The depth of backstory, history and connection between the games is unsurpassed. It’s incredible that all the dialogue is relevant to something in the game; even the NPC’s speech is meaningful.

[@theinfinitemike1490]

It hurts my heart that the current leadership at rockstar clearly hate this franchise

[@thisisnotachannel]

They hate it because it was the last project worked on by "those who left"... including the elder Houser brother.

[@pedinhuh16]

It is their Magnum Opus, once you know the meaning behind this, it all makes sense.

Makes me wish Rockstar would just sell this property to a different company that would actually give it the love it deserves.

I always loved the eerie quietness in Tumbleweed in RDR1. Loving the occasional out of tune music in this video; adds to the creepiness! 💜😁

[@User-cv2xn]

Wel i mainly love Tumbleweed for a fact that person can train their aim there without law assistence.

[@livewire2759]

I'm quite certain that sheriff Freeman is half the reason Tumbleweed was abandoned. After killing anyone he saw as breaking the law, the people complaining about how strict he was would have left town, the business owners would have left due to not being able to make any money, and finally the rest of the people had no reason to stay. Armadillo having the railroad just gave them somewhere to go.

[@geraltrivia6148]

Company towns, mining towns, and the like, popped up and died off all the time back then when folks rushed to a spot where they thought they could make money and then left when the work dried up. The railroad was easy to blame for the town's decline but whatever drew people to Tumbleweed in the first place just wasn't there anymore. To me, Sheriff Freeman seemed like a man who was desperately trying to hold on to his authority over a town that was rapidly becoming a ghost town. With his brutal justice approach, and lofty promises, he convinced people to stay who would otherwise have left for greener pastures. Those people then came to resent and fear him as the revival of the town never happened and he just got more and more desperate. That was my take any way; Tumbleweed was already dead; Freeman was King of the ashes.

[@livewire2759]

@@geraltrivia6148 That's an interesting take on it... "King of the ashes" is a good way to put it. What brought people to Tumbleweed is a mystery. Most towns are established near natural resources, Tumbleweed didn't even have a river nearby. Maybe it was the gold mine nearby, which was taken by the Del Lobos. Perhaps that's why people first started giving up on the town. There wasn't much else around for people to make money on. The way I see it is the Del Lobo gang was likely driving people away from Tumbleweed even before Armadillo got their branch of the railroad. Freeman was probably brought in from elsewhere, similar to how Wyatt Earp was hired in numerous Kansas towns to come in and clean things up. He did his job at first, running the Del Lobos out of town, then continuing to kill them every chance he got, but once John eradicated the gang almost entirely, Freeman turned his focus on the rest of the town's citizens. A man with power always wants to exercise his power. You can already see him doing this if you listen to the speeches he gives, not just telling people to behave, but commanding it, demanding it, and threatening them with brutality if they don't obey. People don't like to be ruled by an iron fist, so if there's another choice, they'll take it. With the gold mine dried up, and after Armadillo recovered from the cholera outbreak, it was clear to the people of Tumbleweed that Armadillo was the place to go. The railroad was just a bonus.

[@Quickscop3r4u]

The devil has gotten into that beast can be referring to freeman being the beast and power being the devil

[@livewire2759]

@@Quickscop3r4u That's exactly what it means. Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Freeman was absolutely corrupt.

[@Nicola_Bailey]

The sheriff's office is riddled with bullet holes so obviously something went down there. I do enjoy charging through the town, lassoing Freeman as I gallop passed, and drag him unceremoniously out of town screaming and hollering. The funniest thing is that nobody in the town cares, the deputies just stand there quietly and watch. I don't even end up wanted or with a bounty 🤣

[@joseeeeee8508]

i do end up wanted when i shot him, strange. he was the final vicitm of my "duel every sheriff in the map" tour

You are absolutely the best at RDR2 secrets videos. I had started playing the game for the first time ever about 1 month ago, and I eventually stumbled across your videos while looking for more world lore content. Your presentation style is perfect, and you give such great detail to make the world even more immersive and amazing. Great job!

[@SultanSamet]

Be blessed Strange Man. It's crazy how much detail this game has. Thx for collecting it.

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

Crazy. I just started RDR2 over because I didn’t have the heart to finish it. I refuse to accept that the game has to end.

[@shahzainalisyed81]

its one of my favorite town in the game. its just peaceful, i love how the town is organized and has a small size but nearly all the facilities available. Plus, the people are very calm and friendly. 🤠

[@squirec1]

Thanks for going out of your way to make these videos, they're so well made and executed.

[@Symphonicrockfran]

GOAT video. I've never payed attention to those Tumbleweed secrets!

[@ichangedmyusernamebecausei2551]

Sheriff Freeman had balls though and wasn’t scared of the Del Lobos. Even though he was way too hard on the townspeople. Unlike the sheriff from Valentine who practically sold the town to the O’Driscols. Freeman made good points and tried to keep his dry town clean. Also I’m more convinced that the Del Lobos shot up Tumbleweed as revenge since the Sheriff didn’t cooperate or get bribed by them. Thats why the survivors abandoned the town and it’s now used by bandits. Even though the town didn’t make much business, it still would be a good place for travelers to stop and rest at. I get financial struggles could make people leave town and start a new life somewhere else. But I just like the idea of the del lobos being forced to come together just to take down a small town that stood up to them.

[@johnsybob9694]

Blows my mind that you're still finding this stuff after all this time. Thank you so much for all the effort and time you've put in to keep us entertained!

I like the idea of "the devil has got into that beast" having something to do with freeman, ive played rdr2 a few times and i get the feeling hes supposed to be unstable, i think he had more to do with tumbleweed becoming a ghost town than the railroad.

[@AlexGTAgamer]

I recall seeing the “Closed due to incident” note on the sheriff’s office the first time I arrived in Tumbleweed, but never spotted the bullet holes. I guess it could be speculated that the Del Lobo’s shot the office up, in the same way they did to the sheriff’s office in Armadillo.

[@TrexAintaChicken]

8:00 the audio file does NOT imply we were intended to kill Frank Heck ourselves in the saloon. It is a line the saloon owner says in game, unprompted, and related to other references in game that state Frank Heck was killed- prior to the events of the game- in Tumbleweed.

[@johnnygizmo4733]

Last night I was about to play chapter 4 mission where we go after Bronte. When Dutch and the gang met up, early morning I sat on horse on road and fired one sniper round at Bill and then immediately took out binoculars to look. Then Dutch stood next to Bill for a few seconds then they all ran away. They all came walking out and got on their horses. We all rode together all the way back to Shady Belle. A few things happened on the way back. Dutch was pissed. I stayed at camp and didn't go sleep so Ditch and gang had to wait to reposition. I recieved some different dialogue and a few creepy glitches. Needless to say, it was a good game day.

[@superwinkta4682]

I thought there was also something about Tumbleweeds downfall being due to retaliaton by the Del Lobo gang? Also also, the "Beast in him" church writing is an easter egg of a spooky face you can see at night-time near the pulpit

I get why they put the railroad not going through to armadillo in the story since that was basically how ghost towns became ghost towns then but how the map is constructed come on they could have haha
