I would think this would fall on MS, have you talked to them yet?

you mean like running into a map glitch at the edge of a cliff and hoping you'll learn to fly before you hit the canyon floor? lol I wish i would have known how to record game clips when i did that. Sadly my son just showed me how to record them last week

way to tear a guy apart for coming looking for help and ideas.

Yep, it's a melee weapon. Press B (or the PS equivalent) to use the knife.

They look like hay cubes for the horse. I found a box at a camp that had these cubes in it and that's what they were. Really tough to pick up, you have to move to the perfect spot to get them. took me like 5 or 6 tries inching over this way then that before the X popped up in the corner so i could pick them up.

I do the gambling and others when i get tired of hunting or looking for treasure or the many other world things there are. Herbalist is the one i have yet to do anything with, i think i'm Herbalist 2 still lol.

no way! is that how i lost half my money? lol i never even realized.

No suprise there, it's that way whenever a new game comes out. It's why i never look at youtube for game tips or hints until i'm on my 2nd play through finding out what i've missed. Forums like this or the online guides/tips pages are what i look at the first time playing through.

wear your bandanna or mask when you bump the pansies on the street Did you start the conflict that had the guy shooting at you? like antagonize him or something? You shouldn't get a bounty if they start it and you shoot back. I've done that many times trying rob stage coaches. Hit the button to rob them, holster all weapons when someone passes by and they start shooting, then you can kill them and won't get reported. However if you loot the body, they'll report you then.

no clue on that one. i know you can't name your horse Dumb sh*t, i tried that with my original one lol. Austin Powers triggering profanity huh? that doesn't make any sense to me.

Yep that's how i saw to plant the sticks of dyno to blow the safe.

Looks like this depends on the area you're in? I thought it was on the chapter you're on. I haven't done much in Saint Denis, but in New Haven you max at $500. Have to see what i can get in Strawberry, see if there's a good spot in town I can hole up in and go on a killing spree After i finish hunting anyway, i hate having a high bounty and trying to hunt lol

congrats! I'm almost there, so close lol i need a perfect elk skin and i'll have 3 of the 6 satchels done. Should have that tonight. I would have had it last night but i kept letting things distract me and didn't hunt as much as i had planned to. Tonight it's all about hunting.

Same as @Truth The only carcasses i keep are for the few upgrades at camp. However, if i go to turn in stuff to Pearson and he says food is running low then i will go out and bag 3 or 4 animals and bring back the whole thing unskinned since you can't just gut the animal and bring it back like you really would if you're just going for the meat. Pearson can deal with the guts since he's whining about food and too lazy to help hunt. Plus you can carry numerous hides, except for the larger animals, and only 1 carcass at a time.

Growing up around horses we've always named them on their color or personality. one of my favorite horses was a big brown super gentle horse. He was named Brownie. Another one was Badger, he'd turn on you in an instant for no reason, kinda like when a badger leaves it's den then walks away a few steps and then charges you. My cousin had an Appaloosa named Spot. I thought that was pretty obvious and lame, he also had a dog named Spot, he wasn't the imaginative type. Uncle had a horse named Red, matched his temper and demeanor, he was great at cutting cattle though. Friend in high school way back when had one called Bolt, originally because he was super fast as a colt, but the name stuck as when you tried to ride him he would bolt. if you weren't ready for that you were spitting dirt lol. I name my horses that way in the game, well mostly. My lost Arabian I called Snow, cause yeah he was white The DLC horse i also lost to the horse glitch was called Shadow, The jet black Standardbred I'm riding now is Death. After losing the legendary Arabian and going on the killing spree in Valentine i went hunting up north of Strawberry to cool off and get the perfect elk skin. I caught him up there and the name seemed fitting since i was killing everyone at the time lol. Also picked up a grey/black something or other sometime along the way, big work horse looking thing, i haven't ridden it enough to remember what it is. She's called Darkness as her legs are grey and body/back goes to black. kinda like the dark coming in.

awesome post. Now you can see why i was so furious when the horse glitch took that horse from me I spent my 4 hours of play time last night hunting for perfect skins for the satchels and camp upgrades. I loved every minute of it. even the 30 minutes when i went to Valentine for ammo and decided to try the Sharpshooter challenge i've been working on. I failed miserably but it was still fun. That's probably one of my favorite things about this game. I fail a few times at what i'm doing but i've never gotten frustrated enough to turn it off or throw things. Even failing is fun lol

use the specified lures, like the lake lure or river lure for that area, you're guaranteed large fish then. you can use the special lures also, if it's not a spot where a legend is at the large fish will still take it. Depends what kind of fish you want ot catch. the game is very similar to RL. lake fish are in lakes, river fish in rivers.

That's where i caught him.

i just installed that like 10 minutes ago myself. You can view the manual, achievements, progress, strat guide, etc. but for the good stuff like the live map you have to sync it with your game.

just found this

i thought that was fairly easy. I got kicked on my arse once, had to chase him down 3 or 4 times but that was it. Took maybe 15 minutes. I'm still fuming that i lost him when i died in Valentine. I jumped off him in the auction area, maybe that was my mistake, he got auctioned i bet. lol

Ditto that. But it was that way with RDR also for me. And i'm a huge fan of the hunting games anyway. Before this I spent a good portion of my week playing TheHunter: Call of the Wild. I was really happy the hunting in RDR2 is almost as realistic, and at some things more realistic, than the hunting game.

i just started chapter 3, have yet to do any story missions in it though. FIgured it was a good time to get all the benefits from the challenges and whatnot before i continued on to make the rest of the story easier And tonight i have nothing going on for once after work so i'll be playing from when i get home until i look at the clock and go "Oh @#$*!! I gotta get to bed!" lol

True, but this play through i'm going for the villian So i shoot first and let whoever sort it out after. i'll run through it again after and do the Hero.

you want all the satchels, each one expands space for it's specified items. Then you want to get the Legend of the East satchel which gives you max storage. By default you can hold 5 items max. 5 venison, 5 game meat, etc. Tonics satchel increases the amount of Tonics you can carry, ingredients increases those items (cooking ingredients), Kit satchel not sure what it has, i know the campfire is in it to make your camp. Provisions are your cooked or canned foods materials are your crafting materials, feathers, etc. Valuables is your loot satchel, rings, belt buckles, and other stuff you loot off bodies. And i just got the popup @Truth has beat me to this Funny i was actually going to start working on the Legend Satchel myself tonight.
