Digital Scumbag posted:Could someone tell me the location of the You Know Me stranger mission, or whatever it is that doesn't count towards 100%? The weird one with the devil as the quest-giver. Ride the main road from Armadillo to MacFarlane's ranch, you'll see the question mark pop up about the halfway point. I'm not exactly sure how far along you have to be in the main story to make it first appear though.

ShowTime posted:Would be nice of you to spoiler the end of that stranger mission. My bigger nitpick is what you would have preferred to be the conclusion to that story. Are you saying that collecting the flowers and giving them to a live guys wife, which is terribly kosher and boring, would have been more enjoyable then the guy giving them to a dead body that he lives with and still considers to be "alive", so much so that he believes she still makes him dinner and goes for evening walks with him? Apparently, she also makes some mean rear end pie. I'd like a piece.

That social site is really bugged, it tells me I haven't completed any stranger missions yet. Can't be that it hasn't updated those either since pretty much the third thing I did in the game was complete one.

Meeble posted:Yeah, there is one hidden in Mexico somewhere. Pretty awesome at that. It's really easy to find, actually. If you can't find it: Look southeast of Chuparosa, in Barranca. I found a list of all the Stranger missions, which other missions you need finished to unlock them, and their start locations. For your OP pleasure: Starting Area: "Flowers for a Lady" - complete "New Friends Old Problems" Between Macfarlane's ranch & Thieves landing, just before Stillwater Creek. "Let No Man put Asunder" - complete "Obstacles in Our Path" Near Coot's Chapel, sitting on a wall near a ruined house. "Jenny's Faith" - complete "This is Armadillo, USA" East of Ridgewood farm, by the road next to a rock. "California" - Complete "Women & Cattle" Southeast of Gaptooth Breach, west of the finish line to the race. "Water and Honesty" - complete "Political Realities in Armadillo" On the ridge heading up to Hennigan's Stead. "American Appetites" - complete "Political Realities in Armadillo" Outside Sheriff's office in Armadillo "Funny Man" - complete "Exhuming and Other Fine Hobbies" Telegraph Office @ Benedict Point "Who Are You to Judge?" - complete "Liars, Cheats and Other Fine Americans" Rathskeller Fork stable "Lights, Camera, Action!" - complete "The Sport of Kings and Liars" Movie House in Armadillo, around the back. "I Know You" - complete "A Tempest Looms" South of Mescalero, along the cliff. Mexico: "Daedalus and Son" - complete "We Shall be Together in Paradise" Ridge just east of Agave Viejo. "Eva in Peril" - complete "Lucky in Love" Behind the Cantina in Casa Madrugada. "Poppycock" - complete "Civilization, At Any Price" In Chuparosa, in the Town Hall where they post the Bounties. "Love is the Opiate" - complete "Empty Promises" AND Stranger 13 "Poppycock" Slaughterhouse in El Matadero. "Aztec Gold" - complete "Must A Savior Die?" Sidewinder Gulch, on the eastern end. West Elizabeth: "The Wronged Woman" - complete "An Appointed Time" Inside the Church northwest of Blackwater. "American Lobbyist" - complete "An Appointed Time" Gazebo in Blackwater. "The Prohibitionist" - complete "An Appointed Time" AND Stranger 17 "The Wronged Woman" Blackwater saloon. "Remember My Family" - complete "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed" Blackwater train Platform. I haven't actually gotten all of them, I found that on Gamespot's forums and cleaned it up and made the locations a little more accurate for the ones I have done.

FishBulb posted:Best way to get EXP is just to grind Gang Hideouts or be really really good at PvP Yup, but even when blasting through a hideout on the 360, on average you'll pull from 700-1200 which is a lot of replays if what i've read is true and level 50 requires 337110xp. Also, those people with the zebra donkeys are probably using hacked saves. I came across a bunch of people today using one.

This whole game is full of crazy people. Every time I sit there listening to someone and thinking 'this person is stupid/crazy' I feel validated when John says things like 'well, I hope that goes well for you' or makes (more or less) subtle exasperated faces. Which is pretty much every time.

A conversation in my house earlier today: Mrs. Hobo: Are you done shooting horses in the back of the head yet? Me: Yes I am done shooting horses in the back of the head. Mrs. Hobo: Good, I'm gl- Me: ...for now. At the time I was standing atop a pile of about 12 dead horses. It should have been closer to 40, but the game starts deleting horse corpses after about a dozen accumulate in one spot. I found that when your horse is at a full gallop, you can shoot it in the back of the head and make it trip and tumble hilariously. Especially if done while going downhill. So I found a hill with a nice straight road and just kept doing it. In free-roam, you get a new horse within seconds of the last one dying... so they just sort of piled up.

I go over on horseback and try to shoot it with my repeater real quick, and as I lock on to it, it decides to run right in front of my horse. I fire without even thinking and put a bullet in the back of his head.

Solomirathnius posted:I'd suggest selling off all the herbs you have in your inventory before you go for it, that way you can keep a track of how many of each you have when you start the challenge. And it's only two of each, it's not like they're asking you for 10. Actually, you can keep track of this, and other challenges, by pressing triangle (Y on the Xbox?) for 'Info' when looking at a challenge in the challenge list. It says things like "You have collected 2 Violet Snowdrops" etc.

One that I've been noticing more is that I'll be riding along at nighttime and there'll be a dead body just off the side of the road. Nothing anywhere near it, no explanation, just a black X appearing on the map and some dead guy laying there. The fact that it only happens at night is actually kind of unsettling. I keep wondering if there's some shadowy beast about to leap at me from behind a rock when I stop to check the body.  Honestly, the more I play this game the more it reminds of the setting for Deadlands (a western/horror tabletop game) in ways. Something about this version of the west just feels... not quite right. Solomirathnius posted:I saw that, but it seemed to go away after I turned off the console and reloaded the save. You have to collect them all in one session. It resets otherwise.

I can't seem to find an answer that really satisfies me, so maybe someone here can explain it to me. What are the various(?) uses of the plants/meat/skins? I'm not very far into the game at all, but all they are good for right now is vendor trash. Will keeping the stuff I gather, instead of selling it all, pay off? How?

A couple of Stranger missions and journal challenges will want specific stuff, but there's really no benefit to keeping stuff otherwise. It's mostly a guaranteed source of income, since an extended hunting trip can bring in a couple hundred dollars or so.

And playing liars dice when you get the stranger mission will get you unlimited amounts of cash. Seriously, i played that cinema guy mission where he asks you to go play dice in thieves landing. Antes are 200$, and the others can't bust out. I just kept playing and winning and now i have 20k $

Jedrick posted:Thanks to the FOX short I now know that Fort Mercer has a trans-dimensional portal to Tumbleweed Mansion, should help in Free Roam. I noticed this too, lol. What a strange 'plot' edit. Was anybody else left sort of scratching their head after watching the animated short? I thought it was bad. In fact, watching the 30 second commercial for the game pumped me up more than the 30 minute short. I'm no director, but I just felt like they made some strange choices with the scenes and dialogue. Also, did any of you notice at the point where they're about to assault Fort Mercer and are all standing on a hilltop, that the Irish guy was randomly there (random to the show, since he wasn't introduced at all in it)? Like we the viewers are watching a scene entirely of characters that we know and have been introduced to in the short (the Marshall, his deputies, Dickens, Marston, etc) and then this randomly disheveled bum (the Irish guy) with a big rear end beard and torn clothes. Things like that actually really turned me off to the short. John Hillcoat being the director did nothing for it. In fact, I literally just assume Hillcoat just slapped it together to get it over with. I thought it was going to be so much better. Anyways.

Anybody figure out the online lobby? You can smoke, chop wood, dance, drink, etc. but only at the beginning or until you do something else. You can fistfight, but not all the time, apparently. Sometimes my aim/shoot buttons do nothing. Is everyone beating me in the shootouts because they have LeMats? I know this is supposed to be for fun, but the combination of such long load times for a small event tacked with unskippable scenes on both ends makes it more aggravating than fun most of the time.

What drives me nuts about the dialog is the back and forth bickering/friendliness John has with people that happens when you are riding along on a very long "Press X to skip to destination" trip. It's never important to the plot really, but I never want to skip it because I feel like I'm not taking it all in. It just drives me nuts how it always gets heated and then the conversation changes. John: Yeah, well, I think you're being an unreasonable rear end in a top hat! Other guy: gently caress you, Marston. Until you've blah blah blah. [five seconds pass] Other guy: You're a great man, John. John: Thanks, other guy. You're a really swell fella. Let's makeout.

So, I notice that when I punch people out in saloons (which is funny as hell btw), they just get back up seconds later and keep coming after you no matter what? Does just knocking them out for those couple of seconds count for Fighting Around the World? Also I'm noticing a trend of hands that never actually equate to anything in Texas Hold'Em.
