Not to freak you out or anything, but it plays into the story ending somewhat.

This game is awesome.

I'll admit that I was annoyed af with some of the realism at first but now that I've put a handful of hours in I'm finding it to be pretty simple to keep track of my cores, clothing changes, etc.

The drunken bender with Lenny was fucking hilarious, I'm liking the story thus far, the voice acting is top notch, and there is so. much. to do. in. this. game!

Some of these challenges are a fucking bitch.

I just got to the master hunter challenge where you have to kill 5 cougars with a bow. First of all, I've probably put 30 hours into this game and I've seen 2 cougars the whole time. Secondly, those fuckers are fierce. I'm probably going to have to hunt them with dynamite arrows or something.

I've been trying to play this game clean by not looking anything up online in a walk through, but I've broken down quite a few times. It's particularly difficult finding the legendary animal locations. I was looking at that shoddy ass map I was given and it just is not very accurate. After I spent like 30 minutes riding around a fucking barren winter wasteland and found myself at the top of a mountain, I broke down and looked for the actual location of the legendary white bison and it was like a 5 minute horse ride from me the entire time.

Ive noticed occasionally I'll ride through an area trying to find an animal, check the game map to see which location would be a good place to check, only to find the legendary animal is now marked on my map.. but I never found any clues or anything like that. So it's a bit weird.

I also cheated and searched where to find a better horse because I need it for these master horseman challenges. All I can find in the wild are shitty ass Kentucky Saddlers and Tennessee whatever-the-fucks.

That wild horse in the snowy north is dope.

This. Plus it’s in the same area as the legendary buffalo, I believe.

That buffalo was a bitch to spawn.

Ok, fuck playing clean. This game is far too massive.

I found this sweet interactive map with all the goodies:

I've been using it to find the dinosaur bones and rock carvings.. some of those things, man. I'd spend 1000 hours in this game and not even find half of them naturally.

What are the best handguns in the game?

I've gotten all of the pistols from the gunslingers as well as a few others. I actually just got the Mauser from Bronte and got that shit gold plated on some James Bond shit.

I've honestly found that the Cattleman Revolver fully upgraded is my strongest handgun and that's kind of lame. Of course I pimped my shit out a bit but I want an epic pistol I can't create myself.

Volcanic Pistols are the best hand guns in the game. Combo them with express rounds.
[Reply]

You can use any gun you want. Deadeye makes it all meaningless since it's so easy to get headshots.

Welp, I finished the main storyline. What a fucking bummer. Probably an even worse feeling than the end of the first Red Dead.

Arthur Morgan easily became one of my favorite fictional characters.. wish we had more time with him.

Yeah, the first time I played, I thought that was just depressing as hell. At the time I had no clue that I was even close to the end of the main storyline, since it still said something like 80% complete overall story. Arthur deserved better. LOL. There's a lot more stuff in the epilogue. But the start will piss you off. It did for me at least.
