Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[Gandalf]

Yeah, the TB thing hit me really hard. It held a mirror up to me in some ways and made me wince. A messed up chap looking for redemption, but there is no way out.

So I’m going to get TB am I .....

Or cancer. Hopefully TB.

Just started the epilogue yesterday.

Nothing like finally having a cold rainy day off of work and putting it on after a few days annnnnd...update! Apparently a very long slow one . Last out was at the Plantation camp when the Driscols attacked. Taking my time with it and just today found out how to use the 'tracking' slow mo feature to show where the herbs are as you ride around. It also helps a bit when it's pitch black and you can't see a thing. Until now I've just been stopping at random odd looking plants . Dutches voice is really really familiar. Sounds like a big movie character actor I cannot place.

Sh-t sorry mate, I thought you already knew how to enter that 'deadeye' mode. Click down both analog sticks (L3, R3).

Use it while you're riding around to find herbs, dream catchers, rock face paintings etc.

I did a few hours yesterday - now on 40 % !

Killed the beaver and the boar - though lost the boar skin and he never showed up at trapper ?!?

I am now at wanted level with filth everywhere looking for me but have no option to pay off bounties as stations are locked to me - anyone any idea what to do in this situation ??

Are you sure you don't have a mask on when going to the station? I had something like a $20 bounty and went to every station on the map to try and pay it off before I realised they won't speak to you if your face is covered

[Mark TKO]

Ah I might have done - I'd had it on for a bank job about an hour before but done loads since then. Maybe I never took it off - though I had been to the fence and trapper since ?

The post office is just locked and shows with a padlock icon ?

By the way do you ever do any shooting without dead eye ? I'm at stage now I use it then take a jolly jack mid fight to top it up and keep using it

I rarely use dead eye, just hit the L2 button and it auto aims at the chest area and then just tap the right analogue stick up slightly and boom majority of the time you have a headshot

[Mark TKO]

ah yes that will be why - I don't use auto aim except on horseback.

You should try with free aim......

This game has taught me how not only to play poker but win big as well ..sounds like some infomercial but it's true. Has anyone else found a train mid robbery? I seem to now have three that were being robbed and the crews ran off so I stacked them up? Amazing your horse follows along as you plow through. I was randomly attacked by a deer when I was fishing. He full on hit me from behind, did a dance and ran off into the trees. Finally figured out 'perfect' hides and what to use.

[Mark TKO]

only played poker once

not had a perfect pelt yet apart from the legendary animals.

Was approached and threatened by some strange hillbilly types whilst camping up by where the legendary beaver is. I have a feeling our paths will cross again.

Still on chapter 3

Still on chapter 3

Use you lasso and then walk over and press the O button, perfect pelt every time

I'm on chapter 5 I think now.

One scene I have just got past has cemented the game as one of my all time favourites

[Mark TKO]

never thought of doing that

to be honest given I used the gold bar cheat I've never needed cash so is there any other point to perfect pelts ?

The gold bar cheat has gone by the way but there is a new one where you can sell a horse that keeps respawning after sale and you can keep selling it indefinitely - again how do people find these things.

You need the perfect pelts so you can upgrade your satchel, gives you 99 capacity for everything so it's well worthit, its pretty fucking time consuming though, must have took me about 8 hours to do
