Saloons.
I have a quick question about Dead Eye:
I was getting all OCD earlier about hunting. I was in an area with wolves and I told myself, ok, kill and skin all the ones here then move on. But the problem was that I was in an area where they just kept spawning. I had like 30 when I started that, and I was so OCD by telling myself to kill and skin the ones around then move on that before I know it I literally had maxed out how much wolf parts I could even keep in my inventory. :lol
I just got DE 3 of 3 earlier today. The weird thing is that I don't remember getting 2 of 3 at all. Is it possible to skip that one or did I just overlook it? What is 2 of 3 like?

Not sure. When I finished it, JohnTTG said:Anyone know if the ending of the "I know you" Stranger task is different depending on the choices you make?Was a cool twist that it's Satan testing you, unfortunately I went with the good choices
tried to shoot him but it didn't do anything to him.
I found it interesting how a choice I made earlier in the game did come into play in a small way a bit later:
I thought that was pretty cool.
The guy in Thieves' Landing, you either tell him to not get with a whore or you pay him to do so, well I accidentally paid for the whore for him. I meant to do the other option but I was a little confused by the question it asked. Anyway, in Mexico the strangers mission for the guy in the black suit and top hat, he mad reference to that saying something like "how can a man like you be faithful to his own wife yet pay for a whore for another man".
I thought that was pretty cool.

Damn, seriously?! Where do you live?
I live in SoCal, in the valley. Our house is in front of a range of hills, and in those hills is coyotes, bobcats, and mountain lions.INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:
Seeing coyotes isn't that rare, bobcats are rare (but not surprising). I've never seen a mountain lion.

Jeez, Im in NYC, fiercest wildlife around here are.....squirrels.
Just finished the game at around 93% complete. I think it will be tough for any other game coming out this year to match RDR. The atmosphere and voice acting are ridiculously impressive.

Quick question for those that beat the game:

The I Know You stranger mission was my favorite of the game. The whole theme of the game is about seeking redemption, so it makes sense for Marston to be tested. Also, it was awesome to see something supernatural in a Rockstar game. I was disappointed there were no ghosts in Tumbleweed or even a ghost hitchiker like the campfire tales in the game talk about, so Satan's appearance made me smile. My favorite moment of the main storyline was easily the raid on Dutch's fort. Traveling through the snowy forest with a large posse felt incredible.
Quick question for those that beat the game:
Is there any way to play as John instead of Jack after the credits? I want to finsh up the last few challenges left and Jack is kind of annoying. The worst part about it is John has quickly become one of my favorite video game characters.

For those who have beaten the game
Can someone give me a video/videos (youtube preferred cause I can just use downloadhelper and keepvid) of the deaths of Uncle, and the deaths/capture of the people that were in the formal gang? Please... I have a great idea for a music video I can complete very soon 
... PM me the videos and keep the videos about 1 minute short or combine them.
and of coruse be credited for giving me the videos I requested.if I use them in the music video.

Yeah, me either. I was incredibly disappointed after hearing everyone hype it up and nothing happened.D23 said:
I know what you mean. We used to have a chicken coop and we would see a few foxes, coyotes and bobcats try to get in very rarely. Needless to say if we got out there in time, our furry little predator friend was not alive anymore thanks to my dad's colt m1911 or my remington 12 gauge. I have no mercy for the little pricks that steal from me or my family.K2Valor said:

They roam around the Western border of Tall Trees, near Aurora Basin. I also found a couple around Bearclaw Camp, as well as in between Thieves Landing and the Military Post. They were definitely the hardest bastards to find when I was working up Survivalist.
Ever since I got 100% completion, I've been having fun making up shit for me to do. I've switched to Expert aim for the single-player and it's a lot more fun, I'll definitely use it when I play through the single player again. Also limiting myself to certain weapons (I only ever use the revolvers- mainly the Schofield and the LeMat- because they're just that much more badass than the
semi-autos
). Also I'm enjoying re-clearing out the gang hide-outs using only a shotgun, forces me to get up close & personal. I've also toyed with turning the music off during firefights, it definitely makes them feel more gritty. And I'll admit that one of my favorite little things about RDR is the weapon echo off in the distance whenever you fire off a round
Oh, and speaking of the music, for those of you looking for stuff for custom soundtracks, I highly recommend this piece from the World of Warcraft soundtrack (skip to about 15 seconds in). Fits very nicely with RDR's

What are the bonuses for reaching 100%?
Traveling around is probably my favorite part of the game. Its weird to say that, but the world just looks sooooo good that it'd be a shame to skip the ride. And yes, those little random events are great, and there's always hunting/foraging(recently discovered you can make a TON of money doing this) to distract you, as well.GDJustin said:
I've also turned off the map HUD so the screen is ALL game. I find that I pay more attention to the world around me and although I still need to check my map a good bit, I tend to learn my way around new places faster and dont need the map as much as I can find my way by visual clues.
No doubt the best open-world environment ever.

Yes, but in all honesty if you aren't enjoying it by now then you probably won't enjoy the rest of the game.

Let's see, there's a 100g completion achievement/trophy (called "Redeemed"), you unlock a special outfit for the single-player campaign; "The Bureau Uniform" which basically allows you to kill anyone and the law enforcement won't bother you and your bounty will not increase
If you shoot someone in the face, instead of the law enforcement pulling their guns and shooting back or sending a posse after you, they'll just run away in fear like normal civilians.Although personsally my favorite is the U.S. Marshal outfit, I just like the way it looks.
I think...that's it. There's not a whole lot in terms of flat-out reward, but I did enjoy working my way up to it
I agree, the marshal outfit is ace.Loxley said:Let's see, there's a 100g completion achievement/trophy (called "Redeemed"), you unlock a special outfit for the single-player campsign; "The Bureau Uniform" which basically allows you to kill anyone and the law enforcement won't bother you and your bounty will not increase

Ending spoilers!!
You know, I, like many, don't really like Jack so much. He's not as awesome as John (best Rockstar character so far) and his voice makes it sound like you're playing with a 20-something guy rather than an outlaw with a lot of experience like John.
But maybe if they release some DLC to make Jack look as badass as John, we could grow to like him more... maybe.
Also his face bothers me.. it's like he's got a huge face with very small eyes.. and the cowboy outfit or whatever it's named (the first one) doesn't look anywhere as awesome as John's...
