I lassoed a 'zebra' as part of one mission but haven't tried with anything else. Kinda wanted to try it with the lion later on during same mission but it wouldn't let me, had to shoot it.

I don't fancy trying on a bear though :pac:

That didnt end well for me

You just run away? To be honest I have made a lot of money killing these bounty hunters and looting. Don't forget to try kill their horses too. You can get loot from the saddle bags.

Maybe avoid them till you unlock the next deadeye level to paint the particular areas. Then Use your dead eye and chewing tobacco/snake oil. You will mince them once you get the hang of it. As long as you are not in a hot zone they don't come back for awhile.

I don't want to spoil anything but if you have not got duel wielding. Go do the mechia mission as soon as you can.

Yeah I don't mind the bounty hunters too much. You can see them coming before they see you, and they always have decent loot and generally carry platinum/gold jewellery. Made a good bit of money from that. As you say the saddle bags are good too, I didn't cop onto that for a while, found a couple of gold nuggets in them.

Though I did eventually cave and pay my large bounty in West Elizabeth, as once I'd killed the bounty hunters a good few times, they came with a couple extra as well as hunting dogs! It just wasn't worth the hassle when I was trying to hunt!

Finished this last night. Played like a bastard the last few days. Very happy with the ending and scope for continued play.

would like to have been able to upgrade Beechers Hope or to personalise it, but I guess that will be a major factor in Online.

At any rate, can complete challenges and play at my leisure without the nagging feeling I must keep playing the story

Lads I'm seriously about to lose the plot over these f***ing ambushes.

I killed the first legendary animal you're brought out to hunt with one of the gang and couldn't do anything with the skin, so I dropped it in the camp thinking it's safe here cause the game gave me a message saying that it was safe and off I go on another mission. 2 minutes in to that, it tells me that my skin is gone cause I abandoned it. :mad: WTF was I supposed to do with it?

You have to bring the legendary pelts to the trapper.

Did any of you and your horse ever accidently collide with someone else riding their horse? Happened to me a few times, and when it does, I find a gun pointing at me.

Stumbled into a pig farm, the farmer was a bit on edge and pulled a gun a bit early for my liking. So I killed him and fed him to his own pigs.

I was just galloping out of valentine after picking up a bounty mission and my horse ran over a guy on another horse and killed him. Ended up being chased out of town and just after I got away a bunch of guys tried to ambush me down by the river...

I’ve been going around exploring the map and it’s extremely difficult to explore without something happening that ends in somebody ending up dead!

This was in the south of New Hannover I think?

I wonder is there a way side/stranger missions can be replayed, or if it becomes an option after the story is finished? I only see story missions to be replayed here, but you could replay stranger missions in GTA V if I remember right.

Yeh. There was one I think side mission where a guy was coming out of a woods and I accidentally pulled a gun on him, he panicked and just literally died.

Varik

Has anyone had this happen?

You're hunting a snake and it magically dies, no more head just dead. Has happened to me twice, was in dead eye trying to get a clean kill and before I shot it dies.

No wagon painting. 0/10

Wagon painting would be cool. Being out in the fresh air and coating wood sounds pretty darn relaxing.

Mitch Is a prick ... any time I get together with him for a mission it’s ends up a disaster and a blood bath

Some data files point to that you can buy multiple types of wagons for Online. I'm guessing you'll be able to paint them ones

No interest in wagons, but one of them has a Gatling gun attached :pac:

I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for a week now and I love it. Looking forward to Red Dead online too.

I've been mainly playing the game as an honorable character but i've had to kill quite a lot. Most of them were just bandits and outlaws though. Also doing a lot of hunting too.

After you skin an animal and pick up the carcas, how do you give it back to the butcher at camp? Every time I bring the carcas to him, the body gets teleported to another area of the camp.

Just leave them on your horse and they will be in the menu when you go to donate.

I was passing some people being held up. I didn’t save them and it said if I do something there is a reward. I missed where to bring the horse and Carraige. Where can I read the narrative or story instructions?

Also what are my options?

Really needs to be a better way to store pelts. You should be able to drop them in the camp, store them in a bail and sell them all together! The larger pelts are a pain there should be a way to stash those and come back later with another horse or 2, then sell them. Go hunting then go to the trapper one time for all the boost stuff.

Came across loads of cabins on my travels wondering if Rockstar will release DLC where you make your own cabin like the way Bethesda released the Hearthfire dlc with Skyrim, would tie the lumber yards into the side quest! Some cabins have crops also and herbs to be looted!

Yeah pelts are an issue, I was at the end of chapter 2 and couldn't donate it and the mission made me drop the perfect bear one because I had to take a passenger on the horse. :mad:

Drumpot

What’s the crack with home robberies? I’ve had two people give me places to rob but I don’t see the rob house icon on the map! And I don’t know where to go back and look at where your man told
Me I could find it? What screen is that?

Well they are optional missions. I don't think they count towards overall progression.

For large pelts, I read the best thing to do is borrow/steal/tame a 2nd horse, hold up for long whistle which makes your main horse follow you. Bond with the new horse on the way to the hunt so it doesn't run off first chance it gets. Then you can store 2 large pelts on 1 trip.

I was very much looking forward to this game and I've played about 6/7 hours of it so far. It is extraordinarily impressive in terms of scale, detail, atmosphere and just how much there is to do. It's nuts. You really do feel like each time you set out from camp that anything could happen and you never know where you'll end up. But at the same time I'm starting to realise... I just couldn't be fucking arsed.
I couldn't be arsed washing. Couldn't be arsed shaving. Couldn't be arsed doing DIY on the camp. Couldn't be arsed changing my clothes. Couldn't be arsed having to regularly eat. Couldn't be arsed brushing down my horse. Couldn't be arsed crafting shit. Couldn't be arsed being nice. Couldn't be arsed stopping to take it all in. Couldn't be arsed having to take care of things. Couldn't be arsed dealing with lads starting on me and then I get into crap with the law. Couldn't be arsed with the desperate controls. Couldn't be arsed with more convoluted explanations of basic systems than Dark Souls.
Most of all I couldn't be arsed taking time out of real life... To pretend that I'm back in a sort of real life.
Now, I'm pretty sure I'd have been obsessed with this game when I was in college around the time of the first game but now... Just be fun please. Tell me a story and have responsive controls. Do something a little new, instead of just adding copious amounts of micromanaging.

To be fair a lot of those sentiments are probably because I just finished God of War the day before this came out which I thought was a wonderfully coherent and satisfying piece of work (although it did have an excessive loot problem) but yeah... So far, I couldn't be arsed.

I'll keep playing cos there's a good chance I'll get past all that once things make proper sense in my head and I start enjoying it, but at the moment playing the game kinda feels like a second job.

I 'found' a cool bear hat after going hunting with Charles. I thought once you wear a new hat, it gets added to your hat collection? I headed back to camp to my clothes and it isn't in my hat selection. Anyone know if we can store hats we find?
