The fact that they had a working travel system, threw it out, added in a penalty for not manually horsing everything, then either failed to implement it or doubled down and just had it screw up a lot... is the reason why I just took 30 minutes to get between two farms. If I hadn't taken over manually at some point I'd imagine coyotes would have eventually killed me. Whomever designed random travel deserves to burn in hell with the same guy who thought the same button to talk should be aim weapon.

Im glad the concessions they had to make to get the dollar of morons like you ended where they did, though i wouldve liked to see what the original game looked like before the qa halfwits reminded them that they had to make games for the stupid, as well as the rest of us

Fun little tip for when you're starting off on Chapter 4 if you go back to the Braithwaite manor you can find and loot Catherine Braithwaite's charred corpse! You'll also find a lot of Braithwaites that are still alive somehow and will attack you on sight, and you will get a bounty for shooting them, so much so that it costs more than the loot you get off her corpse, but it's still a nice attention to detail

So for turning yourself into the sheriff to get rid of a bounty, the first time I was going to do that was in Valentine before I'd done any bounty hunter missions. I walk into the sheriff's office to surrender myself and trigger a cutscene where the first thing the sheriff says is "and I'm sure you didn't walk in here to surrender yourself" or something along those lines. I laughed.

So the contextual action to kick doors seems to always exist but is it ever actually useful outside of preset story things? There's not a whole lot of breach and clear to be done in the game so far.

Also systemic question; when you rob the back room of the doc in Valentine, will it actually care if you're standing in view of the door slit? I was by the grandfather clock and basically out of sight but the guy at the door said "It's just the doc" and that seems exactly like the sort of poo poo it'd pull.

It didn't matter for me, I was in full view of the door slit with my gun pointed at the docs head the whole time. I thought for sure they would see me.

How do I rob a train outside of a mission? Ride up and jump on or what? Does it get unlocked at some point?

Am I correct that the best way to farm honor is do a bunch of catch and release? Is there a limit on how much honor you can get from a fishing sesh?

Just make sure it's a passenger train before you do it. I accidentally robbed a freight train (I was riding my horse next to the tracks when a train came up behind me so I jumped onto the engine right away to get to the engineer since it was right there without checking the train) and got nothing but some canned food for my troubles and a humongous bounty.

best way to rob a train is still taking a ride to riggs, stealing the train, and parking it on the bridge

You can get a ton of honor when you get to Saint Denis by just greeting everyone on the street. It's really funny(and effective).

The shopkeepers seem to be immortal, I threw a knife into the Valentine gunsmith’s face to keep him from snitching and he was fit as a fiddle when I came back a few days later.

Walked out of the place with a $2 bounty for disturbing the peace because I opened the safe with dynamite.

My early habits were kicked off by "Wow! I get a FREE thing from the general store-Oh, so I'm not good enough to get (certain) CLOTHES for free :mad: "

In turn, this surplus of early game honor has developed an amusing (To me at least) tradition.

Before the heavy hand of the script requires I make life miserable for the locals, I buy the high honor outfit at the general store five minutes before the bodies start piling up. "With you in a minute, fellow gang member. I've got some shopping to do before your shenanigans slap me with a $300 bounty"

I'm getting a head start on that in chapter 3. This time around, I was allowed to actually use my life saving freebie on the local good boy outfit :buddy:

It probably says a lot about Micah, that I got a $300 bounty in begrudging combat freeing him from Strawberry. And a $60 bounty for seeing how many headshots I can fit per deadeye in Valentine over Dutch's gently caress up

when I picked this kid up and was riding him back home, he kept swinging his pistol and aiming at everyone, and I couldn't tell if it was a bug or not. he'd spin around in his seat to do it and it looked so funny. people would also get freaked out.
