History Comes Inside!
Nov 20, 2004




I keep getting ambushed by a specific pack of o'driscolls who come charging at me on horseback calling me a "tamed Sally", and if I kill them all my game reacts by dumping me to the sky loading screen as if they killed me. No "dead" splash or anything like that and I'm clearly still alive, it just goes through the load and spits me out into the world like a respawn.

What the gently caress.

Arthur is a tired old rear end in a top hat and I like him a lot. I like that I can effortlessly switch between helping randos when it suits me to robbing rich folks of their carts. John Marsten had more of a one-way character arc that made it very clear he was an EX-outlaw.

Maybe you encounter them to close to your campsite? I once failed because I offended some shepherd to close to the camp. Didn't matter that I killed him in 5 seconds, he found the camp and it was game over.

It's happening all over the place. Exact same group with the same canned "it's Dutch's tamed sally, run him down" line as they suddenly appear on horseback and try to kill me.

The random events repeating can be kind of funny. I had the one with the lady from Emerald Ranch whose horse died, and it's like, another one? She either has the worst luck or this is the weirdest scam.

I also killed the guy who challenges you to a shooting contest when I lost, and now he's back from the dead and wants a rematch.

Had a pretty funny moment when I absentmindedly carried a dead raccoon into a small general store after spending days in the wilderness. The proprietor was like "get that thing the hell outta here!" I went back outside and stowed it on my horse and went back inside, then he said "that's better...now how can I help you?"

I'm glad that guy comes back. The first time I encountered him I accidentally fell on top of him with my horse and he got pissed so I had to kill him with extreme malice.

Since gaining honor is such a massive pain in the rear end, a few odd things that gain it that I read about

- killing animals on the first shot
- saying hello to people on the street (every third one is a bump)
- tying enemies up seems to be a crapshoot but sometimes it works

Granted I have done a lot of stuff and it still is floating at zero so you probably just have to grind.

VVV I dont think that is a bump, it just isn't a negative hit. Although it would have been worth it no matter what.

Theres a pretty easy grind to raise honor by just catching and releasing fish.

I hopped onto a train with a mask on and a fresh set of clothes, robbed everyone on the train car, hopped off and ran away and still got a sixty dollar bounty for Arthur Morgan. They didn't see my horse or my face or even my loving clothes and the law just appeared out of nowhere. 😭

I believe this happens because the train guards are considered law enforcement, so if they see you, you will get a bounty immediately. I have not done any testing on this myself though.

I had to kill the bottle shooting guy because after I agreed, the challenge started, I shot a bottle, he promptly yells "What the hell are you doing?!" then proceeded to shoot me.

I came across the snake-bitten guy a second time and this time I gave him medicine instead of sucking out the venom. He seemed much more thankful this time around. Also, and maybe I just missed this the first time, there was actually a three-star rattlesnake in the area that I managed to nab.

Its means you have to wait a full 24 hours before eating wild plants to see any effects from them, I believe. I might be wrong about the full 24 hours though.

I came across some spanish speaking guy who was being attacked by wolves. Apparently, you're supposed to give him whiskey instead of a health cure. He dies if you give him health cure? What?

Health cure is medicine. It's not going to help wolf bites unless you're a video game protagonist. Whiskey doesn't help either (he still dies) but it lets him relax a little

I thought sucking out the venom worked? I did that when I met him and he hobbled away just fine and then he bought me a gun next time I saw him

"Story" sounds like some menu you'd go to to get a story recap or maybe replay old missions, not where you'd go to save the game

speaking of honor, you will lose honor if you do NOT kill an animal you shot but didn't immediately kill.

I shot a perfect elk the other day and was surprised when it ran away, so I ran up to where I had shot it and found a trail of blood which made it about 30-40 foot before the elk fell from the shot in it's neck. I was going to do the right thing and kill it, but for some reason I was having trouble getting the kill button to pop up but then the elk bled out and I saw the little negative honor icon pop up.

press options > press story > press save game > press x > press x to confirm > press and hold circle

since you like to use literally a lot, it's literally a 30 second process just to save the game. i'm pretty sure most people are complaining about how counterintuitive it is.

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.
