To my surprise, you’re actually able to move the camera around during the final standoff, despite how it plays out like a cutscene. Also, if anyone would like to see a post for a few of the photos I took in New Austin after I finished the game, let me know.
PS - I noticed that in the standoff, Dutch never actually aims at John. He’s aiming in John’s direction but at the ground.
PSS - While looking around in New Austin afterwards, I found that the sheriff of Armadillo when you first arrive in town is also the same npc who captures the Del Lobo that Sheriff Freeman shoots upon first entering Tumbleweed. I’m not sure if they’re meant to be the same character, but it’s definitely the same character model all the way down to the sheriff’s badge.
PSSS - I finally got to take a close look at the badge on Sheriff Freeman’s desk. It says “Junior Deputy”, which leads me to believe that at one point, Rockstar may have intended for us to be able to serve as a lawman in a town. The badge just stands out so much on the desk, it really feels like something we should be able to pick up. Even if it’s just superficial and adds little to no extra elements to the game, it still would have been really cool to go around wearing the badge of an official Tumbleweed deputy.
