A lady twisted her ankle, falling off a dying horse. She asked me for a ride, I say a-yup. She hops on, and then nothing.

I ride with her to town, nothing. I brought her to a doctor, nothing. I got off my horse to help get her down off my horse to put her into the doctor, still nothing.

i call up to her on my horse with a greeting and say the words "well, good luck then" to which she responds "can't catch no break". She will not get off my horse. There is no waypoint she is asking to go. Do I just run my horse at a rock to remind her how to get off a horse and leave her stranded in town?

I yelled at the scam book man and I chased after him because I assumed he was leading me to like, a set piece? And then he just ducked around a corner and I bumped into three tables in a row and he was gone. No icon on the map. Is my fifty dollars gone?

I went out to the swamp to look for a legendary gator and did you know that the top eight results for "where the gently caress is the goddamn legendary alligator" all fail to mention you can't find him until chapter 4? That's wild. I pissed off the swamp folk by skulking around and shooting their pet gators.

The first wild horse I ever saw was a Mustang. I calmly approached him for an hour. Night fell and rose again. I finally got him right at the edge of a cliff, I pat him, I mount him. His back feet were already off the edge so he basically suplexed me off of the 30 foot cliff. Good horse. Anyway it's 30 hours later and now I want a mustang and every goddamn map for wild horses swears up and down you can only get a mustang out in the heartlands right where the ea of the word on the map is and that is a goddamn lie. Those are kentucky saddlers 98% of the time and thoroughbreds the other 2. And I distinctly remember that mustang suplexed me in more of a tall trees area. It were colder and there were trees and a place to get suplexed off of a high cliff with trees. No area in the heartlands has that. This horse map is bullshit.

Do you guys have tips for duels? I can't do them well with any sort of regularity. Most of the time I will fail and sometimes I get a good amount of time to aim and shoot.

Okay so you know you hit R2 slowly right? there's just like, a sweet spot, and when you press the R2 trigger in there just right it rockets to finish the circle first. When your circle is full just pull R2 and vaguely aim at them. WHo cares.

Here's my question about duels. I shot a guy's dueling gun out of his hand and thought okay cool I get to be friends with this one but then he had a second gun and was like, laughing? Maniacally? as he points the gun to his own head and then I just shot him because I was afraid I'd die and lose that perfect alligator skin on my horse if I didn't just shoot him. Like what if he goes "psych!" and shoots me instead of himself? But also what if I just kept shooting pistols out of his hands until we're friends and he signs my cowboy yearbook? I didn't have the courage to find out.

Also: I cannot find elk for poo poo. I remember seeing them, the map says they're everywhere but that's another way of saying they could be anywhere. I go out looking for elk and have to come home with a perfect wolf carcass that turns poor by the time I get to camp. If all I'm gonna do with it is hang its skull on my bedpost why does it need to be a perfect wolf corpse?

Literally cannot find a wild horse that isn't a kentucky saddler. Nakota sounds cool. Every map I find says they're in the south of Cumberland Forest? Just more kentucky saddlers in my experience.

I recorded a cool glitch I was hunting the panther and I saw a dead boar. I accidentally bump it and it explodes into four dead boar. That's it.

Do pelts lose quality if you accidentally jump on them because I keep going up to a downed deer and instead of square-mercy-killing it , I square-jump-up-on-it-with-both-my-goddamn-shitkicking-boots it.

Also I got all those legendary animal thingies and literally none of them are wearable.

When I loaded up to play after work, the game acted as if I exited out and rebooted it. The same thing happened just now when I went to play. I'm back at camp and that mission hasn't started.

I... I feel like there was a stealth patch because until yesterday my horse had never poo poo but then suddenly it wouldn't stop making GBS threads. Every time I turn around having skinned a cougar it would be making GBS threads. I don't know if it's like the fed ex arrow where once you see it you can't not see it or if the poop variable suddenly got switched to on. And then I started thinking it's only a matter of time until someone's game glitches out and gets a horse that actually, literally never stops making GBS threads and we see some footage of just spraying poop all across town as you gallop through like lovely paul revere.

For panthers? poo poo they are only ever in the one spot, bottom of braithwait estate. Basically ride along the road and if your horse gets spooked then jump off, hunker down, eagle eye up while whipping out that improved arrow and bow. Dead eye as soon as you see face. If there's no panther there, there's no panther today. Go do something else. It's just not worth camping over and over for. Exactly because when your guard is down is when you'll get pounced thinking "guess there's no panther this morning, either."

For cougars? You know where the NE trapper is?
From him, mark the elk waterfall pool in the far far far NE corner of the map, the picture of an elk, that I thought was a moose for all of yesterday, and kept trying to go check to respawn. It's not a moose. One of the faq's map says its a moose spawning ground too and it's a goddamn liar. There are no moose on the east -- only on the west glacier.

Anyway on the way from the trapper to the not-moose just ride like hell along the red dotted line along the trails and when your horse gets spooked, same deal, hop off, whip out that bow, dead eye as soon as you see face.

There are loving THREE on the way from the trapper to the moose. You do not have to try hard to find them. They find you. It doesn't matter if they're perfect or not. Do not even think about checking if they're perfect or not. Put an improved arrow down their throat, whistle for your poor horse, and then check if it was perfect.

Your horse is a predator finding genius. Your horse marks them on the map for you. It is not hard at all. Your horse will never find you a raccoon or muskrat. The hard part is remembering to switch to improved arrow, and not small game, because you saw that copperhead that ALSO spooked your horse, and you ruined the pelt and also the cougar bit your drat spine in half.

I have a question though. For Master Hunter 7 i'm supposed to lure both a predator and a herbivore and kill them both: is this simultaneous? Because Herbivores don't care how good the bait is, they run from predators. If I put them down on separate sides of the meadow I have to spin real fast in dead eye and the prey basically bolts and whoops that didn't work. If it's, like, do one and then the other while doing nothing else in between then okay. But simultaneous is really hard, and I've been abusing the fact that boar count as predator for some reason. But shooting the boar scares the deer. (wait I'm suddenly unsure - it only ever said 1/2 kill predator and boar. I think I just stopped reading the tooltip)

Yeah if I could give any advice it's do story missions until they give you manual dead eye painting. I went to gently caress off with hunting and it was a huge mistake. I'd get attacked at bridges and use a double barrreled shotgun in dead eye mode and it would make me put two into the same corpse like what are you even doing. Come on.

And then ONE more story mission got me manual dead eye. I literally do not understand why they punish you like this. It's one quest into chapter 2 when you're free to gently caress around anyway. Just get that first.

Do not put two arrows into a cougar that ruins the pelt. I don't even think you can dead eye two arrows in a round anyway.


I misunderstood so much. You were answering my question. Thank you. My problem is I cannot get both the predator and the prey in the same frame. You are not allowed to spin 180 and continue dead eye. Once you're not looking it un-paints the x. And I can't get them close enough they just spook each other away.

A thing that drives me crazy is: You cannot take the outfit you are wearing and make sure it is always available on your horse. You can make sure outfits you're not wearing are on your horse. As soon as they become the outfit you are wearing you're not allowed to put them on your horse.

If you buy a hat? gently caress you find a room idiot because that poo poo is your new outfit until you do.

Ok, I might be misunderstanding what you are describing then, because I've had no issue with adding or removing an outfit from the horse provided I saved it first, and while I've had weapons drop off the selection wheel, the outfits never have.

Okay so I got my custom outfit 1, right? If I'm not wearing it, I can put it on the horse. The instant I wear it, it stops being custom outfit 1, it becomes "custom outfit" no number. Whatever you are wearing is "custom outfit". The instant I buy a hat, that hat is part of "custom outfit". Custom outfit 1, the one I want, is back at camp, or in a hotel. I'm mismatched until I get back and put my good hat back on.

You gotta go into your wardrobe and keep adding the winter gunslinger to your horse's saved items. It keeps falling off for me but that one will keep you warm. It will, at least, warn you, when it removed your outfits and you don't have, for example, a cold weather outfit on the horse. That's how I know some bullshit is afoot, because my outfits all fell off my horse again one by one.

It's entirely possible i'm loving up somehow but my experience is that no matter what I do my outfits fall off my horse as I wear them and get changed and I'm having no end of trouble with it!
