If the game offers you the chance to settle down and raise a family, DO NOT name your daughter Clementine! It won't end well!

Dolores wouldn't be a good idea either.

Now I'd like to see the Duke pull that off!
Warning: Nostalgia Ahead!
Spoiler, click me
I have seen every (still-extant) John Wayne movie ever made. Even the ~20 early ones that feel like the exact same movie.
My favorites? Big Jake, North to Alaska, and El Dorado.
Fun Fact: North to Alaska's dialogue was almost entirely off the cuff. The bar fight at the beginning also caused the actors to spend a week getting drenched in real beer every day.
I love westerns, so long as they aren't horror-inspired. I prefer the John Wayne or Audie Murphy type to the Singing Cowboy or Clint Eastwood type.
Any western that gives the 7th cavalry their comeuppance also gets my vote.
The last really good one (that wasn't a remake, prequel, or sequel) was Lonesome Dove.
I would kill for a game set in Tombstone (prior to the murder of Morgan Earp), Deadwood (prior to Bill Hickok's death), or one where I could save the lives of roughly 460,000 people.
Here's an idea: let me play as a Native American, instead of a cowboy for once! No, assassins don't count!
Failing that, I'd at least like a game to let me meet the likes of Chief Joseph or Woman Chief aka. Pine Leaf.
Going back a touch further, Osceola would be a good choice to give players a chance to change one of the greatest acts of perfidy ever. Even Jesup's supporters couldn't deny the sheer villainy in that!
Can you tell that I'm talking myself into writing a script for a game yet?

Once again, I am asking online multiplayer games to offer couch coop :(Tastes differ I guess. I don't care how "Wild West" the game is, I don't want a chicken coop on my couch.

It sounds like you talk from experience.

Glad I'm not the only one. Although I only thought that about the thumbnail image.
All the screenshots and footage on the Steam page look much more flat than Valheim.

Yes agreed after watching some video footage it looks a little less like Valheim though :D
