Try getting off your horse and walking. That usually guarantees a blizzard of cougars whenever I do it.

I bought this game because I had the flu and was bored. Great sick game since you can sit around on a horse doing gently caress all. Maybe shoot the odd bird or a deer.

I lost 3 horses while collecting red sage. All wiped out by cougars which teleported behind me while searching for plants on horseback.

One thing I don't like about endgame: I don't mind Jack's voice, but I don't like how he talks to the horses

He's not very likeable in that regard.

He is, actually. I shot him in the head, but only managed the one deadeye before being killed. So either I didn't kill him, or for story reasons, he can't be killed?

No, that's just a regular Bureau agent. There's 2 or 3 of them in the crowd.

So I'm moseying along, following the river when I come across an old cabin with a black dude leaning against a door frame, just chilling out. John takes one look and goes 'DANG, THIS PLACE IS DESERTED.'

Ross isn't available for killing, but his partner is. He's still leaning against the truck when this happens, only to walk out of the crowd when it was done. His partner is on the left side of the crowd if I remember correctly.

Premeditated Toast: Apr 24, 2008; Same as it ever was.

So I'm stopping over in Casa Madrugada to save at my property, walk through the door and there's some random cowpoke standing in my room. I go to the bed and try to save but it won't let me, so I conclude it's because of the npc in the room. He won't budge so finally I get fed up and shoot him and he starts flailing like bugs bunny screaming "Oooh that hurts! It's gotta be the worst -ouch!" I fill him with some more lead and he's still flailing but stops screaming. That's when I realize I'm in the wrong room :haw:

I have decided that the best part of the game is sprinting full speed into Nigel West Dickens until he ragdolls over screaming 'JESUS CHRIST MARSDEN.'.

I have made a game of counting how many times I can knock him over before a cougar rockets up my rear end. It is a very low number

Cougars find you. In Rio Bravo, or in the north of New Austin to the east of Rathskeller Fork. Seriously, start exploring the mountains on foot and you will be swamped by your fellow brethren.

I think there's a psychological component, they have to know you're distracted or trying to do something else before they'll come. Try to gather herbs, work on some of the challenges, basically anything that's not hunting cougars. Before you know it, you'll be getting ambushed every twenty seconds. Every time I try to do something else "productive," it's cougars as far as the eye can see. When I was actively hunting them I could never find the bastards.

Sir Spaniard: Nov 9, 2009

That could explain why one just killed my horse, and nearly me, when I got to where I wanted so I could hunt boars. Took my horse down from behind and then took off once I fired a shot at him.

Also: killed a guy, walked over him with my horse. Bloody hoof prints

I like doing this with all sorts of NPCs, except with my horse and making it rear up on its hind legs and kick them in the face.

I did something similar. After pounding a couple of shots in the Armadillo saloon, I went outside to get my horse, which I had hitched at the post. Only it was missing. I looked east down the main street and sure enough there's some fucker riding off with my Kentucky Saddler not twenty feet away. So I pulled him off and got on. Then he did the same to me. This went back and forth a few times before I got sick of his poo poo and blew him away with my shotgun. Then all hell breaks loose and I'm getting shot at from seemingly everywhere. I jumped on my horse and booked it west into the brushy hills.

Then I saw the wanted notice for killing a law officer. Wincing with what was increasing realization as I pressed up on the d-pad to whistle for my horse, I saw his blue icon pop up on the mini-map. :downs:

Mine was similar to this... I was out in the wilderness for a few hours doing a bunch of gathering and hunting and what-have-you, and a guy yelled and screamed for help, then came running over and pulled me off my horse. Shot the fucker dead and got all :argh:

about getting duped. Ran into a woman in her knickers asking for a ride, she does the same thing, I end up whistling her off my horse, hogtying her, and leaving her to rot. Then I run into ANOTHER guy, different outfit and clothes from before, who tries to pull the same poo poo. Shoot him dead through the heart at 20 paces and feel all :smug:

about myself.

Then I ride into Blackwater and some dude is shouting for my help and before he can get a second word out, my LeMat had already put a hole in his face. Cue every single Marshall in West Elizabeth going completely insane on me and chasing me down. Shooting charlatans trying to steal your horse is a bad habit when it's really just a shopkeeper that just got robbed. :doh:

For me, half the fun is in letting them throw me off the horse so I can shoot them in the back. Admittedly, if I started killing any NPC I thought might try to harm me I'd probably just end up shooting anyone who opened their mouths. It's a policy I avoid for my own protection as much as finding interesting NPCs.

My first experience in this game of a random event was a dude running through the hills being shot at by two guys in dead of night. Me deciding I was going to be a good dude as usual in this game leapt to his defense. I whip out my carbine and plug them both.

That was two lawmen I should not have killed :clint:

I did exactly the same thing. The second time that event came up, I tried to help the lawmen, but they went mental and started shooting at me as soon as I killed the criminal. I shot the gun out of one lawman's hand and he mysteriously fell over dead, so I decided just to tear rear end out of there and have done with it.

This game does some extremely strange things, sometimes.

Hah, who needs the roof? I was just running around capping them with the buffalo rifle.

The strange thing was that they weren't very aggressive. Just kinda lumbering around in the areas behind the house where all the rocks and such are, just on the border of Tall Trees. But definitely within the fence surrounding the ranch.

Edit: Oh, and when I saved and reloaded later at the ranch, it was the same thing... only this time with foxes. There was like a herd of about 6 or 7 of them just running along.

isk: Oct 3, 2007; You don't want me owing you

Yep, animals on the ranch tend to be passive. I think I capped 10 cougars in a row after finding their spawn point. They'd just pop up, shuffle in a straight line to the fence while completely ignoring me.

Only exception I've seen are wolf packs.

Yup. The tomahawk is basically a one-shot kill but you need to be pretty close to use it, so it's good for a nice sneak in the back once in a while.

Are you sure that people who have the pack are still playing with people who don't have the pack? I didn't download it myself and I've never seen anybody use a tomahawk. Also haven't seen anyone use one of those Red Dead Revolver skins.
