While the mountain landscape is freaking sweet...i love me some open country. Tired of the swampy south too

Great train robbing up north... long runs without going through town

I'm only on chapter 2.

Also, my almost 4 year old son loves watching me play.  He always wants me to hunt or go fishing.  He fully understands what a pelt is now.

Sad story:  I came across a robbery and a shooting happened that somehow killed my horse.  One-shot kill.     I was in shock and it made my 4 year old pretty bummed.

Yeah - my horse is really the only thing I care about in the game.

I got mixed up in some rough business in St. Denis yesterday where I accidentally grabbed a guy - I hoenstly didn't mean to - and got a small bounty for assault.  During my escape, the cops went APE and started shooting at me (it was like a $10 bounty!).  Anyway, they brought down my warhorse, Doug, who I've been with since pretty early Ch. 2. 

So there I am, Doug is DOWN.  MY health is low.  Cops are on my ass.  I'm thinking that if I get killed before I revive Doug, Doug's a goner.  So I had to act quickly and perform a little revive on the steed, and told him to go on get, as I took off on foot (and eventually escaped by hiding amongst some corn fields outside of town).

I would have been devastated if I lost that big dumb horse.

Doug is a good horse name

I lost my longtime chapter 2/3 horse when I got gang ambushed driving a carriage to the fence. They shot both of the carriage horses, stopping it on the train tracks. Eventually a train came through during the firefight and plowed through the carriage and my horse, Sookiebear, died sometime during all that. No revival. I was crushed.

I know an irl cowboy who road a mule instead of a horse. a god damned mule. damndest thing you've ever seen. claimed that mule was as good or better than any horse. and you know what? I can't say it wasn't. also he was a tiny little guy (like 5'6") so maybe that made the mule a better fit for him.

this has been a real life cow farm story from steve dave who still doesn't own any video games.

How have you guys been playing?  I think I'm only 23% complete with the story, but I've explored the entire map and spent quite a bit of time in most places.  I think I've gone into every side cabin off of rural roads.  The one with a bear in it was a fun surprise, the meteor one was just strange.

I am the same way. Hardly any story and loads of rough ridin' around.  I do the challenges.  I stumbled upon a witches cabin thing, and drank the mysterious brew and ended up passing out and waking up later about 100 yards away.  No other cool witch effects tho.

Not a gamer, but I feel a lot of FOMO about this vidja game. What console should I buy to experience it?

[Spracne]

Too late. Xbone X ordered.

The x's will be $100 off pretty much everywhere next week, if that's important to you.

I paid extra for 1-day shipping, if that answers your question.

I accidentally *aimed* at the Mexican guy who had the sharpshooter challenges, mid challenge. He of course started shooting so i had to end him - surely the challenges aren't gone forever right?

I think if you "kill" most important NPCs, they'll come back later with a huge wound.  Like, I know that's how the trapper works for people that accidentally (?) kill him.  You spend the rest of the game seeing a giant hole in his chest whenever you need him to craft something.

Last night it wouldn’t let me shoot that dirty slaver Compson after the mission, so I blew his ass up with some Dyne-O-Mite

I hogtied him and left him on some train tracks near his camp.  Bye bye!

I accidentally killed him as well.  Some other random dude wanted to have a shooting competition off a dock in the swamp later in the game.  I haven't seen the Mexican dude again, though.

I keep dying and getting robbed $20-$60. Should I be carrying so much cash? Should you really invest in the camp?

I killed a house cat in front of Shamus and he ran to the authorities so I had to kill him. Saw him the next day at the fence and he didn't have a huge wound.

I have killed 4 cougar with my bow...only need 1 more for the sharpshooter challenge.  TIP:  Make sure you get to the cougar challenge before you do the debt collection mission north of Strawberry.  You will go on a hunt for a cougar in that mission, and it counts as a bow kill if you use your bow. 

This has been the hardest challenge for me thus far.  I am also struggling with he challenge to disarm 3 guys without reloading.

GOT MY FIFTH COUGAR WITH A BOW!   What a day!
