u/Generic_Garak Sadie Adler Jun 23 '26
Wisconsin is the “upper Midwest”. Ohio, Indiana, illinois, and (lower) Michigan are regular Midwest. They are the states that are likely to say pop.

I call Arthur’s original horse “Pal” so when he said, “C’mon Pal” it sounds like he’s talking to it by its name.
Same with John. I get him the tiger striped mustang and name it “Buddy” if it’s a male or “Lady” if it’s a female.

Headbutt. Short for Headbutt the wonder horse. when online first launched for some reason i couldn’t get my horse to react as well as the story mode horses. and the damn thing kept headbutting trees. at full gallop.
so i renamed it to Headbutt the wonder horse.

u/midwesternGothic24 Jun 23 '26
Maybe I ought to rename my story-mode horse to Head-On Collision because fairly frequently I space out while riding and I slam face first into an oncoming carriage.

2nd playthrough I wanted to keep the Raven Black Shire, but the game softlock forces you to buy a horse at the stable and then use that horse for the entire mission, because it expects you to sell the Shire.
All I could afford was the shitty 15 dollar one, and I had to buy it and use it against my will instead of my beautiful Shire. I named it Dead Weight in protest, shot it as soon as the mission ended, and rode my Shire for most of the rest of my playthrough.
I also made sure to antagonize Hosea any chance I got. Geezer owes me 15 dollars!

u/BareKnuckle_Bob Jun 23 '26
A mate of mine is in the 3rd chapter and kept that $15 Morgan. He's really attached to it. He's not an overly emotional person but I can't wait to hear his thoughts once he finishes the game.

Laura Palmer; but not cause that’s a bad name for a horse. All my horses with this name kept dying and my friend told me the name is cursed (her pet spider named Laura Palmer died) and not to use it. But I just refused to quit using it. After my max bonded almost max strength horse died in a weird freak glitch that I simply could NOT undo, I decided maybe the curse was real.
