Random question with a big endgame spoiler attached: I know about playing as Jack Marston after you finish the story, but can you still play stranger missions? I still have to do Daedalus and Son but don't want to bother doing a tedious beaver hunt just yet.

My Lovely Horse

You can, with the exception of the Strange Man missions, so best finish those before the end. There's also an additional stranger mission that opens up only afterwards.

I was in the same situation actually, with Daedalus and Son still left to finish, and I always thought it was slightly amusing to see Jack casually walk up to the guy and drop the beaver skins and flowers his father promised to bring three years ago, implying that the guy had been patiently waiting all this time next to his half-finished apparatus on this godforsaken, wolf-infested mountain.

The one stranger mission in Mexico where that one guy wants you to find some treasure or something, if you start it as John and end it as Jack, the dude will comment on how you look different than before. Or so I've heard, haven't tested it out myself yet.

He does. Some strangers have different comments if you finish their missions as Jack.

Goddamnit, now that I'm at the "kill two cougars with the melee knife" challenge, the cougars have made an alliance with the wolves. As soon as I step off my horse I've got a wolf gnawing on my arm, then cougar death out of nowhere. Happened twice in a row now.

Well, I'm about an hour into Undead Nightmare and I just met Herbert Moon. Reading the thread title, I had no idea who the character was and expected him to end up appearing as the big baddie at the end of the main game, but what he actually was was, well...I can't say I expected to walk up and hear THAT.

The worst is scouting for cougars on your horse, only to hear "rrow!" have it suddenly collapse from beneath you.

You don't want me owing you
So I started a new playthrough this week, first time I'd loaded up RDR in months. Now, I've got a 100% playthrough, and in that run it had been a long time since I'd died to a bear or a cougar.

Anyway, just after I help Marshall Johnson apprehend Walton and I'm getting all my RDR instincts back, both John and the Kentucky Saddler collapse and start sliding down a hill. I knew the cougar was circling for the finish just as I knew there was nothing I could do to stop it.

A couple days ago I killed a cougar that way when my (dead) horse fell on top of him. My satisfaction was short lived, since the other cougar killed me before I could even get up.

One of the best deaths was by bear, though. I'm trying to get the "kill bears with one shot" challenge, and I'm on my horse leading this bear along so I can get a shot at him with my sniper rifle. So I've got no peripheral vision at all, when suddenly I go flying through the air; the last thing I see when I'm spinning through the air is the second bear that had snuck up on me from the side. Felt like Luke Skywalker at the beginning of Empire.

Far as I recall Herbert Moon is only ever identified in poker games and when someone robs his store. It's probably entirely possible to play the main game and never learn his name.

Haha no, it's not. You may not play him in poker, you may not help him get his money back, but it's impossible not to learn his name.

Ahh, thank goodness.

Now you really wanna have some fun? Load up vanilla RDR, go to Herbert Moon's shop, punch him a few times til he knocks down, then pull a gun on him but don't shoot. He'll pull his gun and start shooting at you. Just run and hide, and watch as the lawmen swarm Mr. Moon. He's like loving Rambo. It takes like 10 guys to take him down.

It's okay because no one really likes bigfoots(feet?) anyway.

Just picked this game up again after playing it to death for like the first month it was out. It's still my absolute favorite game of all time. My housemate just bought it so we sit next to each other on the couch and just play the poo poo out of the multiplayer. I love playing cowboys so much!

The 3x XP thing yesterday was nice but it should probably have lasted a little longer. I got home from the office in time to play Warthington Range for like 45 minutes and level up a little, but not nearly as much as I would have liked to.

AUGH my loving 360 just shut down and gave me four red lights about an hour after I decided to do another playthrough of the main game. gently caress. poo poo. It's a second generation so it's not unexpected but dammit that doesn't make it hurt less. These things still cost 300 loving bucks.

If it's showing four red lights, your AV cable is probably just disconnected. Unplug and re-connect everything and try again. It's three red lights that are the sign of death. Unless you meant three lights originally in which case I feel bad for ya, son.

Sort of. You are only about 2 or 3 missions away from the end. Shouldnt take more than 20 min.

It's four and I already tried removing and reataching the AV cable. No good. Thing just went straight out on me in the middle of a game so I'm pretty sure the cable itself is good.
