Well after my fiasco with the legendary bear... I finally went back to the trapper and this happened. I know for most this is probably old news, but this made me happy! 

 

With that, I am confused with the legendary animals and the legendary map provided. On the map, it lists something like 13-14 animals. but on the regular overworld map, it seems ive opened areas where there might be a bunch of other animals (birds, fish, etc.) are theses animals listed on the regular overworld map not legendary spots? 

 

also - is there a specific way to initiate the hunt of a legendary animal? i wandered into what i think was legendary raccoon territory and i saw a bunch of raccoons, but not the legendary one. i kept sweeping back and forth over the area, looking through my binoculars, engaging eagle eye...and i couldnt find him.

So, the slow pacing is getting to me a bit. It is fine when just doing yellow missions back to back, but these white missions have you riding all over the place to get something minor. Fast Travel isn't that helpful in what I am talking about. It's just that I put in a good amount of time, but not a lot happened.

Thank god for manual saves.

 

It was a dark night, and I saw a patch of earth that was glowing for some reason. I rode up on it and apparently it was a fire that the game didn’t bother to render, any my horse went up in flames almost immediately. I went up in flames after getting tossed and I couldn’t make it to Logan in time to rescue him.

 

Normally I don’t save scum but invisible fire seems like a good reason!

I actually started d playing a little tonight. Lord, the opening moves so slow.

I just started and felt it was fine but I watch and enjoy cowboy movies.  It almost felt like opening of hateful 8 and I have tons of friends that thought that movie was shit and I thought it was amazing. 

Maybe people don't watch cowboy movies that don't star Will Smith or Chris Pratt this day and age.

Holy shit, that makes three of us in the universe. You, I and Quentin Tarantino himself.

Would have been a lot more enjoyable if the opening was just a movie instead where I could set down the controller.  

 

I can do slow in movie format, love Once Upon a Time in the West, but put a controller in my hand and my patience drops.

It's almost a sin but despite it's insanely gorgeous cinematography and all, I could never get into Once Upon A Time In The West. The pace is on the wrong side of contemplative and completely loses me every time I've tried to watch it. 

 

I think by that point, Leone was burnt on westerns. He probably realized he would never top The Man with No Name trilogy.

I wish I knew but I never once managed to make it past the halfway point and I've attempted to watch it a minimum of three times throughout my life. I even own it but the ludicrous levels of scene-chewing burns me out quickly.

 Have you watched Fistfull of Dollars, For Few Dollars more or Good Bad Ugly? 

 

they are the pinnacle of spaghetti westerns.

Sure, yeah, I absolutely love those. I also really like the original Django and I'm into a slew of other obscure ones like The Great Silence with Klaus Kinski.

I had another issue with a legendary hunt. I killed the legendary bison while it was crossing a river, thinking I could lasso it to shore. Turns out that's not possible, so I just watched helplessly as it sank to the bottom. This time I was on the lookout for what the tooltip would say, and by the time I rode back to town it told me that since I abandoned my legendary beast, the parts would be available at the trapper. I haven't been back, but I'm glad that I don't just lose access to unique resources.

 

I really enjoy the story missions, but the excessive travel time is wearing on me. I'm so thankful for the missions that offer to bring me back to the camp automatically, but I don't understand why that's not just every mission, or at least every mission where it makes sense.

When you see an animal on the regular map, that means that's an area where that particular type of animal is more than likely to be found I think. To hunt the legendary animal, you have to track clues that the animal leaves and I think use bait to lure it out. I lost my legendary bear carcass after I killed it and would like to get it back if that's possible :p

I don't watch any cowboy movies. 

 

The game is just slow. It takes forever to tell you how to do basic shit. Even character movements feel slow.

When you first start the game and your dead eye is low, the way it works is as you pass your cursor over any part of a target's body, it will automatically assigned a target. Consequently, if you want a head shot, you have to drag the cursor over only the head of the target.

 

After you level up dead eye, it stops auto painting and requires you to manually press R1 when you want to mark a spot to shoot. 

 

Losing auto painting sounds worse, but it's better for exactly the reason you described: you can avoid shooting at irrelevant points and only shoot where you want to. That preserves ammo and I suppose for hunting allows for cleaner kills (I still haven't really hunted much in the game).

I forgot to thank you for this.  Super helpful. I forgot my D1P password and too lazy to change so I can't access this site from home.  I'm gonna do that right now.

Save often near Rhodes if you don’t want to lose your horse to invisible fires!
