This is how I imagine buying property will be like in rdo.
TO NOTE: the properties are not acquired threw a role, (Rancher, property owner etc) but rather as it’s on shop that almost every city has.
STEP 1
Go to the Lumber salesman’s, Strawberry, Valentine, Rhodes, Saint Denis, Blackwater, and Armadillo each have the same guy (Albert from Epilogue), and there will be a cutscene to introduce you to the sale of properties.
STEP 2
After the cutscene, a handheld catalogue will be available near the salesman, and you can purchase a variety of homes, they are divided by category based on State. These homes will be located on a map, and there is about 20-30 properties in total. They range from 500$ - 1500$
STEP 3
Once you buy the home, you cannot customize its dimensions, but you can customize its colours and window styles. Your dog can also be in your house if you have bought one. The houses will be on selected flat plots of land.
Inside the house, you have a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, bathroom, a supply room, and maybe more. There is also a fence to tie your horse to outside. There is a garage, where you can do chores like at the gang’s camp in the story. In the kitchen, you can craft, cook with a fire, and make meals, the bathroom lets you shave, wash your face, the bedroom has a wardrobe, and an expansion can be added to have a fast travel option the supply room lets you store and manage your crops, animals from your expansions, the living room lets you sit down on the sofas and chairs, and consult your maps, letters, etc, as well, there is a box of beer like at your camp. The garage lets you have a second outpost for your trader role, if you have one, but also lets your perform chores. (Cleaning, chopping wood, feeding the dog,)
STEP 4
To add expansions to your property, you can return to Albert the salesman to buy:
-ranch expansion, (15 gold) where you can perform the tasks of Epilogue John at Beecher’s hope, and there will be 4 enclosures with chickens, cows, sheep, and pigs? additional tasks like killing animals for meat, sheering sheep, milking cows can be performed to sell goods to nearby towns by delivery like the trader role. To get these goods, you must do the tasks mentioned.
- Farm expansion. (15 gold) This expansion, instead of having enclosures with animals, you have plots to grow carrots, beets, potatoes, and other fruits. Tasks like watering your seeds and cultivating your crops will be acquired. The prices of your crops will be much higher then the price of those in general stores cause they are fresh. The delivery system to deliver your crops to nearby towns is the same as the trader role.
-Themes and furniture You can upgrade the theme of your house, ex. Hunter, urban living, hobo, etc to make you feel more in your style. You can upgrade the limited furniture in your house to different themes, varieties, to suit your home better. Pictures like in the moonshine bar can be bought and hung on the wall of your choice. Again, this is purchased at the salesman.
TO NOTE: there is also a mail box where you can receive the same mail you get at the post office etc.
Sorry for taking much of your time what do you think?
