John Marston and the Forbidden Zone: A New Austin Odyssey (or How Not to Get Perforated with Lead)
Howdy, partners! Ever looked at that tantalizing chunk of map on the southern border and thought, "Man, I bet there's some legendary loot down there!" Well, you ain't wrong. The land of New Austin is chock-full of rattlesnakes, tumbleweeds, and legendary creatures just waitin' to be wrangled (or shot, depending on your temperament). But here's the rub: Getting there as John Marston ain't exactly a Sunday stroll through the meadows.
Can You Go To New Austin As John |
Hold Your Horses, Cowboy! Why Can't John Just Saddle Up?
Turns out, New Austin has a bit of a "you-shall-not-pass" vibe going on for our favorite gunslinger. Why? Well, let's just say John done messed up a tad back in Blackwater. The law's itchier than a prairie dog in a wool sweater down there, and they'd love nothin' more than to turn John into a permanent resident of Boot Hill.
Creative Exploration: Sneaking into New Austin Like a Shady Snake
Fear not, adventurous soul! There are ways, although not exactly sanctioned , to unofficially visit New Austin. Here's a word to the wise: These methods ain't exactly foolproof, and they might involve a generous helping of lead flying your way.
- The High Noon Hustle: This one's a classic. Sprint like a spooked jackrabbit across the border at high noon when the lawmen are probably napping off their lunch of beans and questionable stew. This is a gamble, and the chances of success are about as high as a snake's belly.
- The Saint Denis Sneak-a-roo: Follow the train tracks quietly out of Saint Denis towards New Austin. Just be prepared to dodge some Pinkertons who might be itching for a target practice session.
- The "I Didn't See Nothin'" Approach: This one involves some strategic napping. Find a nice, secluded spot just outside New Austin and then **pass the time until nightfall. Once the sun dips below the horizon, make a mad dash for the border under the cloak of darkness. Just remember, night vision wasn't exactly a thing back then, so it ain't a foolproof plan.
**Important Note: These methods may involve getting shot a lot. If you're averse to looking like a human pincushion, it might be best to hold off on your New Austin adventure until a bit later in the story.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
So When CAN John Officially Visit New Austin?
Ah, now we're talkin'! The good news is, you won't be a wanted man in New Austin forever. Keep on truckin' through the story, and eventually, those pesky "Wanted" posters will magically disappear. Then, you can mosey on down there with nary a worry (except for the rattlesnakes and legendary beasts, of course).
