a few RDO questions that people may or may not have answers for:

1) are bows going to be the way to get perfect pelts rather than trying to use specific weapons? seems like this makes more sense given that deadeye doesn't actually slow time in RD

Yep. Failing that, lassoing the animal and stabbing them. Some animals cannot be killed clean with either method, so you'll either need poison arrows (improved arrows don't appear to be in online at all), or bigger rifles, both of which are level locked.

Makes fishing and bird hurting down in Rhodes a bummer cause dammit there's so many prime gators just waiting to be turned into money but I don't have anything to kill 'em clean with.

A posse of 4 up on a hill sniped my horse. I revived my horse and they sniped my horse again. Who the hell shoots a horse?

I have to get to level 28 to buy a lovely dress to look like absolute loving rear end in. Level 98 for a nice one. Jesus christ. No thank you.

None of this looks fun.

Here's a weird thing to say. RDO could take a cue from Ultima Online. Murderers are red and vulnerable everywhere. Good people are blue and safe in towns.

if you see a pink circle running toward you on the map you have every advantage in the world really.

you can literally see the gank coming from across the map. They are not running toward you to give you a high five or sell you cookies, so post up by a tree or some cover and shoot them while they are on their predictable horse with your auto aim. be the hammer instead of the nail it's fun.

All this. Be proactive and aware. It's so much more fun when you stop trying to play it like sp.

Also, try heading for the N / NE region, new Austin is the scrub zone.

Assume everyone is there to kill you unless they prove otherwise. Worked out for me in most encounters.

And like I mentioned on the last page, white flags are no guarantee your safe at camp. If some dude is hovering around outside your camp, take out your gun, run in the opposite direction and get ready to fight.

Just kill horses. That's the best, and most fun, way to kill a man. My horse kill count is way higher than my player kill count. Leave them in the middle of nowhere waiting on the Nag Express or make them spend on revives.

Is getting one shotted all the time how online works because very not fun if so

Also it's cool when a person decides to follow you around killing you all the time for no reason. You spawn close to where you died so they don't have to move much even if you manage to kill them back. Very good mechanic.

Theres a couple of cards that prevent you from getting ganked.

Unrelated but shooting the horse is definetly the way to go bc im running into a lot of posse's that roll two people to a horse so getting one of them isnt gonna do poo poo anyways.

This game is going to spill into the next gen console just like GTAO did. PS4 will be left behind so that RDO can actually expand. Riding through Saint Denis in single player gets laggy at times

I've had a great time in online with a buddy, done lots of hunting and quick join mission etc. Already got myself varmint rifle, pump action shotgun and bolt action rifle.

We've played for like 15 hours this week total.

I think the economy issues are way overblown even if it could be a little more lenient

If you get killed 4 times in a short amount of time by the same person or posse, you should be sent back to your camp imo

If you defend yourself well enough, it gets rid of the nerd attacking you. If you're getting relentlessly owned, now you don't have to deal with the guy spawncamping you.

You can parley anyone who kills you several times, preventing that person from hurting you for 10 min.

Parlaying puts you about 2 miles away from your current location though, so if you're trying to get into say a store or a mission it's just an extra "gently caress you" on top of being repeatedly killed.

For online mode can I sell other players' horses to the horse fence at some point? I have a lot of fun just grabbing them and running away, but I would enjoy such mischief being lucrative too.

Also I was checking the horses to buy and the stable gave me a red arabian for free so uh...ok.
