Description

Throughout the game, the protagonist is knocked out and incapacitated several times. During the "free parts" of the game, the protagonist can encounter women who are hogtied and shouting on the back of men's horses: the protagonist can choose to intervene or not. Early in the game, the protagonist has to save two women from men who try to sexually assault/rape them. One of the optional missions features a couple who drug and rob the protagonist, and their dialogue reveals that they are brother and sister. The protagonists threaten to cut a prisoner's testicles with wrenches in order to make him talk (they put his pants down and show him the pliers). While collecting a debt, the protagonist suggest a man to sell his wife to repay him. The protagonist can visit a cabin, which will lead to a cut scene in which he is knocked unconscious. Over a black screen the sound of a belt unbuckling can be heard, with a voice saying "you struggled and you lost" and calling the protagonist his "pet". The character later awakes in a clearing and walks in a bow-legged manner for a while, and depending where in the game the player is, if they go back to camp another character will impliy he knows about the rape, and mocks the character for it. During the 'Rhodes' part (confrontation between two families), incest among one family is mentioned, as well as some members being depicted as 'slave fuckers'. In the final mission involving two lovers from these families later on, rape is mentioned. Soon after when the protagonist enters a town called Saint-Denis, he mentions that it is full of rapists. One mission in that city consists in freeing two men held captives by someone involved in slave trade. Anoter mission consists in saving a woman who was kidnapped by a group of men: sexual assault is highly suggested (the protagonist rescues her in a mansion where she is tied up and gagged). In a side mission of stagecoach robbery (during the Saint Denis part), sexual harassment/rape is discussed. In another side mission where the protagonist helps a man to escape from a town while being dressed as a woman, the latter is catcalled by men (which does not bother him), and he suddenly kisses the protagonist without his consent to hide from a (supposedly) antagonist character. The protagonist encounters twice the widow of a man he extorted, who became a prostitute to meet her financial needs. Eventually, he helps her during a side mission: she is shown being desperate, and about to have sex with a man for sex. During a mission consisting in killing people living in a cave, the protagonist encounters a female captive, deeply traumatized (sexual assault is implied). During another side mission consisting in helping a secluded woman who lost her husband, the widow warns the protagonist that she can defend herself against his potential bad intentions. During one of the last missions of the game, one female character mentions that the men who killed her husband and child "did something" to her (presumably sexual assault). One of the characters has a known backstory of having been a prostitute under the age of 17, which is often met with many degrading jokes behind her back and one of the characters suggesting she should go back to doing it. She reveals during an optional minigame that she had been around prostitutes since the age of 8 and was eventually groomed into doing it as well with the promise that she would become rich. It is heavily implied, whether teasing rumors is up to interpretation or not, that she had sexual relations with the older men in the gang when she was 16-17, leading to her becoming pregnant with a 21-22 year old's child. In a certain area if the player loots a certain knocked out adult man he will hand them a love letter meant for a female character who is around 15 at the time. In the side mission "Money lending and other sins IV" , the player witnesses a woman attempting to pressure a man into having sex with her. At Sean's return party the player might overhear other gang members singing a song about diddling. Sometimes at night the player can find other gang members talking at the campfire if Lenny if the one talking hr sometimes might mentioned how his grandmother was raped.
