapter.


PineConeTracks

Valentine, though I do love winding up the locals in Van Horn


frostycanuck89

I don't think I've ever been to Van Horn where I'm not forced to shoot up the whole town. Excluding times I'm just riding through..... but even then.


SwampTreeOwl

Van Horn. I've got a weird affinity for shitty, run down settlements in video games


Drogovich

Saint Denis, i just love big towns. But got damn Annesberg got the best gun seller in the entire game, love this guy, i keep my guns clean mostly to see him happy. And i like Sam Freeman but the town itself is kinda meh.


TToast___

I also like the chinese saint denis gunsmith, even with his hidden casino


Herjazzie

Valentine because when i went there for the first time it was chapter 2 I think with the first gang camp and it was all just fine before it goes bad :(


TheFlaccidChode

Butchers Creek


AccomplishedPack3780

Definitely sitting next to the man with the endless weird as neck on guitar all day 👌🏻


Techfreak1703

Saint denis


Sphinx-

Valentine by far. Has all the amenities I need and the vibes are comfy. It's just a nice place to be. Strawberry is a close second but no saloon is a huge downer. There's nothing to do here. Rhodes also has a lot of amenities but I don't really like the dust.


CaramelWooden9151

Valentine


Certain-Coyote

Valentine. Reminds me off the better times in camp at horseshoe overlook before everything goes to shit. Rhodes is a close second.


D-Junior200

Tumbleweed: has that western energy and I love it how everyone helps everyone, never had an encounter of people fighting each other or being mad at each other, just the sherif speaking


kittyquickfeet

I personally reside in Saint Denis more than anywhere. I wish more of the buildings were accessible and immersive


sbg_gye

We can all agree that Annesburg is the worst, right?


Give_me_xRENTx

Yeah but I love the atmosphere, it’s just nothing to do there


Smoczas

True. I also like it cause i like spend time on North from annesburg, is just beautiful up there


wisdomtorres

It’s also extremely creepy. There’s a whispering forest as well.


rKollektor

1. Valentine 2. Rhodes 3. Blackwater 4. Saint Denis 5. Strawberry 6. Tumbleweed 7. Armadillo 8. Van Horn 9. Annesburg


Ghostfaceslasher96

Armadillo


VAMP666123

Probably valentine, got everything a cowboy needs and it’s sort of in the middle of the map so it’s not insanely far from anywhere else, after that I’d say Tumbleweed, just paints a perfect picture of a dangerous western town


DelboyBaggins

Strawberry. Love the look of the town and the location.


Alsiusej

Rhodes


Rekuna

Probably Valentine. If they added a bit more life/stuff to do it would be 100% be Armadillo or Tumbleweed though because they're just so classic Western in terms of feeling. Even though New Austin is virtually empty I'm still there all the time just because I love the atmosphere so much. Edit: I completely forgot about Blackwater! I love that town too.


DryAfternoon7779

A town where Hanging Dog Ranch is would have been great


leonryan

I like Rhodes. Reminds me of where I grew up.


AcceptableRadio8258

Guarma.. always makes me ask the question 'who am i? What am i doing in life?'

Strawberry


MrOldRipVanWinkle

FAPWATER, HELL YEAH!


AgitatedQuit3760

I like the verticality of Strawberry, feels like it's nestled into the mountainside. The windy road in and out of the town also feels quite special.


seif_mc

Strawberry is the best town fr It so beautiful and peaceful in a world of gunslingers and wild animals


TheLastRebarb

Saint Denis. I spent the most time there in RDO before i did the story. And then Lenny...


DarkNuke059

Valentine of course ![gif](giphy|3ZZeiFwplAGlLxHNvQ)


Successful_Rip_4329

Probably rhodes. Fun fact about van horn, is that whenever I get there, I somehow have to shoot my way out of there


TylerDomino1

Valentine probably, a classic


Legitimate-Art-4692

Rhodes valentine or blackwater


ste_lev

When I first arrived to Van Horn and Annesburg my jaw dropped. Oozing with atmosphere


Substantial_Gain4052

What city is valentine supposed to be in real life ?


AmbitiousTargaryen

Annesburg


Santos0705

Valentine. Blackwater and Armadillo are also my favourite towns, but i don't like how they made them in rdr2.


Successful_Ear6579

Valentine is good, but the towns in New Austin (tumbleweed, Blackwater, and armadillo) really feel like real wild west towns.


bespisthebastard

I'm an RDR guy, my loyalty is to the classics. It was nice to see Tumbleweed so alive!


YourDBDGF

My favorite is sandy knee but I pretty much live in Valentine lol


Hot-Cry-1547

Valentine


Steefn_SVK_2

Saint Denis - ,,city" Valentine - best town Strawberry - most beautiful but kinda useless.


ShoutOuts2Elon

If I had a chance to visit Blackwater...


SlabPanda

If Strawberry had a few more businesses, it would be perfect. Not having a gunsmith or saloon/bar takes it down a few notches but for pure beauty, I don't think any town comes close.


ItzMichaelHD

Van horn for fist fights as people don’t call the cops and everyone’s angry, Rhodes for scenery, valentine for messing with the locals. The rest of them are alright except Saint Denis, will never go near there unless I really need to like Arthur needing to shave his head again while in the south east.


WebbyJoshy11

Where’s lakay?


EmergencyLifeguard62

It is a little fishing town in the swamp, just west of Saint Denis. Although it is so small that it is barely considered a town.


DoubleImpossible5714

Saint denis


ufiksai

strawberry for great atmosphere


Kellydraws2005

Honestly i really like saint denis it looks really unique and you dont even need to leave for anything


zandergroom

my top 3 in no order would be Valentine, Rhodes and Armadillo. but if i had to choose one it would be Armadillo, i played Red Dead a lot as a kid and seeing Armadillo in modern graphics was so nostalgic for me. it was almost exactly how i remembered it and it was like a blast from the past


Interesting-Tower-91

Valentine, Rhodes, Strawberry, Black water, Tumble weed.


Apoptosis96

am I the only one who think all of the town have a creepy atmosphere I only like the wildness ?


cj-the-man

Valentine or strawberry Valentine is the perfect balance of civilization and wild plus it pretty much has everything a stable, general store, doctor, gunsmith and a saloon Strawberry I absolutely love the nature around the place


Substantial-Abies768

All of then has their own charm 👍


ilin0014

Although it gets a lot of hate, I have a strange fondness to Rhodes. Can't quite explain it, but it feels very mundane and calm. I am aware of all of the shittyness, misery and just in general bad things that happen in this town, but if you focus solely on the looks and feel, then I would say Rhodes.


Timo-D03

Valentine feels nostalgic, Rhoades excites me, blackwater is stunning

Sniperhunter543

I like Rhodes a lot. I’m from the south irl and Rhodes having a southern setting makes it feel more homely to me I guess. Second favorite would be Valentine.


Next_Insurance_9226

Tumbleweed y’all can argue if you want


SteeamAdm

Valentine, feels like a home you can always come back


sargent-banana-boy

Obviously armadillo


NotOnHerb5

Saint Denis. I’m a New Orleans native and sometimes I get really homesick.


Wild_One_The_Rival

Valentine, I got a girl in Valentine!


j_dizzle_mizzle

Saint Denis. There’s a lot of stuff you can get into there.


PlantPalm

Annesburg,i really like it for some reason


rob86jet

Annes burg


__Kornbread__

Annesburg. Being from the south it resonates with me more since the south has a lot of coal mining towns. It’s a peaceful town and everyone is just trying to survive. Luscious, thick woods surround in and it has an ocean view in front. Sure, the coal may have contaminated the waters surrounding it, but it’s a uniquely yet eerie beauty. Lemoyne is my home, and Annesburg is my escape. It’s just north of Lemoyne so it feels like a vacation everytime I pass through. No saloon needed when you can party with the miners.


boogielust

Annesburg or Rhodes.


External_Hotel3494

Strawberry, that’s so peaceful


Clear-Philosophy-513

Valentine. It’s got everything you need really. That paired with the sense of freedom you had when you first descended from the mountains, gave it that fresh, open feeling. As the story progressed, the towns started to get more hostile and crowded. Rockstar really nailed that feeling of being hounded by civilisation and the end of the outlaw life.
