This is my character: named Á:nen and my horse Genessee, hes part of the Mohawk tribe, Bear clan. The outfit is pretty simple but I like it, I really want body paint and breechcloths though.

Here is another opportunity for R* to expand their gameplay without too much effort: add more native relevant clothes, weapons, and other accoutremonts, add some missions revolving around this theme, especially add a role based on two directions of common native cultural divergence: go isolationist, or basically assimilated, yet still defiantly apart.

 

Of course some idjits would bark on about 'cultural appropriation', though I assume most role players have some native ancestry.

Celebrating one's heritage, even if only electronically, is never a bad thing.

The next set of Story Missions after LeClerk could be Native American ones. Who know that they have had a long running war with the Army so this would work. Instead of good and bad being black and white and our selections of missions being tied to Karma we should get to choose who to help.

 

Reward us with a unique vendor depending on who we finish the story for. Native American clothing and weapons if we help them and Military clothing and weapons if we help the Army.

Hopefully if they do add some specifically native content, it's not merely tied to a few missions and that's it, there is far more required to further fill out the world, and this would be one big step in the right direction.

Also more Chinese and black culture need to be added.

There's a strong predominance of caucasian right now, and that's not really accurate historically.

Like what? What can be added that won't be pandering?

I see it more as appealing to a subset of the player base who want to role play.

And I'm positive that R*/T2 would not shrink form pandering anyway.

That's fine as long as we get something interesting out of it.

 

There is a HUGE base of Chinese players in game now, I'm sure many of them would want to utilize some form of heritage based roles.

If there were such a role, or at least role type missions, they should be locked to characters who have made the appropriate choices during character creation.

Ideally, they should allow us a second character slot to take advantage of this rather than scrap all existing progress.

You still haven't told me exactly what the content would be. How do you make content for these groups without it being stereotypically Racist or pandering? Also are you being serious about content being locked off if your character is not of a certain Race?

As far as avoiding stereotype, I don't think that's a likely scenario, but wouldn't it be welcome nonetheless?

It could only be considered racist if it is demeaning or belittling the respective cultures somehow.

A representation of strong, independent, and proud people who take authority into their own hands after suffering mistreatment, with the idea that now they are in control their own destinies certainly couldn't be considered negative.

 

An idea for some Chinese immigrant content might center around an influential merchant based in St. Denis, as there is a significant population in one quarter.

For African American content, perhaps ex-Union Army members who have banded together during the civil war and now operate their own organization, maybe offering protection for other black community members who are being taken advantage of by the locals or government.

Each their own faction, like in GTA San Andreas.

 

There is plenty of space on the map for additions, or adaptation of existing assets to accommodate new content.

And that's not even discussing adding Mexico and Spanish cultural influence into the game.

I don’t play a fully native character but my character is Metis. His native ancestry is Cree, Saulteaux, and Crow. Some native related things I would like to see in game:

 

Capotes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capote_(garment) - basically the poncho of the more northern parts of the Americas, the Hudsons Bay Point Coat is particularly iconic.

 

Some good southwest native style clothes in-game, but some more plains and eastern woodlands ones would be good too.

 

Facepaint

 

Jewelry

 

Snow shoes

 

Head bands/ability to wear the bandanas as a headband:

This style of hat (idk what it’s called):

Braided with and without pompadours, and bangs (and ribbons, beads, feathers, fur etc):

I would love a bigger involvement of native americans other than archeological findings.

[Guest]

So, I have made a new crew for all Native American players! If you join the crew you are more likely to be put into a session with more Native Players! Adding diversity to the heavily cowboy (this guy will do) based player base. 

 

I got banned on Facebook trying to recruit as I said "white devil" in my post

 

Join the Tribe! It is on Rockstar social club under "The Wapiti People" let's get our land back!

Exactly, They put it in the story so why not? Plus they drop the N bomb in a derogatory way in rdr about 100 times lol so it shouldn't be that far out

Sent a request.

[Taklishim]

I sent a request as well.

 

There's a part of me that wants to form a crew/persistent posse of 7, based out of Wapiti itself, and we take a no nonsense aggressive approach to travelers in Ambarino all along that East-West road from say the mossy hill home (or the lookout tower near the border of New Hanover)  all the way west down to Cattail Pond.

 

We could be raiders, going after traders and moonshiners, treasure hunters are chased off our land, hunters of the animal life are chased off our land, that type of approach (not persistent griefing, but roleplaying of a sort)

 

Or we could be beneficiaries, we could help out and protect traders and the moonshiners, clear the roads, help hunt by forming hunting parties to drop pelts and carcasses off to people's camps.

 

I honestly could go either way, but I have had fun with some of you just forming little 2-3 man posses and completing world missions and events with just traditional weapons. Just an idea.

I would love to do something like this. There is a in game tribe called the Panwee i have seen on YT and all they seem to do is grief with exsplosive ammo and spam mauser pistols, not very native. The idea of having a collection of native characters all using bows and tomahawks while we ambush deliveries would be fun. If you have a native character, then you have to RP properly.

I'd love the option to ride bare back. I dont even care if we get no stat boosts from it, I buy saddles for looks instead of stats anyway

SP has so really nice fur saddles you can get from the Trapper I think. We need them in Online.

If I can get close to wearing outfits like these on Tuesday then I will be pretty happy. Let’s see what rockstar can come up with

You can ( probably ) forget about breastplate, other two you can already combine from things in Catalogue

The breastplate is already in the game though on npcs so why should it be forgotten?
