another point I forgot to whine about: I stumbled upon a bunch of guys building a rail line. the head foreman tasked me with figuring out who was stealing money from him. I follow the suspect, retrieve the money, then go back to the rail line. except it's now after bedtime, and all the chinese workers are asleep, the guards are extra frisky, and mr head foreman is in his tent poring over his booby sketches.

the guard tells me to gently caress off, but I ignore him cause uh I'm handing the money back to your boss, dipshit. I go to the boss, target him, and I can't greet or antagonize him. he also tells me to piss off? and then the guards start shooting at me, so I'm effectively left with a quest that has either failed, or is in a state of never-being-completed. so turns out even if the bossman hires you to track down a thief, if it's past curfew, the game doesn't take anything into account and treats you as a trespasser.

So I've gotten to the initial train mission, blow the doors, then captain dick stands in my way freezes so I cant get on the train. Tried everything and no other way in. Restart the game to try again and whoops the last auto save was an hour ago just after rescuing the dude on the mountain :suicide:

Not sure If I want to do all of that again!

except the dialogue at the start of the quest really didn't make it seem like the foreman was taking me on as a productive member of the work force. he used words that said he needed someone vicious to get the job done. i didn't think i'd be held to the same bedtime curfews as his workers, seeing as i was his mad dog let off the leash sort of guy? I also had $100 in my pocket to give him, you'd think he'd be able to stop reading his diary for two seconds to take the cash.

lmao what a limp dick experience the (doctor's) back room poker game robbery is

sat outside town, changed my outfit, put an execution mask on. went in with two revolvers, a double barrel shotgun, dynamite and a repeater. figured I didn't know what I was getting myself into, so I may as well go in heavily armed. get the guy to open the back room up, rob the till, then throw a stick of dynamite into the room. arthur thinks it's great timing to slowly walk out the room, and the dynamite takes me off my feet, but not too much damage. the inside of the room looks like a blender after 7 strawberry smoothies have been made in it. go to loot everything I can, but the loot mechanic keeps on getting bugged, and arthur just stands around for 5 seconds, not letting me move or do anything, until the loot option comes up again and I can loot it.

I go up to the safe and try to use my easy lock tool to open it. no bueno? I lob dynamite at it, and arthur again slowly shuffles to the far side of the room. the blast puts me on my rear end for the second time that day. lawmen are calling outside, saying they know I'm in here. I'm an unknown suspect. I loot everything in the room, then go to leave through the back door (where I conveniently left my horse). I peek through the door slot. I let go. I peek through the door slot. I let go. the gently caress? there's a wooden bar locking the door and there's no way to open it, so I'm forced to leave through the front door (I tried shooting the bar, using my easy lock tool, throwing another stick of dynamite at it, nothing opened it). I bolt out the front door cause I know how loving janky the bounty system is, I ain't about to kill lawmen and end up with a $200 bounty again. the second I step outside, I go from "unknown suspect" to "arthur morgan" and my bounty goes to $27 straight away. I get on my horse and ride off into the sunset. a $200 robbery with a $27 bounty that I could do nothing about, it's just meh.

combined with the jankiness of the looting, arthur's unwillingness to haul rear end when he has to, and the hivemind lawmen AI collective somehow figuring out my identity despite wearing a full hooded executioner's mask turned what should have been a fun and awesome event into a shitpile of an experience. I dumped all my money into the ledger and just cheesed it by walking into the sheriff's office and turning myself in????

nice. I save scummed this and tried a bunch of different tactics. I tried shooting every single lawman to death. $200 bounty. I tried fleeing without fighting, $27 bounty. I tried killing the doctor, no dice. what the gently caress man.

Ha, this is the same robbery I was bitching about. Also I am a PC gamer and I freely admit to being dogshit at shooting on consoles. There were a few times I died from loving up aiming and that's on me, I wasn't complaining about that. But no this isn't my first console game - poo poo, I got to rank 100 on GTA:O on consoles before PC came out. The controls are objectively poo poo that I could see working up to "OK" when you get used to them.

He likes Charles, Hosea and all of the womenfolk! And hes definitely right in hating Micah, guy can gently caress off.

I was watching my roommate play the early parts of this game (a little behind me, I'm nearing the end if Chapter 2 but loving around a lot) and hes going into town unaware that the 'everyone hangs out in the saloon then starts a fistfight' mission was waiting for him then accidentally starts a gunfight when he trips a guy trying to walk to the gunsmith. I assumed he would die when a million townsfolk and lawmen descended on him but the nearby gang came out and actually helped him, and within a few minutes they had literally saved him by killing all of the cops. Of course more showed up and he died because he can barely shoot right but it was cool to see that the friendly AI for gang members is active outside of missions as well.

I still haven't worked out what, if anything, having a bounty locks you out of. I think the game expects you to have a bounty at all times.

A friend told me that you can't steal and sell stagecoaches while you have a bounty, but I'm almost certain that's only if you have a bounty in that specific area and I haven't validated it.

I think it's more like friendly insults for the most part. I get the feeling that the only member of the gang Arthur really dislikes is Micah because he's loving madman.

You definitely can't use the stagecoaches that are always near post offices. They get locked out. That's all I've seen, really.

This reminds me of when I had a 300 dollar bounty in West Elizabeth, I was doing a mission and heard a random encounter start. Went closer to investigate and learned it was O'Driscolls and lawmen fighting each other. Noped the gently caress outta there, knowing my luck they would've all turned on me.

Also, yes, Micah is an rear end in a top hat.

You're not alone. I'm still not sure how it works, to be honest. Even though I'm able to shoot guns out of the hands of suicidal teenagers.

Other than that I'm pretty happy with the shooting in the game. I haven't changed anything, still rocking the default settings. Duck and cover, pop out to auto aim at center mass, nudge the reticle up a little for headshot and duck back behind cover. Switch up cover as they flank and use bullet time if they try to swarm me.
I still die sometimes, usually because I'm not gud and don't bother to get behind cover because there's only four of them.

Btw lost against the train again. Smashed a wagon this time. Gotta learn to look before I cross.

Should i just leave them there?

I accidentally ran into a tree riding my horse and freaked out for a moment because I thought I had killed my horse with severe blunt trauma. But he got up and shook his head, and I fed him a pear and told him he was a good horse and he seemed fine.

However last night when I last played my horse was a female black and white doppled horse, and this morning my horse is apparently a brown male horse. A transgender transracial horse, pretty cool that Rockstar is pushing these progressive boundaries tbh.

Also, and I say this as a broken brained Destiny addict, it's kind of sweet to play a game that isn't concerned with giving you constant rewards for that sick dopamine rush. They've created a world to marvel at and for once I feel satisfaction simply from existing in and experiencing things there, if I get some money or a new gun it's just a nice bonus. Quirky controls aside this could be a strong contender for game of this generation for me.

Drinking with Larry is the best and most frustrating quest so far. I wish the game would just decide if it wants to be a free roam open world game that you react to or a highly scripted movie game. It keeps feeling like someone tricked their way into getting their wild west simulator by hiding it inside of a standard AAA game and the freedom in the game makes the walls that it does have that more frustrating.

Here's a good example, can I not rob closed stores? As far as I can tell the game just lets me jiggle the handle and tells me the store is closed. If I'm playing a rootin tootin cowboy can't I kick down the door, consequences be damned?

The trapper also randomly appears in the woods in little temporary camps sometimes and convinently seems to do so whenever you acquire a legendary pelt -- check the index on the main map and scroll down and make sure there's not a marker somewhere.
