Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 2018)

The one where you take the wagon with uncle and three women in the back into Valentine. It's right at the beginning of Chapter 2.

I waited to do that one so hopefully I’m good. There’s a lot of people in camp so hard to keep up with it all.

Ya, I honestly wouldn't have even noticed until I saw it posted. If it was just them not being there I wouldn't care. Apparently you miss out on some key missions though.

Damn, that was the first thing I did. RIP.

If I miss out on a few missions here and there it won’t kill me, but I’m looking at the mission list and not seeing any I’ve missed yet. The fishing one will be the big test I guess and hopefully that shows up after my John mission.

I feel like this is a game where it's better to do the missions instead of constantly exploring. I think they designed it in such a way. Missions seem to yield the most money, and looting and robbing isn't easy if you don't want to get caught. I think they designed it to have a lot of witnesses around, and to make looting very slow.

It's almost like, stop trying to loot everything in the world and play the damn game! I like it.

Yeah a lot of the complaints I hear from games media people sounds like they’re trying to “make their own story” by exploring and ignoring the story but I think it’s very obvious Rockstar wants you to focus on the main story. That is what I am doing, and I am still stopping every single time I see a random event or stranger.

Also you aren’t supposed to know everyone in camp right away. The missions are designed to introduce you to them.

I would recommend restarting and follow the workaround. There’s some key story development with these characters in chapter two. One of them is huge.

fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Nothing would kill my buzz more than having to restart and re-do everything. If it's so important, I really hope Rockstar can figure out a way to force these things later into the game with a patch for the people who missed out on them.

I have been spending most of my time hunting and doing side missions. I just recently started to get through the story missions and feel like I've already played a ton of the game. I've probably spent a solid 12-15 hours hunting. Now that I've got my fishing rod I'll probably be sinking even more time into the wilderness, lol.

 

[Super Cake]

Yeah, I probably hit the glitch as well and I am way to far in the game to restart. Well I mean I only at about 20%, but it I just dont want to do everything all over again.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Well, my RDR2 addiction is almost complete... I just got my girlfriend to order me a hand-made leather cowboy hat online for my birthday this weekend... lol

So if we got the fishing mission we're all good?

 

[S E P H]

So if we got the fishing mission we're all good?

I believe so since the mission is pretty much just fishing with Jack and [redacted].

 

[HoseEmDown]

So if we got the fishing mission we're all good?

Yeah I did that with Jack and had one with Sadie too.

Speaking of fishing what's the biggest fish you've caicauand where? Just caught a 15 pound channel catfish by the bait shop. Not sure if it's one I can get mounted yet or what to do with it since I had to stow it not just put it in my satchel.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I see that little kid and Abigail around camp now so hopefully I’m good.

I can't do that 3hr tutorial again...i just can't.

On another note, did the Gas wagon mission, and dropped off the wagon.

Now I am horse-less...he's well out of whistling range. Do I have to walk back to my horse? Is there another way to travel!? I haven't unlocked fast travel yet.

 

[Pilky01]

I’m kind of looking forward to replaying chapter 1 at some point. One, to understand the characters and set up better, and two because I kinda like flying through tutorial missions as fast aa possible because you already know what to do.

Like Spider-Mans into felt a lot longer the first time because when I went back a second time if felt like it was over in a matter of seconds.

 

[Super Cake]

Well i also did that fishing mission with Jack, but i don't see him or Abigail walking around the camp.

If you go into a stable you can teleport the horse to you, or if you upgrade the horse post thing in camp (~$300) you can recall it there at any time.
Also, the stage coach and train stations are basically fast travel stations that you have to pay for.

As a side note, I found out today that a short press up on the D-pad is to call your horse to you, and a long press/whistle tells your horse to follow you. So if you get on another horse/wagon you can tell your horse to follow. You can take advantage of this to carry two carcasses at once.

This reddit post has a ton of tips which I didn't know about

 

[S E P H]

Guys, I did it, I got the White Arabian horse. Eff yeah!

 

[Harbinger]

I don't know about anyone else, but I cannot for the life of me stand Arthur's satchel and crooked gunbelt. My ocd dislikes both of those things.

 

[God King Fudge]

Will the horse only auto follow the path in cinematic mode?

Spoiler

Also, I keep reading that you unlock the fence from a mission from Hosea after you do the mission with Kieren early in chapter 2, but I've finished that one and Hosea doesn't have any missions for me after the bear hunt. Anyone know how far along you have to be?

Thanks. I'll check if there's a stage coach station nearby.

I didn't know if the horse would keep up when I was getting out of town with the stolen wagon.

Yeaaah I basically ended up running all the way back to camp grabbing a stray horse and heading back to town there. I have learned since though that if you hold down the button to call your horse it will follow you.

FML, I robbed the back of the doctor's store in Valentine and got that sweet revolver. Well, I think I must have lost it when I played the last mission of Chapter II by accidentally switching the weapons because I have two worn-out Cattle Revolvers and one good-conditioned Cattle Revolver.

Any chance I can get it back somehow?

 

[Pilky01]

So I was riding at night through the wooded areas in the east near the trading post when I heard some guy hacking up a lung and crying about how sick he is. He may have even said he had small pox, I can’t renember. Anyway I go to check it out and I see a fire at a campground but there is nobody there. Whoever is calling is inside of the closed tent. Anyway I walk up beside the tent and draw my gun because this is fishy as f***. The prompt comes up to check on the person and ask if they’re okay and as soon as I do the old bastard jumps out of the tent with a shotgun screaming “I can’t believe you were stupid enough to fall for that!” Of course I wasn’t stupid enough. I already had my gun drawn and I shot him square between the eyes.

Huh looks like i missed the fishing misson like many other people but john Abigail and jack are still all at camp thus far. I only have one more mission on the map but i have a 280$ bounty in that territory so i want to pay it off first. Can i still go fishing? Or am i hooped now as i dont have a fishing rod?
