Red Dead Redemption 2

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Thanks. Now that I'm reading the HELP portions I'm able to figure this all out.

By the way, every time that I enter camp there are three icons in the top right corner of the screen, and for me they are all red. I feel like that means depleted resources for the camp (like money, food, etc.) but I'm not sure. I'm trying to look it up and figure out exactly how to take care of those things, but that is not established anywhere in said HELP menu. Anyone happen to know what those are for?

It took me a minute to figure those out too. I always hunt deer for the meat so we were always good there. The others, which are medical, and ammunition, I think, can be purchased at the ledger. It's right next to the donation box. Look through the ledger and buy what the camp needs. Those icons will go from red to white.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

Was collecting a debt and in doing so this guy starts a fight with me and I take care of him. Then I have to loot him in order to collect the money but apparently someone thought that I was stealing and I got the law on me. Was able to hide from them but have a $10 bounty on me now. While hiding from the law I came across an encounter that I thought was a little weird. Will put it in spoilers just in case someone doesn’t want it spoiled.

Spoiler

came across a guy sitting out on his porch and welcomed me into his home to eat. I went inside and he told me to go check on the woman and tell her to hurry up. I did that then came back down and sat down at the table. She came down and served dinner and when they were talking I’m pretty sure they said they were brother and sister an she poured me a drink and it felt like they were trying to get me drunk. So instead of seeing what would happen I get up and leave.

You think that’s weird?

Spoiler

i drank and kept drinking then woke up robbed and in the rain in some field in the fetal position. I ended up going back to that house and killed them both and got my money back then some

This game is incredible. Dude, you had me laughing hard on that one.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

The subtle details of the world really flesh out even small storylines you thought were over and permanently "off the stage" so to speak. In the first quest you do for Strauss

Spoiler

The part with Thomas Downs, I beat him up before the scene where his wife and son come out to plead with you that he's sick, and they have nothing, he's just trying to do his best working his crappy farm. So I left and felt pretty bad, but thought that's the last I'd hear about him in the game.

Quite some time later after traversing much of the map, and having all sorts of adventures, I was back in Valentine and just shopping at the General Store, and the shopkeeper offhandedly mentioned Thomas Downes had died, and he'd been sick for a while. That really made me understand kind of what the gang and Arthur are, despite their veneer of righteousness, or even that their worldview is simply a grey one.

Yeah I surprise myself sometimes with how creatively bad I can be in these open world games, glad I'm not compelled to do stuff like that for real or i would no doubt already be in prison lol

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

So I may have done one mission since starting Chapter 2, and I'm just slowing down and trying to immerse myself in the world and figure out what is where, etc. Yet every time I save it seems to bump up my percentage a lot. It says that I am 18.6% done with the game. Sure, I kill a new animal every now and then and pick a new herb, but there is no possible way that I'm actually 1/5 done with this game having only done like eight missions lol.

I wonder how many of my students are getting and playing this game, and what they think of it. I bet a lot would call it slow and boring. This is not a game that I'm sitting around trying to "beat." I'm just trying to live in it for a long time. I am in no rush going anywhere, ever.

I've been wondering the same thing about how the generational divide will view this game. For me, this is the kind of game I was fantasizing might be possible in the far off future when I was wandering around worlds like Ultima and Might and Magic.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

yeah so it means gthey need food ammo or medical supplies, since we are in charge of ammo, you just go to the ledger by the money box and upgrade ammo, and your good there, or hunt a deer to bring in food.

You are right. They are food, meds, ammo. You can start donating carcasses ant meat cuts almost immediately I believe. You can’t do anything for the other two until you progress the story a bit.

It took me a minute to figure those out too. I always hunt deer for the meat so we were always good there. The others, which are medical, and ammunition, I think, can be purchased at the ledger.

Thanks, but I'm not seeing this ledger you're all talking about. I've walked all around the tent and it's just not there.

Maybe I haven't gone far enough in the game mission-wise. After all, I accidentally just walked into a mission that was partly a tutorial on how I can talk to other people, even though I've been doing that forever so far.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I came upon that storyline with the fallen horse. But I had just finished killing the bear and I think because of the hide on the horse I couldn't take the woman home.

She kept saying she couldn't fit and my only option was to take back my offer.

Sorry but I wasn't giving up all that expensive fur to help her out. This is the late 1800s. Chivalry's dead and ain't coming back till circa 2015.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

I’ll admit, last night I was thinking to myself this game isn't for me. It's too slow paced, I'm fighting the controls somewhat, and I'm just getting more and more overwhelmed with things to do. Well, today I played some more and just relaxed instead of trying to rush through the game, and enjoyed it much much more. I'm going along with the story mode, but taking my time to stop and help others along the way, or beat/kill if need be. It's just an unbeliveable open world that feels alive and is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm quite sure I won't complete this game for many months, but that's ok. I'm loving being lost in the country and stumbling upon a desserted house, or stopping to talk to a couple men enjoying a camp fire. Then again, they weren't very happy I stopped and threatened me so I shot them dead and looted all their belongings.

I'm still coming to grips with having to keep yourself fed, bathing, taking care of your horse, etc. Some of these jobs feel monotonous, but add to the immersion of the game. I fully understand the crticisms of this seemingly cowboy life simulator, and I almost gave up too quickly. If you approach this game differently than any open world game before this, I think you'll appreciate it that much more.

Yeah I learned this lesson a few years ago when I first started playing Massive Open World RPGs. Never attempt to rush through them, you will become frustrated. Now I take my time, most RPGs are repetitive especially with side quest, I usually get burned out at around 60 hours or so, that's when I stop playing the game for months maybe even a year, then at some point I get back playing it and beating the game. Heck I still haven't beat The Witcher 3 after 70+ hours, I plan on beating it before The Witcher 4 comes out, lol.

Yeah, I think it unlocks after a mission. Not sure which one though.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2

How the hell am I supposed to...

Spoiler

Get to Javier in Blackwater? The Wanted Level is Dead or Alive, am I just supposed to find a way over to him?

EDIT: Never mind. Had to be sneaky.

I think after you collect the 3 debts you can access it

It sits right next to the treasure box on a barrel, not in a tent





How are you guys getting money? I've had some terrible luck, accidentally removed some items in front of everyone in Valentine and had a bounty

Went back to pay it and accidentally got in a fight because i couldnt stop the horse and he ran into someone so the post office was locked

Spent the money on weapons because i ran out of ammo and now trying to get it all back


I was being nice, then i just got tired of everybody coming at me so i started shooting people on the road, killing snitches who told on me and now i feel like anybody out in the middle of nowhere with no witnesses who might have money is a goner

I did find another post office but i didnt have the money to pay off the bounty so i need to collect more.. any ideas?
