Epilogue Part 1 (spoilers!)

[TreeFitty 2631]

So things in the main story were hinting towards what happened.

 

Big question is: Who did you guess it would be after all the shit that happened? I was actually a little surprised. Figured they'd go with someone else.

So, does John just spawn with whatever hair Arthur has post game? Or was it just a coincidence for me?

[TreeFitty 2631]

Amish beard? That's what he had for me. I never styled Arthur's beard so don't know if that was grown out for John or not.

[Jizzy 633]

When they were first driving the carriage he just had the natural stage 3 beard like I had with Arthur

[TreeFitty 2631]

Probably what it was for me. I thought it looked hilarious so didn't bother shaving down to RDR1 spec.

I still maintain he looks like Keanu Reeves with a beard. Was quite annoying, i'd shave his beard down to a level 3 so it looks similar to his Redemption appearance, then start a mission, get a timelapse and he'd have the fucking thing back again.

[Jizzy 633]

I can't stand that his pre epilogue and rdr 1 haircuts aren't in the game

[ViceMan 1380]

I just let his hair grow out a bit, looks pretty convincing with a level 3 beard.

They put the outfit in, though. All the fanboys probably creamed their pants when he put on the sleeveless jacket.

i figured that we'd end the game playing as john... it was fun to watch him learn how to run a ranch, then build beecher's hope... as soon as i took over as john, i figured that it would set up up to shortly before the events of the first game... however, as cool as it will be to play as john, i really want to go back and do more exploring with arthur, so i might just start over... i rushed thru the story before the internet would spoil it, so i didn't do a lot of stuff like hunting and fishing, bounty hunting, crafting, etc... it would feel empty doing it as john... or maybe it won't i dunno lol... i liked arthur...

Same story for me as with bones, tore through the story (which was fucking stupendous) immediately missed Arthur, and as nice as it is to be back in john's boots i think i Arthur seemed more real. In think the epilogue reminded me too much of a mod. 

[ViceMan 1380]

I didn't exactly rush through the story, I spent a lot of chapter 2 and 3 hunting, looting and exploring. But Chapter 4 and beyond it felt less and less important keeping the camp in shape as it was all going down the pan anyway. As Arthur became more cynical towards Dutch's schemes I had him spend less time providing for the camp, less time messing around and just getting through missions. I had a similar mentality in that I wanted to get it over with so nothing could be spoiled for me but also just to see the outcome.
