Ah gently caress, an npc died during a mission and I wasn't paying attention to which button does what and I ended up restarting the whole mission. I wouldn't mind if you could skip the horse-riding parts before you actually get to mission.

Is there a massive black horse with no saddle at anyone else's camp? I think it's a pre-order bonus but I have to break him myself.

Also I found the volcanic pistol and some of the other items free in a catalogue. The only thing so far that I had by default was the clothes and maybe the money? Not sure but I started with about $200 with I promptly blew on making my cattleman look ridiculously good.

All I bought so far was the holster upgrade because apparently guns can wear down and break?

I am only a couple hours in but so far I feel like this game feels a little more mature than the last few GTAs or even the first RDR. I'm sure I'll run into some sort of Herbert moooooooon thing soon enough but for now it's pretty refreshingly restrained.

I hope online mode gives you a strong incentive to hunt, fish and generally explore. It was great early on when I had no money but ever since that bank robbery in chapter 3 I had more money than I knew what to do with.

That's why you murder the witnesses. And the witnesses that see you kill those witnesses. And the witnesses to that and oh look everyone in Valentine is dead how did that happen.

I discovered early on that hogtying someone eliminates them as a witness without any karma hit. One time I was poking around a camp site and when the owner came back and saw me I hogtied him and left him there, which is arguably worse than shooting him since there were lots of wolves in the area.

MNIMWA posted:

So I left camp up in Beaver Hollow and was almost immediately ambushed by the Murfree. They sent a flaming wagon at me and my horse bucked me off, so I ran back to saddle up again and the game told me that an enemy had followed me back to camp. Does this come up later? I've been back to camp a couple times since that happened and so far nothing has really come of it. I did immediately turn around and murder them all, so maybe it cancelled out?

That happened to me early on immediately after the "get drunk with Lenny" mission in chapter 2. I think it's just a thing that can happen sometimes like any other random encounter.

So on top of the Varmint Rifle ammo issue I mentioned earlier, the game has decided that I can’t give Molly the pocket mirror I found because, in a body horror twist, she lives inside the wall of the chapter 4 manor.

Okay.

Lost all my varmint rifle ammo again last night. The first time it happened was after the (Ch. 3) kidnapped by O'Driscolls mission and the most recent time was after the (Ch. 4) riverboat heist mission. So for me at least, the problem seems to happen whenever your weapons are removed from you, which is what they have in common.

I've been closing the game between sessions instead of just going into sleep mode and that seems to solve problems like this. Glad I invested in that SSD so it doesn't take too long to load the game every time.

Funny thing about that quest line: I did it before Chapter 6 officially began and the last scene before you get that title card is you running into her with a john in a manner that was probably meant to be seen before you do those missions. I'd hate to think I gave her all that money to take her son somewhere else only for her to immediately go back to turning tricks in Annesburg.

Most of my online experience so far has been getting gunned down (and gunning down) people wandering around in the wilderness. I tried a large scale TDM but it only really confirmed that competitive multiplayer with R*'s clunky-rear end controls is never gonna be much fun. The missions seem fun though, with the choices at the end, and there's plenty to do all over the place.

I did some King of the Castle event which was just 30 people all killing eachother and all I had to show at the end was a few bucks and all of my repeater ammo gone.

It's funny because it's almost an anti-bounty. No one hunts you, but since you're already at DEAD OR ALIVE you can't get more bounties added. I beat up a guy in St. Denis (it was that guy that mugs you if you follow him) and had a witness start running away. I couldn't catch him in time and he reached a lawman, and instead of chasing me or adding a bounty it just said MOVE ALONG in big letters and nothing happened. Chapter 6 Arthur is bound to the honor scale, Earth laws cannot touch him.

I've had that happen outside of that sort of area. I tied up that rear end in a top hat leaning on a wanted poster in Rhodes for the Mr. Black and Mr. White mission and the cop just told me to scram. It's nice that they let you off with a warning essentially so long as the guy you knock out or tie up goes hostile first.

If anyone pre-ordered the game you can get both a free arabian horse and a dual-action revolver in online. The horse is at any stable with the other arabians on the menu and the gun is on any fence. The horse is especially useful because it's a direct upgrade from the awful ones you start with.

These free roam pvp events would be a lot better if they split you into teams instead of it being completely free-for-all. I just did one where you need to grab a horse and take it somewhere but it never reached the destination so nobody got anything when it was done.
They also need to make it so you don't actually use your own ammo during the events. Sick of being out of rifle ammo. At least during the events it will spawn you with a minimum amount of ammo every time you die.

disagree, the scene-setting for the final fight with Micah might be better if you go for the money but Arthur's sendoff if you stick with John has way more dramatic weight

just the rueful acceptance of his lot as Dutch can do nothing but catatonically slink away and Micah futilely curse and scream

"I tried. In the end...I did."


I'm not even really sure why Micah attacks Arthur on the mountain or what he and Dutch were doing up there in the first place. Did they need the key for the lockbox Arthur got from Abigail or something?

The money house is overrated. I probably make money faster killing birds north of Saint Denis. Herons are common and good ones drop 3 feathers worth $1.50 each and some of the less common birds have feathers worth over $2. A 3 star small croc is worth $10 between the parts and carcass so I usually grab one while I'm out along the coast.

Saved up enough for a pump shotgun and won a king of the castle match fairly handily. Fun fact about that mode: If you control the spot and you get incapacitated you will continue to accumulate points until you properly die. You can usually just lay there until you bleed out because everyone's too busy shooting other people to notice control hasn't changed hands yet. All I really need now is a lancaster repeater and a set of cold weather clothes and I think that'll count as "winning" RDO.

The only thing about the epilogue that confuses me, and maybe it’s addressed in-game and I missed it, is that you spend the whole game avoiding a persistent dead-or-alive bounty for your gang in blackwater, then suddenly in the epilogue John just strolls into city hall and takes out a home loan and builds a ranch a minute outside town? Maybe enough time passed before the epilogue that the statute of limitations kicked in or something I dunno. I get that John takes pains to use a fake name (mostly) but still, you’d think blackwater would be the one place he’d wanna stay the hell away from if he wanted to put down roots and build a new life

Because it's a prequel and the first game needs to happen.
