@Henke - quick question on RDR2 online - from what you said it seems fine to play online solo, although I was wondering how PVP elements work. In brief solo experiences on GTA5 online I recall just getting shot by other players for no particular reason. I'd find it irritating to be shot up by other players constantly but you haven't mentioned anything like that so far.

I did mention it briefly

My free roam experience wasn't particularly marred by high-level assholes tho, most people mind their own business, and thankfully at least on PS4 barely anyone speaks.
I did get shot by randos a few times, but thankfully I always respawned far enough away that I could get on my way before they came around for seconds.
Player icons also indicate their karma, blue icon = Honorable, red icon = Dishonorable. Don't turn your back on those red icon folks. :sly:

Ah, ok - I guess that was their solution to being repeatedly harassed. I'd say there should also be a timeout on killing the same player. Or temp bans for repeatedly killing players as a troll.

Does it have the kind of options that GTA Online has, e.g. private/friends-only sessions or passive mode?
henke on 30/4/2019 at 12:00
No idea about private sessions but you do get the option to Parley or Feud when a player kills you. Parley is basically passive mode.

Is that essentially making you untargetable again for the player that killed you?

I'm now in epilogue 2 and am greatly enjoying it - after the oppressiveness of chapter 6, it feels like a necessary release, even if the dramatic irony of knowing what will happen (in RDR) is always in the air.
Talking of which, I'm wondering: if there was a story DLC that was a retelling/remake/remaster of the original Red Dead Redemption, would you be interested in it? They've already laid the groundwork for it, after all.

No, hopefully if they do any singleplayer DLC it'll be something more interesting than that. Like... The New Adventures Of Sadie Adler!
Anyway, get on DAT MP, Thirith! There was a big update last week that apparently added new co-op missions. :)

I need to finish this off too. I'm currently at the stage where Arthur's been diagnosed with tuberculosis :(
And I'm looking for a sodding Opossum, because my next hunter rank is to kill an opossum playing possum, which is a dick move, as five minutes before I reached this level, I'd killed two playing possum, and now I can't find one for love nor money >:E
I'm at the stage now where I antagonise both Micah and Dutch whenever I'm back at camp, because seriously, fuck those guys. Whenever I go back, Micah's doing the whole "Serpent in the Garden of Eden" thing and whispering to Dutch in the cave, and they break it off when they notice Arthur.
I miss Lenny :(
I may see if I can hook a stick of dynamite in to camp. Even if it ends the game prematurely, at least I'll have the pleasure of knowing I've offed them.
