Ainsley McTree posted:I’m still early in the game but stressing over getting perfect pelts/carcasses by killing the right animals in the right way is sounding like kind of a chore. Is anything interesting locked behind it? Or if I don’t care about Challenges or money, is it something you can just safely not think about? I think a lot of this game can be summed up as, if you're not having fun, don't do it. Like Spider-man was designed for everyone to %100 it and enjoy it and it was super easy to do. This game really isn't that. Do something because you want to do it, don't do it if you're just worried you won't get a unique hat that probably doesn't do anything. I've spent most of my time in this game just looking around and listening to people. There is a lot of great dialog and moments and character in it all.

so i was doing some exploring in the far north, explored a cave or two, did some good o' driscoll shootin, and in the process got separated from my horse. I had just changed into my winter coat so I was safe from the elements for now but i was far enough from my horse that making it back was going to be impossible in the snow (by which i mean i didn't want to because I'm lazy). I was wandering through a snowstorm near a frozen lake and I saw a brilliant white horse across the ice. I spent 20 minutes trying to calm it enough that I could jump on, chasing it all around the lake as it got spooked and ran off. finally i'm ready, bareback on my white stallion, feeling like i can actually get out of the cold and back to civilization when I see the tracks of a legendary white buffalo. I track it down and chase it across the lake, taking shots with my rifle as I can. The last shot makes it collapse off the ice into the lake and I watch the buffalo sink into the icey water. I didn't know that any of this poo poo was up here, I was just poking around. this game is fuckin good

I coulda sworn the 'time your button presses for no stamina loss!' prompt popped up on your way for the tutorial stage coach theft to unlock the fence. But yes, file it under "Blink and you'll miss it while trying not to steer into a small bridge's railings or insurance scammer pedestrians" CuddleCryptid posted:I have tried to be a good guy and it sucks. One time I saved a stagecoach from being robbed by bandits, and tied them up rather than shooting them. On a whim i threw one on the back of my horse and decided to take him to jail for his crimes. Three mins later I am riding through town and get gunned down for kidnapping the dude.

I figured he might drown, so I picked him up and thought I would put him in the dry dirt so he didn't drown. The whole town flipped out at me "kidnapping" him. I also found a guy in chains and a prison outfit asking for help. I lasso'd him and thought I'd take him into the sheriff. A dude saw me, and reported me for kidnapping. I had to chase him down and beat him up. I just want to be a force for good ;_;

Any tips for options in the Rhodes optional basement rescue quest? For one thing, also noticed for the Valentine back-of-store robbery, it seems you can't break into stores right? Any locked door in a town can't be shot or exploded open, and you also can't jump into the back window of the Valentine shop if you break it for example. Also can't seem to blow up the wood panel repaired side of the building. In general more flexible options to tackle these little things would've been cool. But back to the Rhodes one, I talked to the basement guy from the window outside, went in the shop but the gun store clerk wouldn't talk to me about the basement or anything. So I drew my gun on him, then he starts shooting me so I punch him out. Then cops come and kill me, now the town is locked down. Does the guy need to be scripted to open a locked door etc, or can I just go back in there at some point and walk down some stairs to free that guy?

So infinite horse whistling distance is a cheat code, which means if you activate it, you can't save your game anymore. It also means that it's unlikely to ever be an actual ability you get because Rockstar considers this feature, a feature universally present in every other game with a mount system ever made, to be cheating. Fan loving tastic.

Can someone tell me the mission that kicks off the big point of no return that the poster above mentioned restricting the map about 60% of the way in? Just the location, for whom it is for, and the title would suffice so nothing more is spoiled, if you don't mind. Thanks.

I haven't really had any issues with the inventory, but it took me a bit to get used to using the radial wheel. You just need to get your preferred guns out when you hop off the horse.

This game would have been far better if it had zero connection to Redemption 1.

This is bullshit, really. You shouldn't have to re-equip yourself every time you dismount. If you're already wearing your preferred guns, then you should just keep wearing them. There's nothing simulationist or realistic about this at all. Yes, it's possible to acknowledge and deal with the mechanic, but that doesn't mean it's not an awful mechanic that does anything for the game aside from making it worse.

I was able to do the one in Valentine though.

I take it that if you pull out a gun when someone is attacking you with a knife you get instakilled, thats happened to me twice now. Also ran into a house to save a woman only to get gibbed by two dudes with shotguns  Why is it sometimes I'm nearly invincible then other times I get insta owned. I don't get it to be honest..... still love you rdr2 though

I accidentally picked up a Worn Cattleman Revolver while looting bodies. Now it's stuck in my inventory, and the game likes to automatically equip it into my offhand slot instead of any of my good guns.

I've never run into this except for being caught off guard by a mission switching my guns. I always have my dark metal Schofields at the ready, that sucks that it is loving up your pistol slots.

Ytlaya posted:So like a huge dumbass I blew almost all my starting money on a Varmint Rifle, which I proceeded to pimp out in all the fanciest upgrades. I did this because I was totally sure I'd be able to make that money back by killing small animals. I don't think this plan is going to work out. The varmint rifle is really good once you get the Buck Trinket made from a Fence. It allows indiscriminate slaughter of birds and small game and decreases the odds of getting lovely poor pelts for crafting purposes from the Trapper and the Fence (considering most of the outfits and decorations require Perfect parts from small game and feathers.)

I don't have any issues using anything, the game is just unequipping me and putting other stuff in its place. Like, I'll have my Volcanic pistol in my holster and the Springfield over my shoulder then a cutscene happens and I'm using a Scofield revolver with a carbine repeater over my shoulder and a shotgun on my back. I have to constantly re-equip what I want to use now that I've hit Chapter 3 and there's a few guns in the horse bag. I dislike the way two long guns on my back looks so I never have a second one with me by choice but it always makes its way there.

I can only speak for myself but I find the game is pretty finicky about remembering which guns I'm carrying off of my horse. For example, I'll be on foot, with my repeater and springfield equipped. Then I'll get on my horse and ride around for a while, and then when I get off, I find (but only sometimes) that I am no longer wearing one or both of my longarms and I need to go get them from my saddle again. Yes it's something you can work around easily enough, but it's an obstacle that's newly introduced into RDR2 that wasn't a problem at all in RDR1; I don't care for it. I'd guess that what they're trying to do is make you think more carefully about which guns you're equipping when you venture out on foot, but having arthur periodically forget the choices you make is a nuisance that doesn't add to the enjoyment of the game at all. I still love the game but a problem's a problem

I think the game must have some weird spaghetti code going on with keeping track of your equipment loadout and, and loading it during missions. It sometimes leaves on what you had equipped during free roam, other times it will set you to using your starting revolver and repeater. Like they arbitrarily have event flags unequipping, equipping a specific thing, equipping the start of your list, or leaving it alone. There was also a time where I died during a mission, and when I retried from checkpoint I had no sidearm equipped. And when I got back to my horse my Schofield Revolver was just entirely gone. Saw a reddit post from someone else who had the same thing happen at the same point. So I reloaded my autosave from before starting the mission. Then when redoing it I died again, but it was at a different checkpoint and I didn't lose my gun that time.

I don't think it needs a work around. Arthur slides the guns back into the saddle with an animation for hard riding. I always thought the visual representation of it was so clear that I never forgot to grab a rifle (which only takes a moment) from the saddle.
