RIPPA 34,695 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 The upside is that you get a bonus to stamina if you are underweight (though the damage you can take is less) Of course the opposite is true if you are the other way around. I am always underweight too since I only tend to eat if my cores are damaged instead of just eating for the sake of eating Link to post Share on other sites
odessasteps 14,552 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I really started eating mainly because I had maxed out everything I was carrying. Same with smoking premium cigarettes, since you need to always pick them up for the character cards. Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently I need to trade in the treadmill for gun fights to get in shape. I got a warning that he's at minimum weight last night. I don't think I've fed the poor bastard once.

odessasteps 14,552 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I finally started adding spices to my campfire meals. Adding some spice to my meat gave me a gold Health core for a day. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Dunlop 525 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Finally, my first Klan encounter. Waited until the cunts actually burnt the cross then chucked in a couple of sticks of dynamite, dead eye on, picked off the rest of them with rifle headshots and then piled all their bodies on top of each other at the foot of the burning cross to create a little KKK bonfire of my own. And, yet, still it wasn't satisfying enough. I still wish you could skin humans... Also got pickpocketed in Saint Denis but then I'M the one who gets the bounty for chasing down and beating the dude to death? Granted the punishment doesn't fit the crime for the $4 he stole probably to feed his hungry children but, still, Saint Denis is my town and that's some bullshit. Ah, who am I kidding, I still love you, Saint Denis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Have you eaten anything that was undercooked at any point? Because I wouldn't put it past them putting tapeworms in the game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I really want to go back and play the first one again to see how many people I forgot about. I know Bill and Dutch and that's about it. Since I think I'm getting close to the end... Spoiler I'm on the island and Dutch implied a minute ago that he thinks John and Abigail might be betraying the group. I'm guessing this is what causes the bad blood between them in RDR1. For anyone at this part in the game, is it almost over? Link to post Share on other sites

J.T. 11,328 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Killing members of the Klan in this game isn't nearly as fun as doing it in Mafia 3. Using a Release German to catapult a murderous racist into a burning cross never got old. Other than that, so far so good. 20 hours ago, RIPPA said: I am always underweight too since I only tend to eat if my cores are damaged instead of just eating for the sake of eating. I try to stay as healthy and well groomed as I can, but I think I mentally resist eating for the sake of eating because I hated doing it in EverQuest. You had to "eat" every 9 game hours, otherwise you'd get the YOU ARE HUNGRY message and you'd start losing stamina and health if you did not use your food consumables. Being forced to eat meals in a fucking video game is stupid, but at least it's not as bad as Shemue when I had a pet cat and had to get home to feed it regularly. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm totally 17, give or take a couple of decades... Anyway, I started a new chapter last night. The end is nigh and I can already tell I'm doing a second playthrough the minute I'm done. (Until online launches - then all bets are off.) I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I think I'm starting to like Arthur more than Marston. Dude is a great character. To the shock of no one who has heard me in party chat, I am freaking my wife out with my impression of him. Apparently it's pretty spot-on. Link to post Share on other sites

Robert C 2,161 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I wasn't expecting Spoiler Cornwall to go out in a pre mission cutscene. Also bye to Spoiler the reverend and Josiah. Things are getting mighty lonely around camp. I better get to shove a stick of dynamite somewhere that's very personal to Micah. Somehow, he just keeps getting more annoying.

odessasteps 14,552 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Had just enough time today to move to Clemons Point and stop for the day. was expecting Herr Strauss to adopt the German family into camp. Link to post Share on other sites
RUkered 1,125 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Don't open this one if you're not late into the game - chapter 5 or so. Spoiler I got legitimately sad when Arthur got the tuberculosis diagnosis. Now I'm wondering who I will play as, a la Jack Marston, if he dies when the story is over. Kind of hope it's Sadie. Kudos to the writers for making me have actual feelings over a video game character. I can tell I'm getting close to the end, and I have gone against my usual grain and have tried to take my time and not just blow through the story to see what happens. That being said, now that I am trying to see the ending, I have an endless slew of stranger missions popping up that are distracting me. Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 34,695 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 I saw something that said there are 6 chapters (and an Epilogue) So I guess use that as your guide as to how close you are getting. And you can definitely do stuff after you finish the main story (I am still basically at the beginning of Chapter 3 - partly because I am trying to do random side shit) Link to post Share on other sites
odessasteps 14,552 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I have done none of the stranger stuff deliberately yet. If I run into something, i do it. figure that is what to do after finishing the story. (Or the second playthrough) Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 34,695 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Well there is a difference The random white dots that pop - those happen over and over The white things that show up that look like the yellow missions - some of those are time sensitive and if you advance the main story too far, they will disappear (Remember what happened when you waited too long to save Jack in ME3?)

Robert C 2,161 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The epilogue never ends. I'm convinced of that now. Link to post Share on other sites
