Chapter 2 Forever

🌟 Perfect starting point

A clean and minimalist save file that lets you start the game from the perfect starting point in Chapter 2. Micah is in prison, everyone else is back at camp, and there's a whole world waiting for you to explore.

The design concept of this archive is to allow you to have the largest amount of side content to play while ignoring the main story and staying in Chapter 2. You start with only the most basic supplies and basic weapons, and the only content you've completed so far is the main quest.

🎯 Simple start

  • 💰 Personal funds: USD 100
  • 💰 Camp Funding: $25
  • ❤️ Health, stamina and Death Eyes are all level 2
  • 🐎 The initial horse intimacy is level 2
  • 🐎 "The Unruly Beast" Shire horse is in the stable and was only used on the way to Valentine in Hosea's Bear Hunt mission
  • 🎒 Only the most basic items in the backpack
  • 👍 Honorable choices made in all story missions

✅ Clean archive

  • This save file does not have any mods installed or any cheat codes used
  • The save editor is only useful for modifying money amounts, setting health/stamina/death eye levels, and removing thimbles from inventory (because I accidentally got it in an early chapter 2 mission before getting the item request)

🚫 Unfinished side content

  • ❌ No side quests or bounties completed
  • ❌ No companion activities are conducted
  • ❌ No challenges completed
  • ❌ Did not encounter any random events
  • ❌ Did not encounter any gang conflicts except story missions
  • ❌ No huts/lockboxes/gold looted
  • ❌ Have not visited any stores except story missions
  • ❌ No production has been done except for the bear hunting mission
  • ❌ No camp upgrades have been made except for the required medical tent upgrade in Strauss' first mission
  • ❌ No weapons purchased or obtained except those obtained during story missions
  • ❌ No animals were hunted or handed over to Pearson or trappers
  • ❌ No Pokédex entries collected except those obtained during story missions
  • ❌ No camp dialogue other than Tilly’s tip about the robbery at Dr. Valentine’s office

📦 Item Request

In addition to the storybook requests that Jack gets automatically during the main story, I've only added those item requests that don't seem to trigger after completing the "Sheep and Goats" quest:

  • 🚬 Dutch - Pipe
  • 🧵 Jack - Thimble
  • 💈 Bill - Hair Oil
  • 💵 Abigail - $5

Pro tip: Dutch, Pearson, and Susan may initially pester you about food and camp funding, as both are low. You may need to contribute some to trigger Pearson and Susan's item requests.

📝 IMPORTANT NOTE

  • 🎮 All main missions in Chapter 2 have been completed except Micah’s mission
  • 💬 Since you haven't spoken to anyone in the camp yet, you should be able to trigger conversations about many of the Chapter 2 quests
  • 🥇 I intentionally didn't get gold in all missions in case anyone wants to get gold themselves on replay
  • 🎲 Only played one poker hand during the Swanson mission
  • 🗺️ Only explored the map areas visited in the main story
  • ⌚ The antique pocket watch in Wrobel’s house should be lootable
  • ⚠️ The only main quest available is "Blessed are the meek?", which is to free Micah from prison
  • 🛠️ If you like this save but want more money/weapons/items, you can use mods or cheat codes, or edit the save file with the save editor

Enjoy the game! 🎮

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
