Just came across two guys sprinting out of Escalera's jail with their hands tied. They split up as soon as they got outside of town. e: I corralled one of the guys so he was torn apart by wolves. I love this game

The Chalupabaraka only shows up once per playthrough. Once you kill it, that's it, which is a bit strange, since the stats screen does have a stat for how many you killed.

It does that with the Jackelope, too. "Jackelopes killed" on the stats screen, but there's only ever one.

Welp, according to the Red Dead Wiki, there's a wonderful bug that stops the Famine horse from spawning if you don't catch it the very first time it appears. Whoops. No 100% for me.  Seriously, I rode back and forth across all of Mexico for like, an hour, and no "Mystical Creature". I even tried the "save-at-Chuparosa-reboot-go-to-Perdido"-trick. Sad sad panda.

If it makes you better, I found both Famine and Pestilence in New Elizabeth, the first area Undead Nightmare starts in. Try there!

I have no idea how to get those Jackalopes. I've been putting bate North and East of Pleasance House a million times and every time wolves or coyotes show up. So... Rio del Lobo it is.

I'm on like...my 5th and I'm still finding new poo poo. I didn't know Cueva Seca had caves until this last playthrough. I'm a giant dork about this game though. If there's any game I "sperg" over, this would be it. I wait until certain times and/or weather conditions before I do some missions. I'm playing through from start to finish without the minimap and it makes a world of difference. You're not staring at your minimap 75% of the time when you're riding around, you're looking at the landscape around you instead. It also makes combat way, way more tense just because you don't know which crates do or don't have assholes hiding behind them. fennesz fucked around with this message at 19:54 on May 15, 2011 |

I finally got the thread title. I heard Herbert Moon say "No Jewish goods here!". Once I talk to Irish i head to Mexico, though I hear that's only about 1/3 though the game.

If I ever replay this game it'll be so I can shoot people. For some reason, maybe the crisp sound effects, maybe the animations, I absolutely loved the gunfights. I'd be wandering about admiring the untamed majesty of nature, and thinking, "Yeah, this is nice, but it doesn't match the sweet, warm sensation of killing a man just to watch him die." I'd skip on the grinding, though. No more beaver pelts.

All I do in this game anymore is hunt. Put on my X41's, turn up the volume, and wander around the woods looking for deer and other animals to shoot. It's just so relaxing. Even in multiplayer free roam, it's fun to just wander around with my roommate and try to find good places to hunt. Video games are for relaxing, my friends.

Other than the Rockstar challenges, is there a way to initiate gunfights without getting the law involved? The occasional "MY WAGON BROKE  " trap is fine, but I just wanna dip behind cover and pop some heads with the ol' Double-Action  Also, yes. Something about trotting along the Tall Trees, seeing something move, and whipping out a revolver and blasting a little critter in one smooth motion. Something very therapeutic about taking an animal's life for fun and profit.

Speaking of the law, more than once some random person in Armadillo has started shooting at me for no reason, and if i fight back, i'm wanted. What the hell? Also, how can I check which horse I have. I accidentally bought the slowest horse right after buying the most expensive.

Also make sure you don't have a small bounty. I kept having people take shots at me, and it turned out that I had a 5$ bounty on me from something or other. Didn't remember why or how I got it, but it was enough for people to start opening fire on me.

I've just finished the elixir trader's quests, and suddenly I can't lock onto and auto-track anything. Targeting mode's been at Normal throughout the game, did I hit a button to turn something off or is it just expecting me to man up? Edit: Nevermind, saved and reloaded and now everything's working fine. Stelas fucked around with this message at 07:38 on May 16, 2011 |

CVagts posted:I accidentally shot a window out and drew a $1 bounty, which was more than enough for four lawmen to shoot me to death. The fine tradition of bored law enforcement overreaction. Its just as perplexing as seeing four police cruisers behind one guy that was pulled over for having a rear light out. I finally got the Undead Nightmare DLC, and while its damnably repetitive it's still fun. Except for having to kill cougars, bears and wolves with a loving torch. That was cruel, I don't think I'm going to manage that one, not while bears still have the power to stunlock you until you're out of medicine and die.

Use Pestilence for the torch requirements, he has an insane amount of health and is almost impossible to be taken down. Be careful though, I think you can still be ripped down to the ground if you get too close to some of the bigger animals (I think only bears and cougars).

Killing my first and (I think) only Jackalope was a funny story. I walked up and started the intro cutscene for the old guy picking flowers for his wife, and right in the middle of it, a jackalope hopped on by. After a few seconds what happened registered with me, and I yelled "gently caress!" out loud, skipped the rest of the cutscene, and bolted in the direction it went, hoping it hadn't vanished. Thankfully I found it.

There would be a risk of a trample kill I suppose, but the horse's description put him as extremely durable.

You know, I pass by TL plenty of times, even shopping when I had the duster on (And "post-game" with the lawman outfit), and no one's done any worse than challenging me to a duel. Maybe they're all nice to me there? v  v

Figure out how many body shot's they take to kill, then shoot them that many times -1, and finish them off with the torch. That's also how I got the kill cougars/bears with a knife in vnilla.

I once pointed a gun at someone in Thieves Landing, and it started a gunfight that left a score dead. The best part is that the guy I pointed the gun at got shot first, so I could just stand back and watch the carnage. In Thieves Landing, you make your own duels.

Yeah I'm just wasting time in Thieves' Landing with my Legend Of The West coat (after killing 10 minutes in a Duster). The only gunfight that came up with after I won fairly in a duel. Some jerk started sniping me from one of the saloons. Once I killed him, 3 more fellas took pot shots at me but I put them down. Do I really have to start my own fights here? </whine>

Walking into that warehouse and a few other places will cause people to shoot at you. But even at max honor, I don't think anyone will outright just start gunning for you. Thing is most of the residents are either generic Bandits or Bollard Twin gang members, so starting trouble with one gets the rest after you.

I think you may be forgetting one of the most awesome things to do in this game that won't get you any bounty or shots fired. Wake up in Armadillo, walk to the railing above the bar, pop out the explosive rifle and blast that no good batch of assholes at the table. One KABOOM later, 4 or 5 dead outlaws, head to the bar and get hammered.
