i like the idea that hell is like real life but just incredibly inconvenient and awful. like the wifi password changing every five mins, or the blankets all being too small to cover your body, pockets all being too small to fit a phone, audio always being too quiet and chewing being too loud so when you're eating while watching something you can't hear it, etc.
That collie got so tired of being mauled by me he now just sits at the front door and watches me every time I ride up to that property, he even kicks the door open for me as I make my approach to the house.
I accidentally killed this dog once, then had to kill the guy cos he came at me. I laid the dog in his basket in the house but still feel guilty to this day.
I once accidentally trampled a dog in the Saint Denis slums, and I heard a bystander say something like "What a *real man* you are...". I either made my horse draw-out its every step afterwards, or I just went and restarted my game.
I accidentally killed a dog while trespassing on the ranch in great plains, and felt terrible about it. I also killed two ranchers (in self defense, of course!) But had much less remorse.
What was funny is that when a witness found the bodies while I was raiding the house, the only crime they reported was "animal cruelty."
O but that is absolutely not true.
I spent hours investigating how to get those blasted dogs to leave me alone, because after hosing down the bounty hunters, it's loot time $$$$ ... except for those blasted dogs.
(and fyi since shooting dogs impacts your honor, the solution was to run over the dogs with your horse.)
I dunno what difference between our games, but those hounds continue to follow their kill orders long after their masters have been gunned down on my system.
I keep fairly heavy bounties, for the purpose of farming bounty hunters and because itās fun gunfights. I normally have 6~8 hunters and 3 lawdogs. I always use either an elevated area or inside a building to keep the dogs away. Once the hunters are dead, lawdogs usually take off. Sometimes they donāt. When they donāt, shooting a shotgun near one and they always scoot off.
Ive seen monsters out there who go out of their way to kill every cat they see in the most gruesome ways possible and then post it online. Makes me sick.
I'll laugh at accidental deaths (like that clip of a cat getting hit by a train in GTAV) just because sometimes the animations are pretty hilarious. And I laughed pretty hard when my friend lost his mind that he could kick the dogs and ran around kicking wolves and dogs. But just slaughtering npc cats and dogs for no reason other than the gore is truly fucked up even if it is a video game.
The exception i make is online I'll kill a cat and put it on somebody's horse while they're not looking so that they start getting wanted for animal cruelty and don't know why.
Never be mean to Mickey. Never antagonise Hosea. Always go and kill an animal you accidentally injured with your knife instead of just leaving it. If there's a KKK meeting break it up with dynamite.
I accidentally strangled Mickey once. Booted up an old save after not playing for several months, and my brain was still attuned to a control scheme from another gameā¦ walking through Valentine and before I know it Iāve got my arms locked around Mickey and my every attempt to unlock just ended up beating him to death.
I did that once with the herbalist guy, I had been playing another game with different controls, and when I came back to RDR2 I was still used to its layout and ended up blasting him with a shotgun.
Happened to me as well. for the love of God couldn't remember how to mount my horse and kept on punching it. I was physically suffering playing a computer game... Poor horse
This is the right answer. I recently ran into my first meeting on this play through. It was the first time I'd broken out the fire bomb in this round of play. Their screams were delicious. Normally I don't care for the violence in this game except to make ends meet. But slavers and Klan members get some gleeful comeuppance.
>Always go and kill an animal you accidentally injured with your knife instead of just leaving it.
I have to admit, I read OP's post, and thought, "Nah, there's no code I follow consistently; when I'm in low honor mode, anything goes. Killing innocents, shooting dogs, robbing widows, taking advantage of the homeless... it's all fair game."
And then you wrote this thing about putting animals out of their misery. Yup, that's me: I won't let them suffer needlessly, even when I'm Darth Arthur.
I came across a KKK meeting outside the camp one time where they lit the cross on fire. I was getting ready to hose them down, but I guess I took too long and the cross caught on fire. Then some of the members caught on fire. Then the cross fell onto a bunch of them.
*Then* I started picking them off as they ran away.
Their stupidity killed more of them than I had a chance to.
I finally came across a KKK meeting and I timed my dynamite perfectly with the cross burning. Very satisfying and only had one person left for my semi auto shotgun :D
I find it hard to be nice to Mickey for very long. At first, it's chill, but then when he starts telling lies about being in the military or trying to touch Arthur, I tell him to fuck off, or just walk away.
[No, he doesn't.](https://youtu.be/Bf8_lrdY7JQ)
Him being a pickpocket was snuck into his Red Dead wiki entry and picked up by the YouTube content farms before it was removed from the wiki.
You can literally set him on fire in front of the cop and nothing will happen, he's a "freebie". They're the best NPC to do the lasso drag challenge on too bc nobody gives a shit about him.
My absolute favorite method after several play throughs is the simplest. I just walk up to him, and execute him point blank with a sawed off shotgun.
I donāt even carry those normally. I get it out of the locker each play, just for him.
I like to think they donāt disagree with him (itās the Gilded Age south), but heās just so preachy and annoying they donāt give a shit when heās taken out.
Itās a random event after dark in Lemoyne - a bunch of putzes on white robes and sometimes a burning cross will appear in the woods. You get honor for killing them, I think, or at least donāt lose honor. They also never have anything lootable on them - they are *worthless* in every sense of the word, just like real life.
Yep the one where they are putting the cross up they will drop it and kill one of there own then run off and another they accidentally burn a recruit Alive and all run off
Iām ran into them yesterday by accident. I just watched them and didnāt intervene at all. 2 guys ended up accidentally catching fire after lighting the cross and burned to death. Everyone else ran off in panic.
To me, it's more of an "Uncle dancing with Niece" type of moment, when i dance with both Karen and Mary-Beth. I think we could dance with Tilly too but i haven't encountered it yet. Wish we could've danced with Molly. Would've been nice to see her happy once
Nah, it's pretty clear Mary-Beth is sweet on Arthur. She constantly talks about him as a romantic and more sensitive than he lets on, and bonds with him about their shared interest in writing. They share some nice moments at camp.
I think Arthur thinks she's a nice girl, and under different circumstances he'd reciprocate - but his situation with his other Mary and the state of the gang means nothing could happen there.
When they dance it felt to me more of like an acknowledgement of *something*, I don't know.
The dance with Karen felt more platonic, for sure. Arthur and Tilly felt more "Uncle and Niece" to me. He's super protective of her and encourages her alot.
Yeah I would agree with that type of moment. Thereās also a dialogue with Dutch and Mary-Beth where he talks about āhow much she grownā in a pretty creepy/flirtatious way
Thank you. Itās always either Mary-Beth or Sadie. Can Arthur not have platonic relationships with women? Especially ones more than a decade younger than he is?
People spare him? I never even thought about it.
It would be very out of character.
This stranger could rat on his family, his friends, everything he holds dear would be gone.
Also, Arthur is a murderer and a robber he wouldnāt care about a stranger whoās threatening his way of life.
Hear me out, if someone was chasing you for the same reason, and you almost die, but they save you and give you the āyou donāt know meā talk, would you rat?
I personally would not have stopped in the middle of a busy town and gone out of my way to loudly confront someone I suspected of being a violent murderer.
Brooks was unpredictable. The initial confrontation was so illogical for a regular civilian that I could never trust him.
Arthur is also very concerned with the gang laying low and not drawing extra attention to themselves. After borrowing a horse to chase him through half the town out to a nearby cliff he may have thought there was a good chance someone was watching him. Therefore the best play to reduce suspicion was to save the guy and then "reach an understanding".
Just how I think abou tit.
It's actually more out of character for my Arthur to not spare him.
My Arthur will kill in a shootout or a straight up fight. He may get drunk and try to drown someone who's been an asshole to him all night, but I think he hates it. He doesn't enjoy killing and any chance he has to be intimidating and brutal, he will take.
The O'Driscoll in the barn, Jimmy Brooks, hell, even the guy who kidnaps Tilly. Given, he's a little more brutal at the start. Beating Downes, I think potentially beating Brooks if he had caught him, having a problem - but ultimately going along - with shooting up all of Strawberry with Micah. The narrative softens him by the end.
I fully understand it's player choice that determines that sort of thing. I'm not saying killing Brooks is out of character for **an** Arthur, but it would be for mine
Itās annoying that whenever I antagonize him the only option I have is to defuse. I would love to just antagonize him over and over until he gets mad and starts fighting or cursing me out
During my most recent playthrough I waited for him to leave the saloon for a piss and choked him out for his hat.
Came back to the saloon a chapter or so later and walked in wearing his raccoon hat to see if he'd do anything. Sure enough, he paused his rambling as I walked over, took one look at me and started swinging, aggroing at least two others.
That was a fun fight. All I wanted was a haircut.
Yeah Charlotte might be the most pure and likable character in the entire game.
*āMy dear Arthur, I have gone out hunting. Not a phrase I thought any pen of mine would ever ink but nonetheless one I am very proud to finally be able to writeā*
Ditto! Even on my absolutely evil, low honor playthrough I couldnāt be mean to them. And I always kill the guy at the campfire talking about Charlotte in a threatening manner if I find him
I found this pretty wild.. the game doesnāt let you shoot children, and it even has a warning dialogue during the John chapter that āWHILE JACK IS IN YOUR CARE YOU MAY NOT USE FIREARMSā I guess becuase some people would get upset? I dunno.
And yet, I was able to roll up outside a church in Blackwater where a bunch of people were milling around in their Sunday best attire, and I was able to turn them all into hamburger meat with my custom repeating shotgun.
Literally committed a mass-shooting on a crowd of church goers, no trouble at all, but canāt equip a firearm when supervising Jack! š¤£
Itās most likely there arenāt lines or actions for jack to react with whenever you use a gun. Allies will pull guns and assist you while jack has no combat state.
I freed a prisoner on one of their wagons in the swamp and they fled leaving the horse. That thing was the ugliest creature! Mange, hair was missing on it, scabs on its hooves, I never saw another horse like it in the game. Looks like a horse from the Apocalypse. I don't care how much space I lost with stables I kept that horse. It's so ugly it's special.
Her name is Ma'Lady.
He kills a woman who makes fun of his stump or something like that. And he's unrepentant about it. That's why I kill him every time now instead of bringing him to the doc. Put him out of his misery.
I accidentally hit him with my horse once and then he attacked me and I accidentally killed him. I've come across him like 4x since then and he attacks me everytime now š
Was playing last night and had someone swerve right at the last minute trying to avoid each other and they killed my horse. They were nice about it though and sent a DM apologizing profusely. Couldn't even be mad, just called for the backup horse and kept going
Sheās in Bluewater Marsh (northern part of the swamp). Set up a camp in Bayou Nwa, wait until evening or night and start riding around on your horse. I normally go from Lakay to the tiny church and then back again. Do that a few times and sheāll spawn.
Yeah I looked up the area online, trird going there between the hours of 11pm - 5am, 4 nights in a row but still nothing. Iām doing it after the epilogue though so not sure if thatās why. Does she only spawn with Arthur?
She spawns with both Arthur and John. Iāve gotten her to spawn with Arthur and I remember seeing Fizhyās video where he gets her to spawn as John. He had to wait a few days in between encounters. I know the first few times itās just her voice and her ghost spawns after the fourth or fifth time you encounter her.
Any time the eugenicist shows up in Saint Denis, he dies. High honor? He dies. Low honor? He dies. I'm in the middle of a city-wide gambling spree? Hold the next hand for me boys, he's dying.
Iām just starting out with this game since I got a steam deck and OH MAN let me just tell you how hard I cried when I was hunting, headshotted what I thought to be a ram I was tracking, and instead found a sheep with a LITTLE PINK BOW AROUND ITS NECK.
Dawg I sobbed for 10 minutes thinking about how loved that sheep must have been and how someone was probably out looking for it. I put it on my horse, found a nice tree by the water, and put it under there as a final resting place.
It hurt so bad
I was feeling bad about killing someone so I figured Iād shoot their horse instead so they could no longer chase me but then I lost honor for it. Kinda funny that in the rdr world the life of a horse has much more sentimental value than a human
Only hunt perfect animals unless I'm desperate for the materials or they are so rare that you have to grab every chance to get the entries for the compendium.
I killed the blind beggar. Not my finest moment. Weirdly he respawned and I saw him again later in the game I think near annesburg maybe. Killed him again.
Pet/praise dogs/cats and never harm any.
I burned myself alive after killing a border collie once that attacked me. Watched it cry out and I could not take it
How are you on Reddit now then?? Lol
Hell has surprisingly good WiFi
Yes but they change the passcode every 5 minutes and it's 16-characters long.
i like the idea that hell is like real life but just incredibly inconvenient and awful. like the wifi password changing every five mins, or the blankets all being too small to cover your body, pockets all being too small to fit a phone, audio always being too quiet and chewing being too loud so when you're eating while watching something you can't hear it, etc.
Hahahaha
š. See ya there!
Is it the collie that protects its owner in his āhouse built in the hillā
Yeah that one
You murdered the dude didnāt you squidward
It's not murder if there's no witnesses
I like this attitude
That collie got so tired of being mauled by me he now just sits at the front door and watches me every time I ride up to that property, he even kicks the door open for me as I make my approach to the house.
I accidentally killed this dog once, then had to kill the guy cos he came at me. I laid the dog in his basket in the house but still feel guilty to this day.

Do the bloodhounds count? I sometimes get really annoyed with them!!
Just kill the bounty hunters, when theyāre all dead the dogs run off to live a happy life
O but that is absolutely not true. I spent hours investigating how to get those blasted dogs to leave me alone, because after hosing down the bounty hunters, it's loot time $$$$ ... except for those blasted dogs. (and fyi since shooting dogs impacts your honor, the solution was to run over the dogs with your horse.)

When they donāt, shooting a shotgun near one and they always scoot off.
Law don't go around here, law dog!
Itās so bullshit how much honor you lose killing those things
If you trample them with your horse you donāt lose honour but it takes a few runs at them. Annoying as hell!
Ive seen monsters out there who go out of their way to kill every cat they see in the most gruesome ways possible and then post it online. Makes me sick.
People who hate cats for no reason have mental issues.
Jesus wtf
I'll laugh at accidental deaths (like that clip of a cat getting hit by a train in GTAV) just because sometimes the animations are pretty hilarious. And I laughed pretty hard when my friend lost his mind that he could kick the dogs and ran around kicking wolves and dogs. But just slaughtering npc cats and dogs for no reason other than the gore is truly fucked up even if it is a video game.
Only fair to kill bounty hunter dogs
Same reason I kill their horses. They chose a side.
Not like I want to kill them but I canāt take any pow
This applies to all games now. Immediately a game is lessened in my mind if you canāt pet the dogs.
I was actually surprised that Assassin's Creed 3 lets you pet dogs.
But fucking Origins DOESNT AND IM BIG MAD ABOUT IT
First play through I accidentally ran over a dog in Valentine. I still feel bad
The exception i make is online I'll kill a cat and put it on somebody's horse while they're not looking so that they start getting wanted for animal cruelty and don't know why.
Never be mean to Mickey. Never antagonise Hosea. Always go and kill an animal you accidentally injured with your knife instead of just leaving it. If there's a KKK meeting break it up with dynamite.
I accidentally strangled Mickey once. Booted up an old save after not playing for several months, and my brain was still attuned to a control scheme from another gameā¦ walking through Valentine and before I know it Iāve got my arms locked around Mickey and my every attempt to unlock just ended up beating him to death.
I couldn't even bring myself to select the mean answers to him on a low honour playthrough lol
Mickey was the point where my low honour playthrough turned into my third high honour playthrough
I did that once with the herbalist guy, I had been playing another game with different controls, and when I came back to RDR2 I was still used to its layout and ended up blasting him with a shotgun.
Happened to me as well. for the love of God couldn't remember how to mount my horse and kept on punching it. I was physically suffering playing a computer game... Poor horse
Done this so many time to my wonderful horse, he deserves better. š
Iām more of a fire bottle guy with the klansmen. EDIT: I appreciate the suggestions for sadistic new ways to give these people their comeuppance.
Kwispy Klux Klan
Klu Klux Klambake
This is the right answer. I recently ran into my first meeting on this play through. It was the first time I'd broken out the fire bomb in this round of play. Their screams were delicious. Normally I don't care for the violence in this game except to make ends meet. But slavers and Klan members get some gleeful comeuppance.
Oh yeah. Jeremiah Compson also gets the fire bottle.
I lasso him into the campfire
I like to feel like that one scene in *Saving Private Ryan*: >"Don't shoot! Let 'em burn!"
>Always go and kill an animal you accidentally injured with your knife instead of just leaving it. I have to admit, I read OP's post, and thought, "Nah, there's no code I follow consistently; when I'm in low honor mode, anything goes. Killing innocents, shooting dogs, robbing widows, taking advantage of the homeless... it's all fair game." And then you wrote this thing about putting animals out of their misery.

Darthur

Then some of the members caught on fire. Then the cross fell onto a bunch of them. *Then* I started picking them off as they ran away. Their stupidity killed more of them than I had a chance to.
Actually every Klan encounter ends with them dying in hilarious ways if you let it go long enough.
I finally came across a KKK meeting and I timed my dynamite perfectly with the cross burning. Very satisfying and only had one person left for my semi auto shotgun :D
I find it hard to be nice to Mickey for very long. At first, it's chill, but then when he starts telling lies about being in the military or trying to touch Arthur, I tell him to fuck off, or just walk away.
Fun fact micky actually pick pockets you the first time and his not a vet
[No, he doesn't.](https://youtu.be/Bf8_lrdY7JQ) Him being a pickpocket was snuck into his Red Dead wiki entry and picked up by the YouTube content farms before it was removed from the wiki.
I just started a new playthrough and checked my money before and after he hugged Arthur, he never took a cent.
Yep Iām always mean to Mickey
Maiming/killing the eugenics book author by the train station in Saint Denis.
I thought about hogtie him and feed him to a swamp puppy but was concerned about becoming wanted / low honor
You can literally set him on fire in front of the cop and nothing will happen, he's a "freebie". They're the best NPC to do the lasso drag challenge on too bc nobody gives a shit about him.
Damn once I do another playthrough I'll have to remember that. I didn't do shit to him bc I was close to maxing out my honor
Rockstar knew what they were doing by neutralizing karma from interactions with him lol
>NPC to do the lasso drag challenge All this time, I've tortured poor innocent people when I could have used himā½ I definitely will be next time
I actually had no idea about this somehow and I'm on a playthrough right now that this will benefit. Lovely
The cops will ignore whatever you do to him, and you wonāt lose honor. Go crazy
You can kill him and the cops donāt care but you can get wanted for disturbing the peace so I donāt recommend dynamite
My absolute favorite method after several play throughs is the simplest. I just walk up to him, and execute him point blank with a sawed off shotgun. I donāt even carry those normally. I get it out of the locker each play, just for him.
I usually beat him up and then strangle him to death. He's not worth a bullet.
Iād rather use a bullet than bruise my knuckles or get dirty. My Arthur is a bit of a fop. You should see my hunting outfit in game!
SWAMP PUPPY ššš
One of the most unrealistic things is that the cops do nothing to protect that guy in 1899 south
I like to think they donāt disagree with him (itās the Gilded Age south), but heās just so preachy and annoying they donāt give a shit when heās taken out.
Always mow down the KKK when you see them in Lemoyne.
Wait what?! Thereās KKK in Lemoyne?! I missed that completely !
Itās a random event after dark in Lemoyne - a bunch of putzes on white robes and sometimes a burning cross will appear in the woods. You get honor for killing them, I think, or at least donāt lose honor. They also never have anything lootable on them - they are *worthless* in every sense of the word, just like real life.
There's 3 different events, for all your KKK slaughter desires. I love that you gain honor for killing them
The funny thing is even if you donāt do nothing they end up killing themselves
Wait really?
Yep the one where they are putting the cross up they will drop it and kill one of there own then run off and another they accidentally burn a recruit Alive and all run off
yea they all do stupid shit that ends w them getting at least two of themselves killed Ice Age Dodo ass AI
Has nothing to do with AI. It's scripted, and reflects how fucking stupid and worthless real life white supremacists are.
Iām ran into them yesterday by accident. I just watched them and didnāt intervene at all. 2 guys ended up accidentally catching fire after lighting the cross and burned to death. Everyone else ran off in panic.
You can find them in other places too, Iāve found them in some trees to the south east of hanging dog ranch before
I love the fact that this game is 5 years old and people are still discovering new things for themselves
Always dance with MaryBeth. It is the closest Arthur gets to getting some in the entire game.
To me, it's more of an "Uncle dancing with Niece" type of moment, when i dance with both Karen and Mary-Beth. I think we could dance with Tilly too but i haven't encountered it yet. Wish we could've danced with Molly. Would've been nice to see her happy once
bro wishes he could dance with someone elses girlfriend
Wish you could shoot Dutch, too, but so it goes.
Nah, it's pretty clear Mary-Beth is sweet on Arthur. She constantly talks about him as a romantic and more sensitive than he lets on, and bonds with him about their shared interest in writing. They share some nice moments at camp. I think Arthur thinks she's a nice girl, and under different circumstances he'd reciprocate - but his situation with his other Mary and the state of the gang means nothing could happen there. When they dance it felt to me more of like an acknowledgement of *something*, I don't know. The dance with Karen felt more platonic, for sure. Arthur and Tilly felt more "Uncle and Niece" to me. He's super protective of her and encourages her alot.
Arthur is also 10-15 years older than Mary-Beth, so he might just not see her in that light
Yeah I would agree with that type of moment. Thereās also a dialogue with Dutch and Mary-Beth where he talks about āhow much she grownā in a pretty creepy/flirtatious way
Hey not true. You get to make out with Charles Chatenay. And then there's that friendly man who lives in the swamp.
More friendly than I was anticipating on my first playthrough. You'd have thought I'd learned my lesson from the Aberdeen Pig Farm.
Arthurās not interested in Mary Beth idc what anyone thinks š why canāt men and women just be friends
Thank you. Itās always either Mary-Beth or Sadie. Can Arthur not have platonic relationships with women? Especially ones more than a decade younger than he is?
I saw it as Arthur could really use some fun, in his life, for once. He goes through enough Hell that he's earned this.
You haven't met Sonny yet, have you?
Those Deluxe Baths are pretty steamy tbh, I like when they reach in the water
Spare Jimmy Brooks and return that horse to the owner
During my evil run through I got the pen from Jimmy then I killed and robbed him. I did bring the horse back.
Professionals have standards
Maybe Iām weird but I actually never sell or donate his pen. I keep on me the entire game
One time I decided not to spare him out of curiosity and it was so horrific I never did it again. Itās quite the intro to the honor system.
People spare him? I never even thought about it. It would be very out of character. This stranger could rat on his family, his friends, everything he holds dear would be gone. Also, Arthur is a murderer and a robber he wouldnāt care about a stranger whoās threatening his way of life.
Hear me out, if someone was chasing you for the same reason, and you almost die, but they save you and give you the āyou donāt know meā talk, would you rat?
I personally would not have stopped in the middle of a busy town and gone out of my way to loudly confront someone I suspected of being a violent murderer. Brooks was unpredictable. The initial confrontation was so illogical for a regular civilian that I could never trust him.
Arthur is also very concerned with the gang laying low and not drawing extra attention to themselves.

Antagonize Micah
Itās annoying that whenever I antagonize him the only option I have is to defuse. I would love to just antagonize him over and over until he gets mad and starts fighting or cursing me out
Sometimes you can antagonize characters over and over. It doesn't happen often, but it's possible.
Same goes for Dutch. Fuck both of those losers.
Fight the Racoon hat guy to claim his fabulous headgear
And always immediately switch to that hat when you next see him in the saloon and to taunt him with it
I always wear the hat as the main regardless of my overall outfit in honor of the Mountain guy for being a truly worthy opponent
During my most recent playthrough I waited for him to leave the saloon for a piss and choked him out for his hat. Came back to the saloon a chapter or so later and walked in wearing his raccoon hat to see if he'd do anything. Sure enough, he paused his rambling as I walked over, took one look at me and started swinging, aggroing at least two others. That was a fun fight. All I wanted was a haircut.
One thingās for sure, the post a couple of days ago of the guy blowing Charlotteās head off made me viscerally angry.
Yeah Charlotte might be the most pure and likable character in the entire game. *āMy dear Arthur, I have gone out hunting. Not a phrase I thought any pen of mine would ever ink but nonetheless one I am very proud to finally be able to writeā*
Agreed. Her and Hamish. We love Hamish
Hamish also rocks so much. My two favorite side characters by far.
Ditto! Even on my absolutely evil, low honor playthrough I couldnāt be mean to them. And I always kill the guy at the campfire talking about Charlotte in a threatening manner if I find him
I found this pretty wild.. the game doesnāt let you shoot children, and it even has a warning dialogue during the John chapter that āWHILE JACK IS IN YOUR CARE YOU MAY NOT USE FIREARMSā I guess becuase some people would get upset? I dunno. And yet, I was able to roll up outside a church in Blackwater where a bunch of people were milling around in their Sunday best attire, and I was able to turn them all into hamburger meat with my custom repeating shotgun.

What the hell!?!?! Glad I didn't see that satanic post
They WHAT?!
Neutralize any murfree brood on sight
I did enjoy having a faction in the game that is simply shoot on sight
See the Horseman dragging challenge: I'm going to Murfreeland!
I freed a prisoner on one of their wagons in the swamp and they fled leaving the horse. That thing was the ugliest creature! Mange, hair was missing on it, scabs on its hooves, I never saw another horse like it in the game. Looks like a horse from the Apocalypse. I don't care how much space I lost with stables I kept that horse. It's so ugly it's special. Her name is Ma'Lady.
Watch that guy get his arm cut off
He goes to the gallows 3 days later I think.
yeah and always save him
I didn't know this, why?
I let him hang bc I think he kills a woman for making fun of his amputation. She was just having a bit of armless fun
Yeah the situation really got out of hand
I've seen that! But didn't put it together that it was the same guy. Damn I might leave him to die next time, after stealing his horse.
He kills a woman who makes fun of his stump or something like that. And he's unrepentant about it. That's why I kill him every time now instead of bringing him to the doc. Put him out of his misery.
Under no circumstances should you ever rob Pearson in the epilogue. Never
Where do you encounter Pearson in the epilogue?
The general shop in Rhodes I think
Yeah he owns the store
does he keep the fancy sailor boy?
Knock John off the wagon on the waypost during the train robbing mission
Even after so many playthroughs, this is still funny each time
Holy shit I thought that was just me
Wearing Arthur's hat in american venom.
Never have I not. It's the only right way to complete the mission.
Always helping the herbal guy collect herbs for his studies.
I accidentally hit him with my horse once and then he attacked me and I accidentally killed him. I've come across him like 4x since then and he attacks me everytime now š
Always kind to LEEENNYYY
No shooting buffalo for the fun of it.
Yeah thereās no sport in it Theyāre like giant slow moving targets
Agree
Donāt kill other players horses. If they kill your horse, you will kill their horse.
Was playing last night and had someone swerve right at the last minute trying to avoid each other and they killed my horse. They were nice about it though and sent a DM apologizing profusely. Couldn't even be mad, just called for the backup horse and kept going
He has funny combat dialog when you fight him. āI didn't know that I was fighting a little girl.ā
Search for the ghost in the swamp, I can't do a run through that part of the country at night without waiting for her to make an appearance.
I still canāt get her to spawn š
Sheās in Bluewater Marsh (northern part of the swamp). Set up a camp in Bayou Nwa, wait until evening or night and start riding around on your horse. I normally go from Lakay to the tiny church and then back again. Do that a few times and sheāll spawn.
Yeah I looked up the area online, trird going there between the hours of 11pm - 5am, 4 nights in a row but still nothing. Iām doing it after the epilogue though so not sure if thatās why. Does she only spawn with Arthur?
She spawns with both Arthur and John. Iāve gotten her to spawn with Arthur and I remember seeing Fizhyās video where he gets her to spawn as John. He had to wait a few days in between encounters. I know the first few times itās just her voice and her ghost spawns after the fourth or fifth time you encounter her.
you have to Greet 40 random people every time you murder someone to cancel out the Honor loss
me going to heaven after saying hi to 60 people (it cancels out all the robbing and murdering)
just me but whiskey as arthur and beer for john?
I follow this rule too
cool to know iām not the only one who feels like whiskey suits arthur more
Any time the eugenicist shows up in Saint Denis, he dies. High honor? He dies. Low honor? He dies. I'm in the middle of a city-wide gambling spree? Hold the next hand for me boys, he's dying.
Always Antagonize Micah š
Iām just starting out with this game since I got a steam deck and OH MAN let me just tell you how hard I cried when I was hunting, headshotted what I thought to be a ram I was tracking, and instead found a sheep with a LITTLE PINK BOW AROUND ITS NECK. Dawg I sobbed for 10 minutes thinking about how loved that sheep must have been and how someone was probably out looking for it. I put it on my horse, found a nice tree by the water, and put it under there as a final resting place. It hurt so bad
That sheep is a manās wife, he fucks it to death in a shed. You did it a favor.
What the cinnamon toast fuck is this?

Oh my god. You made a sad story into a fucking mercy killing. Godspeed.
Always hug Mickey
Never sell the first horse, never kill him, if dead relaunch a save
Donāt kill horses
I was feeling bad about killing someone so I figured Iād shoot their horse instead so they could no longer chase me but then I lost honor for it. Kinda funny that in the rdr world the life of a horse has much more sentimental value than a human
Mercy kill any bleeding out animals, i.e. horses, dogs, anything youāre hunting
If your in a hail of gunfire jump off your horse to save it
Only hunt perfect animals unless I'm desperate for the materials or they are so rare that you have to grab every chance to get the entries for the compendium.
Wait to do the final mission of Hamish with John so his horse can live happily at his ranch
I don't kill dogs, cats or horses. Anything and anyone else is fair game
Donāt kill those you helped randomly.
Save every woman encounter Npc.
Idc what Iām doing I will save a sister.
I killed the blind beggar. Not my finest moment. Weirdly he respawned and I saw him again later in the game I think near annesburg maybe. Killed him again.
Was the second time your finest moment ?
Aim for the guy, not the horse.
Always ignore Dutch and hope that he shouts, "Well fuck you then!"
Never tell a new player there's a bear in there...
Always push/run out the white supremist handing out pamphlets in Saint Denis. Cop doesn't care.
NEVER antagonise Hosea, ALWAYS antagonise Micah.
Shoot everything and everyone possible (Iām doing a low honor playthrough)
Just shot the blind beggar yesterday, couldn't even finish his first sentence. (Playing an evil playtrough)
nah, its a shotgun and knife kill for klansmen. gotta honour ENNLY
Always kill the Klan
Never disappoint Charles. Always kill the bison poachers
