There are a few of the strangers missions that are off the beaten path but most of the time even those you will eventually stumble across.

Dick Trauma posted:I just made it to St. Denis and somehow I am not even 50% of the way through this game. I got to St. Denis quite early on my playthrough during chapter 2, on the stranger mission where you're meant to find old gunslingers which I was doing ahead of progressing story missions. You end up on top of a train for one of them and if you stay on top of the train long enough, you end up in St. Denis. Well since I had just killed a guy on top of the train, this meant I was basically a mobile crime scene attracting attention as the train went past people, and my first experience of St. Denis was leaping off the train then running through the streets with police after me, no idea where I was or where to go, and bullets flying everywhere. I led them around what felt like half the city, hiding for a bit but not losing the wanted level fully, then the chase started over and I managed to get out of the city alive on foot somehow but this was where I also discovered alligators for the first time as I tried to run through the swamps to get away from the pursuing police. It was hilarious, and great. I was already sold on the game by that point but the absolute disaster of this side mission taking me to somewhere I'd never been and the absolute chaos that ensued was A+.

I've lost interest in trying to do every little thing but I do enjoy the side missions. I wrapped up the series with the nature photographer. Going to miss that guy!

Barry Foster posted:And just how cool and open he is with people more polite and 'civilised' society would consider freaks, weirdos and degenerates yes, its great storytelling that even though Arthur has no formal education or familiarity with stuff those guys care about he is much more at ease with them because they are genuine. I think we touched on this before but to me one of the biggest traits Arthur has is he respects authenticity. He has no patience for the various hypocrites he is dealing with like the Pinkertons or whoever else. But when he meets some weirdo he is far more patient and even compassionate because he appreciates someone having the courage to be themselves.

My favorites are Albert Mason, the wildlife photographer, and Hamish, the Veteran. But Mason stands out for me as someone I can point to whenever some edgelord says "b-b-b-but Arthur was an evil monster psycho!!!" Yeah....an evil monster psycho who is going out of his way to keep this earnest if totally clueless man alive. For absolutely no reason or gain save for the fact, as noted, Arthur respects authenticity. He cares for this naive but good soul who just wants to enjoy nature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux2fjhV6LYw&t=982s

Buschmaki posted:I think murdering people for money makes you an evil psycho even if you make friends The only people you murder in story are cops, gang members, bounty hunters, Cornwall's goons, soldiers, and...that's pretty much it. A really cool bit of storytelling is John tells you to kill no one on the train robbery in Chapter 2. You can, in contrast, find a train robbery done by O'Driscolls where they killed everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0hYmx8M52I The loan sharking is probably the most morally objectionable thing Arthur does, honestly.

I do enjoy cosplaying a bit by murdering the absolutely poo poo out of every Lemoyne raider I see. Tie em up, toss em in the swamp. Or off a bridge. Or on the train tracks. Set them on fire. Explode them. I bring a lot of righteous anger to Rhodes and the entire free state of Lemoyne.

Riding at night I came across what turned out to be a small KKK rally, and it was even smaller after I was done with them. A couple of days later I caught three of them trying to raise a cross and when I started shooting they dropped the cross on themselves.

While that is a perfectly valid response that I do not want to discourage, it's also fun just to chill and watch them without getting involved. I know how that sounds, but trust me it all works out.

If you're suggesting that the meeting gets attacked by a pack of ravenous mountain lions that would also be a worthy conclusion.

If you're going for the challenge to kill multiple enemies at once with a single stick of dynamite, the klan members are by far the easiest way to accomplish this.

Finished the main story after years of on again off again playing. The last two chapters really hooked me. Favorite side missions were probably that hunter guy, the scientist with the “son” and the serial killer.

In regards to the son, if you head back into the mountains from the start of the game you can find his tracks and go find him up on the top of one of the mountains, mourning his dad's death

I think the developers wanted the best side mission to be the cabin being built over time. It's right on a main trail, it gives you a couple side missions leading to other cool points of interest, and the building coming together over multiple sessions is a neat way to imply the passage of time. e it's the most boring though and I just remembered the cannibal pig farm Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Nov 12, 2023 |

The cabin was always bugged for me (including literally playing on a fresh save recently) and just goes from them needing wood to it being fully built with no additional input. Sorry cabinailures!

Someone said upthread that Arthur appreciates authentic people, but I think he also blossoms when he gets to be useful, and his friendship with Caroline proves that.

I'm on sharpshooter 8, which requires you to disarm 3 people without reloading. I can't seem to disarm anybody. I shoot them in the hand, the gun, the arm, and they don't drop their weapon. I've tried using pistols, repeaters, and the varmit rifle. Whats the trick here? I have no problem disarming people in duels, but doing it in a normal gunfight just is not working for me. Is there a better place to find cougars than near the westernmost trapper? A lot of people say that you need to dispose of corpses in the area you hunt so that cougars can spawn, but I don't know if that is bullshit or not.

Up near the scientist's house. A cougar always finds me there, at least.

Shamelessly stolen from Reddit:quote:Follow the railroad up from Annesburg. It curves to the west, cougars can spawn in the clearings here. Keep following the railroad until you come to the lake/waterfall area. Here continue along the trail, cougars will spawn on both sides of the water near the trails. You can continue to follow the trail to the left (going south now I think) and cougars can spawn in this stretch too. The best spots are right on both sides of the water near the trail though. Just loop from railroad to water to trail and cougars will spawn. For what it’s worth, when you’re googling that kind of stuff, reddit posts from the last couple of years are by far the best source. A lot of the top results are from sites like IGN, polygon etc and they’re usually articles that haven’t been updated since the original console release

When out cougaring, fire your gun in the air periodically. It will cause any stealthy cats to attack and reveal their little red dot on your radar.
