Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[Batman]

Is that one legged fella you go fishing with Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker . Hate to admit it but did what probably is the worst thing you could do..his lake is a gold mine of fish, all types. And you don't even need a pole. Just stand in the shallows with the varmit rifle .

Also there is zero need for all the tonics and meds etc. Just make tons of grilled big game and beef with thyme and ginseng etc. I'm a rolling food truck ffs.

I never bothered with the tonics or meds either, once you get the legendary satchel or whatever it's called just head down near saint Denis and blast fuck out of some alligators, that's the easiest way to get good meat, with that satchel you can hold 99 of each item so it's pretty hard to run out of stuff once you are well stocked up.

Have to try that. Always have bad luck in the swamps with toothless hillbillies trying to Ned Betty me or gators spooking the horses. I have yet to craft a satchel and just realized you have to give the pelts to Pearson in camp rather than just having them on your person . Almost to the point of not labeling this one a 'game' but calling it a educational tool . Runs the gambit of accurate history to ethology to botany to a literal how to when it comes to playing poker and dominoes etc.

As technically impressive as the game is I do not think I will replay it nor try for 100% completion. My target is usually 95% then any collecting stuff gets dumped as it is filler. Spiderman 100% as it was pure fun. RDR2 was not. Thus 95%.

How do you get legendary satchel ??

Also what is the point of finding open tonics and bourbon etc ? You drink them and it does nothing it seeems.

Not played for a few days but will get back on it soon.

You have to get the dude back at camp to craft it for you by getting loads of perfect pelts, took about 8 hours in total to do it.

I think the bourbon increases your dead eye slightly but damages health a wee bit, or something like that

[Mark TKO]

Yes it does but when you find an open bottle of something you still take it but when drink it it does nothing.

So what’s the point

[Mark TKO]

Just seen you have to craft every other satchel to do the legendary one and need a shit load of perfect pelts.

I’ve not collected one yet as they are too much effort.

In short I won’t be getting one

There's a certain point after ch.5 when maintaining 'health' becomes more difficult and found only thing that aids deadeye is booze, cigars and a satchel full of grilled Thyme meats. Or sleeping.

weeks in and just had first 'duel challenge' in the street. These were definitely more prevalent in first game and forgot how to do them .

Anyone else find the Viking burial chamber and random stones?
