Due to spoilers, this will be blurred. Yes, he is related and will appear in Part 3.
No, not even close.
Yes, you can explore other relationships.
Where do you all think the River Dogs will fit into the narrative of Part 3? I hear a lot of talk of the Silverthornes.
I think theyâll make excellent trading partners and will be an integral part in building a trade network (if possible). Iâm not sure if Iâd want their help in a fight against other survivors maybe use them as a diversion ? But based off of the way they describe themselves I donât think theyâre role is combat oriented which Iâm fine with because they potentially offer something that benefits both of our groups which Iâm fine with. You donât have to be a fighter just be useful in some sort of way.
That sounds like a consequence of the MC/player being honest or foolish(depending on how you look at it) enough to tell some strangers where they live or worse lead them(Kelly). So I donât think that is a problem for MCâs who isnât that trusting of strangers. If you did do that then I can see that happening to you.
I think the River Dogs seem like natural buddies. Theyâre a group of pals and their families - so long as we donât cross them or act hostile, I think they could be good allies for our group. The danger is if they get really hungry in future parts of the series⌠maybe they get desperate enough to try stealing from us?
@JimD I love you but What do you think Mara opinion is lol.
Mara:Wet dogs? Are they a euphemism or something?
Me. No Mara the group of the lame guy that beg for food and almost spill all his secrets
AH DOG FOODâŚI TOTALLY ON BOARD RAIDING lame rivers of Babylon thatâs a cool songâŚ
Me 
Mara:I will Raid them and show Keith how Sexy I can be⌠i mean how good raiderâŚ
Now sincere opinion. I donât care. As you wonât let me destroying them and is no way Evil characters will helping them being so damn lame. I would use them as trading route or offering protection in exchange products. but they are
1 stupid
2 starving
Because of this, I have hope that Mindy will reappear as a survivor to meet. Itâd be sick since itâd be like ZE all over again! Realistically though I understand as to why @JimD would not add that interaction in since ZESH is different from ZE. But Iâm happy to hear regardless that there will be other survivors to meet.
Theyâre a decently sized and well rounded group who have somewhat of a grasp on how to survive. Theyâve got a good albeit temporary base, their method of approaching other survivors is optimal (friendly but cautious) and they overall seem like an alright bunch whoâd make for excellent trading allies.
I always give them 100 rations of food. And while there is the whole âitâs nice to be niceâ thought process, thereâs also a more pragmatic side to this decision. The way I see it, itâs an investment. They clearly have the potential to thrive in this apocalypse-theyâre just in a pickle when it comes to food, which could easily cripple them in major ways. So I give them the whole lot of food-100 rations is absolutely nothing, especially if you get lucky with hunting-watch the wholesome charade of Joe tearing up and thanking us and then move on.
When they get their shit together, starting making progress and improvements and become a kickass group of survivors, theyâll remember the hand who fed them. Theyâll remember the survivor in shining armor who helped them in their time of need. Theyâll be cooperative. Theyâll be trusting.
I can use that.
Honestly Iâm still trying to figure out the narrative. Thatâs what has the most of my attention presently.
Part 1, we get thrown head first into the apocalypse. We get to see how things have drastically changed then end off with saving Jaime from his own group.
Part 2 was much more subdued, consisting of the survival element and focusing on the characters with new appearances by Finn, Church and Gina. Stellar, yes. But just as weâre beginning to relax, we meet Keith who, based on the poll from earlier, is generally viewed as the main antagonistic force. That makes it easy to assume thereâll be some kind of big fight in the end but I know @JimD wonât make it so straightforward.
The Silverthornes arenât a simple group of killers. Thereâs plenty of pragmatism in the way they operate amd thatâs what I love so much about them. There were other additions to the cast such as Kent, Harriet and Edâs family, the River Dogs, Eli and Jude. Because many characters were introduced, predicting the next bit of the general narrative is difficult, but Iâll try.
Whatâs about to follow are my best guesses for Part 3, opinions, observations and what I found out through a lot of digging:
Eli tows our vehicle and takes us to his junkyard. The Silverthornes may know about this location. I think this will be as close to a permanent base as weâre going to get. Weâll probably be able to set up defenses like usual and maybe even build structures. Iâm sure if we do things like this to prove our worth, Eli would be willing to keep us in the junkyard. Or we could just assert our authority and take over whether he likes it or not. Someone still has to tell the poor guy he wonât be getting his newspapers delivered anymore.
Now, hereâs something interesting. If we chose to think about Keithâs offer, accept it or decline it, he said heâd be coming back either way. He wouldnât know about our move out of the hilltop so that means the Silverthornes have lost us, at least temporarily. If we fought back and captured Benton, the Silverthornes wouldnât be returning so soon. Benton tells us so. Basically, regardless of how we treated the Silverthornes, we end up disappearing in their eyes.
There will be different approaches to Eli but I like to think that would affect how he welcomes us to his yard initially more than anything.
A new base would come with new activities such as scouting the area, talking to the other characters and missions. I canât even begin to imagine what kind of missions weâll have during Part 3. Maybe weâll be able to actively go looking for these Makarovs. One item on my wishlist is going to a university or research facility to gather or simply use equipment for a cure and collect other supplies. I did see mention of a teen mission of some kind on Patreon but I wouldnât be able to say anything about it even if I knew all the details.
We know that the River Dogs are holed up in a factory not too far from us and I imagine we will get to meet them again if we, say, go exploring. Maybe we can go to them or they wander over to our turf. How we interacted with them, if at all, would obviously matter. Iâm speculating here but I suspect the Silverthornes got to them. It could be that they refused the offer and fled the location in case the militia come back for them (the Dogs seem like a good bunch and I donât think theyâd be willing to be part of a group as ruthless as Keithâs, at least not now anyway). When we meet again, that could be our common ground. Because theyâre possibly on the move with all their gear, they may be open to trading. Iâm sure theyâll find somewhere else to sleep without our help (again).
Perhaps Thelmaâs group is the only one not aware of the Silverthornes. I canât say much else because we havenât even met a single member of the biker group but Thelma is definitely in charge in some capacity and will remember us if we remind her.
Jude and his New Army buddies may cause some friction for us later on. Our soldierâs mission will definitely begin taking shape in Part 3 too.
I can almost guarantee some internal conflict within our own group. We havenât properly dealt with Rachel yet, people may want to leave, Kelly couldâve been taken and people may want to try get her back.
To conclude, I think we may have a chance to face the Silverthornes again. Weâll have options for sure. Like do we sneak in, do we walk in through the front door (which wonât go too badly if we agreed to join them), do try to engage them in peace talks etc.
I guess weâll have to wait and see untilâŚ
ZOMBIE EXODUS: SAFE HAVEN PART 3 
I know this is a bit off topic but when you train the group as a master in a skill, is the reward greater? Havenât been able to check this yet.
In fact thatâs the tactic I will follow when part 3 will be out give them food. However i like their reaction to someone that is sincere ruthless. And I think thatâs a mercy and a useful experience.
Look River dogs society as we known Is DEAD. You canât go telling people where you are and those stuff You are acting like morons. Looking lame You have to apparent be strong and being useful as trade or something.
Sincerely Their description made me feel out of immersion. Who being so oblivious and so lame could survive five minutes. They are the only group in game that are not credible. They are typical movie troupe I almost imagine a Highlight text underneath the guys saying GOOD PEOPLE PROTECTED BY PLOT ARMOUR
They are put in stories to goodies players could feel special and say LOOK HOW CHARITABLE I AM⌠SEE SEE ⌠i am remembering certain experiences as kid when Otherâs called me things for role-playing evil.
I am wanting a CREDIBLE friendly npc to allied with. One that is not kneeling in street begin for food as are totally stupid to not raid or scavenging. HOW CAN THEY SURVIVE SO LONGâŚ
My bet as friendly group cool to ally is Thelma and Mambas. With Riverdogs could be annex them and Make some sort of village when they could learn to behave like logical and kids can be taught not everyone has to fight so they could do all civilian stuff when I made the scavenging and defensive part as they are too naive for it.
Except that you can kill them all.
Yeah Well Mara didnât try killing them as theyâre not a thread. I mean they arenât like White and Cowboy that had tons of stuff and guns. Mara just donât go murdering everyone just because. Being lame is not a excuse She will have no problem to raid their base trying talking first if not 
Maybe could be good for them in overall as they seem totally incapable of survival in long term.
Could i give 100 food if they get parker with them⌠I TOTALLY pay for get rid of him
Most of my mcâs would definitely trade up 100 food for Parker to be given away⌠itâs too bad the Silverthornes took Kelly and not Parker
I could sell him as a Evasion expert as he is a expert in chicken out then is a expert in Shouting tantrums to Armed people Perfectly suited for Riv3r dogs
Yup like I said I will just tell the other group parker is a green beret
Nobody will believe that. You could say He is a good survivor but it was a problem of he wanted bang someone with bf so you want have peace in your group so you give them the food and Parker in good will⌠And shooting at them if later want return Parker back
Maybe but if your mc is a soldier they have no reason not to believe you. like if I ment Parker I would think he is a green beret. But I want to trade Jamie he can fight good so I could he is Navy seal team 6
Cut Parker tongue then because just talking and his way or walking shouts No military college guy
Parker will get his revenge on you all ⌠you do know this, right? 
Yeah that is ture what green beret acts like him. Plus they canât take insulin. But I could see Jamie as a navy seal he can fight. But I have met specal forces guys they are the oneâs nobody would expect. Like this was five foot Six he was skinny and looked like a nerd I am a nerd to. I didnât Know until the 10th time I hung out with him I was shocked.
Not my fault i was about give him MY insulin then he chiken out and return afer i killed everyone and the tried to menace me and STOLEN MEâŚ
AFTERWARDS THAT EVERYTHING IS FAIR TO MAKE HIM SUFFERING EMMA TWO.
Mara has a psychological torture plan to shattering his mind including Britney Spears drunk singing same song over and over
