Lost three damned perfect pelts in RDR2 today. Fucked up a duel and got the town on me. Ran off and found the guys defending the house from extortionists. Accidentally got the family on me. Died in the chaos. Everybody there wanted me dead.
And that's when I realized I hadn't manual saved in 2 hours. Bye bye pelts!
I gotta say, that's annoying. I'm all for realism and consequences but that's a lot to lose for someone who works for a living. I really do find that pretty lame. Not that if I went and hunted I could just replenish those. I fucking shot a hog running in the same direction as me while on horseback with a regular bow and pulled the perfect pelt. Then a deer. Then a second one that barely didn't make it out. To lose the fruits of that to the dumbest crap... ugh man. And it's not like the punishment teaches me to play differently. I'm not gonna spend more time going out of my way to ditch the pelts as quickly as possible. I'm just going to save more often so that I can load back. If the solution to a mechanic is "save more" maybe the mechanic isn't so hot
That's maybe my one biggest gripe with this game overall. Some of these punishments assume you have no life keeping you from making up the time you lose to them. It piles up and then before you know it a month goes by and I don't play. Like man... the amount of progress I have lost because I loosened my grip on the controller during dialog and accidentally drew my weapon. It goes back to the control schemes I guess. I need to see if there's a mod that lets me change them. Every time I play a R* game I feel like I need a cheat sheet.
