I'm sorry that story missions made the downes' ranch abandoned because it was close to the trapper and the only place I know of to get oxen.

I watched a man get kicked to death by his own horse while he was trying to fix it's shoe. I watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs yesterday and the line, "Things have a way of escalating out here in the west" seems to ring very true in RDR2. Also, throwing a head at a serial killer and then kicking his rear end and tying him up to take him to jail, only to have him try and eat the sheriff and taking a bullet to the neck was pretty cool. I hung around afterwards to read the jail ledger and got a 10 dollar disturbing the peace bounty. Is there any other good creepy side stuff like the spoilered bit?

Yes, that mission, so I'm tied up, I assume, and he's saying all the things he's going to do to me, and I get the option to "throw head".
That's a weird way to say "head butt him when he gets close enough" but okay. I am tied up so clearly it doesn't meant "pick up a head with my hogtied hand and throw it"
Well I shouldn't do it now he's not in headbutt range. He is still gloating. I would just throw my head against nothing and he wouldn't lean in for a good head butt later. Oh it took the option away. Oh I just let him murder me. Oh my hands were free and I could have struggled in literally any way including my idea rather than just sit here and scream and he flenses me.


I am not going to say my interpretation of the button press option made perfect sense but I wasn't confident enough to risk it so I died.

My current horse (not sure what breed) does a weird stutter step occasionally so I can't time it's gallop properly. Cassadega is a good horse but I think I'll go back to Arienette, Lua, or Supriya.

God this night time encounter in the Bayou is such bullshit. Where there's a crying lady and you get ambushed by a bunch of knife wielding assholes.

I can take a bunch of health items to have golden bars and cores and still get put down to near death and then the next hit is just fatal. Can't just shoot her beforehand either because it just gives you honor loss.

I'd joke "They learned from you that a knife is an instant kill!" But during "Magicians for Sport" I ended up stabbing an enemy with a throwing knife 20+ loving times before he died :stare:

Now, the guy BEFORE him? Instant death via throwing knife melee. And a guy after him out of spite Inspired by Danaru's hatred of snipers. So god only knows what quirk lead to the most knife resistant man in the country between em.

My top theory is that it was attempting to transition into a fist fight, but the throwing knife in my hands and unyielding flurry of slices made something go screwy. Given how "gently caress it, pull a knife" has always lead to an instant win when I was in the Punch Zone (Though I figure that defaults to the regular melee category), and canned murder animations have always worked with my little baby throwing knives outside of boxing matches.

It would be smarter to just throw em. But it feels hilarious to successfully rush down people with shotguns via tiny knife.

How do you pull a knife/gun during a fist fight? I've tried opening up the weapon wheel during fights but the button does nothing. One time I managed to pull out my revolver while fighting 2 dudes and just straight up pistol whipped both of them but have never done it again.

Yeah I looked like half the day yesterday and didn’t see a single drat moose. Got a lot of other trapper stuff knocked off my list though! That spot in the far NE where there are supposedly moose sometimes is a great hunting ground.

Also there was a guy panning for gold by the river and I hung around until he got a nugget and started to take off and I robbed him.

I ended up parking my horse right next to the lady and as soon as the stabbing animation finished I jumped onto my horse and shot the ambushers with the semi auto shotgun in Deadeye. Helped that this time there weren't a bunch of trees in the way at the encounter location.

If the guide hadn't told me that finishing this encounter unlocks a stranger mission I would've just shot her and be on my way.

Yeah they're all supposed to have dialogue after you finish one of their requests but it's pretty generic thank you stuff. I had Charles bug out on me in a similar fashion when I gave him oleander for poison arrows.

... should just be the normal way through the weapon wheel. Alternatively just try tapping the button so you can unholster? Haven't really run into this issue outside of certain things that are supposed to be fist fights so you can't pull out (drunken bar brawl scene, maybe that giant dude in the mud in Valentine dunno didn't try).

But yeah it's pretty fun pistol whipping someone then when they stumble back in pain/surprise if you pull the trigger again Arthur sticks his gun up under their chin and fires.

What's the difference between the standard game and the PS4 Steelbook edition? Walmart apparently has the Steelbook for $60 for Black Friday and that's going to be the "deal". Does it come with any freebies or is it just a cashgrab by R* by selling you a game in (presumably) a metal box.

It has everything from the special edition plus some online content including a couple of outfits, a black Chestnut horse, a saddle, a theme for your camp, a level booster, and free access to the preorder guns from single-player (pump action, volcanic pistol, etc.)

E: provided that "steelbook edition" is the same thing as the ultimate edition. All the extras are for red dead online so if your not into that then there's no point unless you really want the steelbook

The Braithwates also got oxen.

Anyone else think the complete lack of backstory for him suggests RDR3 will be young Uncle in the old old west?

Sadie, Josiah or Charles would be cooler. But Uncle just seems more likely given the blank book past and him being old enough to have lived in the peak of the west which seems like where they'd go next.

The legendary sockeye salmon in lake isabella is huge, around 25 kg. Only fish so far that was able to snap my line (first try). Muskie is pretty big, but not nearly as heavy as the sockeye.

Was preparing for a long struggle during my second try with the salmon, but I got lucky when it hooked relatively close to shore and then second time it struggled made a beeline towards me and the “shore” (ice float). Whole thing was over in less than 30 seconds.

I lost a good horse because I boarded a train, it followed and went flying off a bridge trying to chase the train.

New horse, if I hitch it and then board a train, horse still follows the train, I don't want it to die. I've also tried telling the horse to flee, but still does his best to run along side the train. Any way to get him to stop?
