This took me awhile too. It doesn't say enemy and strangers don't always attack if you miss! I literally just walked up to a fisherman from across any river on a ridge, three it far to get my aim then thunked him! I kept trying to retreat but I found fisherman to be better.
It does say enemy, at least everything i can find. I restarted my game last night and haven't gotten to this one yet so unless it's been changed, it's an enemy.

Find treasure maps, find the treasure, sell the treasure.
Carry on looting (a lot of those loot boxes you looted before the epilogue get refilled).
But mainly the treasure maps, and it's probably better to leave many of those for the epilogue and after if you really want that money.
I completed the game and have about $25K or something.
You don't really need a lot of money though.
unless you're playing for the red honor, those bounties get spendy

The poker challenge was easier in valentine. They’re weak players and will fold if you go all-in three times in a row
Cool. Good to know.
Also you can't get the white Arabian until after the stable is unlocked. Spent the last hour reloading saves at the lake to get it to spawn and no dice.

Had my son turn on my system and check my restore, it took me back to the middle of chapter 4 (Riverboat mission) - . If it's taking me that far back, i'm just going to restart the game and play through again doing the white hat honor this time and get 100% complete. Then i can have the fun of killing everyone again in Van Horn repeatedly for the Gambler challenges

So you use the controller to connect to wifi and play your games on the cloud, and watch the game your playing on... what a computer? internet connected tv? Chromecast on the TV? that will lower some of the gaming bandwidth we're using now but not much, if you consider it like a netflix or hulu stream to view your game.
Interesting, i'd check it out if the price is reasonable.

I think that most doctors haven't a clue what vaping is about or are afraid that it's their ass if they even mention non-AMA approved. Some doctors are just lazy a-holes that don't want deal with anything that isn't their specialty.
From my experience you've hit it right there. Some institutions will not allow the MD's or PA's working there to offer alternative medicines, they have to toe the line so the institution get's the bucks and bonuses from the pharmaceutical companies they use. I've been to some private practices where they've offered alternative medicines over prescriptions. That's how i found out olive oil is a great topical anti-inflammatory.

Let me see if I can plot the route I took for horseman 9, hopefully that might help you a bit as I recall you had problems with that. I made it on my third attempt after dying on the railway bridge twice.
However, it really pays to do that as John. I’m guessing you know that though.
Just buy/discard the premium cigarettes- it’s the quickest way of getting a full set.
yeah i won't even try it as Arthur, i never get far across the border before getting shot to death.
I've tried a couple routes. First few attempts were going from Van horn down to the Lemoyne border, there's a road crossing right before the border, then follow the road west to take the bridge across the Kamassa, then overland west south west to hit the tracks at the western lemoyne border, riding the tracks to Riggs Station, from there up through Strawberry to cut down across Owanjila Dam and over to Blackwater.
2nd route was going west from van horn to the tracks, take them north a bit to cross the river on the tracks, then go west toward emerald station (overland) and then from there to flatneck station (overland) take the tracks to RIggs, then the same path across the dam and to blackwater.

It's been eating at me that i haven't gotten 100% completion yet. Only a handful of things are left to complete for my 100% according to the social club. i'm at 93.5% and 8 days, 10 hours, and 2 minutes played now.
- Horseman Challenge 9
- Horseman Challenge 10
- Set of cards
- 9 Graves
- Dino bones
- Legendary Fish (have to restore back to get this one)
- final hunting request
- Dreamcatchers
Think that's it, have to check in game to make sure. I was looking last night and it looks like in a huge act of stupidity i reused the same save point from like chapter 4 sometime on. so i may have to restore quite a ways back to get 100% just cause that friggin legendary fish glitched. that means another day or 2 of play time added to my 8 days.
Good thing i really like this game!

I don't know whether it's the same for anyone else, but the breed/stats didn't really matter to me during my gaming - I could easily do whatever I wanted (including races and timed runs) with my war horse.
Stat's didn't make any difference for me. I found a wild race horse at the start of chapter 2 and then shortly after tamed the wild arabian, used that one the whole game. even had to restore back a chapter once to get it back when it died

These flashbacks happen at camp sites, but I'm unsure how they're triggered. I was up the snow on a skin hunt in the epilogue and decided to hunker down in Colter for the night, and upon entering the town, I heard the exchange that John and Abigail have after Arthur and Javier rescue him and bring him back. I've also been to other camp sites and heard nothing.
Good to know, so i must not have done whatever triggers this.

These guards will probably be moving when they're activated in this way, so they might be moving closer toward you.
Try it with an enemy who's static and ideally hasn't spotted you. I managed this on my first attempt, at an gang camp.
the water tower guy you mentioned would probably work well for this also. he won't get off the tower from my experience.
Usually the gate guards at the refinery will stand there and shoot at you, problem i ran into there occasionally was other guards coming in and shooting also. Run away, let them reset and try it again.

I missed Arthur also, that is one of the big reasons i really struggled and had to force myself to play through the epilogue.
3 hours ago, Foxtrot said:Yeah, Arthur's last journal entries made for emotional reading.
John's journal is ending up with endless childish drawings of animals as I trawl through the zoologist trophy.
Yep i quit looking at the journal after the first few entries from John,

My mom loves RDR but has run into trouble in keeping count of headshots. I think she is trying to complete an achievement. I haven't played RDR 1 or 2. I searched the internet but couldn't find anything about a headshot indicator or counter in either game. I was hoping maybe someone on here could be of better assistance. Here is the original text she sent me:
"Hey if you get a chance can you help me out with some research on Red Dead Redemption 2? I'm trying to find out if there's a way that I can keep count of headshots.. the old Redemption used to show me on the screen to help keep count.. maybe I need to buy something from the PlayStation Store upgrade..??"
If anyone can help my mom out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Sounds like she's on Sharpshooter 7 challenge - Get 7 headshots in a row. If i recall correctly you can tap left on the D-pad and then hit R1/RB to look at your active challenges. It should show your consecutive headshot count there.
Headshots are fairly easy to get. You can ride around like i did and shoot the lone people riding horses. Aim at them, tap up on the stick and shoot.
Another easy spot i found after doing the riding around when i had to redo this from using a previous save is the shack on the east side of the oil refinery. You can use dead eye on the 3 people outside of the shack (it's on stilts, has a generator looking machine inside it) then use the doorway for cover and headshot the guards and lawmen as they rush over to kill you. And if you miss and screw up the headshot count there's plenty of guys there to restart it.

I am stuck at this challenge for long time now, SHARPSHOOTER 4 80 FEET TOMHAWK KILL, I tried everything but still nothing it now says 70 feet of 80 feet left, I don't know how to measure 10 feet distance now, please help anyone who is facing similar situation, I have completed everything just this Sharpshooter challenge is left, I am physically disabled, suffering from a brain disorder, any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance folks,
you have to throw it 80 feet in one shot if i recall.
What i did both times is go up to one of the guards at the oil refinery, one with a rifle at the gate by the building in the north. Use a crafted tomahawk, enhanced or honed i think they're called, they fly farther. Aim at the guard walk backwards until the red target dot turns white, then step forward to make it red again. Then activate dead eye, (make sure your dead eye meter is full, you don't want to use a tonic to turn the ring yellow, you want it to count down as you walk) mark the guard's head (this has to be a killing throw) and walk backwards until dead eye runs out and it throws the tomahawk automagically.
Most times the guard will turn hostile and shoot at you, but you should still be able to do it.

Has anybody gone back to the old camp sites as John? One night decided to go back to that camp next the burned downed forest. The campsite where you learn all the things and its close to Valentine. It was during the day noonish in-game.
As soon as John walks through the old camp site. Was hearing auditory illusions what sounded alot like the party when Sean was rescued. Hearing the gang laughing and a little bit of dutch's music player playing as well in the background. Instantly felt remorse as if that gang was a second family. While it looking empty and having remnants of settlement.
Either it was me hearing that myself. Or they did some strong emotional detail within the game. It was sorta a mind-fluck for me. Really breaks the forth-wall. Wondering if anyone has come across that or if it was real from me or simulated from the game itself.
never noticed it, and i play the game with headphones on 99% of the time, just to hear those soft noises i can't hear from the TV. could have missed it though, but i did like going back to look at the camps and see if anything was left behind, broken wagon wheel, busted crates, not much else.

Well, I don't imagine this requires its own thread because it's probably not a topic important to most people, but did Rockstar do their research on these horse breeds? Obviously, they studied them enough to know what they look like, but then you go into the stats and it seems like all they did was look at pictures. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the game so far, but I am a gamer and gamers complain.
I can't see any gameplay balance reasons for getting almost every horse's characteristics and history wrong. For instance, the Tennessee Walker you start with is not a working horse or a fast horse or a particularly strong one. It's a gaited breed made for casual riding and pulling light carriages, prized for its elegant step, not work or range utility. Imagine my surprise when I bought a Morgan, the standard breed of the US Cavalry, and found it to have low health and stamina, lower than a Walker.
That's ridiculous, Morgans are legendary for their stamina and resilience. I have personally seen one pull a bull to its knees by the horns, and I owned one. Best damn horse I ever had. Every pasture I put him in, he was the dominant horse, which is saying something because Morgans are so small, rarely topping 14 1/2 hands. Yet he could out-pull anything short of a draft horse, outlast any trail horse, and even out-sprint some quarterhorses. That breed is built for the sprint, their name comes from being fast in the quarter-mile, they're like horse drag racers, with enormous rocket-engine butts, and a Morgan can beat some of them. They're light enough that they can accelerate quickly, even hauling my 6'2" carcass around. I's a consequence of the inverse square law. Increasing the size of something has a direct squared relationship to how much energy it takes to move.
Yet somehow, quarterhorses have more stamina in the game They absolutely do not. Riding a quarterhorse is like riding a lawnmower most of the time. They can sprint, sure, and they can canter for a couple of miles at best, but the rest of the time, you have to let that horse eat. They eat while they're walking, and they get hot fast. It's the cost of all that junk in the trunk. Cowboys used them a lot to sprint after cattle, which are comparatively slow, and they are ideal for that application. You don't want any cattle breaking away and dividing the herd, while the rest of the time, you can walk as slowly as they do. Cows graze on the move, too.
I know it's just a game and you can't expect everything to be perfect. IRL, horses will not run off a cliff, or into any unbroken barrier, that's allowed so the player has to actually play the game, rather than falling asleep in the saddle, which you can do. Well-trained horses have an innate cruise control. That's what most people experience when they go on paid trail rides. The horse knows that if it follows a certain path, based on a certain set of stimuli, it gets food and rest. Couldn't care less what the rider is doing, which is why such attractions are safe for kids.
This thing about breeds just seems like something that could be easily addressed and changed with only a few hours' work. I don't know much about modern programming, but I know QBASIC and I know variables. I also know other horsemen who are generally satisfied with the way riding is treated in this game, I certainly am, especially that lovely gallop mechanic. Western riding is all about moving with the horse. It's not quite the same in the game but it's close. How do you do everything so right and then screw up the simple part, Rockstar?
Alright, that's the end of my little rant. I don't expect anyone to go back and do more work when it's clear that you already put a lot into this game. Maybe the modders will, if and when they are allowed. Maybe just consider this as advice for the next installment, which I am looking forward to seeing, even paying for.yep it's a game, they made all the horses similar so people could have their favorites and do pretty much the same as all the other horses. please the masses as much as you can.
Totally agree with you about the stats and riding, i've been riding horses off 'n on for over 30 years myself.
You dated yourself talking about qbasic lol I was writing with that, dos, and BasicA in middle school. First family computer was Dos based. didn't have hard drives back then everything ran off floppy disk. Get my homework done and "playing on the computer" back then was writing "code" to draw an 18 wheeler to drive across the screen, or the sun to rise from the bottom to the top or whatever.
Then a family down the street got a computer and a couple games, my first computer games (borrowed and copied from the neighbor) were spy vs spy ( @Foxtrot hopefully knows that one
) a car racing game, can't remember the name and i haven't yet been able to find it online. Was similar to Sega's Outrun, you got to pick your car (Lotus Esprit was my favorite) and drive up a mountain from one checkpoint to the next. You'd stop at each check point and i think you had the option to repair and then continue to the next. Kings Quest was the 3rd game i borrowed that day. then i got grounded for being up past midnight and waking dad up playing those games.

didn't notice a difference myself, on the xbox one s. Looked hte same as it did playing it before the patch.

Exiting the game seems like it did the job. I have Xbox
Thanks
great! you should always exit when done playing and fully shut off the console.
This is a microsoft machine remember, they haven't figured out how to keep a machine running for extended periods without file corruption like others have.

OJ Simpson case was for 134 days
yeah but that was including the recess times, and after that the victim's families sued OJ, that court hearing lasted half as long as the criminal trial fubar and found him guilty in both counts.
Correction on the OK Corral trial, it was the preliminary hearing that lasted 30 days straight, it never went to trial.

working on Ark Extinction tonight, not sure how i missed that whole DLC. I don't see forest in my gamefly options, so it must be online only, I'll have to check that tonight.
Ark has stayed the way i remember it, spawn in, run down the beach, get eaten by a raptor lol. Except for some reason now, in the easy starting point 1 my spawn in point is being hunted by a level 22 sarco. so not only did the raptor get me right off, when i spawned back in, he was off messing with some other dino, i grabbed my stuff turned around and chomp went the sarco. spawn in # 3 i swam across the inlet, watched for them to leave my stuff for a while, took like 20 minutes then the sarco got into it with the aggressive brontosaurus looking dino (about half the size though) so i could my stuff. Then i ran down the coast toward easy starting point 2 and one of them feathered dino's come rushing out of the trees and has me for dinner.
I gave up then lol. Wonder if i messed with my dino spawns last time i played? this was nuts. thinking i'll have to reset defaults before i play Extinction tonight.

I really don't think anybody in those times would have batted an eyelash if someone starts trying to murder you in the middle of the street and you defend yourself with lethal force.
Sure they would. You'd get arrested, taken to what passed as a court trial back then, and depending who had the judge in their pocket you'd win or lose. Wild west wasn't as unlawful as most people like to think.
The famous shootout at the OK Corral with the Cowboys and Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp, they were all arrested and taken to court. Court lasted over a month. Can you imagine going in every week day to hear witnesses from both sides for 30 days?
20 hours ago, night253 said:Mainly the complete absence of stand your ground.
I.E. Random guy talks crap to me on the street. I talk crap back. He pulls out a gun and starts shooting me. I pull out a gun and shoot him in the head. Now I'm wanted for defending myself (sheriffs saw the whole thing go down and still started shooting me).
Standing your ground doesn't just mean stooping to their level and talking back, and killing them. It's knowing when and where to stand and fight.
And just fyi, there was no stand your ground laws back then like we have now. There wasn't an actual written law in the US until about 2005. Most states up to that point used the English common law for self defense by reasonable force, so there were different interpretations of that over the years and for the various situations. The laws in 2005 didn't change that much either. The English law and the laws in the states used now say you're legal to stand your ground and use deadly force when warranted as long as you're not breaking the law during the act.
So you guys argue, he shoots you shoot, you live he dies, yep you should go to jail until you're cleared for self defense, if that's what it was. The people in the game aren't stupid, they did a great job with the AI in this game. Townsfolk and lawmen remember you, you have a run in before in town, maybe accidentally shot someone when trying to greet them, and then this happens (tossing examples out there). not broken that i see.
You can make them forget you by changing your full outfit, your saddle, and your horse before going back into that town. Or wait a few in-game days and they'll forget, 3 or 4 days i think it was.

sounds like the broken save file or cache issue from before. try reloading a prior save point, and if you'r on xbox exit the game (hit the xbox button hit start on the game icon, and quit/exit) then hold the power button in on the console till it shuts off, wait 30 seconds or so and turn it on. For PS4 restart the console, then start the game, and after the initial splash page hold in the R1/R2 and L1/L2 buttoms until you get the darkness and screen calibration option.

hmm good to know, i always went through strawberry, that must have slowed me down enough to fail every time i didn't have something else cause me to fail like the stupid cougar, or the laramie gang ambush, that one would make me stop and so they could do their dialogue even while i was mashing the button to run
