I have like 43 percent overall completion but less than 20 percent story completion. These days I only head back to camp to craft a satchel or to give people whatever they asked for. Whenever I'm there I do penance by restocking all the food, medicine, and munitions or by upgrading everyone's tents. The upgrade to fast travel from camp is something I wish I'd noticed days ago. Micah is still languishing in a jailhouse but he seems like Waingro-level dumbass hothead so I have no desire to bust him out just yet.

Whenever your camp moves, do you retain all the upgrades you bought for it?

I upgraded the camp fully in my first playthrough and did not use the fast travel even once. So much time wasted :sigh: I think I took a train twice, stagecoach maybe twice. All other travel was by horse.

Now I realise that you can load up a horse with pelts, buy a train ticket to Saint Denis, and your horse appears with you, still holding all the loot.

Yes. Even the $300 "3 sticks tied together" horse station.

I'm well into Ch. 3 and my completion percentage is 52%. I'm really liking the slow pace.

I'm usually pretty bad about these games because for the first 1/3 I do everything possible, the next 1/3 I and up skipping a lot of stuff, then I just blow through the main plot for the last 1/3. The pace of the game, the solid plot, and the ability to just gently caress off and rob some trains if I want. Arthur is also really fun because despite the fact I make his choices for him, he feels alive when he chooses to help crossdressing foreigners escape the debtors just because he doesn't want to be a bad guy.

Wait, where do you take baths in this game? I just realized I haven't washed my dude since I started. No one's commented yet, but maybe that's because I took a swim recently while treasure huntin'

And in more tales from the frontier...I'm an outlaw who's an outlaws worst nightmare. So far I've stumbled across a couple of morons busy hammering away on a lock box from a wagon they hijacked. I stayed a good distance away and after they succeeded opening the box I shot em both while they celebrated. I took the contents for safe keeping.

You take Baths at inns. Cover Scent lotion and riding in water seem to do the same thing. Even better with the robbed wagons: they're often dynamiting a safe, and if you wait for them to say "got it" then walk up, they'll pull guns on you, tell you to back off, and then blow up because the dynamite was lit.

Walk into the Sherriff's office with your weapon holstered and you should be able to surrender and spend the night in jail to get your bounty cleared.

Just donate any money you have to the camp first.

To be fair, some people started out free roaming as soon as Chapter 2 started, meaning you don't even have access to stables or a brush for your horse. Let alone bounties, fences to sell stolen things, or even a fishing rod.
Just lol if you are grinding out selling pelts to upgrade your camp and buy weapons instead of doing a handful of story missions and getting enough money for most of the game, and handed most things for free.

The best thing to do in St Denis is to body check your way through the doors of the police station and smash all the glass. gently caress the cops.

Yeah but I was responding to a person saying this stuff opens up in chapter 3 when most of it is available before that. I mean I had access to molotovs the first time I sat at a campfire, Blackjack was open as soon as you find the Saloon in Rhodes, fishing opens up halfway through chapter 2 etc.

I just finished the story mode. I'm thinking the trophies that can't be earned after the fact can wait for the PC release, if ever. As with all rockstar games, I just wanted to get through the story asap so I can amass a boatload of cash then start enjoying the environment my way. This time around though, the people who got to chapter 2 and then just started roaming might have the right idea, because that was one long rear end game for this genre.

Kind of a broad question but what items are worth crafting? Are there any non-obvious mats that I should be hanging on to? I'm near the end of Chapter 2 and haven't done much hunting yet beyond just taking out convenient nearby animals and the legendary bear mission that you get really on. Only thing I've crafted is a double holster at the trapper, which ended up being a poor decision because I got one for free like a mission or two later.

The only items that are "worth" crafting are the trinkets and poo poo that the fence can make. Some of them have really good properties, for example the trinket you make from the legendary buck makes it so that animals on your horse no longer decay.

I couldn't get the "turn myself in" prompt to appear, but an elegant solution made itself available

as I was wandering through town, a dude got tossed out of the saloon and died on impact. I looted him, which is a minor crime and set a witness running toward the sheriff's office. I followed him there, he reported the crime, the sheriff went to arrest me for my looting of a corpse, and I promptly surrendered

I had a similar issue - was running around with a $230 bounty for Strawberry related offences but no one gave a poo poo. Some dude insulted me on the street a couple of hours later, so I antagonised him until we had a fist fight and suddenly the Sheriff was interested in me again.

Another side effect was that after I beat the poo poo out of that guy, but before I got arrested, the butcher also decided to have a go and I had to put him down as well. So Strawberry was butcher-less for a few days. He later reappeared with a blood covered face.

That's how long it takes for West World's I.T department to repair the hosts you gently caress up.

I mean if you've played the game for a few minutes it really isn't. I mean if a bunch of posters here have cerebral palsy I'm really sorry for insulting your gameplay abilities but drat.

Look, you walk around a mission where R2 pours moonshine so you can burn a field down. Then you walk into a building where your partner is pouring moonshine to start a blaze, but if you hold R2 it, you fire off a shot, alerting the guards and failing the mission. The game is full of these input mismatches.

As someone who typically has all the interest in or time for a Rockstar SP campaign as I do for the plague and who bounced off RDR 1 a dozen times, this game is really digging its claws in deep with me.

Also I'm sure it's been remarked on but the fact that there are multiple non-headshot instantly fatal hitboxes is really, really good.

Nah the epilogues are cool as hell and are a great way to finish the story. The house building montage and having Uncle and Charles there and Sadie stopping by occasionally was just really nice, even though it was bittersweet knowing what happens in a few years.
