Found a naked guy in a cave living with wolves He tried to kill me so I killed him and his wolves too One had a perfect pelt
At the sister in laws house for Thanksgiving and I bonded with my 6 year old niece by playing RDR2 with her because apparently her and her dad love playing it I thought that meant she just rode horses around and pet dogs and stuff but she had no hesitation killing some travelers. So proud of her.
The wife gripes at me when I play in front of our 5yo. I was finishing up a fishing mission one day when they got home and was all, “it’s fine, I’m just fishing”. 30 seconds later, Arthur shouts “son of a bitch” and I got the stink eye.
I found this at night when I went to that house to rob it and had to chase down one of the occupants who decided to run. Found the pig and dead guy in the dark, that was pretty fucked up. Threw his relatives in there with him and tossed in a molotov for good measure.
This hasn’t happened ever until the last two nights I’ve played but I was in St Denis and pushed Y to get on my horse. Instead I attacked someone and it led to all hell breaking loose.
Yeah fuck all that. I'm trying to spend as much time playing as Arthur as possible. Disclaimer: I have no idea if he actually dies but given the plot of RDR1 I'd be shocked if Arthur lives.
while it's kind of ahistorical to include the KKK in a game set in 1899, i'm still really glad they're in it. i stumbled across my first klan meeting tonight. i didn't have any dynamite, but figured sniping them with my springfield would still be pretty fun. as i was getting into position, they started their cross burning. but before i could start shooting, one of the klansmen got too close to the cross and caught on fire. the rest of them, instead of helping, took off in every direction. it was a truly rewarding experience
I walked up to the leader afterwards who was walking away slowly. Hogtied Him and threw him in the cross for good measure.
I was just exploring last night, and decided to camp by this pretty cool river. As I do that, these two clowns that threatened me way earlier tried to ambush me again, so I killed them. Threw them on my campfire, but nothing happened, so then I took out one of my flaming bottles. As I threw it they finally caught on fire, but I already was going to throw the bottle, so I dropped it and lit myself on fire and died too hahah
Walked up on 3 of them starting a burning, kind of startled them, and the two holding the cross dropped it on themselves, the leader cursed me, and I lit all of them on fire.
that's pretty much the only time I hunt anymore. during chapter 2 I did a lot of hunting legendaries and just hunting in general - riding around anywhere i was going checking eagle eye regularly. Outside of the two things I need for the extra tonics satchel, I don't "need" anything from anymore animals so when I'm on the little 2-3 minute ride from train/coach to camp I'll equip varment and bow and shoot some shit if I see it.
train ran over and ruined my perfect boar belt last night. was mad. ready to rob a train after that incident.
N of annesburg I saw a body hanging from a tree over the trail. When I stopped those fucking inbreds ran out of the woods at me
i keep finding a hanging body, with body parts all around it, hanging from a bridge. but i cant inspect it or anything.
Found one in the woods, was trying to do the ties that bind us side mission but I keep missing the 5th wanted poster.
ive stumbled upon it twice, so it might be just outside a city. i'll have to notate where i found it if i come across it again. should have googled it earlier.
There should be a note around it somewhere, stuck into some wood with a knife. Use eagle eye if you can’t find it. It is different situation than the hill people using a hanged person as bait to kill you.
i was pretty close to camp when i found it (i think), but i imagine it's randomized. just keep riding around at night
Yeah if you come up on the bodies with the blood trails that go forever and no head just try to find the head and there is a map sticking out the mouth It’s a mission
This explains why I haven't found it. I hate playing when it's night so I always set up camp when the sun goes down and sleep until morning.
Just did a bounty where I had to go kill some Lemoyne raider captain. I dragged his body up and down the streets of Saint Denis while constantly greeting everyone I saw. Then I picked him up, took him into the fancy saloon, and dropped his corpse in the middle of a table where people were eating. I love the reactions in this game. I also love barreling through doors and scaring the towns folk on the other side.
Someone told me I look like I escaped from a circus, but to be fair I am wearing a yellow and green three piece suit and a Viking helmet.
I run into trees constantly during the day. I'm not sure my horse would survive if I tried to play when it's dark.
Came strolling into Saint Denis for the first time with my finest town wear, ready for business @ the general store. Tie up, dismount, punch my horse, horse kicks me solidly into the mud and bolts, walk of shame into the middle of town calming that filthy animal.
Bought a gold horse for $850. No less than 2 minutes later, as soon as I leave town, I’m ambushed by bounty hunters for a $15 bounty. Horse dies, I’m 38 hot
Look at it with binoculars before you shoot (and hit the study button) and it’ll tell you if it’s a 3* animal and what weapon to kill it with for a perfect pelt
Pro tip for people that hate just riding long distances. Get off the road. It can be faster to take the direct route AND it's great for exploring and finding cool shit.
The easiest way to hunt for perfect pelts I’ve found is: 1) Make sure you’re using the right weapon. Anything smaller than a rabbit, use the bow with small game arrows. Anything between a rabbit and a beaver in size, use the Varmint Rifle. Anything bigger than a beaver, use a rifle (bolt-action for up close, sniper for long distance). 2) Go into eagle eye and look for the track of a 3* of whatever animal you are going after. I found this much easier than trying to find them using binoculars. Any bigger animals that run in packs (deer, bison, etc.) you can just hang back and ADS to see what * rank they are. 3) Go for crit shots. If you don’t crit shot some animals and they survive the first shot, their pelt will no longer be 3*. Once I started using eagle eye, hunts became much, much easier.
The buck antler trinket really helps with getting better quality pelts too. Find and kill the legendary buck, take it to a fence and have them craft it for you. I found that as long as I killed the animal I was hunting with one shot (or one shot and stab it when it drops), the pelt would stay the same rating.
Done both, seems like it doesn’t matter. Got one 3 star pelt others all 1 Star. Maybe need to head shot them
