Ok. I've done a cursory google but is there any loving way to change the HUD size? I can't see those tiny rear end icons with my terrible eyes :(

One might flash red and all I can do is say "Cool." cause I have no loving clue what it does.

Other than the three radar options you get when you hold down on the d-pad, not really.

You could download the RDR2 app for your phone or tablet and use that instead and then just have it close to your face?

Overheard in camp: Ms. Grimshaw telling Mary Beth that her youthful glow will fade and she'll get old, despite the fact that she herself, the old lady of the camp, has marble smooth skin and a rocking set of cans.

I overheard some dude in camp compliment Miss Grimshaw on how she must have been a real looker in her day and then when she thanked him, he proceeded to let her know how that's certainly no longer the case in the most awkward way possible.

So, she gets hers.

Sorry if it's been asked and answered already but I checked the past 10 or so pages and didn't see it.

What decides whether or not a Legendary animal will be available to hunt? Like I've hunted and killed a couple of them, but every time I try to go kill the Legendary Buck, it says that there's too much activity in the area. So far I have tried:

Leaving the area, camping and coming back
Coming back on foot
Killing wolves in the area
Running off/killing O'Driscolls
Talking to the drunk guy and clearing his thing
Going and doing other quests and coming back
Restarting the game

Kind of at a loss for what to do now. I tried googling around but just saw people complaining about the same with no resolution. Bug?

Ride into the area shooting your gun in the air and clear everything out then leave and come back seems to work.

E: by clear i dont mean kill everything i just ride around making sure the herds actually leave i chase them all out.

It does not say what it upgrades in the buying menu at the Stables though, does it? I just spent some money on upgrading my horse stuff (XL saddle bag, blanket, saddle and pummel (?) ) last night, but I thought it was purely cosmetic. Usually it says so when there is an effect (e.g. stirrups, which I upgraded when I first entered the stables). Also I hate how it's so easy to make a mistake there. Everywhere the game makes you press the button for 5 seconds when you purchase or donate anything above a dollar and at the stables you can easily spend 40 buck on a different color saddle (with no stats or worse stats?) when you navigate the menu. I think I accidentally bought 4 or 5 saddles or different saddle colors and I'm usually not an idiot.

When you go to buy saddles or stirrups, the UI help on the right will show you you can click in the Right stick to show info. This'll show you how much of a boost you get from them.

I got jumped by a random event ambush.

I left Saint Denis and after crossing a bridge about 6 guys and a gattling gun just opened on me. I was killed pretty quick.

I would have been OK with this except the game forces you to come to a complete loving halt from galloping when you encounter events (same thing happened when I was racing for a horse challenge and some lady stopped to ask me to race her, Morgan loving slowed down and nearly stopped, gently caress off lady I am in a race already). So my character stops, in the loving open, and I only really regain full speed after I'm being shot at by half a dozen people.

Really frustrating to get killed by loving stupid gameplay mechanics than me being dumb or something.

I don't stress about those little things now because I just swing by a post office and pay the equivalent of a lamb's fry dinner then be on my way. You can murder someone in cold blood in front of an entire population and get away with it for the princely sum of $20. Who said capitalism doesn't work?

For the heinous crime of stealing a box of varmint rifle bullets, acquiring the princely bounty of $.75, the region of Rhodes suddenly crawled in bounty hunters and lawmen. They spent more in bullets than the sum of my bounty. The system works, friends.

I mean it was in an area where I was already wanted dead or alive, so it was pretty moot. I just found myself annoyed at how incongruous it felt. I've played the game pretty much 100% white hat, rarely getting into trouble with the law outside of story missions, so when stuff like this happens it seems all the more frustrating to me.

If the game has a guy in a cutscene say, "please, take this horse" then maybe have a trigger or something so I can check the saddle bags without committing a crime, especially since a further layer of obfuscation is "how the hell does that guy know I'm not rummaging through the saddle bags of my own horse?"

Now that I think about it, it's actually pretty loving cool that Rockstar has crafted such a meticulous and well-realized world that when stuff stands out as "gamey" or "immersion-breaking" it's really jarring. Credit to them then I suppose.

In his defense, there's a lot of things you can do in RDR2 and punch a lot of different kinds of people so while pretty dumb, it likely wasn't his intention to make a video that would directly appeal to the worst kinds of gamers on the planet.

I finally got a perfect rattlesnake skin. It is hard enough to find a snake let alone a 3 star snake. I saw one on the road and tracked it. I was about to shoot it in the head with a small game arrow when it "fell" down a slight hill rolled over and over then died on its own. Didn't damage the skin so I was happy with this bug.

I also like the bird kill field I apparently have around me and my horse. I've collected many birds that just took off and got to close to me and died.They don't even get that close.

I barricaded myself in the Valentine sheriff's office and killed more than 60 people almost completely blocking the doorway. They were stacked up like cord wood. Had to dynamite them out of the way and shot everyone I saw in the face with a shotgun as I rode out of town. This all started because a guy bumped into me as I was walking into the bar and told me to get out of the way.

So obviously I rode to Strawberry, bought a couple of outfits, and then punched the shop keeper so all would be forgiven.

apparently he made a ton off different massacare videos(shooting klansmen, shooting racist preacher,etc) because he is trying to get views. the beating up the suffragette video got the most views because gamers are dumb chud dipshits so he made like 20 more because that made him money. either way he is dumb shithead and doesn't deserve pity.

I named my black Arabian horse Westerly as a reference to our eventual escape back to the west. It was the fastest horse and we would get there together in the end. So my headcanon for that horse dying was loving heartbreaking and I bet other people did the same thing. When the horse died and Arthur was hosed it was the biggest "we tried buddy, thanks for the the effort" moment for me and I was in big tears.

I named my horse in the second run Micah.
