So far I've seen "idiots lights themselves on fire while trying to burn a cross" and "two idiots crushed to death while trying to put up a really big cross". Okay that is pretty hilarious, but I killed the KKK with dynamite.

So I did the early quest where you go hunting with Hosia. I then stayed and fought a legendary bear, which involved me shooting it as it ran up to me, being mauled, somehow knifing it a bunch until it reared up, and then shooting it in the face, causing it to die with me having a tiny sliver of health left. Drinking a health potion on the horse ride back to camp seems to have healed the giant gashes in my back, as well as fixed my shirt. Unfortunately it seems I can't offload this pelt unless I go to some trapper, so I guess I'll have to ride out again. On the way back I heard a guy yelling. He was being mauled by a wolf. I scared the wolf off by shooting it like 6 times, which somehow didn't kill it. Must have been a powerful wolf. I tried to give him a health potion, and he said "I'm bleeding out! That won't help!" and then, just as he said, he bled out. I looted a good quality badger pelt off his corpse. I'm guessing that was just some random event and not a quest I hosed up on by not shooting the wolf fast enough.

Something that I'm finding interesting is that I'm being like, way more of a dick in this game than I usually am in games that give you moral options. Like I'll help out people if they ask, but the second someone steps to me or puts the gang in jeopardy in some way, I ice them, no questions asked. And even when I do help, its usually with an asterisk. Like yeah, I'll save you from a wolf attack or something, but don't ask me to give you something for your wounds. poo poo's hard to come by out here, son.

Finished some mission and went to head to another place, and one of those wagons full of dudes shooting at you appeared and immediately murdered me. No big deal, wake up with $150 lost, but my saddle is sitting on the ground and the backup horse is here. So I put the saddle on the old horse and assume my War Horse just spawned back at camp or something, but I wasn't heading there so I went about my way. Played for an hour then stopped by a stable. War Horse wasn't listed at all. I assume he's just permadead then? Or is it assumed he was stolen and they just left my saddle for me? Seems like an odd mechanic but I got the black Arabian in Saint Denis and named him Shep.

People who complain about no bonuses for being a bad guy are still dumb but it is legitimately awful that I can get a bounty on my head for defending myself against O'Driscolls who start pumping me full of lead in the middle of town.

Hand-to-hand fighting is fun as gently caress when you get good at it. I pick fights constantly now just to beat some rear end because it's such a hoot. Oh also, all the people sad that there isn't a Nigel West Dickens in this, the man you want to meet is Charles Chaternay the painter. He's your new NWD.

Has anyone actually received the double-action revolver from the GTA online challenge? From what I was reading, it's supposed to be in your saddlebags after chapter 1, with a gold finish and pearl grips standard. I'm most of the way through chapter 2 and I don't have it yet. I filed a ticket with R* and got a form letter reply saying that I have to complete the challenge in GTA, which I did months ago.

Here's a better example. In Saint Denis you can stab a cop in a back alley with no witnesses instantly kill him and instantly become wanted.

I wish it didn't auto change weapons on you. I saw a guy lose his sweet horse, so I went after it. I tried calling it down but it kept running away. I eventually lasso'd it thinking I'd pull it close so it couldn't run. Brilliant! Except I tried to mount it and it threw me. When I got back up I figured I'd lasso it again! Nope, auto changed to my pistol when I hit the ground and boom, dead horse. I feel bad for the guy.

I guess that's unique to cops because I've done a bunch of robbing and murdering in nighttime St Denis and most of the time there's not even a witness to worry about. Don't kill lawmen I guess, if you're worried about bounties (you shouldn't be, hell the game rewards you for racking them up)

The bear also barreled into me and I thought "welp, I wasn't exactly expecting to succeed anyways" but then while I was getting mauled a button prompt popped up, which I proceeded to mash, causing me to knife the bear, which lead to it rearing up, time slowing down, and me finishing it off with a shot to the head. Maybe you didn't have a knife equipped so you didn't get the chance for the prompt? It's goofy that this game, which has this annoyingly heavy focus on realism where you have to keep your horse clean and fed and poo poo, also allows you to heal from grievous bodily wounds through eating food. Like, you'd at least think they'd make you go to a doctor or something (though I'm happy they don't; I already wish I could ignore half the "realism" mechanics). People mentioning murdering folks; I mistakenly murdered a couple O'Driscolls by pistol whipping them. They started fist-fighting me, and in the middle of the fight I suddenly started pistol-whipping them instead of punching. I'm not sure why, guess I must have pressed some button. It was apparently lethal. I never found out if anyone found the bodies, because while leaving the scene I mistakenly jumped onto some other guy's horse (I was trying to greet him, but forgot to hit L2 first while close to his horse, causing me to jump on it), causing him to start yelling at me about stealing his horse. Even after I returned it to him! I didn't want to get in trouble, so I shot him in the head. Somehow, despite being in the middle of loving nowhere, there was a group of lawmen hanging around nearby to witness the crime. They killed me. I then reloaded my save, because I don't feel like dealing with the consequences of that poo poo. By the way, is there any harm from your camp's ammo and medicine stores going into the red prior to unlocking the ledger? Mine are both red, but I can't donate ammo/medicine yet.

Depends on if you're leading or following. If you're following someone you always have to hold X/A to keep following. If you're the driver/leader, cinematic mode drives for you. edit: oh you mean custom waypoints, I dunno how those work.

veni veni veni posted:I feel dumb even having to ask this. BUt is there a way to pull the reigns on the horse to get it to stop with it awkwardly spinning around? don't pull back on the stick when you press R1. your horse will slow down and carry on facing the direction you were in. same with left stick, there's legit no reason to push or pull the stick, just press x to speed up, r1 to slow down. veni veni veni posted:Why is the random combat literally 10 times harder than the story stuff? Like, I’m trying to take out this enemy hideout and it just seems ridiculously unreasonably hard. don't underestimate sneaking tactics. getting a vantage point and scouting a camp out, then coming up with an attack plan can make a world of difference. there's almost always a few outliers you can take out silently with throwing knives or a bow or stealth kills. then once poo poo gets crazy and they've spotted you, constantly be behind cover, and take opportunistic shots at men running across open ground. don't just stand in the open firing at them like a madman. uncle w benefits posted:How long do I have to wait to retry after failing a legendary animal?

I think this is why some people are able to two shot it with the shotgun, and others (like yourself) probably can't cause you've used the shotgun a total of 6 times.

Kalsco posted:Similarly, the very early mission with Hosea that unlocks the fence: I left all the drawers open lmao, nothing happened. story missions are usually pretty safe. though I did threaten the sleeping dude with a knife and then knocked him out. Professor Funk posted:Also, I'm loving terrible at hand to hand combat and I can't figure out why. Is it just poorly designed or am I really bad at the game? square blocks, but holding it drains stamina. so you can be a badass MMA fighter and time your blocks to when they swing to conserve stamina. if you block an attack, you can really quickly press circle to counterattack, which is usually a meaty hook that hurts them a lot. don't just spam circle though, cause they'll eventually block you and counterattack back. grabbing seems to work better on some opponents than others, a lot of people I fight tend to just break my grab attempt, unless I've already beaten their head in quite a bit. then once they're grabbed, you can choke them to death, or beat them til they're unconscious. so just alternate between blocking / dodging with square, counterattacking with circle, grabbing once they're sufficiently beat up and then finish off with a beat during grab. Slim Killington posted:Hand-to-hand fighting is fun as gently caress when you get good at it. I pick fights constantly now just to beat some rear end because it's such a hoot. I get into brawls all the time cause it's amazing health core XP, and fun to boot. taking on a mountain of a man and just dancing circles around his backwater village rear end is great. you might be big, son, but there's a reason I've gotten to the ripe old age of 35 (or however old) as an outlaw. Ytlaya posted:By the way, is there any harm from your camp's ammo and medicine stores going into the red prior to unlocking the ledger? Mine are both red, but I can't donate ammo/medicine yet. bear one-shot me too at full health. as for the red ammo / medicine / food icons in camp, that just means they're out of stock. nothing bad, but it's a nice indicator to let you know if there's anything you can loot at them, and also signals when (and if you want) to restock them. it's not necessary but since you regularly go back to camp, it's nice to have a one stop shop for all your stuff you can grab. I'm gonna take a pic of Arthur next time I get thrown in jail. every time the it transitions to him lying in bed, his face turns bronze and he looks like Han Solo in that one scene
