I was honestly half expecting that story mission to just give me the goddamn gator corpse at the end of it. I have this legendary panther pelt that looks good with everything but I want that hat to complete the set.

This is really irritating. Twice now I've pulled a gun on law enforcement when trying to surrender. The second time I even made sure to have just my fists equipped before I did it. Why does this happen?

It's especially irritating I got charged with assault for trying to lasso someone who was SHOOTING at me.

it makes absolutely 0 sense for a number of reasons but it’s my personal head canon that Uncle is Red Harlow somehow

just because Red was kind of enough of a dork that I can buy him accomplishing his revenge quest and just loving off to spend the rest of his life telling questionably true tales about his past and lazing about

kind of neat that both RDR1 and 2 now acknowledge that Revolver happened in this universe at least to some degree

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge but I just realized that when you enter the territory of a legendary animal and then check your map there is a very small question mark that marks off the first piece of evidence. Now I feel like a dumbo for all the mindless running around. You may need to be within its vicinity but I'm not sure of that.

In RDR1, Uncle wears a glove on only his right hand, like Red did.

Rockstar says that the games aren't in the same universe but I've also always thought that he was Red.

Does anyone have some tips to more easily do the art exhibition thing where they want a cardinal and a woodpecker?

I've follow the online suggestions to just wander the dakota river in the morning, but never seem to see the required birds (or if I do, they're rarely 3 star quality).

Am I missing something here, or is this way harder/frustrating than 90% of the other challenges?

I hope online mode gives you a strong incentive to hunt, fish and generally explore. It was great early on when I had no money but ever since that bank robbery in chapter 3 I had more money than I knew what to do with.

While it's hard to beat drugs for avoiding immediate death, big game meat + Herbs are real loving good if you want a hefty gold core buff on demand.

I wish you could just buy herbs instead relying on picking them out of the dirt. I pass by so many herbs while hunting because you are not allowed to pick them while the 'tracking animal' meter is up, and some mint isn't worth the risk of losing track of 3 star animals :v:

Though half the time I'm feeding Morgan premium herb steaks is just to give him some variety from a diet of 90% Plain Venison. (I've finally got that perfect bod. Thanks, chocolate bars!)

Honestly I wouldn't feel the need for having such a cash buffer if not for the fact I'm a very boring guy who likes paying off my bounties ASAP. But it's been worth the pricetag for being able to take everything at my leisure, rather than get booted out of the trapper menu before crafting a nice new jacket and other pranks from bounty hunters.

Haven't found a woodpecker yet, but I've found a ton of little birds on this location. They seem to spawn on the rocks in the river, each bird has it's own rock. So you can look for them with your binoculars, and if you've found the bird you need, you can camp until it's a 3 star one. Studying them does seem to trigger them into flying away though. So I suggest looking around until you find the bird you're looking for, camping and then the next morning just shoot it with your bow as soon as the reticle turns red.

Here's the general location:



And here it's zoomed in. Around the 'V' of Roanoke Vally is where there are a ton of rocks in the river where the little birds should spawn.



There's a perfect raven there that sits on a rock and flies away as you approach. So if you see that, you're in the right spot.

I'll try and get some in-game screenshots later, but I'm at the other end of the map at the moment and well :effort:

The question mark only appears if you are close to it, activating the special vision mode makes it appear further away on the minimap.

I bagged a 3* woodpecker and a 3* cardinal last night, in the area of the northern shore at Flat Iron Lake between Flatneck Station and Gill Landing. It took over an in-game day, traipsing around on foot while aiming at anything flying overhead.

The woodpeckers each spawned alone, flying overhead. I saw one cardinal do that too, and also saw cardinals mixed with flocks of other birds (sneaky jerks)

This game has got us sharing good fishing spots, hunting tips, and tall tales. I love it.

I feel like there are problems with vendor/incidental dialog that take away from some neat things. For example the fur trader mentions the legendary animals/fish and their approximate locations so you don't just have to stumble into them. A post office worker told me about a findable axe around Wallace station, etc etc. Neat, little clues in context help build up this little world.

Let's go back to the fur trader, because I think we have all been there often. When you leave the buy or sell screen the main character sometimes says, "Thank you, you're very helpful". Not for the services but for sharing info (?) Problem is the vendor didn't say his line. I think the game treats any interaction with the vendor as a "stranger event", just like giving money to the drunk beggar results in you being told about a robbery target. Too many thing going on for any one thing to work correctly 100% of the time.

A lot of the birds you're looking for will land along the rocks close to the river's edge. Walk up and down along it and keep a scoped rifle out for any bright/miscolored spots along rock formations. Be aware that birds will only perch on the rocks during day time. Once you find a perched bird you're looking for you'll want to equip small game arrows on your bow, then charge the shot before marking said bird in Deadeye to give yourself a better chance to hit. If you have the legendary buck trinket you can shoot them with a varmint rifle and there's also a chance you'll get a perfect carcass out of it.

The specific area of the Dakota river you want to be looking at it is due west of Horseshoe Overlook, and around Limpany/Flatneck Station. Aside from a cardinal and woodpecker, you also need a robin, oriole, songbird, sparrow, cedar waxwing, blue jay and crow for later stages of this quest. All of those can spawn in that area.

My horse slightly brushed a moving train once and indeed the horse reviver wasn’t enough to recover from that. Fortunately I had just made a manual save as I always do before taking the train.

Also to be clear I hadn’t bought a ticket yet, the train was pulling through the station and my horse just wandered from near the hitching post to just into getting lightly brushed by train range.

I’m at the point in the game where I’m cleaning up requirements for 100%, and let me tell you, the Hunting Requests and Exotic quest are tedious as gently caress. Spending hours running around with your binoculars out trying to find specific species of birds to kill...good thing I had a lot of unplayed podcasts to get through.

Also gently caress the American Robin.

I tried to 100% RDR1 and I got extremely close; all I had to do was find some cougars to wrap up a hunting a challenge. Then I accidentally saved over my file and that burned out whatever completionist tendencies I may have had, and I'm glad for it, because I had a lot more fun with this game knowing I wasn't gonna bother with any of that stuff.

rdr1 was way more arcadey so 100%'ing wasn't too big of an ask

trying to 100% this game would be a miserable grind maybe only matched by trying to 100% the yakuza games
