Has anyone been able to land a legendary fish?? I couldn't reel it in kept taking the line out. When I pushed the right stick down to stop it from doing that, it always snapped. 

did you pick up the stranger mission to do the legendary fish?  when you catch them you're supposed to mail them to the collector.  if you hadn't picked up the mission yet you won't be able to catch a legendary fish

Yes I saw that guy. Just have not been able to successfully land one without the line breaking

The Moonshiner mission annoyed me. Supposedly they are "Degenerate tax evaders"??? WTF to me they are heroes two ways. First for doing community service making moonshine and second for figuring out not having to hand your cash over to the sanctioned mob that's the government. I wanted to turn on my own guys but I don't think the game would let me do that.

I crafted a net from my licorice whip and got him.  I also caught this talking yellow rectangular thing with big eyes and an annoying laugh.

I have them all. Special swamp, river, and lake lures. I am getting down how to reel the big fish in but have yet to get a "Legendary Fish" Got one last night over 20lbs (Pike) but still not Legendary.

so...in saint denis, i bought a book from a random in the street for 50 bucks.  it was a how to get rich book, but i think i got screwed.  i was hoping it would open up a mission or provide some sort of benefit, but so far nothing.  anyone find this d-bag?

I've heard him barking in the distance but haven't interacted.

 

Maybe I'll Rob him next time

I bought that book too and nothing happened for a while.  I went looking for a while and found the guy.  He ran as soon as he saw me.  I lassoed him with licorice whip and I think this made him unable to lie.  You have to peel back the spine of the book.  In it there are magic beans that grow real fast.  

 

Climb the plant into the sky but be prepared because there is a villain up there.  You can raid his castle for gold so getting rich is true.  You can kill the villain.  Get his dog to poop and start running around.  He will chase you and slip and fall in the poop.  He conks his head and is out cold.  Raid the gold but don't set it down on the cloud.  It falls right through.  I killed like 5 people below.  The dude will wake up.  Let him chase you for a while until he contracts hookworm from the dog poop.  He'll die from it eventually but you have to run around for 3 days straight.

Same. Nothing has happened as of yet and I'm nearing the end of the story.

don't worry about money until the epilogue.  in fact, hold onto as many valuables (watches, jewelry, etc) as you can in your satchel.  live the american dream and buy all the guns you can afford.  and treat yourself to some nice clothes.  buy all the outfits you have money for

 

trust me on this one

I think the online version starts rolling out today to those who purchased the Ultimate version. Tomorrow for the people who had it first day and all others Thursday I believe.

[mrags]

I’m tempted to not play online at all until I finish the story mode. 

[/dev/null]

Curious what everyone has in their stables, types and if you gave them a name.  I have three rank four horses at the moment

 

Buell:

Probably the most balanced horse I've encountered.  Decent health, stamina, speed, and acceleration.  I don't think Buell ever ran into a tree or tripped over a boulder, and doesn't seem to get as spooked by nearby predators.  And then there's his back story which makes him a keeper

 

Tiger:

Tiger Striped Mustang.  A rare wild mustang, nowhere near as good stats as the White Arabian but still a very good horse.  Ran into her while hunting the legendary pronghorn.  Tiger's had a few trips but I don't think she's run smack into a tree

 

Slumlord:

Rose Grey Arabian.  The best statistical horse in the game.  The White Arabian is the best wild horse in the game but the Rose Grey has better speed and acceleration (7/7 vs 6/6).  The Arabians (Black, White, and Rose Grey) all have a reputation for running into trees and tripping over stuff, which I can confirm .  There are two ways to get the Rose Grey, either buy it in Blackwater ($1,000ish) or steal one .  There are a few spawn points in towns where the horse breeds are random, usually the low end Kentucky Saddlers or Morgans.  But every once in a while they'll spawn a higher end breed.  So over the weekend I'm riding past one of these spots, check out the horses, and score!  I didn't even have to break him like a wild horse and no witnesses so no bounty either.  The particular spot was in the northern Saint Denis outskirts/slums, hence the name Slumlord

 

I haven't spent much time in the Grizzlies yet, but when I do I'll try to track down the White Arabian to fill my stable

[shrader]

I’m just pissed that they don’t allow enough characters for the horse names. I had to leave mine at “Sarah Jessica P”.

I got the horse with the Ultimate Edition. Supposed to be the best and fastest. No problems with her to this point.

The pre-order horse is an above average horse but nowhere near the best.  And Pay-To-Win is not as much fun as breaking a wild horse (like my Tiger Mustang), stealing a horse (Slumlord) or completion of a mission (Buell)

There’s 2 different pre order horses. I have yet to see any horse with stats as good as mine

I can't find the stats on the pre-order horse in this chart:

https://rankedboost.com/red-dead-redemption-2/horse-saddle/

 

But the following video looks like they about 4 health, 4 stamina, 7 speed, and 5 acceleration.  (7/7/10/8 at level 4).  Very nice stats but you can find similar or better in game

 

 

The horse I'm riding now is base 7/7/6/6.  At level 4 it's 10/10/9/9. 

 

And there's a Stranger mission outside Rhodes where a woman on a horse challenges you to a race.  If you win the race legitimately (no shortcuts or murder) your horse gets +1 speed

 

A 10/10/10/9 horse is awesome except when the thing keeps running into trees and boulders

Nothing like exploring the Southwest part of the map and your horse trips over a boulder sending you flying over the edge of a canyon

I've been in wolf country a bit more often lately and nothing is more annoying than the way the camera spins a bit as the horse freaks out.

RDO has a story/tutorial that picks up after Epilogue II

Im holding off on RDO until the bugs are worked out. 

 

But from what I've read it starts on a part of the map you haven't traveled to yet, references a main story line you haven't experienced yet, and ends in Blackwater.

[Rockpile233]

Would it have blew the budget to have more than one animation after winning a poker hand? 

 

Insignificant observation aside, I’ve spent so much time wandering/hunting that I’m only in chapter 3. I’m definitely holding off with online play until I get my fill of the story mode.

   I haven't played in a week or so, but plan on firing it up today. I'm stll stuck in Chapter 2 where you have to get Dutch out  of Valentiine. Having trouble with the shootout. I too think I'll wait a while to try online mode. 

[mrags]

I crumbled and created an online char. Already hate what he looks like. Can’t wait to change that. 

 

Still gonna play the story mode but wanted to get moving 

[Buffalo716]

Played 1 online match of make it count which is the take royale mode...

 

it was throwing knives and butcher knives only... last one standing is winner

 

I got down to the final 2... turn around and the guy is running right at me knife in hand... he tackles me,,, i punch him off me before he stabs me in the chest

 

we square off in a old fashion knife fight...

 

i dodge him and stab him in the neck! Winner winner!

[BillsFan4]

Finally installed my copy (85 GB. Holy ****!). 

 

I am in chapter 2. There was definitely a bit of a learning curve at first. They’ve added a lot of new things since RDR1. 

 

So far I’m loving it.

I have 1 horse named Azel.....hes about 3/4 the height of any other horses and his stats aren't that great but it seems to do pretty well. Is there any benefits of having a real good horse as opposed to a medium horse?

Better stamina and less prone to bucking when attacked by wild animals 

 

a bit faster too
