I'm in Chapter 2 and just finished the satchel! It didn't take too long but I threw all hunting conventions out the window and just rode around one shotting the 3 star animals I needed with improved arrow/varmint rifle from the back of my horse as they ran away. Seemed like the most efficient way especially if you get the Legendary Buck trinket and tame the white Arabian horse first.

space uncle posted:I tried to find panthers for about an hour yesterday, Southwest of Braithwaite and east of Lagras. The only time I actually found one was when some lady challenged me to a race and a panther chased us to the finish line. Good Quality Pelt. I did find the last Killer Clue and I think I managed to get sexually assaulted Pulp Fiction style by a redneck swamp person though so at least I have that going for me. The panther never spawned for me in the east of Lagras location, but as soon as I tried Old Harry Fen (that forest area southeast of Braithwaite) and ran zig zags through it with my horse, I saw the red dot pop up on the minimap so quickly auto-aimed my bow at the creature and skewered it with an improved arrow. Perfect Panther pelt.  I recommend also saving before you enter the forest so that if you find it and you don't get a perfect pelt, reload the save and it may spawn as pristine next time around. Saves alot of time.

Wow those treasure hunts really give a crazy amount of $. I upgraded the entire camp completely, mostly just from one treasure chest and I'm only in Ch2 lol.Hobo Clown posted:Are "complete" entries required for 100% or for any other bonus? I have a couple legendaries that somehow committed suicide so I have their compendium entries but I'll never actually get to kill one. You need to kill 5 legendary animals for the 100% completion achievement (you can see the 100% checklist in the menu). But legendary animal kills aren't needed for anything else as far as I know (not even for the study & skin all animals achievements). They just provide materials for useful trinkets & cosmetic clothes. I assume since the animals died they are now crossed out on your map? In which case I also assume you got credit for it in the checklist. winter.mute posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9s-Z0LWqbA Nice. The one I got was standing completely still out in the open NW of Strawberry. I think it was drinking from the stream running alongside the road. They definitely aren't as elusive as the panther.

Commie NedFlanders posted:Idk how much time I’ve wasted trying to do this. I go out hunting a lot but over half of the time when I have some great pelts I end up dying somehow dumb before getting it back to the trapper Make sure you save after you get a Perfect Pelt and also you should be handing them into Pearson at your base camp if you want the 99 item slot satchel (the Trapper is for cosmetics and challenge-related equipment upgrades). And of course you should pretend you're Tom Hardy because what's a life without pelts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yveQv7RsEE4&t=45s

They'll come up and snatch the body. Cool. I also like how if you stick around after a mission where you had a big shootout you can watch the Lawmen come and pick up all the bodies. Reminds me of the paramedics in GTA.

I'm up to Chapter 4 now but I got pickpocketed so I caught & hogtied the thief and realised I was standing outside the police station. So I figured hey why not carry the criminal in to it and see what happens. But... apparently a witness thought I was kidnapping the dude so I had to promptly dump him in the street and split before the cops showed up.  turtlecrunch posted:It isn't really dynamic or anything, the main story goes the way it goes regardless of what you do. The ending has slight flavor differences based on what end of the honor scale you are at I think, and then you do get to make one significant mission choice in that chapter. Some of the 'vision' cutscenes have different animals too. At the end of one mission if you're high honour you see an elk but if you're low honour then you see a wolf instead or something.

a peck of pickled peckers posted:Every time I’ve found a perfect moose, I haven’t been looking for it. Now I have one more outfit set to get from the trapper, and guess what the last ingredient is. There's a theory that RDR2's animal spawns work on the same cycles as GTAV's car spawns, where you'll encounter certain species either more often or more rarely depending on the current spawn cycle.

This was probably already mentioned, but I just encountered a bug where if you pick up a cigarette card after completing the card quest, it can reopen the quest causing it to be forever stuck in your log. Luckily I had a recent save to fall back on. Also holy hell is it hard to find American Robins. I ended up finding two spawn on that tiny island west of Braithwaite Manor but man was that annoying.

clockworx posted:I did the same thing. I was zipping through the main missions to chapter 4 but then realized I wanted to do everything else, so i started over and mostly explored and hunted, and then going back to missions when I need to switch up. It's not a bad idea to zip through the missions until you unlock everything. Hunting requests and the Exotics quests are ones that come to mind since those are things you can keep an eye out for while doing other stuff (finding dinosaur bones, cave paintings etc). But I wouldn't start Exotics until you have Herbalism 9 (find all plants) in progress, otherwise you'll end up having to find the exotics all over again since they don't count retroactively.

 Finally finished the 100% completion. Don't think I could've done it without the guides and maps found online as well as some Netflix to get me through the more mundane things it made me do (looking at you Gambler 8). Timeless Appeal posted:I feel like they thought players would be throwing back food constantly for health bonuses during firefights and that never really happened. I completed the 70 gold medal achievement as I played through and quite often eating food wasn't even an option due to the 'complete mission without any health items' requirement. Certainly chewed alot of tobacco to get all those headshots and accuracy % requirements though!

bobjr posted:Cutscenes apparently count, so a lot of them are meant to be played again. I was wondering why so many missions felt like they had insanely short time limits You'd think that but they don't! Time stands still during cutscenes but doesn't slow down when using deadeye, so sometimes you'll fail that objective if you spam deadeye too much. There are atleast 2 missions where skipping a cutscene breaks the time requirement but otherwise skipping them is fine. Also if you die or fail in a mission then that often causes time, headshots and accuracy objectives to automatically fail. Meaning you have to restart the mission from the start. Anti-Hero posted:Yeah, that sucks. Yeah I really hope Rockstar patch that. A lot of the objectives are virtually impossible using stock gear which is why you're better off going for gold medals as you play through the game, or just starting a new save and getting them that way.

clockworx posted:Has anyone done the full Algernon Wasp mission (Duchesses and other animals) before the epilogue? From reading online, there's sometimes a bug where the orchids don't appear, but I also see people saying that some of the exotics - specifically the lady slipper orchid at the lumber camp site don't appear until the epilogue. The online videos appear to always hit that one, so I was trying to figure out if I truly had to wait on this one or if my game has a bug. I completed it fine in chapter 6, but there are some confusing quirks that people think are bugs when they really aren't. For starters, the orchids don't appear at all until you have activated the quest and secondly if you collect orchids in advance before you're up to the part of the quest that requires them then the game will limit you so that there's 1 left (e.g. if you need 10 you'll be stuck at 9/10). This limit makes those orchids "disappear" from the game temporarily until you're up to that part of the quest. Then you just need to collect the 10th one and you're done. Also, if you're going for 100% then also make sure you have Herbalism 9 (collect all herbs) active before starting the quest so you don't have to waste time later collecting them all again later.

If you hate the 3 star animal system like I do then you can also save-scum to keep the pelt on your horse and load it if you die. You can also save/load when encountering a 1 star animal to respawn it as a 3 star animal and in some cases save/loading can even make an animal respawn as a different variation (like, turn a Panther into a Florida Panther). Useful if you want to complete the compendium or get those study & skin every animal achievements/trophies.

Hobo Clown posted:I can't see it ever having the legs that GTAV had because of the setting. RDRO has a beautiful crafted world but sometimes you just want to motorcycle stunt jump into a airport hangar so you can crash a stolen plane into a ferris wheel. Maybe they should've kept Red Dead 2 as a single player game (it's definitely long enough to warrant it) and added a Wild West themepark to GTAO that turns a patch of desert into a town with period guns & outfits for people to have their cowboy shooties in.

Yates posted:I had the same kind of thing with the Professor I did the first couple quests with Arthur but after that every time it would pop up I couldn't make it to him in time for the next part. I'd drop everything and race up to his lab and by the time I got there the quest marker would be gone and I wouldn't be able to enter. I camped out there for days on end and still nothing, finally I said gently caress it and "finished" the game. Later with John I went up there and I was able to open the door and the Professor was dead. John says "Oh Professor..." like he's sad or some poo poo. He doesn't have any loving idea who this dude is, only some scribbles in a book from almost a decade before. That's actually the only outcome for that quest though and Arthur says the same thing. There's 3 parts to the quest, the 3rd being discovering his corpse and it doesn't matter whether you do it after the epilogue or not.

Hobo Clown posted:"Defensive Playing Style" sounds interesting but like... just add passive mode. They're way over complicating this. It works for me. It's like a cowboy roleplay enforcer that doesn't completely split you off from the population as being a passive ghost does. I guess it's not ideal if you purely only want to hunt & fish alone and not get involved in random shootouts occasionally.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:I did an experiment and threw a hog-tied dude into some shallow water and he, as one would, attempted to keep his head above the water (he was face down). Along come a pair of dudes on horseback and they approach the hog-tied sucker and stare at him. Finally, rather than have them cut him free, he just gets up and runs away screaming, apparently having been mind-freed by the two horseback guys. A crime report was not triggered, the two horseback guys just kept going after the brief "pause to telekinetically free their npc brethren" and I caught up to the escapee, tied him up again and this time made sure he was able to luxuriate in waters deep enough to meet his specific needs. As far as I know, hogtied NPC's (and yourself if you get hogtied in RDO) free themselves from their binds after a certain period of struggling.
