like John more than Arthur but a main character switch is sort of weird thing to do regardless.

Not really weird considering they did the exact same thing in the first one, just less missions.

I was about to reply in the other thread that Abigail makes a comment about how he can't swim when they are in the boat together.

Yep same exact thing.

Ya I loaded up an old save to the original camp outside valentine and on that mission where Arthur and John go rustle sheep Arthur gives John a bunch of shite for not know how to swim either. That's when it clicked for me that's why John's stamina instantly drains when he hits the water. I assumed I had too much inventory or something

If you travel the world in the post-game John there are a lot of encounters with NPC's from the main storyline.

1. You can visit the widow up north (I'm assuming you did Arthur's missions with her, no idea what happens if you didn't)

2. If you go to the train station at Annesburgh you meet with the Indian Chief.

3. You can run into Tilly in Saint Denis.

there may be more, those are what I've found so far. I think they showed Pearson working in Rhodes in the credits so he may be there to interact with.

Some side missions start over if you haven't completed them.

The escaped prisoners Mr. Black and Mr. White, I was partially done with it with Arthur but not fully completed the whole chain. It started over from scratch with John.

I think everyone likely saw there is a collectible/trophy for visiting the graves of your fallen companions. There are 9 of them. You can almost certainly just look up the locations but I sorta want to find them all on my own, especially Arthur's.

But man they did a good job of hiding them or at the very least putting them in places you wouldn't first check. I assumed they would be in or around the camps you were at when they died but they almost all aren't from what I've seen. Same story with the graveyards in the cities they died.

Despite me making a concerted effort to look for them I've only found 2 and one was by complete accident, I stumbled across Mrs. Grimshaw's randomly and was like DAMN. It was close'ISH to camp where she died but not really.

I can confirm they don't show up as specially shaded in your Eagle Eye mode so it's useless for finding them. You also don't get a prompt to inspect them unless you are pretty damn right on top of them.

I can also confirm Micah is not one of the 9, he's just dead and unburied where he fell.

So who would be the 9?

Davey
Sean
Hosea
Lenny
Mrs. Grimshaw
Arthur

For sure those, but that's only 6.

Molly would likely be 7
Strauss is confirmed dead too, probably 8

There was a girl mentioned that died in the blackwater fallout at the same time Davey got shot, we never see her but she is mentioned multiple times, she could be 9 I guess?

I'll probably give up and just look it up but I'll find Arthur's come hell or high water. Based on the cutscene they show you of his grave I have a decent idea of hte general location but it's qutie large and hilly so it's hard to systematically search.

If they fully built Mexico it's probably a future dlc

Found the Braithwaite’s “lost” daughter. She’s in an outhouse that is locked with chains in a little wooded area south of the gazebo you meet Penelope at.

She is completely insane.

I didn’t really get it and haven’t really checked out any theories. I did see that based on your honor level a wolf or a buck will appear in those particular dreams.

I am so rich now! Lol in the post game I got on my horse and it was like you have 20k! I am gonna clear out a poker table
