So You Want to Be a Swashbucklin' Arthur in New Austin, Eh? Hold Your Horses (Literally)!
Ah, New Austin. The land of scorching deserts, tumbleweeds, and enough wanted posters to wallpaper a saloon. A land that beckons to explorers... and apparently, our boah Arthur Morgan with a serious case of wanderlust. But there's a slight snag in this rootin' tootin' adventure: Arthur ain't exactly welcome there.
Now, you might be thinkin', "Surely a fella as charming as Arthur could just sail on over in a rowboat, right?" Well, partner, that's where things get a little... interesting.
Can Arthur Go To New Austin By Boat |
The Great New Austin Sea Voyage: Myth or Marlin Belly Flop?
Let's be clear: Arthur and New Austin by boat is a recipe for disaster. Think Bermuda Triangle, but with a side of angry Pinkertons. Here's the lowdown:
The Unseen Hand of Fate (or Really Bad Coding): Venture too close to that New Austin border in a little dinghy, and your boat will develop a sudden and terminal case of the sinkies. No dramatic explosions, no thrilling sea battles, just Arthur taking an unexpected dive (probably with a confused trout staring up at him).
The Pinkertons Have Eyes Like a Hawk (Probably Because They Are Hawks): Even if your boat defies the laws of physics, there's a good chance you'll be met by a welcoming committee of not-so-friendly Pinkertons. These fellas are itching to put some lead in Arthur's hat, and trust me, that new hat you just bought in Saint Denis ain't gonna stop those bullets.
The Verdict: Unless you're planning on becoming a mermaid (which, let's face it, wouldn't be the worst fate for Arthur), New Austin by boat is a big no-no.

But Wait! There's More! (Slightly Less Disastrous Ways to Get There)
Now, if you're still set on getting Arthur to that dusty paradise, fear not! There are a few slightly less suicidal options:
The Chapter 4 Glitch Highway: This one involves some fancy footwork and a good knowledge of video game trickery. Look up some online guides, but be warned, it ain't exactly for the faint of heart (or those with epilepsy from flashing lights).
The Good Ol' Wait-Till-John Method: This might not be the most exciting option, but patience is a virtue, right? Just stick with the story, and eventually you'll be free to roam New Austin as John Marston.
Remember, partners, there's a whole lotta world to explore outside of New Austin. Besides, who needs tumbleweeds when you've got grizzly bears and bounty hunters to keep things interesting?
