Yeah - This is one of my favorite games. Spent the entire winter a couple years ago playing nothing but that game after work but was ready to be done to.

For such a great game, has anyone played it multiple times?
I blew through the main storyline of the game in like a month or two when I first bought it. I fucked around with the epilogue portion of the game for a little while before deciding to start over and take my time with it this time. I'm probably 70% through the story now, but these days I only really dust the game off and play it heavily for a week or two then take a month or two off.
I have a hard time picking up a game and starting where I left off if I've taken a couple weeks off of it.

One of my favorite things to do when dinking around in RDR2 was whenever I saw someone fishing off in the distance, I would pull out the sniper rifle and shoot their bobber. Made me chuckle every time, watching them real in their line and calling it a day.
This. There are some serious AAA titles I've never finished but played through half of like 3-4 times...

Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Switch. Maybe this will be the year I get the urge to play that game all the way through. I just remember there’s certain parts of that game I’d rather not do again.

Well, Arthur is dead I think and now I'm in the epilogue where I'm playing John who is going by John Milton as a farmhand, shoveling shit and rounding up bulls. However I'm just starting a shootout... But am I getting close to the end? I want to go back and start over, there's so much shit I didn't do the first run through.

Yeah. You’re going to want to finish it off. May seem boring right now but the payoff is fantastic.

I played it through until the credits, but skipped a lot of the battles after a while because my circle button sucks and I'll always die trying to get out of choke holds.

But stats for first run was something like 9 out of 90 challenges completed and I got 177 out of 560 in my compendum. Seems like I barely scratched the surface. I'm starting over again, just settled in Beaver Hollow

I'm embarrassed because for as much time I put in this game I still haven't finished the epilogue past starting to build the house.

But I feel like I've seen every single random encounter on youtube so I'm ok with it.

You mean the fat hillbilly that was porking his sister? I calmly walked out of their place, put my mask on, then walked back in and executed them.

No, man... Trust me, you will know which hillbilly I'm talking about when you find him. There will literally be no question in your mind as to who I'm referring to. Look for a shack in the swamps north of st denis, I believe around dusk.

What the fuck? Arthur got raped!! Why would anyone lead me into that? I was ready to walk in and start slugging but that fucker coldcocked me and then hotcocked me. So instead of finding a cure for TB, I wind up getting frontier AIDS. Thanks for the tip, no pun intended.

I made sure to go right back and deliver swift justice though, that hillbilly was none too happy to see me. Worst part was he didn't have shit to loot.

This second time around is so much more funner, doing shit I didn't even know was available the first time through... except for the rape part.

What ending did you get in your first playthrough? I just finished my second playthrough the main story line and its definitely worth playing it to get both.

I wonder if you can go back to the hillbilly as Arthor's son and get justice on the hillbilly? Or, get some sweet lov'n? Seriously, though. It seems like they could have made a cool Easter Egg in there for the very few people who may have actually left the hillbilly alive and thought about it to go back as Jon to see what happens.

Anyone tried this? If/when I replay this game, I'm going to.

I found the Viking helmet. Now I'm running around like I'm in Skyrim.

Anyone find any more bones, totems, or wall carvings? How am I supposed to find 20 bones or whatever when I haven't seen a one since I met the lady and I'm on my second playthrough.
