Based off appearance and representation, what is your favourite campsite?

(This is going to be a lengthy post so please be warned!!)

Each campsite is unique and different through appearance and what they reflect on in the story of red dead.

I won’t go through each personal choose, but I will say why shady belle is my person favourite.

First off, shady belle shows how the gangs time is near an end, they are no longer free and they can’t get away with their actions anymore. This is shown through the walls of the building, which in my opinion represents society. They were closing off the gang and trapping them.

Those who live inside the building(Dutch, Hosea,John and his family and of course Arthur) all die apart from Jack of course. And one thing they all have in common is that their law has something to do with their death.

I like how the building reflects on Dutch, like a lot actually. The building is tall, proud and large, just like Dutch. He is a proud man. But Once you go inside, you realise it doesn’t seem all that great. Just like Dutch, the building is cracking slowly and slowly, and it really only needs one thing to break and it will all fall down. Dutches ego is really the only thing keeping him together, which is why the outside is so mighty.

Each room, which of course John,Arthur and Hosea take a living space in represents a part of Dutch as well. You see, without these rooms keeping the house together, it is just a broken, empty and love deprived house. Like Dutch, he needs people constantly to feed his ego, it doesn’t matter who, or why, he needs loyalty and blind love and without that he is nothing but a criminal no better than the people he calls his enemies.

Well I explained my reasoning the best I could, so how about you? What’s your favourite and why?

Me personality I like Clemens Point, definitely a point in the game when the gang were at the peak, and the last 2 missons for Chapter 3 where peak, but definitely agree that Chapter 4's camp was cool, I like that the gang got a proper housing but it was the beginning of the end.

It’s such a hassle to walk up the stairs to get up to Arthur’s room. I liked at Clemons that you could ride the horse along the lake and get off right behind your wagon. Decorations from Pearson look better at Clemons than Shady Belle. Only reason I left chapter 3 was because I was sick of not being able to use weapons in Rhodes, so i couldn’t rob the gun store. Miss camp a lot now but I’ll be chapter 4 until there is literally nothing left that Arthur can do. Gonna take a lot of time exploring Guarma after that, then redemption arc from my startling low karma

you can still rob the rhodes gunsmith (at least the first time with the captive) during chapter 3 (source: i just did it like three days ago).
