I assume this is a known trick, but: I found a perfect turtle on that island with the shipwreck but was dismayed when my boat had vanished and I had no way to transport it to the shore. However, if you select camp while holding it you're automatically teleported to shore and the perfect carcass is just sitting next to you at your camp.

But then in another twist of fate, there is no crafting need for a turtle carcass and it was basically a huge waste of time! I was hoping Pearson would make me a turtle shell stool or something but no dice.

Do the legendary fish give you trinkets or items like the legendary animals, or are they just for cash and completion?

There’s a hat I want to make that requires a perfect cow skin. I assume the way to get this is to find some guy’s cow and shoot it, taking an honor hit?

Didn't that get patched? I wouldn't mind making Marston a few dollars once I'm done with the cow milking missions.

Possible but I did it after online got released.

Hamish Sinclair question because my game bugged out: as Hamish was dying, he told me I should take care of his horse. Then the giant boar stormed me and I killed it. The game gave me an option to take a trophy, but when I pressed that, I fell trough the map screaming. I respawned some distance away, but Hamish, the horse and the boar are gone. Did I miss some cool rewards due to that bug?

I actually finished the Bandit Challenges and now I’m trying to regain the hell out of my honor back. Was pretty funny when I went to have a sit and talk with Mary and Arthur was like it’s like I lost control. All I can think was look we had to steal those wagons and they didn’t want to comply so gun to face was the only option. :v:

The problem with that is that everyone interested will wait for a discount code before they buy.

no it doesn't, they'll all preorder it so they can get the in-game bonuses giving them an hour head start on the grinding over all the scrubs who wait

now, if they don't wait to buy things until they have a discount code in the in-game economy, well then they're just noobs

The controls are awful. That said, they are customizable, so play with the acceleration and aim assist settings in the menu. It helps.

Its less "being good" and more "using your brain".

if a fishing lure - that can be lost at times - strategically helps you catch fish, but that same fishing lure costs 1 gold bar - ensuring it is never a wise investment, then you've made budget choices trump gameplay choices and that's stupid as gently caress

remove the gold bar from the equation and make the lure cost a certain amount of normal in-game currency that presents an actual opportunity cost to consider against the profit you earn catching large fish attracted by the lure that you run the risk of losing each time you cast - now suddenly we're talking about actual interesting gameplay choices

It only costs one gold bar if you're under level 30 which most of us are. I had 4 gold bars and don't really give a gently caress about the cosmetic poo poo they buy and skipping the lvl requirement on the lure has been super lucrative and I like fishing so gently caress it. I think it costs something cheap like $2.50 after you get to level 30 but I forget.

Is it always gold though? I think it only costs gold to skip the level requirement. Someone said that earlier too.

Requiring level 17 to fish and 30 to use lures is itself dumb but that's rockstar's MO.

that would make at least a *bit* more sense if the gold was a one time unlock, but it's still not ideal
