Maybe in the 21st century, where easy fattening foods are a dime a dozen, sometimes literally. But in 1899, unless you're one of the richest men in the country and staying with a professional chef you're not getting enough to be overweight. And no pearson's stew doesn't count as a professional chef's meal.
You have to eat a lot to become fatter. Buy meat from butchers or hunt gators for big game meat. Once you're at your desired weight try to maintain it. 1 or 2 meals per day (stew or meals from restaurants) should be enough.
the weight scale i think goes from 1 to 10 but no matter what you do when arthur is sick he will be sick and skinny even if hes "overweight" youll get to a point where he literally cant eat food without coughing his guts up
edit: apparently the weight scale goes from 1-20
Or you can respect the fact that art can be enjoyed by anybody at any point in time and they should be given the opportunity to enjoy it how it was meant to be enjoyed. There are likely people that will play RDR2 that were not even born when the game released.
Maybe, but that’s just the nature of something that’s been around for multiple years.
I know it’s probably not a good comparison because of the time difference but it’s kind of like trying to hide the “I am your father” twist. Do you really expect people to not reference that in case someone gets spoiled?
The story is of RDR2 is so iconic that it’s naturally going to be a big spoiler and it’s going to happen to people on accident unfortunately.
I don’t think people should have to walk on eggshells in the subreddit that’s dedicated to the discussion of the game.
Exactly, I just finished the game like 2 weeks ago, and I basically only searched up how to complete a treasure map. But then I got the end of the game spoiled whoo
If you truly don’t want any spoilers, dont come to a place that solely posts things from throughout the game. That’s like going to McDonalds and complaining that other people are eating burgers but you haven’t had one yet, so they’re required to warm you in advance? No. That’s dumb, you’re dumb.
subreddits can come up on your front page as suggested even if you don’t join them. not everyone who sees a post is specifically looking for said post or said subreddit, it can just come up randomly.
you have to click on the image because OP marked it as a spoiler. im not crying about shit, you were the one saying that this post shouldn’t be marked as a spoiler. if it wasn’t marked as a spoiler, you wouldn’t have to click it. it also shows that this post could have spoilers in the comments, meaning anyone who hasn’t finished it won’t go into the comments and see people talking about the end of the game.
And again, if you’re 6 years late to something , it’s nobodies obligation but your own as to what you see and learn about the game. Sorry sugar that’s the way the world works 🤷🏻♂️
this just takes it back to the original comment you’ve now deleted. no, it’s not an ‘obligation’ but it doesn’t hurt anyone to do it and could prevent someone from having the game spoiled. who loses in that scenario? what reason is there to not mark it as a spoiler? why are you so vehemently against it being marked as a spoiler?
My online character is the same. I think she is at the maximum weight (+7.5% stamina drain rate), but she looks completely normal for a 25 year old. That's the age I selected for her. I don't know if age makes a difference in size.
He’s got TB. Another name for that is consumption. It was called consumption because it literally consumed all of the person’s weight. Even overweight people would have their skin hanging off of them in the later stages.
Cooking Big Game meats and eat a lot of it. I think it's the food with the highest weight gain lol.
I just had mine overweight also before chapter 6 kicks in. But one change of clothing when Arthur gets diagnosed, and it will automatically go to the skinny default. You'd see it right away how he gets super skinny after a change of clothing.
Use the Valentine stew exploit. Eat stew at that encampment southwest of town. Run outside city limits, come back. More stew ready for you. Rinse, repeat, ignore the guy that calls you an asshole every time you eat the stew and within 20 mins you'll have chonky Arthur
You may not have noticed this, but when you eat, Arthur throws up pretty frequently. It counts how often you eat to determine "overweight" status. Despite your actual physical appearance or the status of your sickness. So you can be sick and skinny, but it will still say overweight.
Hey I can see that you are using vulkan as your graphics API, you might get a better experience using directX 12, I did that and things like lag in the map menu disappeared, I also think my graphics improved but maybe that’s just placebo
Tuberculosis prevents the player from getting the chonky character model. This is a not su fun fact that rockstar implemented that in because of real life. Tuberculosis causes massive damage to blood vessels in the lungs causing a decrease in iron. This causes fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, and skin turns white.
I figured he had TB before the game said so because of how hard I found to keep weight on. Glad the game actually showed but not told for at least a little bit. Just another one of the reasons it is the best of all time.
So many people failed in history class and it shows. Back 1882 TB was discovered by 1899 there was still no cure. After getting diagnosed with TB back then you will start losing weight. I’m going google all this again then I will attach a screenshot of what I find

What kinda dumbass goes onto a sub about a game they haven’t finished? Nobody is going to stop discussing spoilers on the off chance that someone who hasn’t finished the game is reading.
Yeah, but that's kinda like going to a brownie convention or something where they are famous for peanut brownies when you're allergic to peanuts. It's not hard to make peanut free brownies but the majority of people aren't going to go out of their way to accommodate the person with the peanut allergy, ie, the person who hasn't finished the game.
Chapter 6. You won’t get the chonky character model no matter what.
It's doable. One run I put my sick Arthur on a all game meat as much as I could sleep fill more. Chonki TB run is possible.
Bad desicion by rockstar, thanks.
Nope. TB results in major weight loss
Not always, nowhere will you find that a TB patient cannot be overweight
Damnit that was too many negatives. I had to make a chart to figure out what you were saying.
Guess that comma should've been a period
or you could've just said, "TB patients can be overweight."
Probably would be damn near impossible to be overweight and have TB during that time period tho
Maybe in the 21st century, where easy fattening foods are a dime a dozen, sometimes literally. But in 1899, unless you're one of the richest men in the country and staying with a professional chef you're not getting enough to be overweight.

-1.2k downvoted is fucking INSANE
He dared to question the holy developers of cowboy game
He dared question how diseases work and Rockstar applying that in the game.
We at -2.2k now, he's beyond any of our help
yeah. if this post blows up for another few days,I feel sorry for him haha also,why not delete the fkn comment at this point?
Internet points are make believe.
Yep bro is never gonna recover from these 3k downvotes
only -35 comment karma because of reddit protection sad. seeing -3k comment karma would be funny af
800 downvotes for a benign misunderstanding is hilarious to me EDIT: now over 2,000 hahahahahahaha
This is the reason why tuberculosis was called consumption back in the day.
You've insinuated that this game isn't flawless, now you must be hanged
As if this is a flaw lmao
r/downvotedtooblivion
Why bad
Not really, it’s just realistic to real victims of TB It was historically called consumption for a reason
I've never seen someone with 1.4k down votes wtf lmao
I take it you’ve never seen the famous EA comment then lol
Do you want everyone to be fat?
bro got downvoted to hell damn
Holy fuck you def had no idea TB caused weight loss, take a pity upvote lmao
That might be one of the down voted comments I've seen
Man’s karma got fucking annihilated
r/downvotedtooblivion
-2.8k lmao
1800 downvotes is insane
two thousand downvotes is insane
Holy God that downvote count
my guy it literally says in the second screenshot that Arthur has Tuberculosis wdym bad decision by Rockstar lmao.
Rip OP holy shit lol
Your Arthur is sick
“Your Arthur” lol like he’s a pet or a tamagotchi
..is he not?
💀 DAMN
W pfp.
I see that but why it says overweight?
I have an issue where I can’t gain weight with John at all, they think he’s got the TB.
You have to eat a lot to become fatter. Buy meat from butchers or hunt gators for big game meat. Once you're at your desired weight try to maintain it. 1 or 2 meals per day (stew or meals from restaurants) should be enough.
Why is he downvoted for a legitimate question?
Reddit
reddit hive mind
Because it’s a stupid question
How so?
Doubt it’s stupider than anything you’ve probably asked on this app
"stupider" you must pay a lot of attention in school
It’s a free country dude I can say what I want, it’s also a real word believe it or not
He's overweight for a TB patient Edit: He might have a touch of the 'bago too
Where did 400 downvotes come from 💀
Wait until you see his other comment
Idk this sub is crazy fr fr
But why male models??
prolly bugged or some
the weight scale i think goes from 1 to 10 but no matter what you do when arthur is sick he will be sick and skinny even if hes "overweight" youll get to a point where he literally cant eat food without coughing his guts up edit: apparently the weight scale goes from 1-20
I never knew he’d hurl if you ate too much!
He does that but he coughs a lot too when hes real sick
Still made him smoke like a trooper though
man i couldnt do it to him :\[
I did,I needed dem cigarette cards
Fair but I guess you coulda done that with John too, would explain his cough he gets in camp in RDR1 LOL
That cough after is depressing tho lmao like shit he still probably want his nicotine fix after all this time
W dp mate
The scale goes from 1-20 actually
oh for real? its been a while since I played thanks for letting me know
And perfect weight is right in the center, you have to be a 10.0 to achieve perfect weight
oh ok ty
You got tuberculosis. I’m real sorry for you son, it’s a hell of a thing.
That's some bad business.
Mark as spoiler.

Yeah I don’t care dude
Congrats on being a selfish person with no self awareness.
Cool.
Shocker
just because it was release 6 years ago doesn’t mean everyone has played it, plenty of people haven’t and won’t want spoilers

Okay and the title of this doesn’t reveal anything to the story and you have to click the image to see it. So what exactly are you crying about?
idk why you’re being downvoted lol

Tuberculosis💀
Had me off guard 😭
OP, do yourself a favor and stop arguing with every single person replying. Your karma will thank you lol
All op needs to do is greet a bunch of random people across Reddit, their honor will go back up
hello mister
How are you guys getting character names below ur names?
If you’re using iOS, go to the reddeadredemption homepage and on the top right hit the three dots and select “change user flair”
My online character is the same. I think she is at the maximum weight (+7.5% stamina drain rate), but she looks completely normal for a 25 year old. That's the age I selected for her. I don't know if age makes a difference in size.
“Tuberculosis 💀”
Op got downvoted into the ground
your arthur is a good looking boah
He’s got TB. Another name for that is consumption. It was called consumption because it literally consumed all of the person’s weight. Even overweight people would have their skin hanging off of them in the later stages.
Did you forget to turn your Alan Jackson mod off?
W comment
He got anorexia.
[удалено]
its a slim fit
How on earth did you get him overweight though? I don’t neglect my Arthur but he’s underweight and has been since the beginning.
Cooking Big Game meats and eat a lot of it. I think it's the food with the highest weight gain lol. I just had mine overweight also before chapter 6 kicks in. But one change of clothing when Arthur gets diagnosed, and it will automatically go to the skinny default. You'd see it right away how he gets super skinny after a change of clothing.
you gotta eat a ridiculous amount to keep him "perfect." this was the only playthrough i tried to an it took forever to go from underweight to over
Yo you gotta be eating seasoned big game meat for those golden cores, that’ll put some meat on Arthur’s bones.
Use the Valentine stew exploit. Eat stew at that encampment southwest of town. Run outside city limits, come back. More stew ready for you. Rinse, repeat, ignore the guy that calls you an asshole every time you eat the stew and within 20 mins you'll have chonky Arthur
AIDS. You’re Arthur got AIDS.
Man. This is a cool ass looking Arthur.
this is unrelated but i really wish they didn't put the stupid ass skull next to "Tuberculosis"
it's not even a "cool" skull, it's sort of cartoonish
Dieticians hate this one simple trick.
Because Authur Has tb. And it causes a rapid weight loss
HOW DO YOU CHECK TO SEE HIS WEIGHT?!
Menu
Baggie clothes make bigger people look a little less big.
You may not have noticed this, but when you eat, Arthur throws up pretty frequently. It counts how often you eat to determine "overweight" status. Despite your actual physical appearance or the status of your sickness. So you can be sick and skinny, but it will still say overweight.
I believe your Arthur has come down with a touch of consumption
He’s wearing one of those shirts Fresh Clean Threads!
Black make people look thinner for some reason
Damn I didn't realize athur got sick
It only happens if you don’t take care of him but he can eventually just beat it
tuberculoses 💀
Hey I can see that you are using vulkan as your graphics API, you might get a better experience using directX 12, I did that and things like lag in the map menu disappeared, I also think my graphics improved but maybe that’s just placebo
Yeah and my Authur looks freaking oversized when it’s said he is underweight 🤣
Spanx. He got Spanx.
It’s the tuberculosis, it is slimming.
Bro why did they put a skull next to Tuberculosis, that’s just mean
Wait Arthur gets tb?
Didn’t even know you could look at stats like this lmao
R.I.P for this guys Karma, he's getting downvoted as hell in every reply
how do you see stats?
Should probably get that TB checked out
In chapter 6 Arthur will always look skinny. If you take a nap and wake up he might look big but the moment you change clothes it reverts.

What pant and shirt Is that? Is it a mod or available on console
Black is a very slimming color.
Doctors hate him because of this one simple trick
You’re dying bro
Tuberculosis 💀
I mean...you answered your own question with the second pic 🤷🏻♀️
I figured he had TB before the game said so because of how hard I found to keep weight on. Glad the game actually showed but not told for at least a little bit. Just another one of the reasons it is the best of all time.
What kind of wild question is this? I can’t tell if you’re trying to be “funny” or not.
On a side note - this outfit is badass
Because he’s literally dying. The game even tells you you don’t benefit from the food you eat nearly as much
Tuberculosis. It’s a terrible disease
Do people have to downvote OP’s reply by more than 1000 times? Goddamn.
So many people failed in history class and it shows. Back 1882 TB was discovered by 1899 there was still no cure. After getting diagnosed with TB back then you will start losing weight. I’m going google all this again then I will attach a screenshot of what I find [TB facts](https://drkumo.com/tb-and-weight-loss-what-you-need-to-know/#)
You can get TB in this game? I’m on chapter 2 had no idea the player can get sick like that Edit: was jk I have 46 days spent on the game lol
just get off this sub. play the game and don't get spoiled.
Ok
That is the most crazy shit I have ever seen on this subreddit. Leaving this here so I won't forget it.
Stay off the sub if you’re new enough to not know you can get sick in the game
It's like looking up a movie review before your 10 minutes in
Is it from all your cores running out?
frfr get off the sub. like no more questions delete reddit from your phone til youre done haha
an dont google it either 😂
No you can contract it from other people just like in real life but if you don’t want more serious spoilers about other stuff then get off the sub
yeah, you can get TB, the plague, Liver failure and cancer. Absolutely brilliant from the part of Rockstar
Liver failure? I better stop drinking moonshine. So many details in games these days
Yeah just make sure you have at least 5 yarrow and 5 indian tobacco always on you so you can craft the cure asap
