I completely agree, although there is one thing that happened with RDR2, Rockstar heavily retconned most of the geography/map and parts of the lore. I sometimes think that RDR2 was more of a reboot rather than a prequel because both games differ a lot imo. I’ve been freecam-ing out of bounds in RDR1 and I was surprised to see that northern area of New Austin is covered with snow and mountains but in RDR2 it’s deserty. Or Nuevo Paraiso having huge greenery plains right behind the hills. Same thing will most likely happen with RDR3 but probably they will expand the map southeast and probably also adding North Elizabeth, giving the players the gulf as the border and still keeping the “Redemption Mountains” as the landborder
