You're not useless man @zanpancan you're just as valuable as anybody who is here was just mentioning the inside joke this thread has that you've probably seen before. Papafuerte is our hype train conductor and every regular in here (like yourself) was given a position for this hype train! I have been the peace officer considering whenever this turned too much to a bitch and moan environment and arguments broke out, I would bring my positivity and try to break up the fights (successful most of the time) just tried to keep a good vibe around here so I was eventually given the title of peace officer lol. :P 

Well, i'll be the doctor who treats everyone after each hype train crash (i didn't spend all those years in med school for nothing)

[user x]

in that case i will take care of collecting gunpowder and girls for team ... hahahh

Ooohhh ladies are always a great addition ;D and Doctor that's cool!^ respect!! Man a doctor we needed you months ago during the "great 7 month drought" one of the worst moments there was. It seemed people were dying left and right on the hype train it was so sad to witness it and even see myself dying a lil bit inside

Don't worry, for the doctor will use his healing powers to heal all the sick, scarred and wounded. I myself was caught thirsty in the drought, licking moisture off of my surgical instruments, but it's all fine now as i have an elixer from the east that can cure all ailments!

What if rdr2 has more than one ending...

 

What if we can choose what happens to Arthur and his loved ones by our in game choices...

 

Since there is a 12 year gap between the two games...it would be the perfect opportunity for multiple (tough as hell) choices to make that depend the outcome.

HUD "At the demo’s close, two more tidbits of information were imparted. First, the game’s HUD is completely customisable; players can remove every trace of in-game help – including the circular map in the bottom of the screen – should they wish, making the experience all the more immersive."

 

Oh man, I'm tempted to completely turn off every possible element of the hud as soon as the game lets me do so ... it'll be amazing and I suppose I will get lost several times in the world and whatnot! I also think this will ensure you get surprised by new stuff even hundreds of hours into the game. You won't constantly look at the mini-map to see if some icons pop-up.

I was thinking the same thing. Would be cool if this is a possibility.I will have to get used to it, tho. Also, one of the pre-order bonuses is a survival kit. Don't know if it was mentioned before but what if there will be a compass in this kit to navigate in the world instead of the HUD....

A compass  ... that'd certainly be amazing. It would make the world of RDR2 even more immersive I'd imagine!

Did somebody mentioned the Great Blizzard of 1899? 

"The Great Blizzard of 1899 also known as the Great Arctic Outbreak of 1899 and the St. Valentine's Day Blizzard, was a very severe winter weather event that affected most of the U.S., especially east of the Rocky Mountains. On February 11"

Since there are also snow areas in the game, it would be logical if the gang have to deal with this in the story?

  Large band of NPCs with varied skillsets that you can pick and choose for squad assignments on missions.  

They actually said in one of the previews that you WON'T be able to pick and choose who goes with you on missions, that they wanted to do it, but it didn't work within the framework of the narrative

Yeah, they obviously played with this idea but in the end - all things considered - it isn't as good an idea as it may sound on paper. Glad R* decided against it!

 

 

HYPE TRAIN 8991 - a word from its self-chosen steward Emmi

 

@PapaFuerte will be back here once the hype train leaves the last station on its way to the Heartlands. I can assure you he is still with us so please don't worry! Estimated arrival of Hype Train 8991 in the Heartlands is October 25th at midnight with an estimated 10 million passengers by the time. Place of arrival will be Saint Denis. A quick reminder that the city of Saint Denis is inhabiting 50.000 Americans and a handful non-American as well so please do not worry about using foreign languages. I WILL NOT TOLERATE ABUSIVE LANGUAGE AT ALL! You have been warned. Lastly please remind that if anyone is on this train without actual approval from PapaFuerte or without an eligible railroad ticket this person will be dealt with accordingly. If you have any further questions, do not hestitate to contact me or any other passenger you feel likeable. Oh, before I forget ... put your seatbelts on, this could be a rough section to its last station ... If you sense another draught coming, DO CLOSE THE WINDOWS!!!

A bit of medical advice from Dr. zanpancan here, Always consume MY magic elixer from the east before boarding the train. It protects against all ailments including droughts! As part of a partnership with HYPE TRAIN 8991, ALL WHO PURCHASE A TICKET WILL RECEIVE 3 FREE BOTTLES OF ELIXER!

offer applicable until July 31

I can explain this. That mysterious man is YOU! And the only person copying anything is you copying my idea to sell elixers. Difference is, you swindle and I deliver
