I found what is definitely the most disturbing place I've ever seen in a video game, a cellar of a ruined house that looked like the home of a serial killer. I didn't take a photo because I was in a hurry to leave. Body parts everywhere.

I came across a shack with skeletons in the bunks, and a weird sort of trench system full of bones.

Just now I discovered what appears to be a "doctor's" surgery in a room in an abandoned house.

The junk bones on the bunks is the leftovers from cultists, ala Heavens Gate. Trenches are the aftermath of an actual battle, and ruined field fortifications can be found in a few different locations.

Not going to even spoiler the fresher body parts locations, because that ties into singleplayer plotlines. :iiam:

Make sure you wander Bayou Nwa at night, though, and up near Brandywine and such. (Best results in SP, of course.)

This is that cellar if anyone else wants to see:

Does the torso hanging from a bridge near Valentine ever get resolved further along in the game? I'm not especially far in, but it was one of the first things I found and I'm just curious for a yes/no.

There's a daily challenge to drive a train, and when I zoned in to my camp I heard the whistle so I rode like mad, pressed the wrong button and crashed into the train, my horse and I going rear end over teakettle. Twice. But I manage to climb onto the last car. Dashed to the front and pitched the engineer off.

The law caught up to me right as I entered that really long tunnel in the desert area, north of Hennigan's Stead, flying down the tunnel toward me from the western end.

<squish>

I saw a new notification: Slaughter

Crushed another set of lawmen before I exited the tunnel, and made my escape.

I had 2x hanged corpse ambushes, one hosed-up slaughter-wagon ambush (where they were like whistling to communicate with each other and scare off my horse), one crying woman ambush, and the one old guy that I helped take back his house.

All thsi was in SP, though. Never seen one in MP, I don't believe.

Never seen any of the more complex ambushes by anyone in MP, actually. Just randos in the trees, and sucker plays with someone wanting help.Get a flaming wagon full of explosives rolling at you, or the Maxim wagon, make ambush-busting more than "kite to get some distance, murder at range".

loving Night Folk should be releasing gators behind you while they keep you focused up front. Or dropping snakes out of the trees on you.

That's funny because about half an hour ago I was minding my own business and then got exploded up into the sky and about a mile away from where I started. When I respawned I could see the explosions continuing off in the distance, and received notifications each time the griefer accidentally killed himself.

Safe as possible = a few hundred thousand cheaters that got caught.

Gain XP to earn tons of free poo poo, cosmetics and discounts, if you have the gold to get started. You'll get it back as you progress and IIRC it levels up regardless, so you can keep up even if you don't have enough gold yet. Last one was 40 gold.

Yeah, you get back all the gold you spend on the pass. The last one gave out so much bonus xp I went from level 90 something to 200+ before it was done since I was also doing all the new roles with their xp bonuses.
The outlaw pass has it’s own level system, you work your way up to level 100 and every level or two you get some sort of cosmetic or gameplay item. Tickets for free moonshine mash, trader resupplies, ability cards, and things like that to speed up your progress in the game.

Also, even if you don't buy the gold outlaw pass right away, you level up the free version of the pass, and then if you spend gold on the real one later all those levels will apply to it immediately (and then you'll get back the gold right away too).

Now you have a legit thing to spend gold on.

Still looking at like $240 gold that I've been accumulating even with spending on clothes/weapons/cosmetic poo poo for dailies...

Dick Trauma

Sounds good. I did manage to build my gold back up to around $20 after buying the Moonshiner role, but that's still well short of $40. I gave up on the Moonshiner missions as I find them mostly unenjoyable, especially the story ones. I stopped playing the RDO story missions as well once I hit an "endless human waves from all sides" one, which is my least favorite type of gameplay.

That said I'm still enjoying collecting things, and mixing in a little of the Trader tasks. I dressed Cripps up like an explorer and he looks ridiculous and I love it.

Based on the pictures in the blog, I'm guessing "Naturalist" is just a nicer way of saying big game hunter. And this:

There was a mission in RDR1 where you had to return a stolen herd of cattle from the Hennigan’s Stead canyon to Armadillo. The cattle drive was cool but way too short to really scratch that particular cowboy itch.

A drive from Armadillo to the stock yard in Valentine, now that’s some Rawhide role play I could get behind.

if they ever do that, i hope they put the cattle drive in an instanced mission, because every red dot on the map is gonna load up their dynamite and bumrush you if it's public
