Never played the game (fuck westerners lol) but I notice there is a correlation between being deeply immersed in rdr2 and being miserable

No, my spouse plays it primary for the online component. He enjoys riding horses, customizing them, dressing up his player in different outfits, going on missions with other players, collecting with other players, bounties, hunting, building a trade business, doing competitive pvp, and a lot of soft gameplay and RP like drinking and dancing in moonshine shacks, getting into bar fights, playing poker in saloons, making an ongoing story for his character that involves his online friends… etc.
It’s a perfect game for the sandbox MMO crowd. I played it for a while and enjoyed it too for a bit, but I think I need more story in my face and tactics like in BG3.
Is there a feasible way to fight on the side of the natives? I've considered getting into it, but not really been a huge fan of the GTA sandbox/amusement park style games in a while. Like could I persistently help grow a native controlled region on the game map or something?
Interesting that you ask that. My spouse plays as a native woman and even has a backstory based on real life. As far as I know, there is no native “faction” you can control or anything like that.
To be honest, beyond your appearance there isn’t any difference between player “races” in the game code. So no NPC is ever going to care if you are black, white, native, etc. They probably did that on purpose.
