Was riding around Lemoyne and got a random event up in the woods, one guy yelling at two other guys to put their backs into it or something. I go investigate and it’s two klansmen raising a cross for their meeting later that night with a guy in a black robe barking orders at them. I startled them and the cross fell on the two in white, and I chased the other guy down and hogtied him and put him on the horse. Then we went to the bayou with some predator bait. Game owns indeed.

After a brief bit of fishing, if you spam tapping down on L-stick while reeling in, you'll pretty much zoom whatever fish right to you. It's a bit obscene.

Don't you do it! let that cross touch the ground, don't you dare!" just over and over and I just sniped the guy holding it so the cross would touch the ground I didn't think "scare them"

I wonder if those just vanish into nothingness if people ignored them at the time? What DOES worry me, is when I'm patting a good doggy and see pelt star ratings pop up  Glad I'm not chasing 100% completion by a long shot.

Arrgytehpirate posted:Can you get to new Austin before the story takes you there? Googling for “Rdr2 hunt badger” has a few sites with explicit locations of the animals you need. I was able to craft the final satchel in Act 3. The key to the badger is to run around the oil derrick area at night with the varmint rifle and use eagle eye. Also I had expected the panther to be a nightmare. I went to the area and got all prepared for frustration. I started to creep into the woods and a perfect panther appeared right in front of me.

Earlier people were talking about trying to reel with the right stick to keep big fish from taking out line while they struggle. Using the right stick for this will get you a lot of lost fish, use L2 to apply drag to the reel.Nolgthorn posted:and restarted the whole story a week ago. I'm never going to get to the end. I'm still in the second chapter. same Sioux posted:Do you use a campsite for hunting? Why? I only use the campsite if I need to craft something or if I want to advance time/heal. I always destroy it right after. If you don't destroy it, do you lose access or need to 'pick it up' again later? Does it show up on your map then? I leave it up on fishing trips because you're catching a bunch of fish and animals come down to the water a lot so pretty soon you've filled up your bag with small intact carcasses, broken-down carcasses, and game meat and you need to cook to make more space, or rest to repopulate the area. Setting up the camp and tent seems to take about an hour of in-game time and that's an extra hour for Arthur to sleep and digest the thirty slabs of red meat he ate today. dorkasaurus_rex posted:Also the delay with which it explains mechanics to you is really dumb, I got killed in a fist fight really early on because it didn't tell me the block button until way later. I think that if you spent a lot of time with GTAV and RDR1 then the controls feel much more natural because they are basically a hybrid of the controls from both games. Fistfighting is exactly the same as it is in GTAV except that it works a little better. For running, try switching your control scheme to standard fps. It pretty much just swaps the crouch and sprint buttons so that you can toggle sprint by clicking the stick.

InequalityGodzilla posted:I gotta say, I’m still astonished that the bank robbery mission in Valentine after you move camp worked out exactly as expected. I chose to crack the safes rather than blow them open, and when I saw that I’d be getting like $25,000 dollars, with Arthur’s cut being around $3000 I spent the entire rest of the mission being certain, absolutely certain, that something would go wrong. The money would get stolen on the way back to camp, or someone would get locked up and the only way to get them out would be to pay a massive bribe, something, anything?! But sure enough, you get back to camp after a protracted fight and suddenly you’ve got probably more money than you’ll see for the next 10 hours of gameplay. Surprisingly generous, Rockstar. If I were a game designer, standard edition buyers would get their money stolen while special edition buyers get the full take.

Yeah, but iirc the bonus cash was only like 200 dollar or something like that? Anyway, so far the only people I've looted that had more than 20 dollar on them were yeah (small early chapter 4 mission spoiler) grave robbers. Everybody else has like 1-2 dollar top on them. Makes it extra weird that I'm running around with 3k but whatever

I am now hoping to find another person attacked by a cougar situation just so I can have the opportunity to scope them with my binoculars and doodle them in my book. They always seem to smell and hunt you before you even realise it, even if you have sent masker.

I avoided this thread until I had Arthur's story finished. Don't think I've ever been emotionally moved by a videogame before, I had to charge through the story to find out his fate. Reading the thread I realise how much I missed on my way through (although I felt I was being pretty thorough). About to start playthrough 2. I can't get enough of the random encounters and how they play out, and that there are always options and different ways for things to end. I just found some O'Driscolls who had killed two lawmen, in order to try and free their captive friend in the cage on the stagecoach. They couldn't open the lock and were making a lot of noise, so throwing knifed them. The caged prisoner started antagonising me, I shot the lock off the door and he ran off. I chased but he was fast, took a few minutes of running to lasso him, then back to the valentine jail house, where they let me lock him up and paid me. Nothing in the game told me I could do this, and it wasn't a bounty mission, I wouldn't have even seen them in the dark if they hadn't been shouting. The free elements like this make this game immensely enjoyable for me.

This is anecdotal but for poster looking for moose i found one up near fort wallace. Was trying to figure out why my horse was freaking the gently caress out since there were no enemies marked on the map and as i turned to look the big bastard wandered by in the trees. It was a bit south and east of the fort. No mark there on my map though as best i can tell. But it was a three star so i got a perfect out of it with the rolling block

Something weird in Rhodes—there’s a question mark on the map right next to the gun store, and when I went there to look at it, there was a guy standing there staring at another guy sticking his arms out of a barred basement window in the side of the gun store. Basement guy was gesticulating his arms wildly but not making any sounds. It won’t let me talk to basement guy, and when I talk to the guy looking at him all I can say is the standard “Howdy! Hope you have a nice day!” or whatever. Apparently that’s all I can do here, and the question mark doesn’t seem to indicate anything else of interest. Is this a bug? Do I just need to come back later?

I saw it during the part in Chapter 3 where it keeps telling me that Dutch doesn’t want me to use weapons in Rhodes, and basement guy’s ? overlapped with the search area for one of Strauss’s debt collector missions, I wonder if those caused it to bug out for some reason. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I got a robbery tip for the Rhodes gun store at some point

I wanted to make sure I had all the special fishing lures, wasn't sure if the ones I don't have are at that bait shop in the swamp so I was on my way there and I stop to look at this dead body hanging from a tree. These two psycho swamp people come rushing at me and I wasn't interested, I just wanted my drat lures, so I scooted off. I get to the bait shop which is a decent distance away, certainly far enough that bounty hunters or anyone else who gets angry and turns to a red dot in the game would give up, and these idiots are still following me. The lady at the shop is like I don't want any trouble and stop fighting and won't let me in, so I just had to sit there and wait for these idiots to run on foot all the way there just to shoot them, which of course the shop closed once I'm out there murdering folk. A good game. Edit: I have a feeling it doesn't have the special lure I need anyway because every time I'm near a legendary fish it tells me someone around Flat Iron Lake likes fishing HINT HINT WINK WINK! davebo fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Nov 15, 2018 |

I usually play a good guy in any game. I have trouble being bad and evil. yesterday tho... holy poo poo i don't know what came over me. Some jackass tried to steal my horse and I decided the best way to make him pay would be to shove him in front of an incoming train. Sounds easy enough, right? HA! I rope the guy, shove it on the back of my horse and starts riding. Not far behind me is a coach I hadn't seen, so they witness my crime. I tried to rope the driver and hogtie him so he would not report me, but in the meantime other riders come by and see me in action. gently caress it, i'm just gonna shoot them. It works and i think i'm all good. I start looking for a train and eventually find one but i caught the end of the train. Running along side it with a guy on my horse obviously triggers the guards who start shooting me. I kill them one by one as I move alongside the train, not really paying attention to where we're headed. When I finally managed to pass the train, we come up to a small town and people start freaking out because of the dude on my horse, leaving me no choice but to go on a killing spree. Why oh why cant we just murder 1 person without going on a murder spree? In the end i just reloaded :P

Had a weird bit of dissonance in Chapter 5/6 with the stranger mission "Do Not Seek Absolution" Once Arthur came down with TB at the butt end of ch.5 I got it in my head to start finishing off stranger missions, and saw one with Edith Downes was available in Annesburg, so I go do those and set her and her son up with money and they leave town. HOWEVER, the game expects you to do the first mission with Dutch immediately (the one where to change camps and chapters), and this is the mission where you're supposed to notice Edith is in Annesburg. If you're like me and you did her misisons before going to Dutch, you get treated to a cutscene where she's whoring again - presumably the game expects you to see that and then do her quest, not the other way around. So I just kind of ended up with a sour end to that storyline. :/
