Dammit I did the last Hamish mission...

The board died on top of Hamish, so I tried to blast the boar with dynamite to move him just in case Hamish had anything special to loot (still couldn't loot Hamish), and Buell ran off. Is he lost for good? Not that I need another horse but he told me take care of him and I have failed.

There's nothing to loot off of him IIRC.

You can wear Hamish's hat but it's not keepable. Buell is kinda useless. He'll be happy roaming free, unburdened by the problems of Arthur & the gang.

I also liked Karen, Mary Beth, and Tilly tbh

Tilly was a suprise for me for how tough she was and how she gets kidnapped but still tells her captors to get hosed

Epilogue stuffs: Given that this was a prequel and the only people you have to hunt in RDR1 are Bill, Javier & Dutch, I fully expected awful outcomes for everyone else. Once Sean & Kieran get taken out I figured it was only a matter of time before Pearson, Tilly, Mary Beth, Karen, etc. all followed. I was honestly quite surprised by the amount of gang members that live through the entire plot and actually have happy endings.

I took care of Buell. I took care of him all the way to Level 4 bonding. (later game spoilers): Then I rode him proudly into the last mission.

Also, I've encountered Murfee brood killing travelers and campers and whatnot (never been able to stop them in time, not sure if that's possible). Is there anything I'm supposed to do here other than shoot them all? I looted one of the people they killed and took a huge honor hit, so that apparently wasn't the right thing to do.

Nah, those hapless folk usually always end up dead before you arrive on the scene. In the cases where you can actually save someone you'll hear them calling for help before hand.

Also, it shouldn't have been that big of an honor hit when you loot the people who the Brood kill. You should be able to make that back from tossing a couple of fish back into the water when you go fishing.

I picked up the white Arabian for my second play through and I’m loling at how tiny it is. Even riding solo it’s pretty silly but when you’re riding with the gang, forget about it.

Good stats though

I found this guy when I couldn't use weapons in Rhodes, and I guess I waited too long to progress Chapter 3 because now the basement guy is dead (X on the map) and I get no option to make the gunsmith open the door :(

ICMB posted:

I had the exact same problem and it bothers me more than it should.

You actually can use a weapon for this. I’m still in chapter three and don’t see the weapon wheel in Rhodes but I went behind the counter and held down l2 to target him and the “hold r2 to aim weapon” prompt came up and all of a sudden I’m able to use my pistols.

I got too excited about that and blew the guy’s head off, forcing me to wait for him to respawn.

Agreed. I prefer a Missouri foxtrotter, but I know the turkomans are good too. Both are far less skittish and won’t freak out once you see a snake or immediately kick you with wolves and even cougars.

The horse I'd had all game died after I accidentally played chicken with a train on one of the bridges. I obviously died too, and afterwards the little guy was just gone from the game world so no chance to revive or anything. Oh well.

Which horses are good courage/speed hybrids? I started out with the free pre-order Ardennes which seemed all right but then switched to the Arabian so I could zip around the map and win more of those impromptu point-to-point race challenges and... yeah that thing is a nervous wreck when it comes to ambushes and predators.

The foxtrotter is slightly less skittish. The thoroughbred felt the least skittish to me in sp but its not as fast and online that wouldnt be as good of a tradoff imo.
