esperterra posted:Avoiding bounties seems to be mostly reliant on making sure you get the gently caress out of the red circle during the investigation phase. In town tho I think it's more likely to get an immediate bounty b/c lawmen are all over the place. Yup, I’ve done a whole bunch of crimes with witnesses and not gotten a single bounty because I tend to peace out ASAP after committing a crime, even without a bandana or a disguise. I even managed to beat an O’Driscoll Boy to death for giving me guff right on the outskirts of town in broad daylight; I didn’t even bother to chase down the witness I just hopped on my horse and got back to camp. No bounty and I went back into town the next day without a problem.

dunno if this has been mentioned but if you aim a weapon at animals it will also show you their rating, making the binocs pretty pointless i didn't test it too much but iirc it only seemed to work with certain weapons like the bow and varmint rifle

Hobo Clown posted:Any tips on robbing the Valentine doctor's side business then? I changed into a brand new outfit out of sight, put on a full face mask (no one in town saw my face and my new clothes), and as soon as I started I had a wanted level and an increased bounty. The increased automatic bounty is also far and away higher than what you get from doing it, so I have no idea why that mission even exists. I don't know, when I did that one it was a complete poo poo show from start to finish. I've done a few others and was just labeled "Wanted: Subject Unknown" though when I evade then change back.

Well yeah, that’s one way to deal with them, but a lot of people in this thread were complaining about how annoying bounties were; we were just pointing out how they’re actually pretty easy to avoid in the first place

Do different horse types react to combat in different ways? I feel like my old war horse stuck around in gunfights a lot more than my race horse does but it could just be my imagination.

I think too many people focus on getting rid of the witnesses and end up staying at the scene of the crime for too long. Easier to just loot your poo poo quick and peace the hell out. e: granted if you're known to lawmen/a witness recognizes you then you may get a bounty easier? I'm not sure b/c I haven't actually had a bounty stick to me yet so I don't think I'm known to law enforcement

PancakeTransmission posted:Just FYI for anyone spending hours trekking out to get the rare white horse - if you don't care about colour, it's the exact same as other Arabians that you can buy from a stable. If you can't afford one, get to chapter 3 or 4 (and stop wasting your time selling rabbit pelts and belt buckles for $1) and you'll have plenty enough. According to that horse database somebody posted the Arabians you can buy will wind up with better health and stamina than the one you just find.

I am remembering once robbing a train and being anonymous until the fuzz showed up and popped me as Arthur. esperterra posted:Only if you have already studied them before, which binocs are useful for with new animals or w/e.

The idea that police recognize your clothes or whatever is not true and is just a rumour posted online. The mask thing is simple. People can’t see through your mask, lawmen can. Doing masked stuff in town is pretty pointless for this reason, since there’s a sheriff and maybe others who can see through it. It’s more for rooting and tooting in the country side.

I mean, it's in the actual manual:  Now, it's possible that's untrue, but it's not "just a rumour". I'm pretty sure you're right about the lawmen though; from what I can tell they have the Power to see through any disguise and instantly ID you.

Hobo Clown posted:I wonder if bounties will work the same online as they did in RDR1. Get a bounty, everyone else in that server gets a notification and you appear on their map, and then whoever kills you gets paid. Seems like there's a lot of room for abuse with that system though so I'm curious if they'll change it. I'm interested in this too because anything where a player can benefit off collecting a bounty off another player seems very exploitable.

People who have issues with the save system and who are also playing on PS4, you can just do what I do: Pause the game. Then go do something else. After your PS4 goes into power saving mode you can come back whenever and resume where you were. The PS4 has got a pretty great sleep mode but I'm unsure about its hibernation mode. Anyway, I think it does this for like, most everything.

Yeah, I haven't had any issues with my PS4's suspend and resume in the two years or so I've had it so the saving stuff isn't a big issue for me. Though it can be annnoying not being able to manual save if you get thrust into a mission without meaning to by walking too close to someone with a yellow icon.

Apparently Rockstar have said they are working on compatibility with Android tablets and phones but the only source I can find that confirms it is this Polygon article from just under a week ago and nothing has changed since then as far as I can tell. quote:A Rockstar representative told Polygon that the company plans to support most modern Android devices with RDR2: Companion, including tablets, and is regularly rolling out updates with additional compatibility.

I have completed every upgrade in the camp, including the weird useless ones like buying a boat, and I'm still salty about my cashflow. I need approximately the GDP of the small nation in my pocket so that every time a O'Driscoll comes by I can pay them 20 bucks to gently caress off

I've never bought a watch and I get the time because I always keep at least one watch. In fact, there is a section just for watches in one of the inventory sections. I think it's the one that contains all the collectable stuff. I want to say like 2nd or 3rd tab from the end (right side).

I wish you could toggle the scope on the Rollingblock rifle like you can with every other weapon you put a scope on. This game feels like it was designed by 5000 people over the course of 8 years and when they quit, the burned all their design documents and the designer after had to guesswork their choices. All the small little things are so utterly inconsistent. Jimbot fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Oct 31, 2018 |

I'm not fully taken with this game yet. Finished the intro section, then rode around in the 1899 sandbox for a while, killing people and stealing wagons. It seems a lot like GTA, I guess. What are some fun things to do? And how do I fast travel?
