I would like to point out that the image of the cowboy and wild west being the hot and dry southern states isn't that accurate.

The wild west was also Oregon country, now Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska.

In the latter four, even now, if you go too far into the wild unprepared they won't find you.

I see what you did there

Exactly, there's a whole bunch of "winter" cowboys in Montana and Wyoming, lol

props for RDR2 for outright beginning with cowboys in hip-deep snow

You can have that weather in northern Arizona though.

The closest thing we've had in a game to the temperate rainforests of the pacific northwest that a lot of the cowboys of the region had to fave would be the thick tropical jungles of Crysis and Far Cry.
