| AngryLittleAlchemist said: HAHA, your gang goes looking for you? That's hilarious, because the entire game I was thinking: "damn, Arthur won't shut up about John leaving for a year ... I wonder what will happen if I stay away too long?" I was on the fence about whether Rockstar would make the game that detailed, I'm not surprised there's a mechanic like that though By the way .. while that video is funny, you didn't technical have to do all that, right? Most of those witnesses, if not all, were just investigating. If you just ran out of the area in time you wouldn't have been given a bounty. Or am I wrong? I don't know - seems like you spent more time with the game than me, haha I agree with you about the story missions by the way - I personally am very slightly disappointed that half of them involve a huge shootout and/or using a wagon of some sorts. But I have to say, still, this game has a lot more variety than what I remember from the original Red Dead. In that game, it was like the first hour was these really cute small missions that immersed you in the world, and then everything after that was just killing over and over again. There was some variations (like I believe the fraud medicine man missions), but it made me never finish the game even after getting pretty far into it. I love the fact that the two legendary hunting missions I've done (one being a main story mission and one being from a tax collection "main mission" of sorts, although it might have been optional i'm not sure) have both been like horror films - particularly the second one. I have almost never been so scared in a game as I have going into a Cougar den in Red Dead. |
I will say the mask/bandanna actually comes in real handy. It's the second time already that a gang member came after me and offers a ride back to camp. Perhaps R* thinks I'm too stupid to find it myself :)
If you can leave fast enough you can usually get away from the witness. However it doesn't always work and I had not saved for a while. Not to risk a bounty, all witnesses had to die! Why is that road so damn busy. Wild west rush hour. The two legendary ones were a horror film alright, mostly because of the auto put away gun nonsense when you run around then when you try to shoot he takes out the useless cattleman revolver! However fighting off a legendary bear proved a lot easier than a couple nasty wolves at night, or one bite from a croc. Legendary teddy bear!
The gang didn't find me tonight as I got majorly sidetracked exploring a way to go white water canoeing down Dakota River. First step, find a boat and a place where to save that on reload the boat will be back. You can't save and keep the boat nor camp near a boat as both will simply move you to some pre selected spot and anything you had with you will be gone. Which means I had to do it all in one take. That turned out to be impossible. The Cumberland falls are too high and will always sink the boat, if you even make it that far. Luckily I found another canoe halfway and rowed it all the way up to edit it together into one single trip. It's actually 3 trips as the canoe got stuck in one.
It was an amazing journey down all the rapids, in the rain, fog, rainbow coming out., birds scattering, deer going through the water, even an eagle fishing, ending with the sun setting at the end of the river.
I edited all the failures together after the journey, a blooper reel. All the painful deaths start at 21:20. Each death meant reload and start from the top! 3 hours of gameplay lol. However pretty insane that it is possible at all.
Tomorrow down the other river, if I can find another boat. I will boat every piece of water!
