I wonder who thought it was a good idea to map the E button to both mounting your horse and tackling someone like a 300-pound linebacker

There s something about Red Dead Redemption 1 that just feels lonely. Riding through the endless desert at night, with nothing but the moon, distant mountains and silence around you. The whole world feels like it s slowly fading away. Honestly, few games have this kind of atmosphere

Issue Is it possible that this scripted encounter happen again?

Post image
• Upvotes

Ive been trying to get all the map icons during my current playthrough, but something so little quote unquote ruined it.

For those who dont know, there are in total 4 grizz bear icons that can only be triggered during the scripted event (N°2 on the image, creds to user northernscript) that they catch a salmon near the riverbed and eat it, there is a total of four locations it can happen: Dakota river, U. Montana River, aurora basin and o'creaghs run.

and it so just happens that, a while ago, during this playthrough, i was at o'creaghs run hunting the legendary bear.. but when i arrived the event was happening, i tried to pass through the farthest away from it so it doesnt trigger just yet, like any other encounter, if youre busy (like i was) you just ignore it and go on as you were. I hunt the legendary bear and sell it to the trapper.

But after that, when i was midway ch3, out of nowhere, i remembered this and thought to myself "is it possible that the bear encounter aleady happened?" So i headed to U. Montana river and it did not spawn there, so i loaded my save, and same thing, which SUCKS because you shouldnt let something happen once where you need more of that stance to happen again.

The little ignorance i gave to that bear during ch2 was enough to make me not able to get 4 icons throughout my gameplay, and it really sucks

I literally did NOT engage with the event, maybe i lingered too long i guess.. so i was wondering if maybe itd happen again? Maybe during epilogue? Because i am currently on a new save, trying not to trigger it too early but idk man i feel like i dont got the will to go through ch2 again and all the progress i did.

I’ve fully completed the story so I’m wondering if there’s a way to remove the offhand holster without having to do a glitch during a mission.

Spoiler I FINALLY COMPLETED Red Dead Redemption 2

Thumbnail

127 Upvotes

I know I'm pretty late, but I finally completed RDR2. I never had a PC good enough to run it before, but I finally bought one two weeks ago and immediately started playing.

I already knew how the story ended, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game. In fact, because I knew what was coming, I took my time. I explored the world, completed as many Stranger missions and side missions as I could with Arthur, and tried to experience as much of the game as possible. By the end, my Arthur had the highest honor level possible, and I'm glad I experienced his story that way.

Just before the final mission of Chapter 6, I somehow came across someone talking about the Aberdeen Pig Farm trick, which lets you transfer Arthur's money to John. I tried it, and it actually worked.

This is genuinely the best video game I have ever played. Even though I already knew the ending, it still hit me incredibly hard. I got way more emotional than I expected, and I don't even know how to properly describe what I felt. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this game.

I completed the story in 9 days and also did every single side missions i could do with Arthur and john and ended up at around 78% total completion by the time I finished it. I had a vacation so i used to play this game all day long

Now that it's over, I genuinely feel empty. Spending all that time with Arthur, exploring the world, meeting different characters, helping strangers, and watching the story unfold was an experience I won't forget.

What a game. What a story. What an experience.

Question Is it a coincidence or by design that 3-star deer run away more often than lower-quality deer?

Post image
63 Upvotes

I'm new to the game and still in Chapter 2. While hunting deer, I noticed a pattern.

Whenever I shoot a deer, the 3-star deer near it seem to be more skittish to gunfire and are more likely to run, while the 2-star and 1-star deer often don't seem to notice, even though the deer next to them dropped dead.

In other words, the 3-star deer seem to be more alert or attentive than the lower-quality ones.

Is this an actual mechanic, or am I just imagining it?

Knowing how ridiculously detailed this game's ecosystem is, I wouldn't be surprised if it's intentional.

Online Community outfit idea - Gunslinger

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

This is my take on a more modern well suited gunslinger, pairs excellently with the Mauser or Semi Auto pistols. He’s ready to get in the fray and go to an elegant party right after.

I believe all pieces are currently available, but the glasses are kinda expensive so might even look good without them. I’ve tested this outfit with multiple hair styles and looks good without the hat only for short hair styles with moustaches.

Pieces are as follows:

Hat - Stalker Hat

Neckwear - Brown Dress Tie

Coat - Brown Shotgun Coat

Vest - Brown Mattock Vest

Shirt - White Corrales Shirt

Gloves - Black Leather Gloves

Pants - Brown Tuxedo Pants

Shoes - Black Dress Shoes
