Horses ?

[Stévann]

Two things,

Can we like in rdr 2 "level up" horses endurance for exemple ?

What is the best horse ?

Thanks ?

You get given the best horse in the game automatically in this version. It's called the "War Horse".

The War Horse was dlc that I think unbalances the game and makes the minigame surrounding breaking horses pointless (also the amount of work they put into horse breeds and how each region of the world has a unique horse). It also doesn't make any sense that John suddenly has it at the start of the game. Every playthrough I end up ditching it for this reason. The Hardcore mode at least doesn't spawn it for you by default.

RDR1 does let you level up horse bonding similar to RDR2 but it's a system that mostly happens automatically the more you ride a horse.

Aside from the War Horse the best horse that wasn't DLC was the American Standardbred. Which is only found in West Elizabeth so it requires completing most of the game to unlock.

Note this is only for the base game. Undead Nightmare is vastly different as it features many more horses as well as mythical horses you can find/break.

Yep. I agree. A lot of the fun in the game, before the war horse dlc, was upgrading your horses and also having to fight off attacking predator animals. Getting the war horse in the inventory at the start of the game = no deadly attacks from wolves, wild boars, cougars etc… that can kill you at any time. It makes it too easy and not as exciting and also kills the high risk / reward of continuing to get loot before going to town and selling off items or saving.

I’m hoping someone can mod the war horse out of the game completely. And it saddens me that people who play RDR will never know what the game was originally like before the war horse dlc dumbed it down.

The war horse is also the best looking horse in RDR1 as a bonus. Actually the only good looking horse in the game except War (the burning undead nightmare horse). Rdr2 at least had 3-4 good looking horses Dark Bay Turkoman, Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Foxtrotter, Blood Bay Thoroughbred and black or white Arabian if you can stand their miniature size and strange bent snouts.
