    Man, some of you guys are nuts.

    I guess I will probably start over tomorrow. I can't find anything about finding Mo again, and goddamn it I want that outfit. Sigh.

    Also, I think the Volcanic Pistol is better than the starting pistol.

    At least save, exit, and retry. Maybe some bounties repopulate like the bandit hideouts?

    I'm not sure what happened, I guess I skipped over him somehow. I've played probably 10 hours since seeing his bounty, different guys keep showing up. I've probably sunk... 15-20 hours into this so far. It is a kickass game, and I can do things a little smarter this time around.

    Stick around the ranch until I get the lasso, for example.

    When you get to Mexico, ride west to Escalera, go to the gun store, and buy the rifle there.

    I believe the way it works is that whichever horse you have hitched at a safehouse (provided you save) will be the horse that comes when you whistle. The "garage" type situation you're referring to can only be achieved with horse deeds. When you use the deed, it automatically makes that type of horse the one you can call. If you want a garage, you have to buy a bunch of deeds.

    This can also be used to save apparently, as it autosaves when you switch horses.

    Also it took me back to a safe house, but I didn't keep my money from anything I did, and still had all the stuff I had recently sold. So I am guessing not.

    Finally got the stupid free roam challenge for Shooting someone's hat off, then shooting the gun out of their hand within 3 seconds.

    Also if anyone is wondering, the 4th mount unlocks at 22 in multiplayer. Edit- The single shot sniper rifle is 21 I think, might be 20 though.

    While running with some friends in a private free roam session outside of the fort with the cannons in the Mexico part of the map, I'm standing precariously close to the outside wall to avoid being shot at while smoking a cigarette IRL. My friends are in the fort absolutely destroying Federali with cannon fire, but someone gets into a spot of trouble and gets pinned down at some crates inside.

    Well since everyone is pretty busy shooting gatling guns and cannons, I tell him I'll be there in a second and call my horse. Horse comes flying across the plateau at breakneck speed...and just brutally slams into the wall directly in front of me, splattering blood all over the place and snapping it's neck.

    My horse killed itself by running into a wall. All I could say was "Holy shit, did you guys just fucking see that?"

    I couldn't stop laughing, it was just so unexpected.

    It reminded me a lot of when I call my dog and he comes running across the kitchen floor after it's been waxed, except with more fail.

    A couple things:

    #1 - When it said "Avatar Award Unlocked" I shit myself. NO ONE MENTIONED THIS, EVER. Rocking the fuck out of my sombrerro.

    #2 - Horse deeds are infinate? I assumed they were a one time use purchase, which is why I havent looked into them, fearing Id spend all that money and instantly get mauled by a cougar.

    #3 - I had to use the map that came with the game to find the Thieve's thing. I wanted to buy the suit. I felt WICKED cheap about it but they don't really do that good a job of alerting you when you find a new location, and the map is pretty useless zoomed out.

    This is my favorite game ever, however.

    Had a frustrating, glitch-filled evening of multiplayer tonight. I invited a friend to join me and formed a Party on XBL, and we posse'd up for a bit and killed some dudes and it was all good, and then after ten minutes I lost connection. And when I reconnected, he was kicked off. And then when he reconnected I was et cetera et cetera.

    So I tried making a private game and inviting him to it. Same thing happened over and over. Finally it "took," and we connected, except we were invisible to each other. I got notices when he died but otherwise nothing - I couldn't see him on my minimap or in game. We agreed to meet at the Armadillo sheriff's office. He started rampaging through Armadillo, killing lawmen and horses and civilians...meanwhile, I was standing there in the totally open main street of Armadillo as horses and civilians and lawmen meandered by cheerfully.

    This happened over and over. I am really, really annoyed. Glitches are one thing, but when it feels like the game is singling you out, that's another thing altogether.

    Ok this needs to be in the OP:

    Regarding the glitchiness of multiplayer

    Public free roam is currently fucked. You will eventually be booted back to single player, and you will be unable to join a new session thereafter. Don't try to rejoin your buddy. Don't try to start up a private server. Don't do anything. Just go back to the dashboard, restart the game, and stop playing in public free roam.

    Private free roam is perfectly fine. Also, public games of gang shootout, free for all shoutout, and grab the bag all work relitively well. It just seems to be public free roam that is messed.

    So, if you get an error in public free mode, restart the game. You will continue to get errors again and again until you do. Stick to private. Invite your buds. Invite the metatag folks online.

    We had a 10 person private free roam going tonight, with a full posse (achievement get!) and a few stragglers who ran with us. We did a lot of gang hideouts, some stage coach shenanigans, and eventually settled for taking over a mexican fort and seeing how high we could get our bounty. I think the highest was one dude who got to $4925 and then got ran over by a horse that was running around like a retard. He was pretty pissed, $75 away from the challenge.

    Edit:
    Ugh. We were all holed up in the fort, fighting off the army. I had to get to $5000 bounty to complete a challenge. I'm doing great, keeping safe and popping off dudes left and right. A horse comes and knocks me from cover, leaving me exposed to the enemy and I die. I was at $4975. Arg.

    Ah, it was $25. Even worse.

    Just be sure to hitch him once to set him as your new horse, and you'll be set. The deed might do that automatically, I dunno.

    Can they still one-shot you in single-player?

    Yes sir.

    So is the horse deed like the "Specialist Map", where you use it and its gone from your inventory?

    The way it was kind of descibed as a psudo-garage made me think ultimately you could get all horse deeds, and just summon them at any time by picking the deed in your inventory.

    Horses are by far the one thing that bothers me with this game. I saw someone talk about getting "loyalty" messages about the horse - Ive never seen this and Im about 3-4 hours in. Ive only ridden 2 horses the whole game.

    Breaking horses is kind of pointless, which is unfortunate because its fun. Usually Ill break a horse, ride it in a circle around my current horse to test its speed out, and then whistle and get my old horse back, and ride it around to compare. Since (as far as I can tell) you cant bring a horse back and sell it or leave it in the stable that Bonnie has, I end up breaking a lot of horses and then just leaving them. And without any stats on my horses displayed anywhere, it's tedius to determine if a horse is any better.

    All of this has made it so I haven't even had the desire to enter the "War Horse" code I have from Best Buy, because I have no idea how I'll be able to really tell which one it is, and even though it says its the "fastest and strongest", theres no way to really see that. You can test speed by running in circles, but there's no way at all to prove if a horse is strong.

    I forget the name, but it starts with an E and is the southwestern most town. You can fast travel there. Run along the town and up into the fort, or manor, or whatever you want to call it.

    You can hold up in there as there is only one gate that can open. Lawmen will come from all around but can only enter through there. I did experience a few of them mysteriously come up behind us, but that was rare and probably a result of them glitching through a wall somewhere.

    You can also get up on the roof by jumping up and climbing the house at the front door. Just be careful because you're more vulnerable from all sides up there.

    The easiest place for fewer people is in the small tower inside the fort, with stairs leading up. Taking cover up top you are nearly perfectly safe. You just have to run down every now and then to collect ammo from the dead bodies.

    Also, keep in mind that all actual gamerscore based achievements revolved around free roam specify "public" free roam. You can still do all your challenges in private, thankfully.
