So You Wanna Be a New Austin Outlaw with Arthur? Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Bumpy Ride...
Ah, New Austin. The land of scorching sun, tumbleweeds, and folks who wouldn't bat an eye at a good ol' fashioned bank heist (except maybe the lawmen, but hey, details). Naturally, you, a curious cowboy with a penchant for adventure (and maybe a slight criminal streak) as Arthur Morgan, want to explore this dusty paradise. But hold your horses there, partner! There's a bigger tumbleweed in your path than you might think.

Why Can't Arthur Just Saddle Up and Head South? Spoiler Alert: It Ain't the Rattlesnakes!
Here's the thing: the game developers, bless their heartland-lovin' souls, put an invisible sniper on the border. Try to cross over, and BAM! You'll be decorating the New Austin landscape faster than you can say "Dutch's Plan." Now, some folks reckon it's because Arthur has some bad memories tied to Blackwater, a town nestled snugly in New Austin. Maybe the devs figured our boah just couldn't handle the emotional baggage. Or perhaps they wanted to keep certain areas exclusive to John Marston's story in the epilogue (don't worry, we won't spoil anything there... unless you really want us to).
The important bit: Unless you're some kind of digital Houdini, sneaking past that sniper ain't happening for Arthur the normal way.
But Wait! There's a Glitch in the Matrix (or the Game Code, Rather)
The Wild West wouldn't be wild without a few good ol' fashioned glitches, would it? There are some methods out there that exploit wonky bits of code, allowing you to explore New Austin as Arthur. We won't detail them here, partner, because some can mess with your game save. But if you're feeling adventurous (and comfortable tinkering), a quick web search for "Red Dead Redemption 2 New Austin Arthur Glitch" should point you in the right direction. Just remember, glitch at your own peril!
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Now, the fun part: Imagine Arthur, all gruff and grizzled, strolling into a New Austin saloon. The tumbleweeds would stop rolling, tumbleweeds!
So, Can Arthur Really Be a New Austin Outlaw?
Well, not exactly by the books. But hey, the Wild West wasn't exactly known for following all the rules. If you're okay with a little digital trickery, then sure, Arthur can explore the forbidden land. Just be prepared for some unexpected consequences (or a crash to the desktop, depending on your chosen method).
But honestly, the story unfolds best by following the intended path. John Marston gets his turn in New Austin later, and trust us, it's a doozy.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
