Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

Getting the hang of crafting, camp upgrades etc. Ammo manufacturing is where it's at. Learned to turn off auto save and keep the bounties in check but I have yet to rob a single person. The whole hunting 'perfect' hides for leather work seems near impossible though and one thing that gets you is the 'wounding' of animals. Hit's you in the feels . Is there a way in dead eye to pick your 'X'? Seems like once you paint a target it aims at first spot it touches and different from first game.

I’ve not even done any crafting or ammo manufacturing. Seems a bit dull.

I been in London a few days so not played for a while. Think my last save I was hunting a legendary coyote but no sign of the twat.

Hollow points and incendiary slugs come in real handy when things get up close . Went for the coyote too..in some dried out lake bed area?..but ended up chasing down a jailed Lolita and freeing her from the coppers.

I never paint in dead eye, just head shots, then aim at next target, into dead eye target head again, repeat.

Yea perfect skins are hard, you can lasso bigger things and these use the O to kill it, generally gives perfect skins.

Once you get a bounty somewhere, try to complete as many bandit challenges as you can in that area, instead of getting bounties all over the place.

I might be doing it the hard way then, usually I hit dead eye and still have to aim and hope to X head first. It doesn't go auto. No idea about the lasso but makes sense.

Yea try aiming first, this should auto target an enemy. Then quickly click into dead eye. So it should be slowed down with a target on your enemy. Move your target to your enemies head as quickly as you can and then fire. This will take you out of dead eye, but just target your next enemy, enter dead eye again quickly and blast them in the head.

So after about an hour i finally kill the legendary coyote - shot him three times but he fucked off. After ten minutes trying to find him again messag comes up I’ve killed him and I find his body by a tree.

Ride about twenty minutes to the trapper with him on the back of my horse - am attached by a bandit who I fend off and kill - and get to the trapper. Go to sell the pelt and the fucking thing is no longer on the back of my horse. Twatting thing must have fallen off.

Words fucking fail me.

Keep checking back at the fence, it'll show up there sooner or later apparently, I haven't had to do it yet but that's what I read so I can't say how true it is.
