Sorry if this has been asked before, but how the hell do the masks work for hiding your identity? I robbed a train in the middle of nowhere with a new set of clothes, guns I rarely use equipped, and a full executioner mask on and yet they pegged me for Arthur immediately. Is there something I am missing?

ZeusCannon posted:Did you put the mask on on the train? Or did you interact with the people you we're robbing without a mask before robbing the train? Because both of those will do it Put the outfit and mask on a ways away from the train, then rode up and started knifing people. It would be nice if there was some sort of indication for how identifiable you are because as it stands doing non-story outlaw stuff is almost never worth the effort. Professor Funk posted:
It's a little clunky so don't feel bad. Basically the core loop is punch - if connects, combo, if not then block until they hit you then pummel them - block. If they are just regular dudes then just pummeling works but for big dudes you have to dodge hits with block. Also if you are fistfighting for non lethal reasons you can automatically hogtie someone if you punch them with your rope equipped CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Oct 30, 2018 |

hemale in pain posted:I'm kinda sad that npcs no longer seem to suffer horrible wounds in fights. I remember them crawling around on the floor bleeding out in the first game but they just seem to fall over and die in this. Try using lower caliber weapons, it helps with not instakilling them when you shoot them in the toe. Granted, it's hard to see when you are in the middle of a firefight. Or just run around with a bow and shoot deer, chase them down as they bleed out, you monster

I have tried to be a good guy and it sucks. One time I saved a stagecoach from being robbed by bandits, and tied them up rather than shooting them. On a whim i threw one on the back of my horse and decided to take him to jail for his crimes. Three mins later I am riding through town and get gunned down for kidnapping the dude.

My poor beautiful horses keep dying when I die so i don't have the chance to revive them, then i get respawned with Archie the Shetland Pony rather than Marzipan, The God Among Equines.

red19fire posted:The gang economics are bullshit. We just robbed a homestead for $1200. The 'gang' gets 600. Two days later, Dutch is haranguing me for not contributing enough. The entire ledger is me giving up pocket watches and jewelry, with Javier contributing a pelt for 25 cents. Of course he has to whine that you are not bringing in enough, you are the only one that brings in anything and all those vests and cigars aren't going to buy themselves. God forbid anyone actually uses the things they steal, surely sleeping in a stolen covered wagon is better than under a tarp on the ground. I do love how you are obligated to drop hundreds of dollars to spruce up Dutch's tent so that you can get the next tier that unlocks fast travel, with the added bonus of gently caress-all bonus income. Wait, no, I hate that.

I have no idea how a shotgun shell is involved in the creation of a small game arrow but it seems a little overkillPantsBandit posted:So is the mask just 100% effective at avoiding bounties? Could I just put it on and go on a killing spree in town, or is there some limit to its powers? The disguise system is pretty hosed. You have to wear all different clothes, use different guns, and wear a mask and it still rarely works. The only good way to avoid a bounty is getting rid of any possible witnesses. This makes robbing stores financial or literal suicide, unfortunately. Robbing in general is pretty poo poo. Trains usually carry no more than ten bucks worth of random goods, and passersby only give you a couple bucks if you stand them up. The real money is in the story missions.

Sheen Sheen posted:Yup, I’ve done a whole bunch of crimes with witnesses and not gotten a single bounty because I tend to peace out ASAP after committing a crime, even without a bandana or a disguise. I even managed to beat an O’Driscoll Boy to death for giving me guff right on the outskirts of town in broad daylight; I didn’t even bother to chase down the witness I just hopped on my horse and got back to camp. No bounty and I went back into town the next day without a problem. This makes me wonder if IDing you is instant with cops but random strangers can be put off by clothes swapping or whatever. I am remembering once robbing a train and being anonymous until the fuzz showed up and popped me as Arthur. esperterra posted:Only if you have already studied them before, which binocs are useful for with new animals or w/e. Also having binocs sharply decreases your chance of accidentally locking on to a human with your rifle and kicking off a party you don't want

I have completed every upgrade in the camp, including the weird useless ones like buying a boat, and I'm still salty about my cashflow. I need approximately the GDP of the small nation in my pocket so that every time a O'Driscoll comes by I can pay them 20 bucks to gently caress off

Jimbot posted:I wish you could toggle the scope on the Rollingblock rifle like you can with every other weapon you put a scope on. TBF it is a designated sniper rifle and designed as such, if they made it so that you could do it unscoped then it would just fade into the general "rifle" category alongside the Springfield

As bad as the "BOING BOING TUTORIAL" stuff can be in all rockstar games, I like some of the more organic stuff they slip in. I find a guy begging for medicine on the side of the road, after I help he points me towards the plants that poisoned him, which can be used to make poison arrows and stuff. I would have found it regardless if I just wandered around picking plants, but it is a nice way to go "hey you should look for these" without hitting you over the head with it

Gunder posted:Remember, you seem to be able to hand yourself in after the mission by just approaching the town and surrendering. It'll lock you in jail for a few days, but you don't lose much money, certainly not anywhere near the actual bounty. Seems to be a much better (cheaper) way of clearing bounties. Is it less than the bounty? Every time I handed myself over they only "reduced" the amount when I had less on me than the bounty amount. Except in the rare cases when one of your camp mates broke you out

Since gaining honor is such a massive pain in the rear end, a few odd things that gain it that I read about - killing animals on the first shot - saying hello to people on the street (every third one is a bump) - tying enemies up seems to be a crapshoot but sometimes it works Granted I have done a lot of stuff and it still is floating at zero so you probably just have to grind. VVV I dont think that is a bump, it just isn't a negative hit. Although it would have been worth it no matter what. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Nov 1, 2018 |

super macho dude posted:Theres a pretty easy grind to raise honor by just catching and releasing fish. Can confirm this works well. I have been idly fishing with one hand while browsing the internet and after like six releases finally got tier 1 honor. For those who have played enough, is there any key honor gate? Unrelated, the UI continues to be a nightmare. If anyone was wondering, the save option is under "story" in the menu

Slim Killington posted:I read way earlier in either this thread or Reddit about how split bullets cost nothing and were way better than normal bullets so I thought "oh cool I'll make those" and saw the 1 animation = 1 bullet thing and immediately stopped. gently caress that, they ain't that good. It says that but I've gone through splitting full loads of bullets and it seemed like it took way less time than it would if it was really individually crafting them.

MeatwadIsGod posted:Finally got the block rifle and tricked it out with black steel with Victorian engravings and a mahogany stock. I can't wait to unlock the Scofield and have a proper revolver. Gaudy guns are the best. The first thing I did when I got the 50% honor discount was drop $300 on the most absurd semiautomatic shotgun you have ever seen. Gold all over, mahogany stock, blued steel engravings. It's beautiful

Klisejo posted:I missed so much I just said gently caress it and am doing a second playthrough going ultra-methodical this time. Now that I'm not busy trying to figure out how to play, I'm enjoying these early sections sooo much more now. Same, I'll probably start again using first person mode more, focusing on side quests, and generally engaging more with the story. I really wasn't into Arthur's character because he felt entirely reactionary up until chapter 4/5, so seeing him grow later makes me more fond of him AndyElusive posted:Does this work on cougars?

Big Beef City posted:In the time they've been out, I've never played a single game of 'Battle Royale' style franchise. Difficult not to do so when they mixed it in with the normal fun quick play list DrNutt posted:Real betas are usually a bit more up front about wanting feedback and giving you ways to submit it. I only found their beta feedback option after googling for Rockstar support for bug reporting. A normal dev wanting feedback for a beta would at least have a splash screen or something with a URL. Yeah this beta is a AAA beta, which generally means that it's a limited version of the feature complete game that is using the "beta" tag to excuse the bugs that will pop up. They aren't really looking for feedback, they are stress testing and seeing where it breaks. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Nov 30, 2018 |
