Just got done discussing playthroughs so far with someone else and they've also had the bizarre issues with checkpoints where some things don't get rolled back. Repeating now - manually save like crazy.goferchan posted:I think it's just the games way of tutorializing in the early missions and forcing you to engage with specific mechanics but the inconsistency makes it annoying. This is the reason why I'm trying to push through. One witness mission (that you described) was scripted so you'd have to confront the guy hanging from the ledge and get a cutscene. The other mission (that I think the other guy was talking about) you somehow manage to punch a guy to death in self-defense and this causes a witness to spawn and run at warp speed towards two lawmen who spawn around the corner. These are both inconsistent with what happens in the world outside of missions. My hope is I hit Chapter 3 and everything becomes consistent instead of the per-mission hidden rules changes.

You can save on horseback, at camp or in hotel rooms. If you have to reload you'll respawn a bit away from where you saved with everything intact. I had nabbed me a legendary animal up around Window Rock and was heading towards the trapper, at his makeshift stand up in the woods. A long ride, but definitely worth it. En route I came across this feller tracking a bear, so I hopped off my trusty steed and tagged along, just for the hell of it. Wouldn't you know, he found the bear, freaks out and gets mauled. I'm able to put it down, but not in time to save him. Now, I'm not going to trade my legendary carcass for a messed up bearskin. But it would be nice to bring it along, you know? So I found his horse a little ways away and calmed it down enough to be able to get the bearskin and myself on it. Then I gave my own horse the command to follow. And it worked! So here I am, a one man/two horse convoy carefully trotting along the narrow paths through the dense forest. For a little while there I felt like the king of the dirt road. That is, until the wolves attacked. A whole darn pack of 'em. My borrowed horse immediately bucks me off and bolts. No worries, the bear pelt was of poor quality anyway. I finish off the pack with my trusty sawed off while my horse hang back at a sensible distance. Good boy. I skin the first wolf and whistle for him. There are train tracks. We're on opposite sides. And there's a train a coming, literally 'round the bend. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that in a game of chicken between a horse and a train, the train will win. Every. drat. time. So yeah. Save often. And watch out for wolves. And trains. I got my horse and my legendary back. But the hunter, his horse and the bear was gone, almost as if they never existed in the first place. I like this game.

Danith posted:The only main mission I have now is the one where I go to Blackwater, yet Blackwater is still a red zone. Should I go there anyways or do I need to do more open world stuff before the red zone wears off? Go there, just stay off the roads. Lawmen are out in force, but you're an outlaw. You'll outsmart them.

I did all of that until the waiting part. Found two guys out back behind like the general store who I said hi to. They said something really lovely so I said something lovely back. They pulled out guns and I pistol whipped both of them; people freaked out. I stood there waiting as the law came. Jail for the night and $6, and my horse was waiting in the morning. Had no idea Javier had something for me! Oh well haha

I just got drunk with Lenny. Woke up, puked my guts out, and the only stamina restoring thing I had was some brandy. Little hair of the dog and I was right as rain. That mission was amazing, although I guess it could have taken a darker turn if I'd chosen to drown that dude I was dunking in the horse water.

I guess if I was allowed to do that there'd be people making 100 horse convoys but that wouldn't be that bad a thing. I also think I should be able to store more stuff on horses I'm not riding. For that matter. If I steal a carriage I should be able to load tons of stuff in there.

Online is going to be grindy as poo poo, but I'm really looking forward to it. Going out on a hunting trip with buddies, causing some mayhem in a saloon. Shits gonna own. Whats the player cap in GTA online? Hoping we can get some decent numbers squeezed onto a server here, the worlds so massive.

Anyone know how to access your journal? I saw it in chapter one and am in chapter 2 now and can't find it for the life of me. I've searched every inch of my living space in the camp and combed through all the menus. I got a message saying "journal updated". But where the hell is it??

Just move your games to an external hard drive then hook that sucker up to the new system and you can play them as soon as you're logged in. S'what I did.

Okay so how do I unlock stuff in the gunsmith? A lot of the weapons are showing as locked currently which is fair enough, but if I have to find them in the world before they unlock in the gunsmith, why would I ever buy one if I've already picked it up?

The control schemes are in the settings menu. I didn't see them at first, but they're there. Press x/a somewhere in the control settings tab. They're really annoying, cause they cycle between "on foot," "on horseback" and ... "social" (I think) so fast that I struggled to keep up. Had to watch them loop several times before I got all of it

You can give all your money to the gang and then turn yourself in to clear the bounty. If there's a way to take the money back or spend out of the gang's coffers then I haven't discovered it yet.

Pylons posted:Extremely important tip: Double-tap L1 (or LB) with a revolver out to spin it before you holster it. That is important. How the hell are people supposed to know this? It isn't covered at all in the tutorial. Nolgthorn posted:The jank is pretty bad. I tried to take a sick guy who couldn't walk to the doctor but I needed to chase down my horse because it wandered off and didn't listen to me. When I got back the dude was nowhere to be seen, I was something like 50 meters away. More Jank: Saved a game before I made an attempt on collecting a bounty. Tried the bounty, but it seems that huge, billowing dresses and pointed socialite boots confer infinite stamina, because a woman wearing just that outran my rugged outdoors-man (who doesn't smoke.)

I got one by headshotting one with the Varmit Rifle. You can also craft a talisman that raises the quality of all your skins/pelts when you skin.
