Finally got Unnatural Selection for killing one of every species of animal or whatever it was for. Despite the description, it sure seems like it leaves out a lot of animals.

It only counts wild animals, not domesticated. So no dogs, pigs, cows, bulls, chickens, etc.

It would have been cooler if it counted all of those, too. And also Natives. :3:

Yeah, this, and I'm pretty sure Shotguns don't count--I tried, and I kept not getting credit, I guess because each pellet counts at a shot or something.

Personally, I'm a fan of Dead Eye + Sniper Rifle, just to make sure you hit just the right spot.
Shotguns count. You may have been shooting the wrong type of bear? I think only Grizzlies count or something, I dunno. I just know I got it done the first time with the semi-auto shotgun because I didn't have the buffalo rifle yet and it was my strongest gun.

There is only one kind of bear in the game, but shotguns definitely SHOULD count. It's just that the game is really buggy sometimes.

The semi-auto shotgun counts. It's quite fun seeing how close you dare let them get before you blast them.

Yeah. Doing all the American hideouts in 24 hours unlocks the Marshall outfit, and outfits count toward 100%. Besides, the outfit is pretty sweet from the screens that I've seen.

Don't worry. It's really not hard at all. It took me like a half hour to 45 minutes at most, and while you may want to pack some medicine and moonshine beforehand, just have Red Dead Wiki open with the hideout locations and you'll be golden.

Yeah it's really easy, you have like an hour and a half to do it. You could spend almost 20 minutes per hideout and still finish.

AFAIK that is not an available character at all, even not in legendary. I googled around the save hacks, and though some offer randomizing your online character...adding new ones?!

I messaged the guy asking how he did it, no answer.

Indeed.

If you want to make it easier on yourself, get the Elegant Suit, and intentionally get caught stealing, duel the other guy, rinse, lather, repeat until it's just you and one other guy at the poker table.

I'm terrible at poker, so I barely managed to scrape out alive after I did this. I'm sure I never would have been able to do it if it weren't for... eliminating the competition.

Thats awesome! I have yet to use the suit. I've beaten everyone but the well dressed Chinese chap. I keep getting really bad hands so its taking along long time. I wish I had worn the suit, I'd kill him.

Oh well, hopefully I'll get lucky soon and bait him into all in when I have a decent straight. Sitting here playing this guy makes me wish I was back at the casino. I'd love to be up 3600 chips instead of down way to many like in real life!

I managed to sit down when there was only other one guy at the table. I kept raising the bet by a couple hundred every chance I got. He'd either fold, giving up the hundreds from before, or keep calling. From that point it only takes winning or bluffing a few hands in a row before he'll have to go all in and you can bust him out with a little luck.

I just walked up and punched one of them, then wandered around in the vicinity of the table after they scattered until one player came back and sat down. From there, it was easy.

I used the elegant suit to cheat, then just bet all in whether or not I thought I was actually going to win. Eventually it worked, but the other ways are probably easier.

A guy at work who plays "serious poker" says that the game is rigged to have more exciting hands. "Movie Poker", I guess.

I wonder if they'll make it legit when the multiplayer pack comes out.

The dice game is pretty fun too, except the comp seems to never lie once they have one die left.

Same here, at the Blackwater saloon. I figured it would be a lot easier to bust out one guy than a whole table, and it went pretty quickly.

edit: I have been shot to death for smashing a guy's window. I went up against the wall and broke a shopkeeper's window with my elbow (you can do this by trying to aim through a window while covering, even if you have the fist selected), and the Sheriff standing directly beside me decided that shooting me in the head repeatedly at point-blank was a fine way to spend the afternoon.

Haha, I see, thanks for letting me know! The bank thing ended up with me in jail (after I got shot a few times) for trespassing; I guess the bullets were police-bullets, not bank-dude bullets like I thought. This is good to know: old west law gives no poo poo, ever (unless, I guess, your fame/honor is up high, which is an awesome mechanic). This makes sense, though - I seem to remember it kind of being that way in the PS2 GTA games, though I'd forgotten about that

Wait, I think I'm supposed to say "You just try accidentally putting your arm through a window in front of a real cop, and see what happens" ;)

I was getting so used to seeing a cart on the side of the road with a lady asking for help only to be jumped by a load of bandits that the last time it happened I just shot the lady dead and entered dead eye for the inevitable bandits to come from behind the cart.

They never showed up. I just murdered a defenseless mexican woman.

I was surprised to discover that killing all of the bandits and leaving the con-woman alive sometimes results in her saying, "please don't kill me mister, I just fell in with a bad crowd is all" and then if you refrain from shooting her she rambles a bit about how she's made some mistakes but she's going to change her life and become a dancer. Then she gives you a few bucks and runs off, and you gain a bunch of honor.

I thought that was sort of neat. I always liked it when games included an option to offer clemency.
