So I kill dutch, and exit the fort, ready to see Abigail. Some music starts to play, this time with lyrics! I lazily trot my horse down a hill, glad to have finished my contract, finally. Then low and behold a bear swipes it out from under me. Melancholy music stops.
My first cougar encounter happened tonight. I was in Armadillo, and a man comes barrelling through town, screamin' bloody murder.
And then I saw the two cougars on his tail. It was like two brown demons wanted to drag him to hell.
I bust out my repeater rifle, to get to God's work. I pop one cougar in its evil face without deadeye - a lucky shot. However, in the meantime, the man - and the other cougar - have blown past me down the tracks.
I give chase to the best of my ability, and I think the man might have known I was there to help, cuz he looped around. The cougar was there, and I was ready. I activated deadeye, took aim, and fired. But I didn't expect what happened next.
The man leapt in the way of one of my bullets, blowing his head clean off. The rest of the bullets took the cougar down, but the man was dead.
The law is unforgiving in the West, and I was saddled with a 40 dollar bounty. Suddenly, I'm surrounded by lawmen and would-be heroes, my horse clear across town. I try to run, try to find a place to hide before I ultimately get shot to death from all sides.
I...I think the man was afraid he'd become a werecougar. He was saving us all.
Oh god, this was really awesome. I commend you and your storytelling ways sir.
I must be retarded, but I cannot figure out how on earth you are supposed to win the mission "Pestilence". I just cannot do it, there is just absolutely no way:
I can shoot that many fucking crows before they eat all the corn. I fail it every time
Cheese it by changing it to casual targeting? I did it pretty easily and I had it on casual.
I did it on expert using the 22 shot repeater with dead eye and the Semi-auto shotgun. Aim for where they cross paths when your using the shotgun to get multiples at once.

Must resist urge to buy this game...
..will probably end up buying it this week when I have time. Ugh.
Ok, so I'm off in southern Mexico hunting wolves and I see a woman crying over a mans dead body. I think, cool Rockstar has an amazing attention to detail.
She then proceeds to take out a gun and blows her brains out.

They fly into the silo one at a time at the exact same angle. Just watch that spot. You will have plenty of time to kill it before it gets inside without using deadeye or easy targeting. You only need to kill 7 or so before you pass and the rest of them fly away.
I've seen them plan ambushes! I'm pretty damn sure that skinning a bear aggroes every bear in a 100 yards!
I've killed a bear only to turn around and see two of the sumbitches charging me side by side. I've seriously had my horse killed in a bear charge and to get up and be completely alone- ALONE!!
I've fought cougars, I've fought huge packs of wolves, I've even been assaulted by boars, and they all can put up a helluva fight and knock a man on his ass but good god...none of them scare me more than fucking bears, mighty brown dragons of the woods.

I can't find skunks anywhere! Someone please tell me where skunks roam so I can finish this damn challenge.
And what is a Bandito Bounty? The Bandito outfit requires that I take one alive but I'm a bit lost. I simply assumed it meant "take a bounty in Mexico alive" but I've done that many times to no avail
Some play some Free Roam with me. I wanna see what this multi is all about.

After finishing Twin Rocks, I saunter over to pick the feathers off of a vulture I killed, when suddenly I'm fucking laid out by a charging bull. What the fuck? Stupid bull.

Man, I usually don't have too much problem with bears, but tonight, the Terminator Bears were out in full force. I was hunting for beavers in northern Tall Trees (for a Stranger Quest), and I swear every single time I found a beaver, there were like 2-3 bears nearby. It was like each beaver had its own private bear security force - I had to kill like 3 bears for each beaver I found. One time I found two beavers, dead-eyed them both, and then checked around to make sure no bears were around before I got off my horse. With no big brown death machines in sight, I trot over to the first beaver and WHAM! Ninja Bear takes my horse down from out of nowhere, then double swipes me for the insta-kill. Took me another 5 minutes just to find another beaver after that. :x
I swear I must have killed close to 15 bears just to safely skin 5 beavers. Stop the Brown Menace!

Check the wanted poster to see what gang the target is affiliated with. It will be Walton's, Dutch's, Treasure Hunter, etc. If it says "Criminal", they are unaffiliated.
Also, if you want skunks, head out to Diez Coronas, in the horse fields. There are horses drawn on the map when you're half zoomed. Between 6pm and 9pm it's a fucking shooting gallery. There are also quite a few right before dawn.

Easiest place for skunks that I have seen, nighttime near the stagecoach at Armadillo. They spawn there pretty frequently.

Holy shit... I had wondered who the hell he was at the first meeting. At the second meeting, I thought maybe he was literally a ghost from Marston's past...
The third meeting... was unbelievably creepy. I saved in the plains and rode out to meet him, just in time for the skies to darken and rain to come pouring in, is that... programmed? "I'm an accountant"; Right then I understood what he was and what Marston did next just drove the idea home.
The undertaker outfit, the talk, everything... He's Death. :shock: The grim-reaper...
End Game Speculation:
Marston... is going to die... isn't he?

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Jesus, I've nearly played this for 48 hours. I wonder if I will beat my GTA4 save, which was 60 hours.
When the camera zoomed out of Abagail's grave and onto Jacks face, I was completely blown away. And my first thought was time to kill that bastard in blackwater.
First thing I did when I found a bar. The girlfriend got a kick out of it. I eventually passed out in the street, and as I was waiting for Marston to wake up, a second drunk decided it would be fun to see if he could get further than me. Thus begun the drunk race. We didn't get far.

Bears: The ultimate mood killer

WTF
Wow.
That is the best ending I can recall. To, like, anything ever.
360 has a slight edge from a technical standpoint has been the consensus as far as I'm aware.
Excellent game and definitely my favorite game that Rockstar has produced.

The Raid
I saved someone from being hanged and also a prospector.
I also bagged a cougar just a while ago. Luckily it had a bad turning circle and was close to my horse.
Oh yeah I like the bug that makes the cowboys look like they are scooting around on heelys

I also saved someone from being hanged. I was helped by a bear.
The fella that came to fetch me rounded a corner and once I cleared it, he and a grizzly were charging after the lynch mob.
The Raid
I then pulled my gun to his face and shot him.
Yes, I'm shooting myself up a storm right now.
Every animal and person must be wiped out.
Such is the way of the end game.
That's the spirit. Someone gives you some shit, you give them six to the face of an all your can eat lead diet.

Turns out I was on to something. :P
Fightin' around the world!
There's a trophy/achievement called Fightin' around the World for KO'ing someone in every saloon. The world owes Russel Crowe so much.
Only I hope to do it drunk.
I hear you died from extreme lead poisoning.
To the face.
So I shoved him into a mule.
