I had the same problem mentioned to just upthread, looking for boars, using bait, standing right on the little boar icon on the map, but only wolves show up. Still haven't seen a boar, but I'll keep trying!

Okay, this is something VERY simple that I'm sure all of you already noticed, but I just now found out about it so I'll share it in case there's another ignorant cowboy like me:
To speed up the skinning process simply walk your horse over the corpse to be skinned. This will block the animation and instantly give you the results of the animal harvesting. When faced with multiple targets, and the player wishes to make a quick getaway, this can literally be a life saver.

I've been getting up and down off the horse everytime, listening to John Marston say "ooooh...this is DIRTY"

This Saturday night, May 29th at 12 AM Eastern and 9 PM Pacific, FOX will be exclusively airing an original short film made from Red Dead Redemption.
The 30 minute short film, created and directed by John Hillcoat (the director of The Proposition and The Road), chronicles a slice-in-time of protagonist John Marston as he tracks down his former fellow outlaw and friend, Bill Williamson. Along the way, Marston encounters many of Red Dead Redemption's eclectic cast of dreamers, misfits and liars.
Using the world of Red Dead Redemption as a virtual film studio and created entirely with in-game assets and technology, Hillcoat re-imagines Marston’s pursuit of justice and salvation.

had a bug yesterday: playing poker in armadillo, the other players turned all blocky and pixely for a few rounds. their hands looked like digitized lobster claws. eventually they changed back.

I tried a version of that where I hogtied a guy hunting deer and poured some bait on his head. The animals didn't eat him :(

when you get to the right spot you'll get a prompt ("investigate?" maybe). if you haven't gotten that, you aren't in the right spot yet.

ah, there's the issue. I thought I needed to buy a shovel or something.
My main issue with this game is: riding along minding my own business, "help save my baby" from the side of the road, i pull off my horse and before I know what's up someone is shooting at me, I return fire, kill some old lady and now the game is shaking its head at me with a what were you thinking attitude. then, cougar attack.
Not even sure if that's an issue, but it's constant. Just finished my first few lines of plot and a few missions (american appetites just got stupid by the end); on my way to figure out how to do the trojan horse thing.

I just met my first cougar :O

dudes you gotta go into dead eye on the tougher animals

dead eye doesn't help when they drag you down from behind and then you dont get a chance to get up

Im at the hunting mission where I need to kill two cougars with my bare hands and I cant seem to find any who want to kill me =\

my insatiable desire to lasso peeps and drag them down the railroad tracks at high horse speed is making me question my moral underpinnings.

crazy how no matter how many times i get caught cheating at poker, people are still willing to play against me after the duel.

Should be on this from about 8/9pm GMT/BST if anyone wants to posse up (am on 360). Gamertag Jimdoo if you don't already have me.

yeah cheating at poker for me is a surefire way to lose 50 bucks no matter what. The one time I was successful at it I managed to sneak a 7 of clubs into my hand. Good job.

how is the multiplayer anyhow? ive still not renewed my live gold, and i think i should for this and gta4

It has a few cool aspects but ultimately people who play GTA deathmatch are the lowest scum in the multiplayer universe.

So the horse you get at the end of Bonnie's quest chain, is that a "fast" horse or a normal horse? (Should I be looking for an upgrade?)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 26 May 2010 20:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Not to toot my own horn, but that mix I made is awesome to play with this game.
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 26 May 2010 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link
I was wondering the same thing, Mordy. Reeeeally wish there was a way to look up information for your horse.

went back to the boar spot today and was attacked by ten or eleven of them. really weird. then two cougars immediately ran up to help me get the next hunting level.
― jeff, Thursday, 27 May 2010 07:32 (fourteen years ago) link
They probably smelled the boar blood.

Ended up doing about 5 hours of free roam with 3 friends last night and it was AMAZING. It's true that public games are full of nobbers, but co-opping on gang hideouts with a party is so much fun.
