I would say Valentine because it has all the essentials in one town General Store Saloon Barber Shop Gunsmith Stables Doctors Office Hotel Butcher and isn't packed like St..Denis and has plenty a free range outside the town to go hunt in the heartlands/cumberland foresf and then make a fast trip back
@NateTheGr9 Exactly I hunt a lot as Arthur and John I even went as far as making my own version of the Expert Hunter outfit from RDR in Both RDR2 and RDO because that's all I'd do on the first one as John/Jack wear that and hunt like crazy as a Frontiersman
Everyone who selected Valetine appears not to understand how it would smell on a daily basis.
As usual, I chose Blackwater because it's a decent representation of a settlement that's not entirely modern but at least has plenty of modern aspects.
I feel like smell is something that very rarely gets taken into consideration because people rarely life is like that today so people may take ambient scent for granted and therefore not consider it. Even back then, Valentine would prolly smell like straight horse shit, but your brain learns to adjust and ignore that shit like it’s totally fine lol
