That's no where near as bad as what happened to me recently. My character was really underweight so I killed a deer and used the town's campfire to cook up some food. I finished cooking and I went to leave. That's when this guy just starts punching me saying I was trespassing (even though I was just there to cook). I already had ideas of how unrealistic the lawmen work, They attack you when you shoot someone even though they shot you first, and they pin me for murder even though I killed a camp of O-Drisco's, that ambushed me.
But I wanted to know what would happen if a lawman sees this guy attacking me. So I just dodge and block his attacks and led him to the sheriff's department. There was a lawman looking out the window so I get in full view of him and let the attacker land some hits on me. The lawman does nothing but watch. Then I led the attacker inside, same thing he does nothing but watch. So I decided, what would happen if I manage to get the attacker to unintentionally punch the lawman? So with some manipulation I got the attacker to accidentally hit the lawman, that's when the lawman reacted... not to the attacker, he got away cleanly. No, I got in trouble. The lawmen put a $5 bounty on me for someone else's assault. What the hell Rockstar? I thought this was supposed to be realistic. But you somehow screwed up the cops. I really hope Rockstar fixes this. It completely takes us out of the immersion when we get bounties for a stupid reason.
Oh yeah and infinitely respawning lawmen. Get rid of that too please, Rockstar. That is why I liked the first game, the lawmen were a lot more realistic when it came to spawning.
