    You're a fucking dick when people are nutso. "I just recalled I had something to do back on planet earth."

    The three best horses have deeds available in general stores. If they're listed as not available and you haven't bought that deed, then you haven't broken one yet. Press Y on their deed to get a brief description of the horse. The one you get from Bonnie is one of them. The next is a white stallion, which you can find in Mexico, and the last is a black horse, somewhere in West Elizabeth.

    Duels, and a lot of other things, are really poorly explained. They needed to work a hell of a lot more on their mission structure. There aren't really a lot of tutorials.

    Also hey for the Bollard Twins outfit: do Bollard Twins bounties ever start showing up again? I just keep getting anonymous Walton gang boys. I guess I don't really care that much because it isn't as cool as a poncho but I'd like to collect the outfits.

    Where are you looking for the Bollard Twins wanted posters? I'm pretty sure you only find them near the McFarlane ranch (although once I completed the challenges to unlock the outfit, the Bollard Twins bounties disappeared even from there.

    Hmmm. I guess I look on the map, but I found them at Armadiller most of the time. Maybe they don't pop up on the map until you activate them by being in town? Like, usually I see a guy put one up and then see a little skull on the map.

    Hm. I'll check it out. Where are bounties posted at the ranch?

    Bollard Twins bounties appear at McFarlane Ranch. Walton Gang at Armadillo. Treasure Hunters at Rathskeller Fork. Mexican Banditos at Chuparosa, and random criminals at Blackwater.

    The best way I've found to get bounties to come up is to do an activity in town, then rest there for a night.

    One thing that has really surprised me so far is how much I still enjoy traveling between locations. Something about actively riding my horse across the beautiful frontier is just endlessly appealing.

    Riding around in South Cholla Springs last night I think I stumbled onto a whole army of wolves. I was hunting around for a few wolves to complete one of the Hunter Challenges. Well I got way more than I bargained for, as I spent the next 10 minutes alternating between fighting off the seemingly endless waves of wolf packs (5-6 at a time) and trying to skin them in the very short interval between attacks. When the dust had cleared and I finally scared away the last few attackers, I counted 30 wolf pelts, 30 slabs of wolf meat, and 11 wolf hearts. At least I got around $1000 for my troubles 8-)

    Damnit, letting the Xbox sit always seems to bring problems. Try and get it working and you can play with your good bar friends! :(

    That's the plan. I fucked around with it for about 15 minutes--you know putting it in different positions, turning it upside down, that kind of thing. It was clearly fucked, so I just took it to UPS and shipped off to be repaired. Should get it back in 2-3 weeks, so hopefully you guys will still be play. At least I don't have to wait for them to send me a coffin anymore.

    So I deliver his package and return to him. I can give him the $1000 or keep it for myself (or give it to him, kill him and take the money). For anyone who has gotten further than I have, is there any advantage to letting him have the money? There's usually a decent return in missions like this, but if so, it'll be later down the road. If there's no reason to let him have the money, I could really use it.

    Seriously bros. What's the strategy for knife-hunting cougars?

    So far, my strategy is:

    1. Find a location that tends to have cougars (of course)
    2. Stay on your horse.
    3. Jog/trot your horse around to try and bait a cougar into attacking.
    4. When the cougar attacks, try to swipe at him with your knife from horseback.
    5. Accept that step 4 will fail.
    6. Once your horse is dead and you're on-foot, face the cougar and hold LT to ready your knife.
    7. Time your strike so that you're mid-swing when the cougar is lunging at you.
    8. Don't be surprised when step 7 fails too.
    9. Reload your previous save.

    I have about a 1/5 success rate with this strategy. It is a bad strategy. I hope it's possible to roll out of the way of a cougar strike and run up on the cougar on your own terms, but I haven't had a chance to try that.

    You can't complete the mission until you give it to him. Completing the mission goes toward your completion and is a necessary step in unlocking an outfit.

    Rolling doesn't work. My strategy's pretty much the same as yours; pull out knife, try to hit cougar midlunge, if cougar knocks me down, pray I don't die, immediately guzzle medicine as soon as I stand back up, try again. It worked for me, although I do recommend saving between cougars. Keep at it, the reward for getting level 5 hunter is niiiiice.

    Oh, but get off your horse beforehand. Head to the general area where cougars are around, then hop on and search for them on foot. You need the advantage of not having to waste time getting off your horse, and all you're doing is getting your horse in the crossfire.

    No, you've done the initial part of the quest. It'll keep popping up again as you play som more. Look for the purple circles/question marks to trigger the next section of it, or any other stranger quests. Basically, it'll happen for you too when you reach the final part of it.

    I ended up going to the area where the boars are and just waited, took forever when I was looking for them, but of course when I was doing the boars I got attacked by like, 6 of them. I just walked around in the area and waited to hear them, then I'd crouch and pull out my knife and slash over and over again.

    So I gave him the money and promptly slit his throat. Another man in the building pointed his gun at me, but I stood still so he backed off. No bounty, no hit to honour, mission complete. Now I'm wondering: will I need Mr. Tollets for anything else? Is there any reason whatsoever to let him live?

    Ya I'm thinking this is a bug of some type. Same thing happened to me... but with Cougars so it was 10X worse.

    Best (or worst) part is my horse died real quick, so I was trying to steal someone else to get the hell out, but the cougars killed every man, woman, and horse that came anywhere near.

    So much this. I'm not quite as far into the main missions as you, but I find myself absolutely awestruck when riding the trails. It can be a clear night (my absolute favorite time to ride), overcast and rainy, the middle of a thunderstorm, or a sunny day and I continuously marvel at the feeling of "whoa" that I get from the atmosphere in RDR. Pure distilled awesome. I love riding and enjoying the scenery and the seamless geographical changes so much that I haven't fast traveled once.

    Also regarding Flowers for a Lady:
    I know I should have seen that coming, since this is a Rockstar game, but I was seriously D: when he invited me in and she was a corpse.

    Oh yeah, I don't use the quick-travel at all. I always ride my horse. It's beautiful and you find cool things to do on the way!

    For me, the biggest success of the game isn't the story, or any of the side quests (which are awesome). It's that certain areas of the game look and feel exactly like places I've been before (urls due to size):

    Great Plains looks a lot like Madison Valley, and assorted areas of Yellowstone:

    Two Trees looks a lot like the Gallatin Gateway and other high elevation areas:

    And Armadillo looks a lot like Nevada City:

    Eastern Mexico, with the red rock formations looks like a mix of Arizona and Wyoming (unfortunately, no pic uploaded on my PC).

    It's just so cool to turn a corner in the game and think "I've fucking been there!" even though the locales are fictional.

    Are there geysers or hot springs in the game at all?

    I'm using the cougar hunting mission as an excuse to repeatedly commit genocide against boars. I'm just running around killing boars in that area they share, hoping to see a cougar. I've got 20+ boar tusks right now.

    One thing that has really surprised me so far is how much I still enjoy traveling between locations. Something about actively riding my horse across the beautiful frontier is just endlessly appealing.

    Riding around in South Cholla Springs last night I think I stumbled onto a whole army of wolves. I was hunting around for a few wolves to complete one of the Hunter Challenges. Well I got way more than I bargained for, as I spent the next 10 minutes alternating between fighting off the seemingly endless waves of wolf packs (5-6 at a time) and trying to skin them in the very short interval between attacks. When the dust had cleared and I finally scared away the last few attackers, I counted 30 wolf pelts, 30 slabs of wolf meat, and 11 wolf hearts. At least I got around $1000 for my troubles 8-)

    Ya I'm thinking this is a bug of some type. Same thing happened to me... but with Cougars so it was 10X worse.

    Best (or worst) part is my horse died real quick, so I was trying to steal someone else to get the hell out, but the cougars killed every man, woman, and horse that came anywhere near.

    Sounds like a horror movie.

    "Oh thank god, there's a person with a horse! Oh thank the..."
    *distant RAWR* *maul* "AAAAAAH!"
    "... shit man, now they're just playing with me."

    I got to admit, this game definitely lives up to fullfilling my rampage tendancies better than any GTA ever did. Perhaps it's the fact that every hit looks so brutal, you can see the damage on them. Or how you can cripple someone and watch them try to crawl away. Or maybe even the sight of someone sent flying 15 feet when I headshot their horse while they ride at full speed.

    It's fun being an asshole in this game.

    Once you get the Duster outfit there really is absolutely no reason to go back to the default clothes ever again ever

    I actually like the default outfit the most right now. The duster outfit seems like it'd be good for being a sheriff and sitting around and whatnot. The default outfit looks like it'd be used by a guy going out and getting shit done.

    I fully expect to wear a poncho, though, once I go to Mexico.

    Tell me more about this duster outfit...

    You get it by having high honor, that's how I unlocked it.

    The poncho you get by...
    buying a room in the town where Landon Ricketts lives

    Some masked man keeps Lassoing and Hogtying all the citizens of Armidillo. It's terrible!

    And a lot of fun, for some reason.
