> When you get arrested in the game for let's say murder you only stay for a bit and lose some money
The player probably would hang, but they are always rescued before this can happen, which is why they don’t. However, you are right about this for RDR 1.
From a gameplay perspective, it would enhance realism but would ultimately be a cutscene available to watch before a “DEAD” screen. Some players might like this, while others may find it annoying. Given that the protagonist’s release is justified by a rescue attempt, I think the current system is fine; for RDR 1, though, I can see that it’s unrealistic and might bug some players, but I don’t really mind it.
