Red Dead Redemption 2 |OT2| For A Few Hours More
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
You make small game arrows at your campsite, similar to how you can split bullets. It's one of the many things the game doesn't really tell you in any kind of overt way unfortunately, took me awhile to figure it out and mostly did it by accident.
Also by campsite, I mean one that you set up yourself, in the wilderness. You might be able to do it at the main camp but I haven't figured out how.
Thanks for this. I was there last night and couldn't figure out how to get back there; I just never got the prompt.
I think there's another way of getting to that upstairs room, though. There's a ladder up to the roof in the area behind the Gunsmith, and I think once you're on the roof you can jump up to the balcony where the entrance to the room is. I'm not sure, though; you can definitely get up to the roof, but I didn't know what I was looking for once I was up there and only put two and two together when I saw your video.
A quick question I was hoping to get cleared up. A couple folks requested some food supplies and apparently I could head over to Appleseed Lumber Co to possible source some. I went there and the foreman acted like I had caused trouble there before and would not speak to me. I thought it may be due to the bounty I had from some business earlier in Strawberry but I went and paid the $300 hoping he would now talk to me, nothing.
Is there anyway to get him to deal with me? Once I cleared the bounty the game gave a tooltip saying I could sell supplies to them. However I am unable to interact at all.
Do I need to kill the Foreman and hope his replacement is nicer? haha.

Whaaaaa. For some reason I thought you couldn't do this. Smart thinking.
You have to love yourself a fire.
It's one of the blessings..
freely given to all.
And yet, perhaps
not freely given.
I am reminded of Prometheus.
In many ways, the Greek myths are best
at explaining the very punishments
that imbue our daily existence with their piquant tortures.
Sure, we can have fire.
And we can have the knowledge of fire.
But with that comes the knowledge of everything...
We become like a God.
Because to be all powerful is to be all suffering.
Yes...
Thus, Prometheus gave us light,
and warmth,
and eternal damnation,
and the awareness of our isolation for everything holy.
Quite the conundrum, fire.
Hmm?..
It's enough to make a man drink...
...or worse.

Perfect, thanks.
Yes it's a bit weird they've kind of left things for players to figure out. There is a ton of stuff going on. So I'm not sure how they would go about covering it all.
So legendary buffalo skin ...Trapper or fence? where do I want to take it for the best crafting?
There's a second campfire in camp which is the "scout" camp. You can do those there.
I was confused by this too. Turns out the sidequest doesn't resume until later in the game.
read the items again from the left menu... will tell you that it can continue later.
RDR 1 is just as good in this department so it was pretty much expected. No other franchise can touch Red Dead when it comes to the actual feel and sound of the gunplay.
Damn, that sucks. Could always try to reinforce your health in fights, but I'd definitely look into the trinkets/talismen if you can, should be something that can help.
Anyone experienced the random event in Valentine where
some guy asks you to rob his friend in the hotel? I agreed to do it and we were supposed to split the money. I'm in the hotel room stealing his shit, and he walks in and we get into a fistfight. I end up killing him with my knife, and get away before law enforcement can identify me. I lost some honor, but now I guess I get to keep all of the money for myself because the dude I talked to is nowhere to be found.
So I guess it's not possible to actually keep all the weapons you acquire? Kind of sucks, I would have at least liked to keep all the gunslinger weapons...
I've been crafting improved arrows by shooting birds out the sky and collecting their flight feathers. Is there an option to BUY improved arrows outright from places like the gunsmith?
Thanks. It's not the only sidequest that doesn't show up on the map when I select them. None do.
Shady Belle question
is there a third story? I keep seeing a gray icon near Arthur's room. Not sure what it is.
You can? Just pick them up and your other weapon will be on your horse.
So if, for example, I have to drop one of my revolvers to pick up another one, the one I had to drop will appear on my horse?
Yes. I had the same concern. I had to drop my customized Scofield Revolver to pick up a gunslinger revolver but it was back on my horse.
I haven't been able to play as much as I want to. I've put in 31 hours since release and I believe I'm still in chapter 2. This game has just blown away my expectations and delivered something I didn't quite know I wanted.
Just existing in this world, is a joy. Walking around camp conversing with people, pouring myself some coffee, and just existing, is quite something. The dedication to realism, and immersion is astounding. The way I explain to my friends that haven't played yet, is that this isn't just an old west open world game. This is an old west sim.
What is there to say about the graphics that hasn't already been said? It's drop dead gorgeous. The draw distance, the lighting, the weather, the location variety, the towns. It's incredible. I can't say I've played a better looking game. It feels like a real place. Just immaculately crafted and realized.
It sounds excellent as well. Thunderstorms, rain, galloping horses, punchy shotguns, rifles echoing through the heartlands. And the score is just incredible. From mission specific, to ambient, the music is just perfect. My one issue is that dialogue can get lost sometimes. But even that isn't a huge problem. Overall the sound is amazing.
Gunplay is admittedly a bit sluggish and unreliable at times. But be it by poor design or intentional, I feel like it actually adds to the overall immersion. Arthur feels like he has some weight to him, and that is reflected in the gunplay as well. Having to pull back the hammer to be able to shoot is something I didn't expect, but I love it.
I love the slowness to everything. I love that it makes you play at a certain pace. I love how characters stories are unfolding. Everything has a degree of naturalism applied to it to hide the fact that you're playing a video game. And at times it really doesn't feel like you are.
I care about my horse. How the hell did they pull that off? I picked out my horse thinking "I'll trade you in for something better later on." But now I don't think I can. And should the day come that Duria (my horse's name) gets taken out, I don't think I'll be reloading a save. That would feel like a betrayal of the systems and feeling the game is delivering.
Arthur as a protagonist was something I was worried about, but the more I play, and the more I learn, the more attached to him I am. Likewise with the gang. It really feels like these people have a history together. *Very mild non descriptive spoilers.* The party, was an absolute delight.
I can understand why some people are put off by it. Despite being extremely similar to the first game on the surface, on a gameplay and systems level, it's extremely different. Rockstar really went all in on this one. And even if you don't enjoy what they've done here, I don't think you can rightfully say that it's not impressive.
And what an appropriate thread title. It's the first game in a while that has messed with my sleep. I hate not being able to play it right now. All I want to do is get back in, and hunt one more animal, do one more mission, bring in one more bounty, drink one more cup of coffee.

Heh. Another OT3 title candidate. Everybody was confused by that too lol
I am exactly the same I'm at 56 hours and I'm in chapter 3. This game is really something else. I genuinely don't want it to end. If they've put as much effort into the multiplayer as the single player I don't need another game for a long time.
In Saint Denis, outside of the market where the trapper is, there were two guys (may or may not have been gang members) who were taunting me. I defused the situation and went in to the trapper. I exited the market and the guys took me for a tough guy who wanted action, so they started firing at me. Knowing how stupid the wanted system is, I fled, hoping to defuse the situation this way. After about ten seconds of being chased I became wanted by the authorities and had the cops gunning for me.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP? This is literally ruining the game for me at times. I can't surrender to the law. I'm having difficulty getting away from them on foot and my horse isn't getting into range. I don't want to fire back and raise my bounty even higher. There is literally no way to defuse a situation that I should not have been put in to begin with. I don't know if they're going to fix the wanted system, but gang members popping off at you with no repercussion from the law, and being unable to defend yourself from them without getting the law on you is absolutely ridiculous.

Late 30s iirc. I think it's one of the tutorial missions that he mentions he's been in the band for 20 years and that he met Dutch when he was 14-16.
Uh....you did ran into the the railing did you not? What did you expect really? The horse won't automatically turn right without your input like a self driving car, shit happen sometimes and it's okay.
The thing happened in your video would still happen in every other video game, be it cars, bikes or horses.
I agree, lucky for you this is an open world game so you have infinite time to figure it out on your own.
Lovely :)
If this game had better controls I might consider it one of the best games ever made.
Yeah, if you are an animal lover it could be hard to watch sometimes.
I try to, but it seems you need to eat a LOT to keep it normal.
So if HDR is trash, is there a setting to make it equal to SDR, or do you have to turn off HDR?
