1. On The Prowl for Posse
One of the great features of Red Dead Redemptions online multiplayer was the ability to group up with your friends and form a posse to take on your competitors. This was recreated in the single player from time to time whenever Marston was called into action by a group of his allies. Itd be really nice to see this concept expanded in Red Dead Redemption 2s single player by including a sort of posse roster; a list of the characters youve met on your travels which displays your standing with them and should it be high enough, gives you the option to call them to fight with you whenever you please. You could have a limit of say four characters in a posse, who grow more deadly the more you run with them; maybe theres even a levelling system where you can spend accumulated posse points to increase your favourite characters abilities to full things fulla lead. There could even be a whole Posse Standing mechanic, in which your choice of activities and reactions to events affects the honour and fame levels of the entire group, not just the central character. That then leads me to imagine that these friends can interact with each other too and not only do you have to worry about how much they like you youve also got to manage how much they like each other. You could be given the option to intervene in their arguments and attempt to reason for compromise, join in their revelry or console them in their sorrows. Their level of kinship toward each other could then affect their cohesion as a team. Itd be a whole other way to immerse yourself in the world, while remaining totally in line with the Red Dead weve come to know and love. Of course we're all just going to have to hold our horses. With no official announcement as yet, we don't actually know anything solid about the who's, the why's and the wherefore's but with Rockstar's recent hint on the future of the franchise are we naive to believe it's coming soon? We hope not.
