Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[Batman]

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?

[Mark TKO]

Yeah I've had about 3duels in the game so far and there's that long between them you forget how to do it.

I'm not looking forward to chapter 5 by the sounds of it...

I’ve reached Chapter two

I find myself playing along, doing as I’m told by the prompts on screen, all the while forgetting basic functions.

Ive arrived at camp and I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to be doing. I must have missed a prompt.

I had a look around, stumbled on a settlement and accidentally shot a guy, I then had to shoot the two guys trying to run away. I started to make my way back to camp, wandered into a red zone and got gunned down. Will have another look later.

Just run with it as it's wide open. Very easy to get distracted and there is no A,B,C order.

yeh took awhile to get the controls down and easy to pull a pistol or start a fight when all you're trying to do is greet someone . People react to everything you do and show.

[Mark TKO]

Yes stick with it. Somewhere during chapter 2 things just seem to click and it all makes sense.

If you look back on this thread I was cursing like fuck at the start as nothing seemed to make sense.

Bit overwhelmed with the vastness of the fucking thing.

Which I am now impressed by!
