ok so I hunted a legendary bear at the very first opportunity it seems and now I'm at a loss as to what I'm supposed to do with this pelt. the butcher in valentine won't take it in spite of the game and internet saying he should. I looked enough to find that you can take it to a trapper to exchange for equipment but I've not got that far yet. I also learned that pelts go bad eventually

is this thing just gonna rot on the back of my horse while I'm incapable of doing anything with it? I'm a little mad about this tbh

Pelts don't rot, only whole carcasses do. The first trapper location is just a little southeast of the legendary bear's territory and there should have been an easily missable popup about him after you killed the bear.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the gun Smith robbery in the Saint Denis. Ideally I'd like to do it with as few deaths as possible.

I've only seen the warning about rotting when I was carrying a whole deer around for a few minutes. I've carried a large hide and a half dozen medium hides through multiple missions before getting around to turning them in.

So what the gently caress does the Legendary Buck Trinket do anyways? It supposedly improves the quality of harvested pelts but I've never seen it do that once. I cleanly killed a bunch of two star animals and got 2 star pelts. I then tried messily killing some 3 star animals to see if it helped with that, and no, I got 1-2 star pelts depending how messy I was. What does it actually do?

isn't this the one that keeps carcasses from rotting, while they're stored on your horse?

Is there a party in Chapter 3? Is the state of the camp significantly changed in Chapter 4? Do those that spent a lot of time in camp feel like we may be able to get the "relationship kickoff" kind of conversations with John, Abigail, and Sadie in chapter 4 if we haven't seen them in camp yet?

As someone afflicted with The Bug that spent hours and hours in camp learning backstories and relationships I have been paralyzed, unable to replay 30 hours worth of content and conversation but unable to walk through camp in my current save without being reminded of what's missing. Having such a deep connection with the camp and knowing I'm missing the most crucial characters is strangely gutwrenching. The Sophie's choice would be easier to swallow if I wasn't going to miss the four characters (three, really) at another party and I could have similar regular interactions and witness the same organic conversations in Chapter 4.

I'm aware all this outcry seems strange to some that are kind of neglecting camp but for those in the know there is a TON of conversation/arguing/storytelling if you keep all the supplies up at camp, do chores often, and spend a lot of time there. I know life stories, anecdotes, interpersonal relationships, etc. of what should be tertiary characters while 3 main ones are wholly absent in context of the day-to-day of the gang.

I think it probably affects the spawn rate of of 3 star animals but that's hard to tell for sure.

It definitely can up the quality of pelts. Numerous times i've gotten perfect pelts from 2 star animals.

I've passed the prologue on a new save but ultimately I have to think the game keeps track of the tremendous, absurd amount of unique dialogue in camp and it's going to kind of wreck things when/if I have to hear a shitload of conversations I've already sat through in between redoing the hours of mundane poo poo did out in the world again (I did every piece of side content available through mid-Chapter 3 and tons of other stuff in between). This game is really designed, from a story and immersion standpoint, to be experienced for the first time. The game is a chore when it comes to being a game outside of goofing around, if that makes sense.

hi, it's me, your uncle
Despite my Arthur being a glowing, virtuous, and downright chivalrous outlaw, each time I talk about my **~feels~*~* with Mary Beth or Tilly, Arthur keeps talking about how he's descending deeper into psychopathy. Talking about how he kills animals needlessly, is growing more and more violent for no reason, etc. Yet, I give rando dum dums who got snared in their own traps or bit by snakes the good medicine out of my satchel.

Is this bizzaro world?

I mean, you kill roughly 800000 people per story mission and probably a lot of good animals along the way too, and the necessity behind the carnage becomes more and more questionable so I don’t think it’s a weird thing for Arthur to say

WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!


So far the most surprising camp conversation that you can listen in on and/or participate in was Charles (in chapter 3) talking in incredibly halting, pained tones about how he doesn't know what to do besides killing even though it isn't right and he just doesn't know and such. If you interact with him when he stops, Arthur tells him that he's probably the best man that he knows, and Charles says that says pretty terrible poo poo about Arthur right there.

I thought that was one of the better conversations that I almost missed.

I've also enjoyed watching the preacher's descent into morphine/alcohol induced madness.

I'm hoping this continues into the other chapters, I'm really digging the random camp poo poo you can listen in on. Even the women fighting with each other is pretty interesting.

To put things into perspective 90% of the time the women just sit and don't talk to each other in my game, likely due to the absence of the other characters. Until I found out about the bug I found it super weird that the men had all these conversations and the women were silent.

Most of the women fighting is between Karen and Susan, honestly, and I don't think those two are affected by the bug. Kind of everyone and Susan but mostly Karen and Susan with probably Mary Beth and Susan in second place.

Does she have a lot of banter in early Chapter 3? The last story mission I did was the one where you go into town with her and get in a shootout with some fuckers ont he way back and while she's spending more time around everyone in camp now rather than moping just outside of camp, the only interaction i've seen her really have was the fight with Pearson that started that mission.

I've spent 20 hours hunting and fishing and doing general nonsense since then and haven't done story in quite some time, though.

Not a ton that I saw, the development for her that I really like comes later. If you're close to the end of chapter 3 (it's pretty long so may be hard to tell) maybe you should just push through because from all accounts i've heard the "missing camp members" bug fixes itself once you start chapter 4. You can always look up all those convos on youtube i'm sure, i know that kind of sucks but I would personally prefer that to starting the game over

I encountered a ranch in the north today with three ranchers and a big corn field. I went to rob them so I ended up killing them all but when I went into one of their livestock houses there was a dead cow and a dead man in there. Maybe they murdered him? Also they have a scarecrow and you can shoot its hat off and wear it. Owns
