Is the bear supposed to spawn in The Wolf Man? The first run it came out of nowhere and mauled him to death while we unloaded on it, the second run we hashed out a plan for this, but he was at a different spot and the bear didn't even show up. Thought maybe it was just a random wilderness spawn and not scripted after that.

If it helps any, I have done it three times and not seen a single bear. But also, I was soloing it, cause I lack friends to play with (psn handle is Robo-Raptor, if anyone wants to add me and help with that)

I was just running a bounty in Lemoyne when I got attacked in the swamp. I finished off the attackers but my bounty got knocked off the horse. I went to pick him up and he started slithering away oddly in the dark. I thought the game was bugging out , until the Alligator let go of him and started coming at me lol

So that was a new one.

I just now read the part in that VG247 interview where they discuss adding photography as part of a role, and I just want to say that I am so ready. I haven't used the camera much at all because there hasn't been a ton of incentive, but I'm excited by the prospect of them adding one. That sounds really cool. I want to be this world's Ansel Adams.

Agreed.

I really hope they come through with this stuff the way they're talking. It sounds really awesome to me. I just hope it doesn't fall through or come up drastically short. I'd personally say Rockstar generally delivers, but regardless, poo poo happens and the video game industry is notoriously unstable in a few senses, so yeah.

It's randomly scripted to appear at the right most spawn. Sometimes it's the bear, other times it's the wolves. You'll know it's the bear if you Eagle Eye and see him sitting over there by the tree. He'll yell "GRIZZLY!" or "She's coming!" when you get close enough to trigger the encounter. You can also see the bear further in the little cave, which makes it easier to take it out before it gets to him.

On the highest difficulty, there's a second grizzly that will almost always show up if you have to take him to the prison wagon in the north, just before you get into town so be ready with a shotgun and dead eye to blow it apart. There was only one time where the grizzly didn't show up for me on the highest difficulty while running him to that wagon, but that might have just been a weird little bug in that moment.

You can herd the Wolf Man too, to avoid letting him get too far away. You can't skin the wolves either so no point in wasting time trying. Just focus on getting them down and getting him out of there.

According to a Reddit post, animals not spawning is a bug that they're working on. It's really frustrating though in the meantime.

I am drat near to the point I would put down real life dollars on the bug being related to player density. Managed to record this last night:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U86ljoQPlqg

Black screen to empty lobby off bounty board, confirmed player population a few times, animals everywhere. Camp pitched on command twice within seconds of using the menu compared to it never being pitched/Cripps packed up your camp/being pitched five minutes later if it works. Turn in bounty, change outfit on horse, dismiss horse, summon hunting wagon because hey animals yay! Server repopulated in that time and animals vanished. Gonna send this off to Rockstar via their feedback page and I would think they know about some connection between player population and world activity, but it never hurts to have extra documentation.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Had a bug I never encountered before. My friends and I did a six man bounty hunt. I was on my horse, and used my bolas to catch a few before they could run. One that my friends missed looked like he was going to escape, so I drew my lasso, got off my horse, and tackled him. But then I didn't have an option to hog tie him. I let him go and tried to reselect my lasso, only to discover it was gone. Both lassos were gone, actually--reinforced and normal. They didn't return until we finished the bounty, which was much harder to do without being able to tie anyone!

I had the brilliant idea to just ride up to the wolfman, lasso him, and drag his rear end off while trying to outrun the wolves with my Turkoman. But I failed the mission because he died from being dragged. I thought they said dead or alive?! :argh:

Finally got collector 20. Definitely easy with that map linked previously.
BH, however, is proving to be tedious. Lots of bugs to iron out there. Trader feels impossible with the animals spawn bugs, unfortunately. Hopefully RS rolls some fixes out in the near future.
I've noticed that the daily bounty for doing bounties from a certain region don't register if they're turned into a sheriff's office in a different region, too. One of today's is 2 bounties from New Austin bounty boards. Grabbed one from Armadillo, and it ended at the Armadillo sheriff's office. Got credit. Grabbed another from MacFarlane's Ranch, which ended in Blackwater. I did not get credit for that one.
Same thing happened when it was West Elizabeth bounties when I had one start in West Elizabeth & ended in New Austin. Kinda of odd.

How do I stop racking up huge bounties? Haven't played this game since release. I was walking through a town and stood near some people, and one of them got very pissed off. Kept telling me to go on, git. I didn't, cause what the gently caress. Then he pulled a gun out and started shooting at me. I shot back and long story short I ended up with a bounty in the region of 500 something.

I've also been wearing an executioner's hood to rob and murder, and it doesn't stop the authorities knowing it's arthur after investigating.

Just want to say that I think they did a great job at making the roles make you explore areas you may not have visited, in their own ways (with collector likely being the best at it due to its nature). I've been places in this game for the first time in my 150+ hours of playing since the roles were released.

Or just tell them to calm down.

Or run away.


Try not to do crime in town in plainsight in the daytime. Even at night it pays to creep around in back alleys if you wanna get away with murder and/or robbery.

If my layman-rear end had to guess it’s that there are only so many slots per region per server to pitch a camp within x “miles” of another player’s/posse’s camp and they haven’t figured out how to solve it (obviously).

If you can't pitch your camp in the region, it will tell you there are no camp sites available when you try to select the region. The only fix I've found is trying a new free roam session.

IIRC, all it does is make it so that you don’t get instantly identified when you do a crime; if you flee the scene before the lawmen come, you won’t get a bounty. But if a lawman sees you in a crime zone, you’re getting a bounty whether you have a mask on or not.

I think, anyway
