Absolutely fucks me right off when you accidentally bump into someone, they open fire on you then you get arrested if you shoot back. They should at least have NPCs get chased by the law for that, and I'm surprised they don't given the absurd detail in the game in general

I will say I’ve let myself get arrested a few times - it’s always fun when someone in the gang comes to break you out. I’ve had Dutch sweet talk me out, and Charles and John bust in shooting to rescue me, and then you have to escape on horseback.

An NPC overreacting and opening fire on you and you getting a bounty for defending yourself is one of the most infuriating things in the game. Or the trespassing charges in Saint Denis. Once I rode a horse into a street lamp and Arthur's body got thrown onto somebody's lawn - you bet that I got hit with trespassing before I could even stand up, loving ridiculous. It's even more frustrating because of how many different scenarios actually are covered by the game. Once after repeatedly antagonizing somebody in Saint Denis I got hit with "disturbing the peace". This happened shortly after the trespassing situation so I waited for the police wondering if they're going to actually shoot me dead for insulting a random dude in the street, are you kidding me? Well, a police officer came and said "if I were you I'd make sure I'm not needed somewhere else" and that's it - I could just walk away from the red area, no chase, nothing and no bounty either. The game recognizing that but not an NPC shooting at you first is what's so jarring.

I know anecdotal but i have had the law rescue me from people. I have also defended myself from aggressors in town without a wanted level... But i think only by lassoing or punching them out.

It is p funny that you can walk down the street antagonizing everyone and if you goad someone into a fight and knock them out you get no bounty lol

I stabbed the racist eugenics guy in the chest in broad daylight with the a dozen people watching and got no bounty or honor loss. It was pretty great. Overall though, the bounties are way too strict and it sucks there's no way to get rid of them other then paying. Unless there are pardon letters like in the first game and I just haven't found them?

Nah, nothing like that as far as I can tell. You just have to pay it off. I wish there was actually a way to win shootouts with the police. It's kind of dumb that in the middle of the wilderness you can still have unlimited magic cops who know exactly where you are. If you kill every witness and cop in some backwater you shouldn't still have a bounty! I like the idea of having it work in waves, so if you hold off enough you get a short period to escape. I guess this is an issue with GTA too.

I cannot figure out how to stand down so that the cops arrest me instead of just shooting my face off. It was an option like once in Valentine but every other time I thought I better just go to prison and stop this parabolic bounty I just get shot by every cop who approaches me. (Yes, I holster my weapons...) I hate that when I save a random stranger on the trail from a rapist or their kidnapper and try to bring the guy to a jail hog-tied I get labelled as a kidnapper... I've heard that in some fringe circumstances you can bring in a random assailant but it's never worked for me.

This game is very buggy where that is concerned - sometimes the “Greet” options light up for like a second then they dim again for stranger missions and you lose the whole option to pursue that mission. I’ve also never had the extra bounties work for me. You can also bring in the people from the bounty hunter stranger encounters, once you kill the guys transporting them and you free them from the cage, you are supposed to be able to take them into the nearest town fora reward. I get my face shot off every time I try it though.

I actually came across a guy labeled as "bounty target" being transported in a normal stage, but when I tried to return his corpse everyone thought I was some crazed killer. I'll have to check again on the dialog options but the last time I ran up to a lawman was in Saint Denis and I don't think the surrender option even presented itself, greyed or no. But I only had a second or two of running at the lawman before my head was blown off.

I remember about halfway through this game, I found the corpse of Bonnie Macfarlane's boyfriend and got the bright idea I was going to cart him all the way to the nearest town and dump him off at the sheriff. So I did. Sheriff came after me for "Disturbing the peace."

There is if you have the option to surrender, otherwise when you "aim" without a weapon out Arthur will just draw his pistol anyway. Or at least, that's how I think this works.

Man, I've started replaying and the foreshadowing at the start of the game are crazy. But when "The Fire in Your Eyes" starts playing, I almost lost it. I feel like they really designed the start of the game to really have your first playthrough weigh on you when you play again.

If the cops' aggro level is in full shootout mode I don't think you can surrender. You need to be quick on doing it before things escalate, and sometimes they can go right for shooting you straight in the forehead.

In Valentine I got into a fist fight with someone and the police just told me to go away. I was transporting a lovely brown thoroughbred to the stable to save and Lemoyne raiders jumped and chased him away

I believe I looted everyone and looked around thinking there might be a key or other 'trigger' item that allowed me to open it, but got nothing, and no matter where I stood around it or on it, I couldn't get any 'open' or 'free' option seemingly no matter what I did. Either I missed something obvious (very probable as I am very dumb), or do these occasionally bug out, or is that intentional and I'm just supposed to cart them around for awhile either to a town, the nearest set of railroad tracks, or steep embankment? As it stood, I believe I'd shot the horse(s?) on the wagon team and so it may have just been sitting there with the person stuck in it begging to get out. Not knowing what it was, I just felt real bad leaving them to die of exposure in a locked box.

I have had no luck with rdo since it launched. I'm able to play for about thirty minutes at most before it disconnects me from the server. Is this just how it is, or am I just hosed in some strange new way?

Is this just how it is, or am I just hosed in some strange new way? This is similar to my situation. Are your network connection NAT 3? Mine is, and I suspect that's the culprit. I brought my PlayStation on a trip where the connection was something else I was never disconnected. It's probably possible to fix it with port forwarding, but the online isn't fun enough for me to bother with convincing my roommate to let me mess around inside his prescious router. Fwiw I have no problem getting paired up with buddies in No Man's Sky and Destiny.

From that point on it seems hitting the L button that would normally bring you to the dialogs always results in a pistol draw. I loitered too long in cinematic mode and when I resumed the lawmen we're all full on bloodrage boner homicidal maniacs, so I can't possibly surrender. Kind of annoying...
