Some of the attention to details are incredible. Taken a lot of time away from the game so have gone back and doing every last thing I can. I’ve managed to craft all of the satchels, crafted a lot of the trinkets and talismans and am slowly but surely working my way through the camp upgrades. Barely started Chapter Three too. I completely get the occasional criticism I hear about the game being ‘too realistic’ but given the irl chaos of the past few months, I’m finding in almost therapeutic being as meticulous as possible in-game. With the benefit of hindsight I'd have probably held off playing until the lockdown. It would be the perfect game for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how raging you are when you start collecting parts for the Taxidermist. A LOT of birds and by f**k it will drive you nuts if you stick with it. It took me hours. It also got to me that much that whenever a bird quickly flew in front of me in real life I would be like "ah shit that might have been a Robin!". You'll think that's bullshit but if you do those tasks you'll soon know what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it? I think the only game I've used a cheat in since PS2 days is GTA just to quickly get guns. I never used to use the lower wanted level because you could outrun them in the new ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheats are still a thing, I think they’ve just died down due to using them doesn’t allow you to actually progress within the game which isn’t a bad thing I suppose. I used one to get a better horse since a horse’s stamina can go down very quickly making it very tedious to get to places sometimes.

Johnstoun Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I've started again since it's on xbox gamepass. Spent an hour trying to catch a thoroughbred as I'd lost all ability to break a horse. May have fucked the 100% attempt already by accidentally beating then shooting to death the Mexican shooting contest guy... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty certain like some other notable NPCs (Gavin's mate, and the eugenics guy) he's immortal and will re appear in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, in my first playthrough I shot the trapper square in the chest instead of selling him a pelt and he ran away. He turned up later complete with grotesque wound and held no grudges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I can't complete my compendium now and I can't 100% due to the "vampire" killing me.

I'm going to try to do as many activities as possible before you do the mission where you catch TB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
