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.

I didn’t use the thoroughbred in SP but the foxtrotter I used in SP seems much less skittish that the thoroughbred online. I fire a couple shots and the bastard starts freaking out

Oh don't get me wrong, I posted that because I actually really loving love that song and the sequence that went with it during the Epilogue.

That was a really good sequence. Plus it was somewhat interactive with the button presses. I got a kick out of it.

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.


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 feel like people kinda forget the actual premise of the original Red Dead. They send you to kill Bill because he’s a menace and do the same with Dutch only because he shows back up and they have Marston’s family anyway. Javier would have been fine if Bill hadn’t run off to Mexico.

It is weird that most of Red Dead is about the guy who my Arthur delighted in yelling to wake up every morning.

Started a new playthrough to be a Bad Arthur and maybe to do some of this hunting and fishing and fancy schmancy satchel stuff you all are always going on about, and I noticed a prompt to check the journal after the second mission or so. I read it for the first time and what a beautiful man Arthur is. :cry: also I HATE DUTCH

I'd studied one through my binoculars and saw that they spawn around the bayou in Lemoyne, was riding around looking for birds to fulfill the Exotics requests and came across the flock, shot one and picked it up to fill out the compendium. Got a pop-up:

- Carolina Parakeets are an endangered species.
- Hunt Carolina Parakeets.
- ???? remaining.

I did Compson's side quest. At its conclusion, he was weeping at his campsite, so I brained him with my rifle. His slavery loving corpse fell into the campfire and became engulfed in flames. I hope he doesn't give any more.

I wasn't expecting him to light up like he was soaked in gasoline

It didn't take too long but I threw all hunting conventions out the window and just rode around one shotting the 3 star animals I needed with improved arrow/varmint rifle from the back of my horse as they ran away. Seemed like the most efficient way especially if you get the Legendary Buck trinket and tame the white Arabian horse first.

Idk how much time I’ve wasted trying to do this. I go out hunting a lot but over half of the time when I have some great pelts I end up dying somehow dumb before getting it back to the trapper

He bugged out in my game at the end, he entered an endless loop where his body lit on and off every ten seconds. It was rather fitting.

Let me get this straight. In online mode, I've completed 75% of the story. High honor, bar almost filled up. To complete the remaining 25% I now need to get low honor. Correct?

You're right that they're honor gated for you to be able to start them yourself, but you can have a friend host them or get into them at random by quickjoining.

Wish I could sell all these useless gold belt buckles I earn in RDO to the fence for money to buy stuff I actually want to wear.

There's only a few of those rewards I'll actually equip and it's mostly due to the shape and because of how shiny they are you can hardly even tell what icon is on them.

Spent the 15 gold bars I got from R* on a pump shotgun and a golden engraved hunting knife. This is why the poor remain poor.

Playing knife-only on a Tumbleweed King of the Castle match was SO FUN. Nobody expects it.

Is there a "permanent posse" that we all can join?

No. Permanent posses have roster slots for the leader and nine others, only 7 can be active at a time, and if you want to add someone new then space has to be made in the roster.

If you're on PS4 there's the PSN community Obscuridad del Santo JeffK, which you can use to join in on other members' sessions. There's also the LLJK social club crew but it's mostly for GTA and has been perpetually full since the PC launch of GTA.

Nah the end would be the riverboat robbery. But that would be better as DLC IMO.

I think before RDR 3 we'll get a very serious-rear end mafia game that will differentiate itself from GTA by being an impenetrable novel of a game where you start as a kid and it's hours before you do anything but meet characters and deliver groceries or whatever.

Make sure you save after you get a Perfect Pelt and also you should be handing them into Pearson at your base camp if you want the 99 item slot satchel (the Trapper is for cosmetics and challenge-related equipment upgrades).

And of course you should pretend you're Tom Hardy because what's a life without pelts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yveQv7RsEE4&t=45s

I would honestly love to see a game about Australian bushrangers in the late 1870s (around the rise and fall of the Kelly Gang) or earlier (if you go way earlier, 1840s or 50s, you could have former or escaped convicts). Having a mini-Australia could have a cool contrast of landscapes and biomes.

Of course, the Redemption games are kind of also about the death of a particular kind of American time and place. So uh, maybe a Northwestern focused on not-Oregon and Not-Washington with a bit of western Canada

edit: though to be honest, that doesn't sound particularly convincing either, seeing as RDR and RDR2 are really about death/decline of the Old West (RDR2 also sort of about how you can't return to that time and place). Maybe the only other option is head further west, base it in California/Arizona/Nevada area... but even then I'm not sure how to build on the themes of the others
