#rdo update

[tazcreates]

I haven't seen very many mens outfits for rdo on the internet for I'm gonna post a couple that I made here :]

I usually try to match some of my outfits to my horses (eg, the red being the chestnut turkomen and the darker colours for dark bay shire), but I might start making other ones for shits and giggles. I think my character would look decent in a blue, or teal.

But here! These are the custom outfits I have for my character. My favourites are the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th.

I meant to add what clothing items you need on this post, but I logged out and forgot to write it all down. If y'all want like, a tutorial or list of things, lmk and I can post it for you :]

ALSO!! If you have any outfits you want to share (femme/masc/andro) for Red Dead Online, please share!!

Thank you!

one time i was on a mission on rdo with some randos and we were supposed to mount our horses to start the mission and i accidentally pressed the wrong button and punched my fucking horse. so all a bunch of internet strangers saw was me running up to my horse and full on punching it in the butt. my friends still call me horse puncher. you punch ONE horse and suddenly you're a horse puncher for life

i fucking hate 100 gb+ games. triple a games dont want to compress their got damn filesa dn they want it to run at the worst possible quality on worst frames. and then you cant play a good game because you have no more storage space because 3 games take up your entire card fuck you!!!!!

How do you think Arthur Morgan would react to a reader who has a great connection with animals? The reader knows how to calm animals, from horses to pigs and chickens, she also ensures that the animals have a good food and she will always be seen with a cat or a dog in her arms.

┊ ˚➶ notes ｡˚ 🎼

this request was sooo cute!! sorry it took me a little while to complete it, i’ve been working on like fifteen different drafts at once !! 💗

┊ ˚➶ warnings ｡˚ 🎼

mentions of animals ( dogs, cats, horses ), mentions of arthur getting bucked off of his horse 😭, intended lowercase, lmk if i missed anything!!

. ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄ . ˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

❥ let me start this off by saying that i think arthur would literally adore you and your presence. like, he already thinks you’re such a beautiful lady and that you’re amazing within your own, but seeing you so domestic with animals does something to him.

❥ arthur’s lived a hard life, he’s calloused and struggles with letting himself enjoy some of the nicer moments in life alone. but when he finds you, it feels like all of the toughness that everybody sees melts away. all he wants is you, and now that’s he’s experienced the feeling of you, he never wants to let that go

❥ if you have a more curt and blunt nature to yourself, but you just melt around animals? oh, man— he’ll do anything to see that side of you. whenever it slips out and he sees you care so much for the horses or actually supply them with hay bales and proper necessities, his eyes will always follow you curiously

❥ and even if you’re a super sweet and outwardly kind person, he’ll still adore you!! he thinks it’s cute how you care so much for animals even if he wont say it to you, he has a fondness for animals too— except it’s more so updating his compendium and hunting them rather than taking them under his wing and feeding them 😭

❥ if you have a dog, he will love that baby to death let me tell you. doesn’t matter if they’re mangy or a mutt or even purebred, he will love them regardless. if we’re going based off what dogs you can get in rdo, i think he’d get along with a chill bigger dog— but even if your dog was energetic or more on guard like a chesapeake bay retriever or a labrador retriever, he will still adore them. i can just imagine arthur with a little guard dog by his side walking through camp as it follows him everywhere. having a dog will probably make him remember his old dog copper as he tells you tales of his journeys with him at night while rubbing your dog behind the ear as it lays its head on his lap.

❥ arthur’s not really a cat person but he won’t mind if you have one!! cats are very independent and he understands that so he’ll give them their space until one day they just like.. drape themselves over his lap and he has no idea what to do. he feels bad if he stands up but like.. he doesn’t know what else to do 😭

❥ and while i’m writing this i’m thinking of how in the game, micah would literally kick the crap out of cain in rdr2 and would scold him for no reason :(((. let me just say that arthur would literally not stand for that ( and yes i only write for high honor arthur, but i feel like regardless of his honor he wouldn’t be okay with it either way ). also why am i imagining micah getting bit or scratched and arthur just like laughing at him— like even him and your animal share a look because do you see this utter buffoonery? micah’s more of an animal than anyone if we’re being honest

❥ if you don’t like seeing him hunt or watching him skin animals, then he’ll suggest you turn away or he’ll point out something in the distance ( probably another cute animal prancing around or something ), and if it’s something small like a rabbit or a bird then it’ll be done in no time and he’ll redirect your attention back to him, jumping back on his horse and saying you guys should continue on with your journey

❥ if you need him to stop by to get any necessities or food for the animals at camp, he’ll stop by on his way back and get them the proper things they need. if you thank him, he’ll just brush it off and say it’s no problem— ( he was like two counties away but he’d gladly go back if you needed him to do so ).

❥ in summary, i feel like arthur would do really great with a partner with pets or a love for animals in general. he doesn’t get the fascination too much but he’ll support you nonetheless, as long as you don’t get hurt trying to pet something that looks cute when it’s not lmfao.

❥ holy crap i need jelp whyisa rthjrorhajgan so fne

“shh.. calm down, boy.” with your hands held out cautiously, you slowly approached ARTHUR’s bucking horse— the tennessee walker’s chestnut coat glimmering in the sun as it shone on its back. its alarmed neighs filled the air with only the distant rushing of water to accompany it, along with arthur’s huffs behind you as he caught his breath.

“‘s alright.” you cooed at the horse, waiting until its breaths slowed down slightly before you moved closer. your arms slowly extended out to reach his snout, his eyes widened and looking everywhere but you. you softly shushed as you halted your movements. your hand hovered over the white of his proboscis before finally placing a gentle hand on its nose, feeling its heavy breathing upon your arm.

“i still dont— fff.. get how you.. do ‘at.” arthur wheezed, bent over with his knees supporting him as he placed firm hands on them. he let out a breathy laugh, tipping his head up so you could catch a glimpse of his eyes under the brim of his hat. “i dunno what he even gotten spooked over.” he shook his head, watching as you pulled out a small carrot from your pocket and carefully fed it to his horse who munched on it in delight.

you didn’t pay him a glance as you were enveloped in the tenessee walker instead, smiling as you replied, “probably just somethin’ in the grass.”

“fair ‘nuff.” he shrugged, brushing himself off before placing a hand on his back while he winced. arthur sucked some air between clenched teeth as he struggled to stand upright. “think he got somethin’ in my back, too.” with a string of muttered curses, he hunched over once again.

your head turned this time, still focused on giving small pats to the horse’s nose as you tilted your head. brows furrowed, you asked, “need me to get you something from outta town?”

“naw, ‘s fine—“

“arthur, i was heading out that way already,” you pointed a thumb behind you— leading his vision to your horse stationary in the distance, tapping its hooves against the ground as it waited. he looked back at you as you held a gentle smile on your face and continued, “i don’t mind stoppin’ for something.”

arthur sighed, his fingers still kneading his lower back as he let out an occasional groan.

he let the silence take hold on the situation for a second, contemplating his options. letting his fingers twist and grab at the grass beneath him— his eyes flickered between the two horses, and then finally back to you. realizing it wouldn’t make a difference and you’d probably get it anyway, he waved a dismissive hand around and finally nodded his head.

“yeah, sure.”

I don't think Red Dead Redemption needs a remake

This is a bold statement, I know, but hear me out on this one first. Since the PC release of RDR and admittedly beforehand, I've always seen comments about when would there be a remake of RDR and I think that it doesn't really need one.

From a graphical standpoint, I think the game holds up fine and looks good despite its age, maybe if it had been made in the early 2000s and the 90s like the earlier Resident Evils and Silent Hill games that got a remake then I would understand. However the game was only released in the mid 2010s and with the current trend of studios remaking their games, I don't think its time for that with RDR.

From a story standpoint there is a lot of inconsistencies between RDR and RDR2 but I don't believe that is for RDR to fix when RDR2 created most of these holes in the plot. Realistically, I think that RDR2 should have had an update to fix some of these issues to reduce some of the inconsistencies, however there is some that I don't think could have been fixed as they are issues with the story itself.

It is no secret that Arthur was theorised to have been able to go into New Austin and Blackwater due to cut lines found in the files and that the studios being pressed for time left those areas underdeveloped as a result. And with my prior experience in games design I know that making a game in general is no easy feat, especially at the level that RDR and RDR2 are. Though because these areas feature in the original game, them being underdeveloped makes the differences between the two games more obvious. For example the lack of the Wreck of Serendipty on the shore of the San Luis River when NPCs in RDR describe it being there for ages, a lot longer than the 12 years between the two games. Another example being the lack of the barn at the MacFarlane Ranch and Bonnie's age in RDO for RDR2 as in RDR she states that it was built by her father when she was a little girl and she's an adult in RDO that you can get missions from when she would be in her early teens in 1898.

I think if those plot holes were not there and that Arthur had been able to go to these areas in the game in RDR2 it wouldn't have felt as strange with the existence of RDR, as going into New Austin as John in 1907 because that area is now available to get the things needed for 100% ruins some of the immersion and story for RDR as it's clearly implied that John does not know New Austin that well as he has to have a guide from Armadillo to Fort Mercer in the first mission.

This leads me onto my other issue with RDR2, the Blackwater Massacre. I believe that this job shouldn't have happened in Blackwater as it created the whole lockdown area for Arthur. But it also creates a massive discrepancy between RDR and RDR2 and the epilogue of the second game as why would John settle down and build a ranch right next to the town that he was apart of the massacre of? I don't think John would be that stupid to build a ranch right there but he did and I find it surprising that the events of American Venom are what make the pinkertons find John. As if him building a ranch and getting a loan in his actual name by the town that he was a part of the ferry job would be hard to find out.

It can be implied that John would have worked on the ranch between 1907 and 1911 and kept his head down but with the players control and achievements John doesn't exactly do that and it creates some of the plot holes between the two games. I think some fix for this which would be hard to do based on the fact that RDR2 is 6 years old now and wouldn't be updated but I think if the Massacre set before RDR2 was in a different location than Blackwater, like Saint Denis or a town that isn't on the map that is above Ambarino would make the most sense as it wouldn't feel like John is being foolish and it would give Arthur the access to the RDR areas.

Theres a lot of small issues with the game, like the complete butchering of epilogue john, (how does that man become RDR John in 4 years? i will never know) but these were just my rambling waffle about the games. Feel free to tell me about your opinions on this, im curious what other people think or what ways they could change the story to fix some of the issues created.

can’t wait to see everyone’s Halloween inspired outfits this month!🧡👻

[star-spangled-bastard]

year 3 without a game update!! give it up for year 3 without a game update!

every year @lordgoopy and I have to come up with more and more absurd ways to "celebrate" the anniversary of the last real rdo update. We started with strip poker, last year was strip fishing, and this year was figuring out how to take a bath (finally)

Long Time No See!

Let me post here to let people know I'm still alive. And that I miss you all.

Any update on my life? Not much. Had a job that mentally and physically exhausted me. Much as I loved it, and miss it every day, it definitely took too much of a toll on my mental health and kept me from a lot of hobbies and passions I had.

I've also started roleplaying through RedM (RDR2/RDO rp) and would love to introduce a few characters from there to here one day. Most notably Alice Klein (currently Hillberd in the server I'm in right now 'cause she married!) who I've had a pleasure in developing her story with the help of current rp partner (who plays Alice's husband).

One day I'll get myself to add her along with a few other RDR2 ocs.

Another small, but possibly major thing, is I may try to get back into streaming. We'll see how that goes.

Anyways! Lovely to see a lot of people on my dash and just thought I'd give a little mini update on what and how I'm doing!

[coltermorning]

bonnie macfarlane was such a joyful surprise wtf!!!!!!!!! i dont ever see anyone using her in their fanfics, let alone make them an asset to the story!!!!! ive been keeping up with the updates and i’m so excited for more!!!!

Thank you! I love Bonnie so much and was so glad to see her in rdo. Had to put her in there when the idea of the ranch worked its way into the story. Last part soon to come! 🧡

[fizzytoo]

fuck gta i hate her. bring back rdo updates

TANNER’S PROGRESS REPORT: DECEMBER 15TH 2022 (THU)

NEW MEDS GET!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm to take them every bedtime and we're slowly building the dosage up over the course of a month to the level I'm going to be at going forwards. So! We'll see how this one pans out.

I've also got the sketch done for the mid-month NSFW Patreon piece tonight, so that's just about ready for lines on Monday. And now it's the weekend! I can do whatever I want! In all likelihood I'm probably going to work on the FFXIV fic I've been commissioned to write and draw monsters fucking in between rounds of playing FFXIV.

I fucking love FFXIV. It's so good. It's so good. I did the Christmas event this evening and it was delightful. This game is written by geniuses like 99% of the time; there's been a few rough spots here and there that are like. This is a ten year old Japanese game and it falls back on the kind of humour you'd expect from a ten year old Japanese game occasionally. But other than that! Terrific, wonderful, brilliant. Having come to it from RDO and watching that game circle the drain for months and months while its potential was squandered by a studio that didn't and still doesn't care for it, it's so refreshing to play a game that gets regular updates and is clearly much beloved by its generously-staffed dev team.

That and I fucking love Stelak. I often say that I never intended to get so attached to him, and it's true! I didn't! But I did and I love him! I'm going to love him forever, probably.

I should draw him more.

[kamassa-river]

I played the new telegram missions not really expecting much given that the last batch we got was an utter mess i played once and never looked at again but man they are so fucking bad lmao.

First off they all just have you walking in a circle for a painfully long time (espescially the hunting one). It's either "get on your horse and ride over here, get off your horse and beat up some people" or "follow this npc over here, beat up some people", rinse and repeat X amount of times. Now, you could argue that most rdo missions were already like this, just more well hidden, and you'd be right, but normally there's a layer of ...idk what the right word is. Immersion? There's enough thought put into distracting you from the fact that all you're really doing is going from point A to point B and then shooting a couple of enemies that it, well, works. Simply put. But when it's done in utter silence, interrupted only by some chopped up voicelines already in the game, it doesnt. At all.

Second, (and this goes for most of the telegram missions) you dont get to choose the difficulty, there is absolutely no indication that your aim assist will be completely turned off even on standard difficulty, aka your first attempt, and you dont get to choose if you wanna play solo or matchmake, so you either a) end up with randoms who rush through the mission or b) play alone against a now ridiculous amount of poorly programmed enemies. It's the same thing as the pvp modes being on a fucking schedule and stranger missions paying more the longer you take - backwards in the most annoying ways possible.

This on top of Rockstar removing posse and horse names in an "update" (only you can see you horse name now, other players just see the breed) and the game still getting glitchier each time i log on.. it's just insulting honestly.

And let's talk about the actual missions. Look at this.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN??

This is from the "protect the do-gooder" or whatever it was called (it's really that memorable) and like?? I was genuinely so confused as to what just happened when i played this but apparently she's getting kidnapped. Mind you, we're not forced to go down here - the driver takes her here for some reason (i guess she's meant to be helping the poor?? that's my best guess as she was giving money to beggars earlier but we also went to the saloon and then got her mail for her so idk man) and she gets out and walks out on the dock by her own volition. We then go and save her in thieves landing but dont actually take her to where she was originally going. It just ends there. But i think most people just want this shit to be over at that point so it's probably for the best.

It's crazy to me that this exists alongside rdr2's story mode. Sure, rdo has never been and never will be at that same level of storytelling but compare this to Land of Opportunities or Life of 'Shine. Those still had some heart. There was at least some thought and care put into them. Even the first few telegrams we got had potential. I remember really enjoying the one where you're in Saint Denis trying to find your target and the only clue you get is that he wears a tophat and striped vest. It was creative if nothing else. This is just "There's guys for you to shoot, what more do you want? Oh, why is there no dialouge? Oh- Yeah, um, so the budget for this was actually nothing. Yeah. It was actually an exercise for our new intern. Was it his first day? Yes. Yes it was. And we obviously didnt record any new voicelines for this so, uh, you kinda just have to imagine there's a plot for this one. I think it's kinda charming that it's like charades and you have to guess what's going on. Or- Oh! A silent film! We did add the Halloween pass 2 back for the fourth year in a row, though. That's exciting, right?"
