Aces High posted:makes sense, a lot of these homesteaders are out on their own, have to rely on themselves to survive in a not-so-hospitable place (what with bandits and the environment), and need to figure out how to cope in order to survive. Hmm, good point, considering the location seems to be up to its rear end in bandits and unusually deadly wildlife, I suppose only crazy people would actually stick around. Zeniel posted:Yeah that's exactly the vibe I got off of it. I mean I have played this game before and might well have done this mission but it's been so long I've forgotten. But yeah everyone's a nutcase, amoral or both. Except for Bonnie of course. Bonnie does seem to be developing a crush on Marston, which is its own kind of crazy. Besides, I’m wondering if she gets killed off, though her father is also kind of a likely target so maybe he goes instead of her.

There's an irritating lack of closure in a lot of these stranger missions. Like, we know there's a mad old woman still waiting at the church, but we can't go see if she has any family or whatever we can take her back to? John wants to help Jenny to not die out in the deserted wilderness with nothing but cacti and wandering lawmen for company, but he can't muster up a quick "What's that, Lord? You want me to take Miss Jenny back to town so she can, uh, inspire the faithful? Well hallelujah!"

I don't necessarily subscribe to that theory, but the encounter with her is definitely weird enough (and there are hints of supernatural stuff elsewhere in the game as well) that I can see why you might think that. She actually is dead in Undead Nightmare, although that of course takes place after the main game and in an alternate timeline as well.

Jeez, has it been a month already? Stupid work projects taking up all the time I could use for important things like talking over video game videos... Episode 8: You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit Nigel West Dickens has discovered the cure to all ailments and enlists our help demonstrating its qualities. Interestingly, this literal snake oil appears to actually work somewhat, improving John's shooting skills. Mr. NWD also directs us to a rather interesting fellow named Seth Briars... Also, here is the first newspaper of the game, Blackwater Ledger No. 53:  I'll upload a version of this later where the HUD elements aren't blocking the lower corner. Not that anything important is blocked here, just a couple of ads and a cheat code ("The old ways is the best ways", overlays a sepia filter on the screen) but I'll fix it anyway once I get a better shot of the lower corner of the newspaper. Or I could just link to an existing upload, but where's the fun in that? edit: Also, as the description quite clearly states, the rabbit's foot we bought doesn't make the enemies less accurate and in fact gives us 20% more ammo and items when we loot enemies. The thing that does make enemies less accurate is actually another item we get later on if the random number generator decides to co-operate. Maybe I should actually read the onscreen text sometimes.

 Episode 9: Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans Racing. The sport of kings, and the kind of mission everyone loves so much there has to be at least one mandatory race in every open world game that must be won. Fortunately, this one isn't very difficult, and I genuinely like racing anyway so I don't mind it. In today's episode, we also encounter another one of West Dickens' fine friends who is supposed to help us get into Fort Mercer. Of course, since everyone in this game is crazy, stupid or both, things aren't quite that simple. The 1440p and 4K versions of the video are still processing, check back in a couple of hours or so.

Oh boy, an update you didn't have to wait a month for!  I do apologize for the erratic schedule, but I pretty much have to post these updates whenever I'm not too busy with work or too tired from a big project. Episode 10: Let the Dead Bury Their Dead As a wise man once said, who finds a friend finds a treasure. Actually, that's an old Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movie, and I'm not sure Seth really counts as a friend, but it's still a nice sentiment. Plus, we find some real treasure as well, with monetary value and everything. The 1080p version is live now, 1440p and 4K will take a few more hours to process so check back after a while for those high-res versions of the episode.

Speaking of upcoming episodes (one of which will be uploaded in a few hours), let's say old Lord Saddler has to... retire for whatever reason which may or may not involve mountain lions in some capacity, what should I name his replacement? Lord Saddler the 2nd is not available this time because the replacement, the War Horse, is not of the noble Saddler breed. The current frontrunner, as suggested in the SALP discord, is Salazar, but I'd like the thread's suggestions as well.

I think it'd have been funny if Seth's map to the Tumbleweed treasure turned out to be identical to our map and the gold bar we picked up in the basement was the treasure all along. That said, the gold bars are worth only a few hundred bucks each, and even though that was a lot of money back then it wasn't exactly going to be the unimaginable riches he was looking for.

 Episode 11: Can a Swindler Change His Spots? Today, we're spending time with our good buddy Nigel West Dickens again. First off, we do some work on the customer complaints department of his elixir business, and then take part in another race which isn't nearly as simple as the previous one. Can we pull off the win without shoving a bottle of pills of questionable origin down Lord Saddler's throat? Speaking of Lord Saddler, keep sending in those suggestions for the name of his eventual successor. There's no rush or anything, he'll be around for a few more episodes. e: 1440p and 4K versions will take a while to process, as usual.

 Episode 12: Born Unto Trouble We visit Gaptooth Breach, and have some fun with mining equipment as we look for that gatling gun Irish promised he'd get for us. Elsewhere, we encounter more strangers and they're just as, erm, interesting as usual... Jeb's sidequest largely feels like a bit of a cheap joke by Rockstar, but there's more to his story. His surname is Blankenship, as indicated by the game files and a newspaper blurb later on, and someone named Grace Blankenship is buried in the Tumbleweed graveyard with a headstone stating she died in 1907 and is survived by "loving husband Jeb". The clear implication here is that the the poor bastard lost his mind after the death of his wife. Finally, here's Blackwater Ledger No. 54:  How dare they accuse me of horse doping?  Speaking of horses, keep sending in those name suggestions.

 Episode 13: The Hanging We finish up Irish's missions, and that means we are just about ready to hit Fort Mercer. Or at least we would be, if we didn't have to ride to Tumbleweed first to save someone from being hanged by Williamson's gang... Actually, next time we'll be doing some of the side stuff we have left in New Austin, and Fort Mercer will be episode 15.

 Episode 14: Lights, Camera, Action We're almost ready to head on over to Fort Mercer and take on Bill Williamson's gang, but first there are some things we should take care of such as stranger missions, gang hideouts, and heavy drinking. So, that's what is on the agenda for today, and next time we will assault Fort Mercer. If anyone still has horse name suggestions, please post them. I'm quite liking Citizen Horseperson (C.H.P. or "Chip" for short) but I haven't decided on anything yet. I certainly don't want to go through the desert on a horse with no name, and so the decision will be made before episode 17. Hm... now that I think of it, "Horse with No Name" is actually a pretty good name for a horse in a western game, but please keep those suggestions coming if you have any.

I know that John is obviously weirded out but I've always thought his excuse of "I have a meeting with planet Earth" is very mean-spirited. Considering how he reacted to returning a horse to a man that treats it like a wife, I think he could have said something else and not seemed like an rear end in a top hat.

So, if you watched the latest episode, you saw me getting shot at in Thieves' Landing. That's certainly nothing new, but it seems no one knows for sure why people will start shooting at you (I always assumed it was tied to your honor rank) or whether any disguises will help. The bandana certainly doesn't. According to my extensive research (about five minutes on Google and the RDR wiki), if there is a trigger for the NPCs to start firing at Marston it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your honor level, or at least not exclusively. Of course, when you reach max honor, friendly NPCs will occasionally come up to you and be all "It's the Hero of Kvatch!" so it'd make sense if attaining that rank would also make some of the lowlifes in Thieves' Landing hostile. However, that doesn't seem to be the case, and it may actually have more to do with Marston shooting up Pike's Basin (presumably for the second time, when you complete the gang hideout like we did in the video before going to Thieves' Landing). The guys who will start shooting at you in Thieves' Landing are members of the Bollard Twins gang, so it'd also make sense for them to go hostile. It might also be a combination of high honor and having completed Pike's Basin, since we never had any issues in Thieves' Landing in the past. As for why the Bollard Twins outfit (whose entire purpose is to disguise you as a member of the gang) didn't stop us from getting shot at in the video, I think that might have happened because I didn't put on the disguise until after I had entered Thieves' Landing and so the Bollard gang members in town still knew it was us. After I saved and loaded, we were able to walk right past some guys who looked like Bollard gang members without any issue. I'm just guessing, though, because nobody apparently knows for sure how any of this works. edit: Speaking of max honor, it'll make NPCs look the other way and not report any crimes you may commit unless you actually murder someone. That might have been helpful when we were taking Jenny back to civilization, although in that case we were spotted by a nearby lawman so it probably wouldn't have made a difference. I'm also not planning to commit any more crimes at this point, so it doesn't really matter either way whether people will report us.

 Episode 15: The Assault on Fort Mercer All our efforts in New Austin have built up to this (well, maybe not the side missions, but you know what I mean). We're finally storming Fort Mercer with all of our allies, and we plan on taking Bill Williamson dead or alive. This episode is a short one because it's just the Fort Mercer mission. I didn't want to immediately follow up the finale of the game's first act with a bunch of side stuff, so next time we'll start the episode with that before we continue the plot. Also, this is your last opportunity to suggest names for the War Horse, because he'll be making his return in the next episode. 1080p version is live, 1440p/4K are taking forever to process as usual.

 I've tried playing the video at different resolutions and on different browsers, and never encountered any audio issues (aside from my voice in general ). Still, I clearly need to do something about this, so I'll render another version of the video (at 1080p because rendering 4K videos takes ages) for you guys, and you can tell me if the problems are fixed.

Honestly it might've been the games audio just screwing up. It's only for a small chunk of the video. And it's like all the audio cuts out unless someone is speaking. But I think it just happens in that cutscene around the 3 minute mark. Perfectly fine otherwise
