Picture Found a really cool replica of Arthur's journal on eBay!

I've been wanting a replica of Arthur's journal for a while now and finally decided to treat myself to one.

This one was from eBay. Around 600 pages, including Arthur's journal entries, sketches and some of John's too. Not sure if it includes absolutely everything from the game as I've only had a quick flick through so far.

The faux leather cover isn't an exact copy of the one from the game, but I'm really happy with how it looks. The gang photo, keyring and stickers were little freebies the seller threw in.

Overall I'm happy with it as I know how expensive some of the replicas can be.

Discussion I'm playing first time in Rdr2 and I love it

Post image
• Upvotes

Please don't spoil me game,and sorry for my English

I am now in chapter 2,and I'd never seen such a beautiful open world where I want to stay long time and don't play story. I like the story but knowing that in chapter 2 is the best time to chill I don't want to continue. I have too much to say because I don't have someone to speak with and have soo much stories here.

I lost 2 horses because of bounty of Micha quest(I said on another post about Arabian, but now I lost my white Kentucky too).

How I falled in love in Raven Black Shire(I seen him before quest with him started and tried to steal him,but he twice hitted me,and when I was on stable I clicked some random button because I was lost in buttons,and I was lucky that I stabled him)

God I’m so fed up with talking to an AI about this, and I’m just so glad I can share it with someone else. BTW credits for the art https://johnsonsjohnsons.tumblr.com/ (I'm not sure but I think this is him)

All stallions:

1 - Black Kentucky Saddler - Doolin*

2 - Black Rabicano Tennessee Walker - Dalton*

*Named after my favorite outlaw gang (and one of my favorite Eagles songs).

3 - Raven Black Shire - Brutus; I always name him Brutus because Hosea calls him a brute.

4 - Black American Standardbred - Bruce; Named after the Dark Knight himself (even if he didn't exist back then).

5 - The quick outfit I threw together with already owned clothes after I got Jon's hat.

Question trying to figure out what's written in Dutch's notebook

Thumbnail

90 Upvotes

I'm going over Colter's details right now, and I noticed that Dutch spends most of his time writing in his notebook.

I wanted to read it and was surprised to see French. since it's my first language, I deciphered what I could (keeping in mind that I’m playing on a PS4 with a screen that’s not great), and the little I understood looked like random sentences—almost like the kind I might have copied down myself in kindergarten to practice writing. I wanted to know if any of you know anything about this or if it’s just Rockstar throwing stuff in at random to fill up the pages

(none of in-game text is translated, even on a console set to French.)

edit : looked through Horseshoe Overlook and found the exact same pages in Mary-Beth's note book. seems like the whole gang has been practicing french lately

Immediately got this cyan filter over a portion of the screen as soon as I started dragging the guy, a quick restart of the game fixed it but that was something.

Discussion First playtrough of both games and I think the first was better. Spoiler

Let me explain.

I started playing read dead redemption 2 about a month ago and I took my time played slow and enjoyed the story. I was always high honor and thuss it was kinda funny that the game was trying to rectify myself whilst the only bad things I did where the things I had to do for quests.

My favorite camp was shady bell since I think that was the turning point for most camp members. But I think after finishing the game and ending high honor. Then buidling my house and finnaly starting rdr1 makes the experience so much more diffrent then people who grew up with the first game.

You know why you kill Bill, Javier and Dutch and I can't lie I realy wanted to kill Dutch after the whole Micah thing. I was kinda annoyed that he did it himself. The man had gone insane after all. But with knowing the picture and having seen the downfall with Arthur morgan I think it makes RDR way more understanding because if I hadn't had the connections with the character I don't think I would have cared about this game. Also after playing the RDR1 I did miss Mexico in RDR2 I loved that part of the map. Also the bounty hunting in both games is one of my favorite things about it.
(I did use the reality redemption mod btw.)

From the 2 main characters I did like Arthur more he had more depth and character and we see how he grows as a person and his final act makes rdr1 so much more painful. John was great definitely the conversations about loyalty and the overal story. I do think that the game should have ended with John comming home instead of killing him off but then again...

Also the characters in rdr1 where less memorable accept a couple, Bonnie and Landon Ricketts where my favorite. Compaired to side characters like Pearson or even Tilly I think you can forget the RDR1 characters pretty fast.

Some of my favourite moments of the intire story are:
Ofcourse going out drinking with Lenny doing the whole gunslingers side quest to get there picture. Getting eggs with pearson since we never do a lot with him. And the nun we speak. I also loved hunting so getting all the legendary animals was fun (not the fish haven’t even completed 1 I think) Then in RDR1 it has to be getting the kentucky horse after getting new horses. Helping the rebels take over escalare and the I know you side quests. And of course the final couple of quests where you raise Jack.

The red dead redemption series was amazing. I loved it Im probably gonna try online in the futur but I have been coronacly online for too long now.

Thank you rockstar games.

Question Bounty haunters

5 Upvotes

Hey fellers, Sometimes when I'm dealing with bounty hunters, killing one of them usually the last one gives me negative honor and it's a big drop, is that a bug? I've checked multiple time no he's not running away he's actively shooting at me when this happens and there's no horses or law dog around, any thoughts? Also i always run away when there are law dogs engaged cause i don't want to kill the dogs, is there a way around them to not get bad honor while also getting that sweet loot off the haunters? Thanks in advance cowboys

Help Hey everyone! I need some help finding the Carolina Parakeets in the main game.

​

​I'm working on my compendium and trying to find the Carolina Parakeet, but I'm having a really hard time getting them to spawn. Since they can actually be permanently wiped out in the game, I want to make sure I find them in the right locations.

​Could anyone share the best spawn spots or reliable methods to find and study/hunt them in the main map (Lemoyne area)? Are there specific weather conditions or times of day when they appear?

​Thanks for any tips!

I’m not even close to getting this as I’m still trying to get 100% in story mode, but I feel because how good this game is and the attention to detail that all these challenges and trophies need, that when you platinum this game, it should be worthy of a LinkedIn post and a resume update. Shows that you’re detailed oriented, honorable, a team player thriving under poor leadership and you persevere through the toughest hardships like gambler 8 and tuberculosis.
