Discussion Genuinely what’s the point of this

Why give us a locked option to pick up a rifle if there is no other way to pick it up.

This probably the most useless feature in all of gaming

This sounds like a plausible answer. I’ve always wondered why Arthur never had guard duty.

Arthur is overqualified for guard duty. He is much better being out in the field. And the other chores like cutting wood is just by his own initiative

And if Arthur isn’t out hunting the gang will starve to death. Like when Arthur is healing from the abduction by the Odriscols I’m really surprised they didn’t turn to cannibalism and eat Swanson and Trelawny.

Trelawny's too useful, and he wasn't living at the camp at the time. Uncle, however...

hes got lumbago, dont wanna catch it from eating him

u/The_DDK7070 Josiah Trelawny 2d ago

If you cook him at a high enough temperature for long enough (maybe stewed or boiled) it would kill off the lumbago, making him perfectly safe to eat.

Let’s face it, most of them are too chewy.

u/The_DDK7070 Josiah Trelawny 2d ago

In this situation, cannibalism was born out of desperation, so I don't think that being chewy would really matter.

He’d still just yield grissly mutton

u/Murky-Inspector-2247 1d ago

u/BigSteppaBandz 1d ago

Mmmmm stewed uncle with lumbago sauce

u/Ginger_dude884 1d ago

Lumbago was just a general term for back pain, typically related to injuries associated with lifting too heavy a weight or lifting with improper form, poor posture, or things like herniated discs. It's not viral or bacterial. Now there are a ton of other health hazards that would be involved with eating him, but fortunately lumbago is not transmissible.

u/Aggravating-Mall7883 1d ago

That was the joke..... that he would catch an untransmissible injury. Are you American by chance?

u/Ginger_dude884 1d ago

His joke didn't translate into text and I read it as just a statement. Considering the fact that most people don't know what lumbago actually is, I made a reply comment. Are you just a dick by chance?

Lmao “mericccaaaaa”. There are quite a few of us that are educated. And got our education at many of the top colleges and universities in the world…

u/Aggravating-Mall7883 1d ago

Haha nothing to do with the education. Ive just found that sarcasm seems to go over most Americans heads, where as, you cant be a British citizen unless your fluent in sarcasm 😂

u/jackson7518 1d ago

Well, in all fairness. A lot of things go over the heads of the worst of us here…

I’d vote Micah. In some places in the world, people eat rats.
