If you run your horse in the red too much, it can die. They can also die within seconds of being bitten by a rattlesnake.

I will give Rockstar one compliment though, in terms of realism, they've definitely made beaver as hard to get in this game as it is in the real world.

If you can find the spawn points you can ride back and forth getting the game to cycle through the spawns. For example, in that low area leading up to the ford just past/behind the railroad camp, it will spawn elk, bighorns, boars, beavers, and wolves. Just ride your horse into that area, if it's not what you want, ride back to the circular area near the camp entrance. Ride back and usually it will have changed. Saves a lot of wandering.

I was in Torquemada (I think) and I saw a rattlesnake chilling out in the corner of the town so I gradually nudged an npc right over beside it. The guy was bitten and died almost instantly. It was glorious.

I live in a place with abundant beavers supposedly (West coast  ) and I've only seen about two in the wild, ever, despite lots of evidence they are around. They are sneaky bastards.So are cougars though. The game really got their natural behaviour wrong. And bears don't try to kill you the second they see you. Otherwise I'd be dead 100 times over.

You don't even have to push its stamina that hard, it'll just keel over seemingly from nothing when you're going at a brisk-but-reasonable speed. It doesn't happen that often, but it's a pretty big what-the-hell moment the first time it happens.

Goddamn wolves  I found my first Hungarian Half-Bred today, and in the process of chasing it down and trying to tame it, about 5 - 10 wolves came running out of nowhere and decided to harass me. After whipping out my trusty Bolt Action Rifle and pegging the fuckers, I started looking around to find the Half-Bred only to find the fucker had run off. Goddamn wolves. I spent a good 10 - 15 minutes trying to find another one and finally managed to break him, only to get ambushed by even more wolves on the ride back to my house. I loving hate wolves now

I thought of two things earlier concerning the post-game [SPOILERS]... One thing that bothers me with Jack isn't so much his voice (I just picture of him as being scarred and turned psychotic from the trauma of his family dying to the US Army and Bureau and that is enough for me), but how he looks so much older than he is supposed to be. I mean, in three years time, he's gotten a huge growth spurt, sports a goatee, wears shaggy hair, but still sounds like a little kid. Not only that but Edgar Ross looks incredibly aged for only three year's time. I don't think he would have retired so soon after killing John Marston, given his appearance then. The other thing that I actually find interesting is reading about Edgar Ross being honored for taking down Dutch's gang in the post-game newspaper. Although we've come to empathize with John after 30+ hours and being with him in his fight for his family, if we put ourselves in the shoes of a random townsperson reading the newspaper and seeing John's name as murderer in a notorious gang being put down by the law, we would either think nothing of it or cheer on Edgar Ross. We would most likely not even know (or care, for that matter) about either Edgar Ross or John Marston and just move on as if John's name were just a blip among the rest of the news. It's really deep if you think about it in more recent terms. Would you really give a gently caress about a nameless or semi-nameless terrorist being taken down in the foothills of Afghanistan? Would you sympathize with an outlaw taken down by the CIA as just a name in the newspaper, or would it make a difference if you knew the man personally and saw his struggles to get his family back safely from the CIA, complying with the CIA to take down former compatriots in the Taliban, al-Qaeda, or another insurgent or terrorist group? A modern John Marston, if you will? Just food for thought.

Emron posted:It's in Great Plains. Not one specific area of Great Plains, just the entire area. And if you can't find it there, grab your shotgun and head to Tall Trees and look for one, I found the one I first broke there and they're easier to spot since the snow contrasts so much with their color. They're pretty much the only horse breed that spawns there that is even close to that dark, at least that I've seen in my time going biblical on every bear I see up there. I also kind of want to gauge what weapons people typically use when running around in-game. For the longest time I had a boner for the Bolt-Action Rifle, since it's the most hard-hitting rifle until the Buffalo Rifle (one shot to center mass instant kill), but I recently picked up the Evans Repeater again to try it out since the 5 shot clip on the Bolt-Action makes it impractical to use with dead-eye compared to the Evans. I think pretty much everyone uses the High-Powered Pistol (except for the Mauser occasionally) though. Also, how the hell do you do that dead-eye + dynamite bug from a few pages back that the video was of?

Something pretty funny happened to me recently. I was completing a bounty up in Tall Trees (I think) and I was hog tying him on a reasonably steep and snowy slope near a cliff. As soon as I finished the hog tying animation and the camera zoomed out my bounty started sliding down the slope while bad-mouthing me and then shot off the side of the cliff like a rocket and died when he hit the floor of the rocky valley below. This was made even funnier as I killed my horse in my attempts to get to the guy's corpse and watched Marston ragdoll down the cliff. Still turned in the bounty though.  I love the bugs in this game. Man-rocket-toboggan has been one of my favorite moments so far.

I ran across a few packs of wolves harassing people passing on the road and whenever I'd get done skinning the pack I just put down another six or seven more would show up. I eventually fled the scene when I got fed up with taking the time to skin everything. Mr E posted:So I just got the game today.

I cleared the guys out there, captured the guy, whistled and whistled for ages for my horse, it finally gets there and I put the bounty on it's back and then my horse just leapt off the cliff before I could jump on it and then I had to slowly work my way down the cliff side to retrieve the corpse's proof. I've had a few odd horses that insist on shying away from me when I move towards them (sometimes where I can spend up to 30 seconds or so actually chasing my god drat horse after I call it) and they seem to keep doing it until it finally dies or I get sick of it and cycle it through horse deeds but I have no idea why it's happening just that it's consistent.

Yeah, I went in there earlier today for a treasure hunt. To test the theory of the invisible/trapped NPC's I fired my gun, and a few of the guys unholstered their guns and started firing from some alternate dimension and yelling at me.

Just finished the game today, near the end game I had a really strange glitch where I thought the game had turned into The Shining [SPOILERS]... I was following my dog up the mountain to find Jack. Right as I reached the top, I must of skipped the cut scene. This led to me going from a relaxed horseback ride to being 5 feet away from a charging grizzly! In the next cut scene, there were 2 versions of Jack. One was all scratched up from the fight, who was doing all the talking. In the background, standing behind a rock, was a clean version of Jack. He wasn't talking, just watching everything with a blank stare. After we rode back to the farm, creepy Jack appeared again in the distance... just watching. I am assuming this was a glitch, unless the cut scene I missed had some crazy plot twists. My 2nd favorite glitch was during a game of horseshoes. I accidentally called my horse right as I started the game. In the middle of my first throw, my horse arrives dragging a screaming man underneath him. Eventually, the guy gets thrown way up in the air and comes crashing down right in opposite sand pit. I had to quit the game of horseshoes. It just didn't feel right tossing rings over the corpse that my horse was responsible for. Of course, I did loot his corpse.

Even if that were the case, it's still the disembodied footsteps and voices of the previous occupants, who've now moved on from this plane of existance. Echos of people who were likely killed in a bloody shootout (by you). Sounds like ghosts to me!

I just had a completely skinned cougar attack me. I killed the bastard, and skinned it. I turned to call my horse, and the SKINLESS COUGAR GOT UP AND RAN AT ME. It knocked me down but did no damage. This creature from Hellraiser kept running, turned to attack again, then suddenly fell to the ground and slid for a few feet. It was all kind of startling. Something else funny happened during the mission where you are supposed to help round up the cattle during the thunderstorm. It was the part where your are trying to keep them from running off the cliff. I tried to stop/turn , and my horse just didn't want any of that. Instead, it plummeted off the cliff and died, but I somehow survived. Two seconds later cows just started raining down on me; smacking the ground, mooing, splatting, and bouncing. It was wonderful.

I got through the entire game and the "California" mission never showed up. I guess I don't get 100% now. As for the endgame, I think it was one of the most sobering, bittersweet endings to a video game since Mafia.
