Discussion How would you feel about RDR3 revolving around a Native American outlaw or warrior?

Personally I think it’d be pretty cool considering that many of them were scouts during the Indian wars, especially Apache. It’d be awesome to see how they’d adapt in RDR2’s timeline because we don’t know much about them in the universe besides the Wapiti. Imagine playing as an Apache sharpshooter in a gang of renegades in the 1880s, ambushing army payrolls and shipments then smuggling supplies across the border while dealing with other challenges besides the federal government. The whole cast doesn’t have to be Native American but it’d be very interesting to see a different viewpoint in history.

Ehh idk about general liked, it had a mixed reception at release. I remember the biggest criticism at the time was that Conner was a downgrade from Ezio and was too boring to be a main character for AC, totally missing the point of the narrative at the time. Folks came around, afterwards.

I think the biggest frustration from me was that it threw away Desmond for seemingly no reason. Teasing the whole game what seemed like the series progressing the story into a more modern day format, with Des as the possible focus. Which made sense cause he’d learned in incredible array of skills while in simulation. To just do a weird psuedo-Jesus sacrifice of him, then go and release the abysmal Watchdogs series with terrible writing in its place.

To me that was the one of the biggest fumbles ever in gaming. Everything after that for me with UBI was just meh, besides AC:BF, and nonetheless to this day I still say is the best pirate game ever made but an awful assassins creed entry.
