There’s just one more and it’s a conversation. Those ones aren’t the best, really, but I think he’s meant to be one of the first strangers you meet, so it’s an introduction to the concept, maybe

It just seems bizarre to me that they included this five part stranger quest that's just so bland and pointless. Like the weird incidental stuff that you run across in this game is more engaging than these.

I missed so much I just said gently caress it and am doing a second playthrough going ultra-methodical this time. Now that I'm not busy trying to figure out how to play, I'm enjoying these early sections sooo much more now.

Same, I'll probably start again using first person mode more, focusing on side quests, and generally engaging more with the story. I really wasn't into Arthur's character because he felt entirely reactionary up until chapter 4/5, so seeing him grow later makes me more fond of him

I'm not thinking of anything!
Does anybody have any idea where you can reliably get animal fat? I slaughtered an entire field of cows and didn't get a single bit of it.

I've heard pigs regularly have it but I don't know where any pig farms are. Aberdeen was uhh... a bit misrepresented on that map to say the least...

I'm at the point right now where I'm perfectly willing to wipe out an entire farm and the people that work on it just to get my precious animal fat.

Waterfowl like ducks are great for farming fat. They often appear in flocks so you just deadeye the lot of them with your varmint rifle.

I guess getting taken for a fool plenty of times during RDR1 lead me to suspect that something was up when I came across a lady on the ground calling for help.

I've stopped for plenty of strangers earlier in the game, and I usually draw on them after initially greeting them. If they're asking for help with something their reactions to me pulling my gun will usually give me a heads up on if they're being honest or not.

This lady sees my repeater and starts to tell me if I'm not going to be a gentleman then she won't be a lady. Before she even finishes her sentence I dead eye her and the two dudes on horseback coming over the hill.

Not today, bandits.

There was a stranger like that where I could tell from the voice acting they were full of poo poo. That was a cool moment.

Yeah but this happens in more than just this mission and is a common complaint. Im just saying after the game i dont have these problems like i can shoot someone in st denis if they shoot first its fine. The reactions of police and the wanted syetem makes sense again after the game. I mean think about you defend yourself in town you just got in a shootout as the most wanted in america while you are supposed to be hiding.

You can find a hiding spot like tall brush and wait out the authorities, then loot to your hearts content.

yeah you can kick any animal to death, I lassoed a bison and kicked it to death, but ruined it's pelt in the process and failed the mission with javier as a result.

also, my first time in saint denis was pretty awful too, saw a black guy getting beaten by a cop, went to intervene with circle, but the prompt passed just as I hit it, and I ended up decking the officer. what ensued was an hour long escape as I was swarmed by officers that refused to let me surrender, and man is the city big. I couldn't ride off because every time I tried, my horse took way too much damage so I had to run through the streets blasting my way out. got to the bridge leaving the city through the swamp, called my horse, hopped on, and then a group of 6 lawmen ride head on at me and almost kill my horse.

I then had to ride out of lemoyne with a tonne of bounty hunters on my rear end, and every village I stopped at to turn myself in would always end up firing at me straight away so I was unable to. st denis is loving brutal.

also, is predator / herbivore bait working for anyone? every time I use it, nothing is attracted, no matter how long I wait (I also use the cover scent oil). I plop it right down in the middle of the animal icon on the map, and nothing ever comes.

You actually don't get skins from kicking an animal to death, instead Rockstar sends an email to your mother telling her that she didn't hug you enough as a child.

It only works if the animal has spawned, I think. Just because you're in its general area doesn't mean it's spawned. If you look around and see a cougar and don't feel like stalking it, you can plant some predator bait and hide and it'll eventually wander over and eat it. Same for herbivores, although there are too many of them to be useful and you probably won't get that 3 star elk you wanted and instead you'll get a 1 star deer or some poo poo.

That's how it seems to me at least. I haven't looked it up in the strategy guide because I haven't felt like I needed it ever.

I had the never ending wolf pack spawning in the buck area. I was up to my knees in a pile of grey wolves.

While wandering in and around that forest trying to get the legendary buck to spawn, I’ve killed 2 bears, 2 cougars, 3-4 rattlesnakes, several wolf packs, an O’Driscoll camp, and untold numbers of boar and other prey. I’ve saved a man from his own bear trap, ran into the sharpshooter dude again, and sat with a drunk who gave me some stories. I’ve camped until morning/noon/dusk/night. I’ve saved-and-loaded. I’ve come in from the east, west, south, and north. I’ve come in on foot and on horse.

At this point, I’m pretty sure I’d have to raze a few square miles to ashes before the legendary buck would deign to show its face.

The people that are trying to trick you also sound insincere as hell. She didn't fool me, nor did that (random encounter minor spoiler, nothing plot related) fucker who stole my horse. That guy still got it briefly because I didn't expect him to pull me off, but I already had my rifle ready with full dead-eye.

The people who actually need your help sound like they need it. Those other fuckers sound fake as hell. I think it's actually good voice acting there.

Found a cabin with an old lady in it who told me go in the basement and drop off the supplies she mistakenly thought I had. She had a lockbox with a Semi-Auto shotgun in it. I stole it and started to leave and she recognized that I wasn't the delivery man, so the crabby ol' bitch gets up and says she's going to get her sons to put me in my place.

When you draw your gun on her to stop, she basically tells you to go gently caress yourself and she's not scared. Tough old bird. I didn't want to shoot her or her sons, so I tried to knock her out with a punch. Not only does she not get knocked out, but she gets up and asks if that's all you got and continues to walk off. Another couple punches and she finally goes down.

Probably one of my Arthur's darkest lowest moments, but hey, free awesome shotgun.

shortspecialbus posted:

The only thing that's still bugging me about bounties at this point is like if the Lemoyne Raiders or any other gangs start shooting at you in St. Denis, you can't even think about fighting back unless you want to fight an entire metropolis of police and have a $1k bounty when you're done. That happens if you stop the attempted rape too. It doesn't happen if you stop an attempted murder though, and I beat up the (super minor spoiler about a specific non-mission character in St. Denis) eugenics guy without any sort of bounty either.

But the game not having any concept of self defense sucks. I yell at some Lemoyne Raiders in St. Denis for (random event spoiler) throwing bombs into a federal building, all four start shooting at me while the police watch, and then if I shoot back the entire city comes down on me to help the Lemoyne Raiders kill me. That aspect really needs to be changed.

Most of the rest of my bounty complaints vanished once I realized that if you just ran/rode away from the area that something happened, you probably wouldn't even get a bounty even if you weren't wearing the mask.

The lawmen won't do anything regardless of what npcs do. It's really stupid.

I really miss npcs randomly getting into fights with each other or the police in gta4/5.

you won't find a legendary unless the popup shows that says "you've entered legendary territory", this means it has spawned and is available to track. I've got to legendary spots and not had this popup, and I have had the same exact experience as you. but when I go to a legendary spot and this pops up, I usually find the legendary really easily. so I usually gently caress off and go do something else for a few days, then go back to see if the thing pops up.
