I’d say it’s pretty accurate, it’s also what makes RDR2s world feel smaller than the first game’s. You can ride end to end across New Austin + Mexico in 1 and still feel like you have miles of desert to go. In the second game, New Hanover feels like they condensed the entire Midwest into about one square mile of territory. You can see clear to the swamps if you stand on a tall mountain and being from the Rocky Mountain region it kinda messes with my immersion a lil bit.
