Funny Stories (Non-Story Spoilers Okay)

[Melting Snowflakes]

So my funny story is that I killed a Legendary creature, but had no idea what it was good for.  Fearing I would lose it, I found out that someone could use it to make me something, and I was like okay, I'll go there.  But I was broke, so I knew I'd need money for it, so I went on and got a boat, did this huge fishing trip where I got like tons of money worth of fish, then went to sell them for cash.  Finally, I had everything I needed.  So I leave there, go halfway around the world to get to where I needed to go .. jump a fence, and KILL SOMEONE with my horse that I didn't even see when I'm running through a corn field - note to sell, don't do that again lol.  So, now there's a witness, and I'm like .. ffs ... now I have to do something about that or I'll never get my pelt to where I want to take it because they'll be out hunting for me.  So I am like .. I'm not losing this freaking thing after all the work I went to to get it, so that witness is toast .. but ... I'm too close to a place where I can't use weapons, and I can't intimidate him there, so now what ?  I chase him!  All the way to the Sherriff's office!  And then by some MIRACLE I still don't understand, as we both go into the sherriff's office, the witness LEAVES, and then I just say hello the sheriff, and then ... okay, nothing happens.  So I'm like .. okay, and I leave again, then I continue my trip on horse and I'm like dammit nothing is going to stop me getting this thing there, ... and then all of a sudden once I'm approaching a major population center BAM!  I'm wanted!  And like everybody in the whole freaking map starts chasing me for this murder, and everywhere I go there are people looking for me, but dammit I'm not stopping, I'm going to get this thing to where it's going.  So finally, after dodging all these people, I get there ... and &^%$ I don't have enough money!  So now I'm like dammit I have to get more money, and I leave, then an opportunity comes and I take it and earn enough for what I want ... go back ... and it turns out that what I could use the pelt for was something I didn't even want!  So I'm like well now what ?

So how does it end ?  I sold the pelt, and it wasn't even worth enough to pay the bounty.

My funny story is there's a regular "Stranger" NPC that often appears in the Saloon in Valentine (with the barber) who looks like a typical mountain man/trapper. He's a big boy too. He's always drunk and starts in on me and then starts a fight. First time, he kicked my ass, my screen flashes DEAD. I respawn outside down the street. 

 

Then another time I played, I see him in the bar again, this time he's standing at the bar. Same thing, he starts a fight and beats my ass to death. By this point, I'm thinking there's a reason this is happening, and I start thinking that if I beat him, something cool will happen... 

Another time I go there and there he is again! Same attitude, but this time I avoid him long enough to have a few meals of lamb at the bar in an effort to gain weight. After like 4 meals, I make my way over to his table by the barber chair. A fight ensues. He's rocking Arthur, suddenly Arthur unholsters my Volcanic Pistol and starts pistol-whipping this big brute into the shadow realm. I FINALLY BEAT HIM!... But nothing happens, except I get a wanted level. I leave the area for a minute or two. 

 

Then another time, I see him again! I March up to his table, thinking I had to have earned his respect, I greet him and the bastard wants to go for round 4! I promptly left before fists and pistol grips flew lol! Nothing cool happened, turns out he's just an ass hole Hahaha!

Jon
Jon is a Frontiersman at the Smithfields Saloon in Valentine. The encounter unlocks once you get to chapter 2 between 12 pm and 6 am. He will be ranting in the saloon.

If you listen to him and stay close he will attack you eventually. If you knock him out, you will get to pick up his Classic Raccoon Mountain hat.

 

I'm totally going to knock his big ass out again! After I fill up on some lamb first! LOL
