In , the Wanted system felt much more extreme compared to the first game, and this is something that should be fixed in the third game. There were two very different Wanted systems in the first two games, which created different experiences and both were a little too unbalanced.
However, the next game has the chance to create a much more realistic system if they dial it back a little. The honor system in and the Wanted system were fairly well linked together.
This is partially because if recognized as doing something dishonorable, Arthur’s honor will go down. This means that the more extreme Wanted system could also make it harder to keep honor high if Arthur gets caught.
For a game set in the Wild West, this is a bit of a misdirection. Compared to the first game, the Wanted System in was much more aggressive. Lawmen could see right through the mask, and witnesses were available for nearly every crime, even in the middle of nowhere.
Train robberies also felt unfair, as no matter what the lawmen knew exactly where Arthur had struck, whether or not that was true.
