How Historically Accurate is Red Dead Redemption 2?

[@xdguy2569]

16:58 "Of course tuberculosis is not the only disease that impacted the Old West..." *LUMBAGO*

[@Nuegen]

Ok, I just want to point out... Lumbago is an actual thing. It means lower back damage. Someone like Uncle, (and if you know much about the Red Dead history, you know that Uncle is far more than a lazy old guy,) who spent most their life on a horse and the jarring that happens due to its gate may damage the lower spine... causing something that back then was best explained by LUMBAGO. I know its funny and a fun meme but its a real thing, just like TB and Cholera. Uncles complaint about his Lumbago, even though Arthur didn't want to believe it, may have been a debilitating pain for him.

[@GeorgHaeder]

Lumbago, Measles, Small pox, Typhoid, Malaria (last major US epidemic outbreak 1905 in New Orleans), the San Francisco Plague of 1900-1904 which was part of the third global plague pandemic. There were quite many diseases impacting the Old West.

[@niyiu3547]

The singleplayer of RDR2 is a masterpiece. After Arthur got his diagnosis and walked around aimlessly in the city, it became increasingly more difficult for me to play through the whole game, just by seeing Athur suffer, seeing the gang break apart, seeing Dutch become more and more insane and seeing Arthur struggle to make peace with himself and others he betrayed, before the end. The characters are so well written. I loved Dutch in the beginning, but hated his guts in the end. Very very impressive writing by Rockstar. Easily one of the best stories, I've ever played through.

Wow! I can tell that you've captured the experiences of the Old West, especially tuberculosis and cholera perfectly (although I have to admit that making quick kills of wild animals does not cause a drop in honor [except parakeets], while wounding an animal and making it suffer does). Also, you made a mention of Eirik Gumeny's personal experiences of having a terminal disease and sharing them with Arthur Morgan's (especially with Javier Escuella telling him, "You just worry about that cough", and Dr. Barnes telling Arthur to find somewhere warm and dry and rest). Nice. You also mentioned that those with TB could spend their final moments in isolation, just like Arthur does if he has high honor in either ending (go with John Marston or go for the loot). So heartbreaking. And I should like to inform you that despite being on its last legs, the town of Armadillo would eventually survive to be a thriving town in RDR1. Also, you mentioned Dorothea Wicklow. She was the subject of what happened in November 2018 when Shirrako's KZbin channel was temporarily suspended for posting a video of the protagonist killing Wicklow in different ways... but let's not go there.

The problem is, pallets didn't come into existence until later. Pallets are designed to be used with forklifts and pallet jacks, neither of which had been invented at the time of the game.

Ethnicity wise a lot of areas are pretty accurate although New Austin could have had more black people to reflect the many African American cowboys and homesteaders that went west and populated towns. Although that there’s black people and Mexican people at all in New Austin and West Elizabeth urban areas is a nice nod reflecting the actual populations of areas out west. West Elizabeth is a bit anachronistic though as its region is based on areas more northwards where Mexicans were present but not as populated like the more west and southwest former Mexican states.

these videos are amazing, keep em coming!

[@oscarlloyd3730]

also this might be a stretch, but a video on manhunt, (another Rockstar game) and comparison to real crimes of that nature, would be really interesting

[@BIGwillTHEGAME]

Yeah I forgot I watched the other videos i found this while searching for some Red Dead Redemption 2 content.

God you deserve more subs, this is so engaging and informational.

[@ezclapgaming1858]

The positive side at least the tuberculosis is a rare disease present

[@StacieMMeier]

Because they can treat it and understand it. Cholera was same, they simply didn't know that they were getting it from the water supply. When it was discovered how people got it, water systems and sewers were redesigned for such.

This video is wonderful, entertaining and informative. You could not have done a better job.

[@williamsalters156]

Very cool, thanks guy

[@dirsejs]

dude, ive been binging all of your videos, every single one of them is a fucking masterpiece, how to you achieve such a consistently high level of quality in your videos, i dont know, but please keep it up!

[@sadieadler3065]

Very well done and researched! Subbed :)

[@sionmarak1916]

Mad effort put into this. I'll be watching you as you grow. You've earned my sub and respect.

[@DiegoMoreno-yb6fj]

wow. its incredible how rockstar captured all of this in only one game world, just fucking awesome

[@martinstoilov6671]

Amazing video with superb quality and editing! Keep it up!

[@eazy1095]

Damn bro you really made me watch the whole video without even moving take a bow!!

[@Rexxie44]

I'm not sure if it's in the video since I'm commenting before hand but I'll be shocked if you missed how the Carcano isn't accurate whatsoever. The Carcano we see in game is the 1938 model, and this has been a issue since the previous game as well, weirdly enough. Edit: This is a pretty excellent video, I don't think I knew that the gang was loosely based on a irl one either. Pretty cool overlaps you show as well.

[@gabriell5164]

Well, time to play the whole game again

[@WhopyStompy]

Really good video my dude. Going through my second play through of the RDR2 and I'm taking my time and enjoying it as much as possible. Amazing how much I missed the first time around. Your added context of the historical accuracy helps me appreciate this world that Rockstar built a lot more. By far, one of my favorite games of this last generation.

This is absolutely amazing! I was thinking about writing my dissertation topic on anti capitalist themes in video games (red dead showing the american west and decline of cowboys) and this showed me that it's possible to find relevant primary sources. Such a good video man x

[@RealPixels]

If you decide to go ahead with that idea, please keep me updated! I’d love to read something like that. 😊

[@stanstanstan2597]

Capitalism isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It simply requires work on your end.

[@user-de2hl7sb7v]

This deserves so many more views.
