Indians?

[MarvelDCMayhem]

Is there any natives in this game and missions with them later on in the game? Without spoiling it to much. I just started chapter 3.

[n0mad23]

That's an affirmative, partner. (There's a fine horse to capture pretty close by when you finally get to that location, too.)

[Duderino]

And when you finally get to the reservation, the dynamite arrow pamphlet is hidden nearby ;)

[usermame360]

yup, there's quite a few missions with them

[½Pete]

Yes, but of course they're historically inaccurate and woke'ified.

In the place of the savage apache/commanche tribes that existed in real life, is instead a gang called the "skinners', who in the game, are a band of white people that live in teepees, and kidnap and torture settlers..... lmao

there are a few distinct tribes in the game and they have their own reservation in the mountains.

What are you, like 12, living in mommy's basement and scared of girls?

The only people using this new buzzword are insecure, white, male, and involuntarily celibate . . . amazing fragility.

[Carl Sagan]

Insecure white male that actually killed off the Natives and mostly still call them Indians like Columbus who ''discovered" Me-rica

It's a fact the skinners are modeled after the apache/commanches ,and that's why their location is so close to new austin (Texas). R* however simply could not portray indians in a bad light, and that's why there isn't a single bad Native npc in the story and why they disappear altogether after their chapter is over. Not only do all the native NPC's vanish, at no point is the player ever allowed to point their gun at one, or kill them..... yes, that is history revisionism and wokeism.

Educate yourself on the history of the Native American peoples and their tribes, please.

Comanche people are still around, dude. Of course they're not going to make them the boogiemen.

[Rusalka]

I'm also baffled as to 1/2brainPete things there are "no bad Native Americans" when, by the account of almost any white guy at the time, attacking the military AND burning the oil field and murdering tons of workers there very much would be considered bad.

There are people on this earth whose ancestors survived hideous violence like the Sand Creek Massacre. Do you really think they need to endure watching you simulate a massacre just so they can feel violated one last time? Grow up.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. This game takes place in 1897-1899, there were no tribes left that weren't living on reservations, and killing any native would have gotten you arrested by then.

The last hostile natives to surrender to the U.S. were Geronimo of the Bedonkohe band of the Ndendahe Apache,in 1886, and Sitting Bull of the Lakota Sioux in 1881, largely bringing the Great Sioux War of 1876 (the one that started with the annhilation of Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry) to an end, along with most of the free Sioux nation.

The skinners are based on southern white crackers, not native americans, and most of the bandits portrayed around New Austin are based of Mexican bandidos, not Apaches, but hey, don't let your 'anti-woke' racist agenda get in the way of facts . . .

Oh yea, as for facts . . . when Columbus arrived in North America in 1492, there were an estimated 5-15 million Natives living there. By the time this game takes place, 1897, there were fewer than 238,000 remaining . . . maybe THATS why the developers decided to not let you kill them.

I think my education regarding Native American history is just fine, thanks, but your fear of anything you label 'woke' is pathetic . . . grow up and stop acting like a terrified, clueless child.

I'm a professor in Texas history in Austin. You're a woke zoomer who's incapable of differentiating a video game from reality, : /

[Rusalka]

A professor of Texas history who spells Comanche incorrectly - TWICE? Yeah, sorry, I wasn't born yesterday, champ.

Did you see that conservative author struggling to define the term "woke"?

The problem is that it really doesn't MEAN anything, except for any progressive concept that you find uncomfortable.

It is just the latest in an endless line of "liberal boogeymen" that right-wing media foists upon their uncritical audience.
