Please stop crying about the game ''punishing'' you for playing as a bad guy. Did you expect stores to offer a discount because you're a piece of poo poo?

Here's a hint: Being a murderer is its own reward because you get to kill and then rob everyone.

Or... You could offer benefits like more money during robberies and more fence items when looting. Both of which make sense for a piece of poo poo to get.

Yeah I don't know. I make a lot more money robbing people, stealing horses and killing than I do with any other action that isn't a story mission. The only thing I'd like to see is situations where your very black reputation means people are more likely to just fearfully surrender their poo poo and not fight back.

Sorry, guy.
So, I've played a few hours, but given my weird work-life schedule, haven't done much but wandered around... Boy is it serene!

A couple questions:

1) Everywhere I go, I greet people, and (I'd say, maybe more than 50% of the time) I'm treated like the devil incarnate. (Cowering blind beggars when I approach to give them money, people saying poo poo like "No more of that, thank you!" and "You just watch yourself!"
Also people who are outright hostile. One dude on a horse riding into town I tried to say hi to him (that is, I DID say hi to him) and he pulled a gun on me. I put him down. (No, I wasn't already holding a weapon, and no, I haven't been committing crimes (just the bar brawl, in a whole different town.) Am I doing something wrong or is this standard behavior? Just wanna make sure I didn't opt for the "gently caress ALL YALL" DLC T Shirt or something.

2) Hosea took me out to that Legendary bear and I gave it a go. Hosea decided to give up, gave me the map, and I tracked the bear. It killed me, viciously. How do I, like... re-track it? Do I just wander around the area? All trails and clues are gone from the "path" I was on before.

It's kind of like the Michael therapist sessions. Arthur kind of talks about all the "bad" poo poo he did. But like you said, if you hunt a lot to keep the camp fed and to make nice things for it, the game doesn't account for context. So it's like he just went out in the while and murdered little woodland creatures for the hell of it. That part of the game, while neat, just doesn't work for that reason.

Do satchel effects stack or do I have to pick and choose?

Yeah there's a few conversations in the camp that are a little weird, like they've been designed with the assumption you'll be playing pretty kill happy and not giving a poo poo about the camp. Had the main lady chew me out for not contributing when the ledger is "Arthur Morgan = $2000, Micah = $45, everyone else = $2 each" and I've bought all the upgrades available as well.

Maybe, I've done quite a lot of them though and it's sorta like "come on, I'm like, the big boy of the gang, you really gonna have a go at me for not carrying these small hay bales across the camp or chopping 5 logs between going out and robbing trains/banks/stagecoaches or helping the other members out of whatever dumb bullshit they've gotten themselves stuck in this time?". It's a bit weird.

There is a post office worker that will give you stage coach tips. Gang members in camp will take you out rustling and robbing, but I think they only give you those options every now and then or maybe in the afternoon?

I'd hit it with my double barreled shotgun and it didn't stop so I switched and went dead eye.

Also all my guns were in bad condition for a long time because I wasn't aware of that mechanic until well into the game. I was like "this dual pistol poo poo isn't very good" as I went BANG... pause.... pause... BANG.... in every fight. Just on this, clean your guns after going into swampy areas it will demolish them.

oh, I got into a bar fight in valentine. I tried antagonizing that fuckin annoying mountain man guy, the one who gets drunk regularly and slanders everyone, but the option to antag was greyed out. so I bullied the guy next to him, we got into a fist fight, and mountain man came in swinging, which I found surprising, seeing as he's such a riotous oval office to everyone normally. I quickly knocked the first guy out, and then went toe to toe with the beast. he's tough as god drat nails. then someone ran to the sheriff cause I was disturbing the peace (fair enough), and the sheriff stood and watched us duke it out, telling us to stop (I was bracing for the inevitable bullet spray he'd do, but he didn't). right as I knock the mountain man on his rear end, the sheriff pulls his pistol and I surrender. that was a really fun bar fight. I loving hate that racoon-hat wearing peckerhead, but credit where credit is due, the man can fight. we were hammering away at each other for five minutes, no joke, just ducking and weaving and he'd slam the poo poo out of my face. first ever fist fight that drained my stamina and left me unable to block or dodge.

Haha you missed that coon hat brah
