Fox Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'm liking Geronimo's chances in this challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenaryblade Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The Apache were known for being excellent horsemen, Geronimo has this one in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Marston is an accomplished rider in his own right, and taming horses is a part of the game. This is someone with a lot of experience in this challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSkillz Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Something was telling me Geronimo would make an interesting pick.

Thing is, the Apache were literally born and bred around horses for centuries, and Geronimo was just about the ultimate Apache leader. He should comfortably take this.

Agreed, their culture revolved around the horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peypeypeypey Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Marston has some experience with this, but he should be bodied pretty hard to be honest. Both Marston and Arthur Morgan are strong generalists in the West, but if they go up against someone's expertise (other than shooting), they're probably not gonna win.

Bergy_Berg Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I know nothing of Geronimo specifically taming a wild horse, only that he was Apache and they were good with horses. Geronimo himself died after being thrown from his horse, so that kind of feels like a knock against him. Meanwhile Marston explicitly tames a variety of wild horses, and also spent nearly his whole life around the animal. Horses were also extremely important on the American frontier.

Dude, Geronimo himself spent his entire 79 + years of living around horses (including stealing horses from other tribes and American settlers), so he not only also had experience around a wide variety of horses himself, but he was around them for a lot longer than Marston. Geronimo only died at age 79 after being left out in the cold for a day after being thrown off of said horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Marston also lassos and break in a wild horse in like a minute, a lot faster than any real world counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's likely a game mechanic. If you were to include things like that and Dead Eye or Dead Shot or whatever that mechanic is called, he would be superhuman for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no. I think you're referring to what Marston can do in-game, and if we allowed that, it would likely put his abilities beyond the bounds of this slot.
