It should be noted even though you beat him up he is not dead and he will respawn and thus in Valentine you can get random events of him running up and starting to punch you. May be related to wearing the hat around town like a dick.

Is there a way of turning off putting your weapons away automatically while on horseback? If I equip weapons, I want them to stay equipped. So when I get waylaid by a say, cougar, I can shoot it in the face with the rifle I had equipped for a clean kill instead of fanning my handgun, ruining it utterly. It's probably one of the stupidest aspects of this game.

So the bank code is just a weird usless artifact they never removed. I feel like that may be going on here a bit. They designed it and wrote the manual, then they altered it to make it more simple to hit release and thats probably how it will stay.

Then the three of you sit down for dinner where it's revealed they're loving each other but they're brother and sister. Then you black out after drinking weird liquor and wind up in a ditch with other bodies on a hill near the farm with all of your cash gone. You can go back in the house and waste them and explore the house to get all your money back. It's also implied they murdered their parents and there's a skull in a dresser. Re: Abernathy Pig Farm. Thanks for filling me in! I figured as much from the context clues you mention but didn't get to see everything play out.

I haven't played GTA5 online in years, but you used to be able to call in muggers on anyone in a lobby and if successful they would steal any on hand cash that wasn't banked. It was routine for my group to call in muggers on each other after finishing missions/heists as a comedy option for anyone that wasn't paying close enough attention to the tooltip that notifies the lobby a mugger was called.

It seems a lot like GTA, I guess. I'm really enjoying the fishing and hunting. I am a complete sucker for fishing minigames and this has a good one. Not FF15 good but still great.

Huh. I ordered some hair tonics via the app, but I can't seem to find where to actually use them in game. They don't appear in the lb radial menu under any of the tonic options, nor in provisions. I've used hair tonic once in the past but I've forgotten what I did. I certainly don't remember it being difficult to find.

I love the effort that was obviously put into making this game feel like a world, but I've only played 4 times in 30 minutes increments so far and every time I've stopped playing because I was too annoyed to keep going. It's impressive how intricate, if not realistic, the various systems are, but after dealing with them for the first few times, they become really irritating. I'm likely going to play this game for a hundred hours; I'm very probably going to tire of having to take baths, change clothes, eat and drink, care for my horse and ride everywhere because the fast travel is almost useless in a lot of situations. I'm having flashbacks of the fat/muscle meters in GTA:SA.

Yeah i forget about that but i think there is a limit how much you will drop. At any rate the tooltip still says to bank cash so you dont lose it when you die which doesnt happen. I guess it was planned and then cut. Another good example is the stock market which just doesnt work because they never turned it on but they never removed all that crap from the game or manuals.

Fishing is cool in that doing the “pull the rod up, then reel down” thing that real fishermen do is in the game. Fishing is not cool in that the “it takes 15 minutes to reel in a fish” thing that real fishermen do is in the game.

CordlessPen posted:I'm very probably going to tire of having to take baths, change clothes, eat and drink You really don't have to do any of this tbh. Eat food when your health is low. There's no thirst. I haven't changed clothes since first buying some at the first town. There's no real point to taking a bath beyond "is a thing you can do" since you can just cover your scent with an item when hunting and it's not like you're gonna get a bounty for being stinky (and honestly just jump in the river). Stop worrying about keeping everything perfect and just have some outlaw fun? I totally forgot about eating until chapter 3 and then noticed my dude was underweight but it's not like it really had any noticeable detrimental effect on me for the first two chapters.

I thought you could tell them to flee or stay? Idk my American Standardbred does just fine even when gunfire is flying.

I'm likely going to play this game for a hundred hours; I'm very probably going to tire of having to take baths, change clothes, eat and drink, care for my horse and ride everywhere because the fast travel is almost useless in a lot of situations. There is some understandable confusion over whether or not "+50% core drain'" is a positive or negative (The only change on my player stats horse page before and after was "+2 stats!" instead of "+1 stat"  ) . There are like three +2 stat stirrups and the most expensive one has the highest "+core drain", for whatever that is worth.The game doesn't seem to indicate before you buy seemingly overpriced oat cakes, but they are sold to you 3-4 at a time (same with crackers to shove in your own face). So Mostly remembering to give my horse some apples or whatever when I leave camp or stop to sleep has helped keep them out of the malnourished zone. The stable hand incidental dialogue also implies that if you swap out your horses, they will take proper care of your horse. I wonder if anyone is going to experiment with making their horses overweight, and seeing if the stables do indeed double as a horse gym membership.

Also I'm confused as to why people even care that they have a bounty lol I'll kill people who look at me funny and if the law comes before I'm done I'll shoot them too. All you gotta do is not stir up so much trouble at your current camp site area that you're locked out of the stores at the current town (if you care) but even that takes quite a bit of murdering.

Probably mentioned already but this bug with John/Abigail/Jack/Sadie disappearing from game hit me and gently caress its annoying. No banter, requests, etc, they are just gone from Chapter 2 entirely outside of story missions. According to Reddit the fix for now is to restart and do things in a specific order but gently caress that's a lot of lost time if I do it.

MeatwadIsGod posted:Is fishing gated behind a story mission or something? The last time I looked in a catalog the lures were locked out. It is. Someone mentioned you can mug a fisherman and steal their rod. I can't confirm if that is a thing, however. Dynamite is available after the prologue, if you are so inclined. No idea if you can bag a legendary fish with it, but most likely not considering the hints note fishing at certain times of day/weather with a specific bait.

I've resorted to taking screenshots of the strategy guide on my phone so I can look at it on my computer. Each chapter has a very nice overview of how the chapter flows, and which missions unlock which activities and when they become available. Chapter 2  Chapter 3  If people are interested I can post the later chapters as well. In addition, the bank job in valentine is for the special edition, so if you don't have it and get a conversation about missing it, don't feel bad there is nothing you could have done.

They show up on your minimap way before they actually spot you but even aside from that I just hunted in the Grizzlies last night for at least an hour or so while trying to find the White Bison and no one ever showed up... Maybe it isn't the same 'zone' as Valentine though (where I have like a $300-$400 bounty and plan on never paying it). My biggest issue with bounty hunters is just when I'm not paying attention and gallop right into a group of them on my way somewhere.
