You know, they could take out all the outlaw aspects of this game, add more to the chores and suppliy runs like somebody said, so it wasn't a menu, but something you had to do, and for me, give me the option to just be a lone mountain man, exploring and trapping, or hunting, and rarely interacting with people.
God, I would love that.
You lost the game!

it was mentioned in the last thread that in the epilogue,
i didn't see it that way. the game actually made me understand that the right narrative context can make almost any interactivity engaging and rewarding. no headshot felt as satisfying to me as filling that shit bucket up, catching a good trout or sipping coffee between pleasant conversation at camp. i hated having to strap up again. it felt like failure, or betrayal....
i'm not sure rockstar fully realised this themselves, and leaned into the gunplay too hard at times, and in ways that strained reason. or maybe there's just a lot of variance in how different gameplay elements engage different players - that seems to be true in this thread anyway.
I was stalking a 3 star elk when I saw the red pop up at the edge of my compass. I had to ditch the elk and run like fuck because i was in an exposed meadow and a stand up fight would have been suicide.
If you haven't been in town in awhile, or your appearance has dramatically changed, the lawmen might not even recognize you. I got in a fistfight in Valentine while I had a $300 bounty after being away for a time, and they treated me like a random drifter and told me to get outta town.
Alternatively, if they do recognize you it's pretty hilarious. I started some minor trouble with the intention of surrendering to clear my ridiculous bounty. The sherriff strolls up and goes 'all right fellas, what seems to be the trou-HOLY SHIT, ITS HIM! GET YOUR GODDAMNED HANDS UP' and I suddenly had a billion guns aimed at me.
If you turn yourself in with a super high bounty, the arrest is not kind.
Sometimes you do your time, sometimes the gang busts you out. Once, Dutch strolled in and talked me out of jail.
Outlawing is actually really entertaining. I did very little of it on my first go.
Are there optional missions out there that I missed?
Is it just setup for RDR1 remake as DLC?

I did a good amount of random robbing in my first playthrough and the way they handle bounty hunting in this is great. I'll always remember the time that I completely out foxed them and basically waved to them from the railway bridge over the valley they were in.
Right now I'm hunting, trying to upgrade everything that can be. And it kinda irks me when I'm out looking for animals, and O'Driscolls show up, or Lemoyne Raiders. I can't tell you how many pelts I've lost because I died
Walk near them, dead eye and shoot them in the head with a rifle when they run at you.
They're actually really easy, unlike herbivores they don't hide their heads behind their bodies because they don't run away.
Visiting her during the game and then visiting her in the end game is very satisfying.
In other news, it has rained 4 days straight in game. It's starting to feel a bit oppressive.
Definitely have them at gunpoint first
That's good to know.

If you do plan on shooting someone during a confrontation though, the quickdraw mechanic works outside of duels. Hold down RT slightly with your revolver holstered to enter quickdraw. Make sure to spin your gun afterwards.
Dead eye, headshots with a rifle.
I almost never seek out wolves, they just show up when I’m on the trail at night or way out in the wilderness. I hear that howl and I get my rifle ready for killin’.

I run away when I can, wolves are too good to kill if you don't have to.
There are a few quests where you have to kill some, and they are always 3 stars.
Now I'm worried that's foreshadowing.
Yes, different breeds do have different personalities, and so the better horse isn't always the higher-statted horse.
I had an arabian for quite a while, and while he can get you across the map in a flash, he was also real flighty and if I got attacked by animals it was really hard to control him
Now I'm on a big ol' roided out lookin' warhorse, and the lower speed and acceleration is more than balanced out by his give no fucks attitude
I got attacked by a real big pack of wolves, and if I had been on my arabian I probably would've been fucked
But warhorse was like, lol, bowling pins, and just ran the fuck over the wolves. I shot 3 and he trampled like 2.
I went from Strawberry to St Denis in under 8 minutes and it didn’t pop, and I didn’t cross any streams. I went into a dry creek bed once when I fell off the train tracks, though.

Hmmm, I might have to get the warhorse again.
But I think this is my favorite game.
So far, as of chapter 4:
Anyway, I wondered for a long time while I was playing it if it would usurp the first game's spot on my "favorite games of all time" list and I think it's actually just going to join it. Together they might be the most emotionally affecting video games I've ever played.
When you skin it you automatically take everything unique you need for crafting purposes.
Only thing is if you want the carcass to sell in town or give to Pearson at camp

I've fully bonded with an Arabian and a Turkoman, and I prefer the Turkoman if I'm being honest. Need to get the Tiger Stripe Mustang next for a real comparison.
