40 hrs in and safe for me to say this is the game of the generation for me. I can't wait to see what they add for online.

So just realised you can miss side stuff if you move on to the next chapter. Are the side stuff sort of around the general area of where you're at? Or it can be all over the map? I'm probably 15% into chapter 2.

I ran into a Stranger trying to sell me a Treasure map for $10. Bluffed him down to $5. Sensed a scam so I pulled him off his horse with my lasso after he told me to piss off. I dropped him off a cliff while tied up afterwards. Probably my most cruel killing but I can't be conned.

I bought that treasure map, and it led me to 2 gold bars.

Parts Unknown.
Huh. I went fishing with Kieran around the other side of the bay from the 2nd camp you get and:

on my way back I heard a woman gently say, ".. Arthur?".

At first I thought it was someone from the camp but it didn't sound right and it was too far anyway. I looked around where I was but I couldn't see anyone, and there was no blip on the map or anything.

Was this a bug or.. something else?
Happened to me too.

So i just got the ending spoiled by a girl on Tinder :) On her profile bio. Just a huge spoiler. This has been my most looked forward to game of all time and this is a huge bummer since i'm spoiler sensitive. I'm on chapter six now and really struggling to finish it as i already knows how it ends :(

What an odd thing to do on Tinder of all places.

I would take a couple of days away from it, don't play it for a little bit and I think you'll find yourself wanting to come back. Being bombed by that kind of spoiler sucks a lot but I feel like this game is more of journey and not a destination experience. I think it's worth it to complete it anyway for yourself.

If you're on chapter six then by now you already should've figured out how it's gonna end. :P

Sucks though, people are pretty creative lately when it comes to spoilers.

Any hints as to where to find the first map? It looked like it would be directly across the river near Camp but I can't seem to find it.
the map is misleading, it s not on or between the rock poles, it s on the high hill behind them, but you have the good location i think. Climb on top of the hill drop down on a slightly lower ledge in the east side, then jump across a small gap, the map is hidden behind a button prompt in a fissure on the left iirc

I have a gold bar I found in a scorched town, it says I can sell it in a fence... whats a fence? Am in chapter 2.

Also, is it true you at one point loose all your money, so the best thing is to upgrade the camp woth your funds instead of keeping it all on you?

Played a little more last night and I am actually enjoying it a little more. I still hate how some of the missions are, but it's fine.

A fence is a vendor that will appear on your map who will buy certain items from you.

The other thing is if you have a high bounty that you cannot afford to pay. it is easier to put all your money into the camp and then surrender to the sheriff. you will be put in jail and the bounty will be erased.

So I lost one of my guns. It's no longer on my horse. What do I do now, buy it again at full price or hope for it to drop somewhere?

Honestly Chapter 1 and 2 were an extended tutorial. When you get to Chapter 3, is where everything finally opens up and clicks. I would reccomrec doing all the missions in Chapter 1 and 2. Then when you get to Chapter 3 is when you should mess around and start going and doing side activities.

The game is freaking huge.

FUCK!

I sold the pen and now mary beth is asking for one. Any way to get another one?

The game really shouldn't let you sell key items like that without warning.

I just killed a 3 star deer. perfect condition. perfect shot. when i went back to camp to donate it to pearson it said "poor deer carcass. displaying major damage". wtf

i know the game said that animal bodies deteriorate over time but i literally killed it and galloped to camp straight away.

You get a kill prompt once you get close, B on XBO, knife in the throat, gives you a clean kill as well.

You can't pick them up? Because if you can.. You can uh.. Throw them in the water and watch as they drown and get up real close as they take their last gas...

You can use that situation for a nice clean kill shot if you aren't too good at getting them from a range.

Hm, maybe I wasn't close enough the first few times.
Anyway, it works. Thanks guys.

Edit: it still says "poor condition", though, when I sell or donate it. What can I do about that?

The game is really something else whenever it manages to "let you go". It clashes hard for me whenever the old Rockstar mission design comes up.
All of a sudden you are walking away from your horse, can't even chose your favorite guns and have to deal with waves of badguys.
Walk too far to the left? MISSION OVER. Wanna attack them from the rear? MISSION OVER.

Finally got the game, and proceeded to play until chapter 2. This is so great.

Right now, im
In the mood for this type of slow, realistic gameplay.

Like god damn, I'm chopping fucking wood and carrying hay and bags, doing chores, and enjoying the hell out of it. (The ping when you get higher relations with your horse and camp is really satisfying lol)

Looks like I'm going to love this game.

Controls absolutely sucks still tho. I hate rockstar character physics when walking.

Go into your settings and turn down deadzone, turn aim acceleration all the way up, and change sprint to toggle. Should alleviate slme of the control problems

Might be true :/ Just a big bummer. But yeah i'll try that!

It's crazy, i'd advice anyone who's afraid of spoilers to be extremely careful. Fucking Tinder

Did anyone ever figure out a way to compare weapons yet? Its kinda dumb that you walk over a weapon and you have to just guess and hope its better than what you already have?

The one you give to Mary you can only get from one specific cabin. Think that same cabin also gives you the story book for Jack.

Just look them up on YouTube. I did for all those side items no way I would have found those on my own.

Similar happened to me, saw a pristine white tail deer, killed it with a single perfect headshot, went to pick it up and it was poor. No idea what I did wrong

Thought I had a bug and the game gave me the same event twice. Turned out it was just the same guy getting bit by another snake. Loved the dialog on that one.

Is there a way to permanently remove guns from the inventory? I have a worn cattleman's revolver that i want to get rid of.

Closing in on the end, and it's super interesting seeing the characters become more like what they are in the first game and their motivations for it.

Were you able to get the map from his corpse? Before throwing him off the cliff I mean.

I was tempted to do the same in a similar situation, but 5$ (down from 10) is cheap.
Map wasn't a scam, but also not the whole thing.

if you don't use the right weapon type it will damage the pelt.

my problem was more, i used the right weapon type, and when i picked it up it was still perfect, but i think because i didn't skin it, i took the whole carcass, degradation damaged it, but it happened way too fast

The legendary buck trinket is either broken, or the description is misleading.

I've killed countless "good" animals and still only receive "good" pelts. I still need to kill pristine quality animals for perfect pelts.

My guess is that it only increases the pelt quality if you don't get a clean kill. But I always get clean kills because I'm the fucking hunt master. So this trinket is useless.
