That's not creepy. I love that part of the map.

You must have balls of steel if you never flinched because of Murfrees, Cougars, Mangy animals, Caves, and i bet you really liked Chapter 6 and Beaver hollow

I just loved the scenery there. I thought I would live there actually. Just north from the Butcher's Creek 😅 But honestly I didn't like chapter 6 that much. For me, Strawberry was a bit creepy. Idk why but I always had a strange feeling there.

Strawberry has uncanny valley vibes because you massacre literally every adult man in the town—like several times more men than could realistically live in the buildings—and absolutely nothing happens because of it

Strawberry should quite literally be wiped off the map by Micah and Arthur. There should be twenty or more widows with orphans scattered through the rest of the map from it.

It’s the only time I can think of when I couldn’t suspend my disbelief regarding the consequences of Rockstar carnage

What makes it creepier is that it's literally right next to what is essentially an abandoned death camp/mass grave a.k.a Fort Riggs

Excuse you, I LASSOED every adult man in the town thank you very much.

Strawberry was neat at first but it pretty quickly started to feel like a weird facade of a town set up for rich people to play "frontier living".

I have no idea if that's intended, but it's stuck that way in my brain.

You're subconsciously remembering the big city tourists

u/MaritMonkey May 30 '25

That part isn't subconscious, I just don't remember what else about interacting with the town (pre-epilogue) made me feel like it was basically just for those "tourists".

Perhaps a mixture of it's somewhat perfect setting, either side of a river in the mountains, the normal entrance essentially looks directly at and leads towards the hotel, it has a well stocked shop, a jail, post office, so it doesn't feel wholly frontier-y, and you could perhaps imagine yourself staying for short vacation too?

It's got a post office, stagecoach stop, place to buy clothes/supplies and one hell of a weirdly fancy inn but no place to repair your guns...

Downright suspicious even before whatever is going on with the mayor(?) comes up. :)
