Do I have to activate trains or something? I've never used one and I'm trying to get the Snidely Whiplash "put a girl on the train tracks" trophy. I've been waiting by the tracks for like 5 minutes fighting off coyotes and nothing has appeared.

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Now that I know horses act differently, time to wait until my horse starts being a dick again so I can put on my bandanna and dead eye it in the face or dick. Or both.

The rear end in a top hat always runs past me, then gets just outside of my prompt threshold and trots along about as fast as I can sprint.

On the red dead wikia (not 100% reliable but I believe this) it says that after the game is complete, you can hear NPCs around McFarlane's ranch talking about how Bonnie finally found a husband.

No you don't have to do anything, they're just slow. It's 1910 after all! If you are near tracks (or maybe its only if your near a station) and you check your map you should be able to see where the train is - it's a little red icon - and from that you can tell how long it'll be till the train comes.

I'm in the small military encampment near the Love is an Opiate stranger and the finale of Aztec Gold and I ramped my Bounty level up on the roof of the safehouse there.

I jumped off the roof entirely planning on landing on the ground, instead I landed ONTO my horse and INTO the saddle. Had no idea you could do that until just that moment.

Bounties sort of "expire", but they are considered random things anyway (ie: they're not fully scripted), so you can just do a different bounty later.

i found the easiest way was to get them on your horse and then find a train, and run ahead of it a good bit, do your business, and then get outta the way

Well, i'm stumped as to why i don't have 100% as i have:

57 completed missions;
20 bounty locations 8/8/4;
94 Map locations;
5 rare weapons;
9 outfits;
5 jobs done;
13 homes/savepoints owned;
7 gang hideouts done;
6 mingames won;
All of the challenges done;
18 strangers met/done;

Yet i'm only on 99.5%.

Another forum i've read mentions that the "i know you" stranger doesnt count as one of the strangers, but i still have 18 listed in my stats anyway. Do i need to have 19 listed there?

So, anyone have this happen? I beat the game completely. Saw the end credits and whatnot. I did not get the 100 point achievement for the next to last mission but did get the one for the avenging I did before the credits. I have no save point to return to and am pretty miffed overall. Is there anything i can do to trigger it happening?

Also, it says I only have done 56 missions, but I know for certain I've done them all.

Yes. There are a total of 19 Strangers in the game, and "I Know You" is the only one that doesn't count for 100% completion.

You have to trick the third guy into making bad calls to start. Start the thing by saying you have three of something (you will likely have two of something and someone will likely have another one).. The more dice you have and the less they have the better you can lie, and the easier you can whittle them down by calling them out.

So if you start off by saying 3, by the time it gets to the third guy now he has to say like...4 or 5, now he's losing dice. Just keep doing that and try to lie about dice you actually HAVE, never just make poo poo up. The best lies are grounded in truth, remember.

Are you on PS3 or 360? Only thing I can think of is that you have 7 hideouts listed when there are 8 (on the ps3, Solomon's Folly is a ps3 exclusive hideout)

If you still have trouble, check my OP and I have a link to a 100% guide and a link to the social club website that has a 100% section.

You don't seem to understand the rules fully. When someone bids, they say there are at least that many dice, when you say something is spot on, you're saying that it's exactly right. Also if you bid 2 or 3 sixes from the get go, that forces them to bid 3 or 4 of something, and they'll usually get caught lying, unless someone got a good yahtzee roll or something. The thing to remember is that they have to bid a higher dice face or a higher number of any dice. This means you can force them into situations they can't win because they won't call you out on something like a few sixes when you still have 5 die.

Yes and no. There are different ranks of Deadeye, which you get for progressing throughout the story. There are items you can get which provide passive bonuses, which you get for doing certain things. There are challenges that provide bonuses for completing them. There are outfits that provide passive bonuses. When you say "level up" I think of it as improving your character, and everything I mentioned are ways of improving your character.

This doesn't make any sense, though. When I bet on something, I get punished because it wasn't exact. When I call bullshit, they win because "Oh, heh, you thought they bid EXACTLY 4? They bid AT LEAST 4. Cough one up, cocksucker." It doesn't make any loving sense.

Are you sure you're paying attention to what's going on? If, for example, you bid that there are 4 sixes, someone calls your bluff, and there are actually 5 sixes on the table, you should be ok. You don't need to be exact when you bid, you just need to bid that there at least that many dice on the table. If you think you're losing even though there were more dice on the table than your bid, I don't think you're paying attention because I'm 100% sure the game doesn't work like that.

But nobody ever bids exactly anything, it's always "at least" when someone bids. The only time "exactly" comes into play is when somebody calls "spot on" which means they think there are indeed exactly that many on the table.

Then either your game is glitched or you're remembering incorrectly because the game doesn't work like that, I promise you. Maybe you pressed the wrong button and accidentally called a bluff instead of making a bid? I don't know what to tell you, all I can say is that I've played Liar's Dice in this game quite a bit and that has never ever happened to me.

Are you pressing triangle/Y and saying spot on? Cause that's what it sounds like. You should hit x/a and bid unless you're sure it's exact. You can either say what they said was exact, call their bluff, or make your own bid.

I think Liar's Dice was made with drinking in mind. There are exactly 0 rules, and the whole premise of the game is based around deciding if someone is lying or not. Lose a die, take a shot/chug.

I have $12725 dollars right now. That roughly equals $289351 of today. Not a bad fortune John is bringing home. Definitely easier to make money in this game than the last two GTAs put together.

Differently online inflation calculators put it different numbers with a ~10,000 dollar difference. Most only go as far as 1913. Still, quite a pretty penny for some bounty work and general corpse picking.
