Can you play Roleplay with the standalone version?

[Druid]

Like RedM.

[IDwLoD]

roleplay in what way?
but short info i can give:
RDR2 = singleplayer + online in 1 package,
RDO = online only,

but if your question is concerning FiveM roleplay servers.
i'm not 100% sure,
but i guess yes,
because both RDR2 and RDO share the same files.
with rdo alone you're just locked out of singleplayer untill that is purchased.

Roleplay as in RedM servers

[IDwLoD]

i don't know the state of five/redm with rdo,
i'm not into roleplaying at all,

but yeah as far as i know:
rdr2 and rdo both have the same files you would have to install.
singleplayer is just locked untill you buy it.

i could be wrong ofcourse.

I mean, you can use the voice chat to roleplay.

Unfortunately, so few players use mics that you’ll mostly be talking to yourself. :(

Text chat would improve in-game communication between players, but Rockstar decided not to add it. :/

Is there something ‘roleplay-specific’ you were looking for in the standalone version? I’m not sure I understand your question.

You certainly can RP in any game really.

Role playing in an online game with others that are NOT role playing might be weird.

Role playing with a group of RPer's online in a game mixed with non role play AND cheaters might break your immersion if you are hard core role play.

Ain't nobody stopping you from pretending you are actually a cowperson in a old west setting.

I have run into hard core core role play folks while playing other games...like elderscrolls online, old ddo, them kinda games. I bet you can find RP in elite dangerous' space game as well.

Have fun storming the castle...or rather, ranch in this case!

he's talking about the actual player run servers.
like gta5's FiveM,
but for rdr2, RedM apparently.

[Shady Allie]

I imagine then, if you want to role play in a redm server you would need to go there and learn what and where and all that stuff to set it up.

research redm over at redm places.

Eh, I don't know how I feel about private servers. Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather support the official game.

[Frecklegek]

The official game doesn't have RP servers though, just game servers. I don't even know why ... Rockstar must know how popular GTA-RP is. But since you need the game client to do RP, what harm does it really do? I don't participate but I enjoy watching it on twitch from time to time.

Old fashioned huh? Remember 30 years ago? The craze for old folks collecting civil war miniatures and roleplaying with them? Everyone mocked them but look at gamers now. RP is no longer for introverted sissies! LOL.

100%. They'd make a killing (not that they don't already) off paid servers. Here and on GTA.

What!? Ummm. . . Only big dorks would collect miniatures and ummm roleplay with them. YUP! I'm definitely WAY too cool for that. . . *inconspicuous whistling*

lol, but in all seriousness, I do wish there were more roleplaying online, or just more socializing in general. it's depressing how deafeningly silent RDO is for an online world. :(

I still think adding proximity text chat would go a long way towards getting more players to start conversing. Currently, the wild west seems to be filled with mimes. o_O

Hell yeah we're MEN! I wouldn't be caught dead spending a few hundred dollars on Warhammer 40k minis, paint them in my basement..*cries in dust covered Eldar army
