you can complete with an alternate ending

serene sand
#

usually the game is more fun on your 2nd 3rd playthrough

#

personally im on my fourth

hidden moss
#

yes it does

#

i also find second playthroughs well maybe not more enjoyable but not but not any less fun either

#

i didnt really care for explorations during my first few playthroughs and just rushed the story basically

#

and now im on my fourth and ive really just roamed around the world tried to discover as much as possible

cobalt ferry
#

You understand stuff better on the second play through

#

And I believe it’ll make me more connected to the characters which will make the game more touching

#

I’ll start it again I guess cause I have an Xbox and i can’t buy good games

#

Like the last of us, uncharted, god of war

gray geode
#

any one got some money for me?? Cause me and my Buddy Micah wants to got to Tahiti

gray geode
#

Have some faith on me, Arthur!

mint sable
#

jack said he wanna become a gunslinger when he grow up

#

abigail immediately responded with: "Over my dead body..."

#

then jack buried abigail

#

and he turned himself into a gunslinger to avenge his parents death

Dutch's last plan doesn't suit me

bitter echo
#

Arthur, just shoot Dutch and Micah dead and do everyone a favor.

turbid ore
#

Yeah

remote willow
#

Alright, ill shoot micah

bitter echo

Don't worry about your honor, you'll gain it back after helping a few women out from under their horses.

Defeat your own death

Eheh don't shoot me

#

I still have a plan

turbid ore
#

Yeah you always have one

#

No mercy

bitter echo
#

Well, fudge. If you're not going to shoot Dutch, I will. He's the single most annoying human on the planet. And I have plenty of Snake Oil, so no chance of running out of deadeye.

But I still have a plan

Yeah you better not get up again

Thank goodness, no more long-winder completely pointless speeches.

turbid ore
#

No plans

gray geode
#

Now I will rob the whole heaven with my buddy micah pepelaugh

Micah is as good as holes

You mean the other place. No heaven for you.

No hell for you either

At least lenny is alive because we never robbed that bank

I am gonna rob Zeus and Odin

How are you heaven

#

Ok

#

bitter echo
#

No one is on Dutch's side. No one can stand Dutch. The minute he opens his mouth to talk, nails grating on chalkboards sound more pleasant.

turbid ore
#

Lol

#

Well Arthur is gone

#

Duthtook Arthur with him

gray geode
#

I have kratos, eivor, alexios, kassandra, thor and lot more😂

bitter echo
#

I literally hated him in the story from the very first moment he opened his mouth. Oh my goodness. Just knowing the plot of RDR1 made me feel better, because I knew how it ended for him.

# turbid ore I played rdr after rdr2

Ahhh, I played it when it came out. Both of these games are without a doubt my favorite games of all time. And I've been gaming a long time. A really long time. 😛

turbid ore
bitter echo
# turbid ore I played rdr after rdr2

Man, playing the games in the order you did would completely change the context of how you understood the significance of the events as they unfolded!

gray geode

turbid ore

I wish

gray geode
#

Ac games are now not Assassin games anymore 😔

turbid ore
#

I learnt that after oddyssey

#

I loved black flag

bitter echo
turbid ore
#

The first games were awesome

gray geode
turbid ore
bitter echo
#

This whole "games as a service" model sucks so bad. It's killing game development.

turbid ore
#

Yeah

gray geode
#

tbh ac oddysey and valhalla are not that much bad!! But they dont match with the older games

turbid ore
#

Exactly

#

Ghost of tsushima is more assassins creed than valhalla and oddyssey

gray geode
#

odyysey and valhalla had a great story but they were kinda games like god of war

bitter echo
#

Now, they don't make good games, they make services designed to entice us to spend real life money on pointless cosmetics. And too many people are completely addicted to buying them, which makes them rich, so they keep on keeping on.

turbid ore

turbid ore
#

Pay to win in offline is just downright dumb

bitter echo
turbid ore
#

Yeah

#

Haven't completed though

bitter echo
#

Well, it's not pay to win usually, you're just buying cosmetics, which is even more stupid in single player than it is in multi.

Or where can you found the recipe

bitter echo
#

I'm on my 3rd playthrough of RDR2, and for the first time, I stopped right before the final mission of chapter 2, and I'm doing all of the stuff I can do before being forced to continue the story. And I'm doing chores around camp, and playing the games, which I usually don't do. And two things happened that I had not experienced before. (Neither of these things are story spoilers.) Dutch randomly said to me while I walked by, "You're going to betray me, too. You're the type." My jaw dropped. And then in one of those random sit down and talk moments, Arthur confessed that he'd been killing animals for no reason, and killing innocent people because he's so angry at how the world is changing. I don't care what faults this game has, it has such amazing writing and character development, and I doubt I'll ever play something quite like it ever again.

You can get it from the trapper

#

Red Dead 2 is honestly the strangest game

#

Any other game and I would have considered it awful

remote willow
#

Whatchu mean boah

serene cove
#

The gameplay is honestly repetitive and boring

remote willow
serene cove
#

Go here, shoot a horde of enemies

#

Repeat

remote willow
#

If you don't like the game

serene cove
#

But the story is so compelling and interesting that it makes up for the gameplay tenfold

remote willow
#

Why don't you go on and get

serene cove
#

Oh no I'm not saying I don't like the game, far from it

remote willow
#

Well

#

Then you're ok boah

serene cove
#

I've just never seen a game quite like it

compact depot

I just think

#

name another story game that is not like that lol

serene cove
#

Faie enough lol

#

Fair*

remote willow
#

That a game about being a rootin tooting cowboy is unmatched

#

There is one better game in my opinion

#

which I doubt yall have heard of

#

Well

#

Not better

#

But pretty close

#

Mafia 1 and 2 are better than rdr imo

I can't decide which story arc I like more

#

Oh ok

hidden moss
#

But he rarely gets time to play

#

So we only played about twice

#

It was fun though

bitter echo
late spindle
#

Like its not part of the main game but its some side content to do

bitter echo
late spindle
#

Online is boring as all hell if your only playing it to do missons and get money

#

You gotta play it with freinds and come up with shit to do

bitter echo
late spindle
#

I totally get it. Online was made to be a cash grab like gta online. Single player is where my foccus is but I still hop into online every now and then

thick mortar
#

I have too much money in red dead… I have really good horse, what can I do with it?

late spindle
#

You have all the outfits? All the guns?

thick mortar
#

(Story mode btw)

late spindle
#

Maybe just start a new playthrough. Once you beat the epilogue money isn't a concern

thick mortar
#

Well I’m on chapter 4 of the game

#

Or whichever chapter saint denis is

#

Yeah 4

late spindle
#

Oh chapter 4? Shit

#

Well just play trough the game and do side quests

#

If you see something then just buy it

bitter echo
late spindle
#

I do most of them as Arthur then in the epilogue I have the 20k as John

late spindle
#

What chapter are you in?

bitter echo
#

paused at last mission of chapter 2

#

avoiding camp 😛

late spindle
#

Ha. I'm around the same point. Just about to enter chapter 3

#

Trying to get alot of the camp upgrades before I move to clemens point

bitter echo
#

I like this moment in the story, everyone is still hopeful, the poop hasn't hit the fan yet. Arthur doesn't know what that encounter with Downes did to him...little perfect moment in time for the gang

serene cove
#

Some down time to find Lenneh

late spindle
#

Stuff doesn't really go bad to around chapter 4. You can notice a decline in chapter 3 though

serene cove
#

Yeah, dutch has some strange lines

bitter echo
#

and if I avoid camp I don't have to listen to Dutch's bs

#

that man needs a muzzle omg

serene cove
#

Right after I got to Horseshoe Overlook he started talking about how I would betray him

#

Think that might have been a bug

bitter echo
#

how no one shot Dutch before the beginning of this story is beyond me

crimson bronze
#

No that actually isn't a bug.

bitter echo
#

"Have fai..." Bang!

serene cove
#

He was okay before Micah got in his ear from what I've heard

late spindle
#

The main thing I noticed is the decline of Molly's and dutchs relationship

crimson bronze
#

He will openly suggest Arthur may turn against him that early in the game.

late spindle
#

He wasn't crazy yet

bitter echo
#

Eh, I think Dutch was a delusional fool who manipulated people into enabling him to have the life he wanted.

serene cove
#

Well I did a lot of analyzing

#

Dutch always said the same thing over and over

late spindle
#

I feel it's a mix of he was using people and he went crazy

bitter echo
#

He's sociopathic narcissist.

serene cove
#

Eventually people stopped believing him and he snapped

bitter echo
#

Yes, he did get unhinged, no argument there.

crimson bronze
#

"Who made you the messiah that led these lost souls so horribly astray"

late spindle
#

Because he definitely changed throughout chapters 1-6

serene cove
#

Honestly

#

Agent Milton is the best villain

#

He tried to he fair

crimson bronze
#

Milton and Uncle pinned Dutch down to an absolute T

serene cove
#

So did John

#

A bad man who finally got found out

late spindle
#

He got worse in chapter 6 but I don't feel it was always his intent to take the money and leave people behind

crimson bronze
#

Hell, He browbeats John at the start of Chapter 3

serene cove
#

Arthur was a good man who tried to do bad, Dutch was a bad man who tried to do good

bitter echo
#

No, I don't think he intended to leave anyone, but he had no problems using everyone to make the delusional view of himself as some libertarian messiah become reality.

serene cove
#

In the end, they both failed

late spindle
#

I feel it was more him using people so he could push his agenda. Even though he was using them he cared for them at the beginning of the story

serene cove
#

Dutch had a savior complex

#

He wanted to be the one who saved them

#

But in the end all he did was doom them all

#

Look at what he did to Sadie

bitter echo
#

He wanted to save them so he could feel like the one who saved them. He was more interested in elevating his own view of himself than in the salvation of others. They were all a means to an end.

serene cove
#

He only cared for them because they were devoted to him

late spindle
#

He wants to have a good image to the gang. That's why he hold that mentality

#

If the gang thinks he saved them then they will stick with him

serene cove
#

Once they stopped blindly following him, he d8dnt accept them

late spindle
#

In chapters 1-4 he sees Arthur as a brother and a son. In chapter 6 he sees him as a problem

serene cove
#

There is still the question

#

What was he doing on the mountain?

late spindle
#

He Cleary wasn't there for the money so don't even say that

serene cove
#

He said he was there for the same reason as John

late spindle
#

He was there because he realized micah had used him and screwed him over. He was there to kill him

serene cove
#

They ran together

#

I think John's confrontation finally made him realize what had happenef

crimson bronze
#

Hell another perfect shift was Dutch urging John to attempt to be a father to Jack, only to tell him to relax about his obligation to the gang by the time Jack is returned by Bronte and be a family together with Abigail only to really sour on that idea by chapter 6

bitter echo
# late spindle In chapters 1-4 he sees Arthur as a brother and a son. In chapter 6 he sees him ...

I think that's only partly true, because even here in Chapter 2, I was walking by Dutch in camp and he randomly said to me in one of those moments where they say stuff, "You're going to betray me, Arthur. You're that type." Even on the way to the first O'Driscoll camp after coming out of Colter, Arthur was questioning Dutch's revenge motives, throwing his own teaching back in Dutch's face. I think Arthur was a problem in Dutch's eyes well before chapter 4. I think it just becomes painfully obvious at later points.

late spindle
#

Well thats debatable

serene cove
#

Dutch raised Arthur to be a good man and then deeply regretted it

late spindle
#

I think he definitely saw that Arthur was questioning him but I do not think he saw him as problematic by that point

serene cove
#

I think what really undid Dutch was Hoseas passing

late spindle
#

Definitely

#

That was the last straw

serene cove
#

Hosea was the glue holding that man together

crimson bronze
#

I mean...Sort of? Dutch really only saw Arthur as the Workhorse of the gang, never really asked him on what his thoughts were on certain things to do.

bitter echo
#

Many points here in chapter 2, Arthur and Hosea talk about how Dutch isn't the same as he used to be, Arthur and John talk about Dutch is off on the way to the saloon during the Sheep and the Goats. I think the break happens at Blackwater and it's already there at the beginning of the story.

serene cove
#

That went and so did he

late spindle
crimson bronze
#

Instead of attempt to Hear Arthur our when he begins to fill in the gap Hosea's death left he doesn't pause and consider what Arthur might be saying.

bitter echo
#

They mention how at Blackwater Dutch killed some woman in a horrible way and that wasn't like him

late spindle
#

The saint denis job really put the nail in the cofen

I never knew this but, did you guys know Red Harlows house is referenced in RDR2?

#

it’s the house near the donkey woman

crimson bronze

#

it’s burned down just like red harlows house, and there’s a grave exactly where reds father died

#

I wonder if Red Harlow really exists in the redemption series

#

What do you guys think

crimson bronze
#

Technically, he certainly should, but Rockstar kind of limp-wristed the answer something fierce

spiral laurel
#

Well rockstar said revolver isn’t canon to redemption

#

Yet we hear stories about the events of revolver

bitter echo
# late spindle Well I feel he did have an out planned. Keep in mind he was fully ready to leave...

I understand why it looked that way, and why that could be true, but I really think given the historical precedent, he would've intentionally (or unintentionally depending on how much of this was his subconcious) would have created another crisis and keep things going. He had nothing without his crew. If everyone had their money and rode off into the sunset to new lives, he would have sat down in the road a lost man, because he is nothing without someone to save/teach/lead. He needed conflicts to make them need him.

#

Obviously these are all speculations, we only have how the story actually played out to go off of

late spindle
spiral laurel
#

Plus we see two locations from revolver

#

One being reds house

#

where his fathers grave is

late spindle
#

Dutch trys to keep everyone together by the goal. Once they reach the goal they all live a happy life together.

bitter echo
late spindle
#

Don't get me wrong it did look to me like some gang members wernt gonna be there forever

bitter echo
#

they would have got out of the life, and staying side by side with each other would have continued to remind themselves of their past while trying to build a future. look how hard Abigail tried to get John to set down his past.

late spindle

bitter echo
#

*Bill is stupid so of course he'd stay, who else would put up with his dumb nonsense 😛

late spindle
#

Well there was the storyline with Mary. If you do the mosson with her in chapter 4 and go to the theater it looks like they will run away with the conversation they have. But that misson is completely optional

#

So its effect on the story depends on if and how you do it

bitter echo
#

I love their story it was so sweet 🙂

#

hey I have to break for lunch, thanks for the fun convo 🙂

serene cove
#

Would Arthur be the man he became if he never got sick?

late spindle
#

Alright see you later man

late spindle
serene cove
#

He started trying to redeem himself before his time came

late spindle
#

It was definitely a motivation

serene cove
#

If it never came, would he become a good man or stay the outlaw he was?

late spindle
#

But there was other stuff going on to lead him to that path

late spindle
#

Like help the Downes family since it's optional in the first place its debatable if he would of helped them

#

Then again he seems concerned for her in chapter 4 if you do the mission for sister Calderon

serene cove
#

Would the gang have decline though?

late spindle
#

Definitely

serene cove
#

I feel like a healthy Arthur would have just nipped it at the bud right then and there

late spindle
#

Hosea would of still died and micah would still be in dutchs ear

serene cove
#

Arthur could have just killed Micah

late spindle
#

Though a healthy Arthur would of kicked micahs ass

#

Yeah definitely

#

Anyway I gotta go eat

#

#

Think it was some unheard of character

#

as the cast doesn't seem to remember their name

azure pawn
#

Frick LENNY!

hidden moss
#

sure is

#

im just speaking my theory here

#

Sadie just seemed to have natural chemistry with Arthur

#

would be cool

#

i dunno

#

i dont think so

#

they had great chemistry but i dont think they would do as a couple

hidden moss
bitter echo
#

I think Arthur was a romantic, and I can see him interested in Sadie, but on the flip side, I see Sadie as horribly broken by the course her life took, and I don't believe she would be able to reciprocate. It's almost like her character arc is the exact opposites of Arthur's.

#

He's being redeemed, she's becoming corrupt.

hidden moss
#

I mean in the end Sadie also redeemed herself

#

and she turned on the good side of the law

#

but yeah

candid walrus
#

I feel like they had more of a brother/sister type of relationship. Not a romantic one

bitter echo
#

Eh, she's kinda on the side of the law. But she also had become so hard at that point.

hidden moss
serene cove
#

I like the fact they kept Sadie a widow

hidden moss
#

Arthur had a thing for widows

serene cove
#

Her love for her husband ran very deep and so did her desire for revenge

hidden moss
#

I mean, if online is anything to go by, Sadie's husband was kind of an idiot pepelaugh

#

but nah seriously who knows

#

Sadie is just my favorite side character

serene cove
#

I hope rdr3 happens and we get to play as Sadie

#

Her voice actor says she'd be willing to return if that were the case

bitter echo
#

she'll be too old by then, RDR3 is probably 15 years out if Rockstar follows the current development cycle for its games

hidden moss
#

that would be cool as fuck, but I think in rdr3 we would play as one of the younger members of the Dutch gang back before things got so bad

#

might be another prequel

#

cause they can't really do too much after 1910

#

All I wanna see is if Dutch really was crazy from the start or something happened along the way

bitter echo
#

maybe we'll play as the Pinkertons 😛

hidden moss
#

I just think the combination of totally fucked up events seriously destroyed Dutch's mental health

#

I dont think he was that insane the whole time

#

otherwise nobody would have listened to him

serene cove

Let us play as agent milton

#

wow never had that happen before. I'm paused at the final mission of chapter 2, doing challenges and whatnot, and Javier just came out to tell me Dutch was worried about me lol

red helm
#

Did he ask if you wanted to go back to Camp? That was happening to me in Chapter 6.

tardy wigeon

yeah

bitter echo
red helm

Well, of course, that would be pretty lame if there wasn't a choice.

bitter echo
#

point of clarification for clean kills: black bears are large, grizzlies are massive?

red helm
#

Hrm.... uncertain about black bears, check their info in the compendium.

native thunder
#

they are both bears

#

one shot with regular ammo on springfield to the head will kill em

#

bolt action doesnt do enough dmg, i use high velocity

bitter echo

right on, ty

#

did the bandit camps in singleplayer originally respawn? hanging rock respawned for me in this playthrough, and I don't remember it doing that when I first got the game

native thunder
#

i dont think they did

#

but camps just respawn now

bitter echo
#

such a nice quality of life update

native thunder
#

like the people who are friendly to you always respawn in the same spot and tell you the same story

bitter echo
#

makes challenges easier having a large group of targets

native thunder
#

like the guy who talks about the aberdeen siblings

bitter echo
#

don't know if I remember that guy

spiral laurel
#

I just realized how weird it was that despite hangings being common in RDR

#

We can never get hung ourselves

#

We get the highest bounty ever? Eh, just sleep it off

native thunder
#

uh, well, bcs the player being hung and dying doesn't really come off well?

spiral laurel
#

I get why in terms of gameplay

native thunder

that sounds like an awkward way to die in game lol

It’s just weird once you think about it

Ok i'm back in Singleplayer

It's not as "realistic"

how is the entire procesa of selling the white arabian? it respawn if sold? can i sell it at any stable? i go to the stable with the horse and the rope or what

Wait, honor level 7 is one level before max honor, and you can get level 7 honor in chapter 4. And level 7 honor gives you -50% in all shops. My question is:Can you get -50% before reaching max honor/chapter 6?

hushed flare

Chapter 4 is a good chapter anyway

Apparently you can’t trigger legendary bullgator hunt until after doing Country Pursuits in chapter 4

To continue the conversation about realism

Realism works imo as long as it
1: is real, like the name implies
2: it’s Intuitive or fun
3: or it makes sense with everything else in the game

Oh god another one

I would fight him irl and I would win cause Micah is pathetic

micah would beat you by sitting on you because of his weight

nah i know kung-fu definitely source: trust me bro

Micah couldn't beat a dying man

latent turtle

yeah Dutch is the only reason why Micah won lmao

serene cove

He didn't win though

#

He ran away

latent turtle

in bad honor he shoots arthur

serene cove

I know

#

Shot a man during a fistfight

latent turtle
#

yeah what a loser. couldnt even win against a man who had like 10 minutes left on his clock

serene cove
#

He even permanently cripples Micah if you go for the money

latent turtle
#

why would anyone go for the money

#

john is second best

serene cove
#

Yeah that's kind of what I thought

#

It goes against everything you worked toward

latent turtle
#

yeah kinda dumb choice

#

i've played the game like three times

#

havent gone for it once

#

i dont know why they included it.

serene cove
#

Yeah what would the benefit even be

#

"Aha I have the money for the next 2 seconds I have left of life"

latent turtle
#

like oh yeah dead man's gonna get his riches

native thunder
#

i think i saw a comment on a yt vid who thought arthur would get the money so he could help john

serene cove
#

John didn't want it

native thunder
#

but yea the choice is pretty dumb, unless the player just wants to do that lol

#

uh yea he doesnt, bcs aint no way he's risking it when he has a family

serene cove
#

He wanted to be with his family

latent turtle
#

something i feel kinda embarrassed about is that i did a bad honor arthur my first run

serene cove
#

I couldn't do it lol

#

Felt like I owed it to Arthur to make him a good guy

latent turtle
#

cause i started off thinking it would just be like a funny GTA game and shoot people

serene cove

I can see that

latent turtle

and then i got invested and was like oh crap im at terrible honor

I hogtied an escaped prisoner and tried returning him to the sheriff but I just got reported for it

Sometimes they let you do that

#

Like with the random encounter where the guy accidentally shoots his friend

#

You can tie him up and turn him in

marsh bolt

I turned in a literal prisoner

#

like jumpsuit and all

latent turtle

there were two people who were about to have a duel, and i pushed one of them over to stop them from killing each other; then both of them tried to beat me up and i knocked both of them out and i got negative honor lmao

marsh bolt

reported for kidnapping lol

serene cove

Yeah sometimes the game is strange

who else wants to get a mod to spawn a maxim and shoot up a passenger train cause i think that would be fun

I have to ask cuz I think i found a weird glitch

I got in trouble for knocking out a man after he was stabbing me

The cops watched him stab me and did nothing

rival gang member of dutch

colm and dutch have history with each other, and colm killed dutch's lover, annabelle, and dutch killed colm's brother, so now the van der linde gang and odriscoll boys are enemy gangs

#

You don't want to flex on people?

hushed flare
#

too many flexers

marsh bolt
#

Why is that something to flex

serene cove
#

It's so difficult to 100% the game

hushed flare
#

It's tedious yes

marsh bolt
#

To me that just seems like the opposite as you just have too much time

native thunder
#

not difficult, just way too tedious lol

serene cove
#

Due to its size, the game is difficult to 100%

#

Tedium=difficulty for me

hushed flare
#

The first 90% is easy, the last 10% is the annoying part

marsh bolt
#

Something role worthy imo is like how people beat dark souls without leveling up

serene cove
#

Cause it's difficult to give a shit

marsh bolt
#

thats legitimately difficult

serene cove
#

I tried to 100% it

hushed flare
#

Only things to worry about in 100% probably is all 90 challenges (specifically gambler) and hunting requests. And probably the first part of duchess and other animals

hidden moss
#

I am trying to get all the challenges done

#

Done with bandit and master hunter

#

Though gambler will be pain

native thunder
#

first 85 or so percent can be achieved basically by playing the story lol

marsh bolt
#

The only reason I got rdr2 is bc i saw a really funny video of someone dragging a man across the entire map of rdr2

serene cove
#

After going all across the country and hunting the legendaries, fishing the legendary fish, and visiting the graves, I just gave up

#

I was so bored

native thunder
#

those are easier requirements lol

marsh bolt
#

I can confirm the lasso is the best part of the game

serene cove
#

I know those are the easier ones

hushed flare
#

Gambler challenges is just dumb

serene cove
#

If it's that boring to get all those easy ones, I can't imagine the harder ones

marsh bolt
#

The reputation system in this game is fucked tho

native thunder
#

the hardest one is probably godamn algernon

serene cove
#

ALGERNON

marsh bolt
#

it seems random when I get good rep or bad rep from something

native thunder
#

literally every request sounds so absurd

hushed flare
serene cove
native thunder
#

MS HOBBS is actually kinda doable

#

im on 3rd request now

serene cove
#

I got all the ghost flowers and gave up

hushed flare
#

Algernon is just going around the map on guides for orchids and then visiting the same spot every 3 in game days for the birds

native thunder
#

algernon's requires so many, i think the first one he requires 30 or something of whatever

#

cardinals are decently common if ur looking for them, so are sparrows and songbirds who travel in packs

hushed flare
serene cove
#

Algernon enrages me

native thunder
#

i had trouble with woodpeckers , saw only 4 and all were good except one

serene cove
#

The rewards are pretty bad imo

native thunder
#

oriole i saw twice and was lucky to shoot one when i came across it

serene cove
#

The revolver is useless and the hat is ugly

hushed flare
#

Oriole is all over west Elizabeth

native thunder
#

algernon's revolver is just double action reskin, and the hat is something john or arthur would probably throw in the trash lmao

hushed flare
#

Cardinal and woodpeckers can be found at fort Brennand I think, found like 5000 perfect ones trying to find a robin

serene cove
#

Double actions are awful

native thunder
#

oh yea robins, i found them while traveling

hushed flare
#

And only for the hat

native thunder
#

i spent a decent amount of time kinda southeast, at montana river

red helm
#

Tip, get the birds, before you are on the requests. so the spawn rates aren't f'd up.

serene cove
#

The hat is ugly and you are a fool

hushed flare

Ok level 50 in online

tbh i doubt it bcs it seems way too scummy even for rockstar

red helm
hushed flare
native thunder
#

it sounds like the guy jsut had trouble, like i could say the same thing for any animal i have trouble finding when im actually looking for them

serene cove
#

It's a good way to pad out the length of the game

#

Don't now why they'd pad the game, it's already very long

native thunder
#

like i could say rabbits have 50% spawn rate decreaesed when u get pearson's rabbit request

red helm
#

When I was on the Request list with WoodPeckers, they were barely ever around. however, when I went to the next list. There were like 3 times as many around.

hushed flare
#

I mean I find rabbits everywhere even with the rabbit on horseback kills and then3 perfect rabbits

native thunder
#

yea that just seems like coincidence

red helm
#

Sure, could be.... but, so many people talk about it..

native thunder
#

rdr2 always has animals everywhere you go, but when u actually pay attention to look for them they seem to stop spawning

serene cove
#

Yeah, you're looking too hard to actually see them

#

You know?

red helm
#

Then when I was looking for Robins, again, very hard to find, but afterwards... A lot more around.

hushed flare
native thunder
#

tbh yea

#

i think it was a strategy i use irl too, if i lost something i would just leave it after a while and eventually it would show up probably

serene cove
#

Yeah like

red helm
#

Before I even took the last list, I made sure to hunt for everything I needed.

native thunder
#

i was lucky to get an oriole and robin when i was looking for woodpeckers

serene cove
#

Try to get the hunting things done

native thunder
#

but tbh it didnt take me too long

That squirrel is fun to get

native thunder

woodpeckers are a bit harder bcs they spawn by themselves, but cardinals can be in pairs of two, sparrows and songbirds go in packs, idk about orioles

#

It was at the peak of Mount Shann

native thunder
#

i think orioles are 2 or three or by themselves

red helm

#

Some birds you can find on accident, that's how I completed my hunting requests

native thunder
#

double barrels are bad though

hushed flare
#

Random perfect skunks and opposums

native thunder
#

always try to look for two or more animals at once, and try not to focus too hard, and eventually you'll get them

#

i never actively hunted for squirrels. just rode around with a bow in hand all the time and they would always spawn scuttling around

Thank you very much sheep

Only practical use is you can kill 20 ducks instead of 16troll

Meat with seasoning or just normal meat is better?

the seasoning gives gold cores, and technically is better... but i never rly do it

Minty big game is probably the most useful type

dire sentinel

yeah

just big game plain in general is op

#

it messes with weight though

if you're underweight eat till you're perfect

hushed flare
dire sentinel
#

yeah, sadly there is a glitch in chapter six where meals are a lot slower to gain weight

#

rockstar should patch it ngl

hushed flare

one big game meat before bed is usually a reliable weight increaser unless you want to get drunk on moonshine

hushed flare

"you get less benefit from food or drink"

Whiskey is fast enough too make you drunk

dire sentinel

i ate like six meals in chapter six but only gained barely anything

well one big game meat should be enough

#

Then sleep

dire sentinel
#

i was 7.5% underweight then turned into 6.5% underweight lol

#

from the six meals

hushed flare
#

Did you get the zing sound

#

like whenever you eat a food with non full cores

#

1 chocolate bar and one chewing tobacco or cocaine gum then another chocolate bar is enough to gain weight reliably(at least without TB)

dire sentinel
hushed flare
#

But then it gets weird when you just gain/lose weight from taking down a campfire

quick whale
#

Eat some meat then sleep

hushed flare
#

Fast traveling also updates the weight system sometimes

#

I don't know if distance matters

#

At least theres a weight up icon and weight down icon in health core whenever weight updates
