Oh, I see, thanks there Monkey. I've heard there's a stranger that's easy to miss during the story, and does not appear after the game if you don't complete the task. How do I know which one it its in advance?

I'm not sure. Never came up for me. If I had to guess, I'd say California is probably it. Wouldn't swear to it though. There's a nice guide at GameFaqs though if you don't want to miss any.

Thanks Monkey, guess I'll just work on doing the strangers' tasks while doing the story mode.

Most of them trigger at about the time you'll be in the area they are due to the story taking you that way anyhow, so it's not too hard.

I think it is the California one alright cause i can't get the bugger to appear.

Are you just watching the map for him, or did you go to where he should be personally?

Guy was having the same problem. I got the accept, but imo the other guy had the better answer.

It's prob the I know You stranger mission. It can't be completed after the game.

That's true. I forgot that one. You encounter that one 3 times, SR. Once in each territory. The final one is in West Elizabeth. Make sure you get it when it appears. Don't worry. As long as you've found the other two by then, it'll be a big purple spot on your map.

One thing that I did late in the game when I was grinding out my 100% was to advance time a lot. This made the stranger missions and bounties pop up quicker. All you have to do is go to a save location and then hit the save game. You can then cancel out without doing a full save. Each time that you do that it advances the game 6 or 7 hours. I’d do this 4 times in a row and be on a new day.

I did that too. It does help. Especially with bounties which you can only get one of a day per location.

Just got RDR, and boy is it a fun game!
Gonna play the campaign for the first week, then jump on some MP with ya guys.

Welcome to RDR Sponge. You are in for one hell of a ride with this game, i can assure you of that. Enjoy

Got the game 11 days ago. I am so completely addicted to it, I haven't played anything else for a while now. I am yet to finish the campaign, i keep getting distracted by other activites. my game stats says i have completed 50% of the game now. That i think is mostly because of other activities. Wonder what would be the completion percentage if you just do the campaign without doing other activities?

P.S I haven't even seen what multiplayer is like!! This game is worth every penny you shell out for it

Thanks Neo!
Looking forward to it, havent had anytime today to play, just started the campaign, got to finish hunting with the chick and had to leave.

Tomorrow morning Ill be on my horse, riding towards the sunrise, guaranteed.

Thanks for the tips Hoos and Monkey. I'll be sure to hit the strangers along the way while I'm doing the story missions.

Hooray Sponge! Glad to hear you finally got the game and are enjoying it.

Red Dead Saturday!

WHEN: 9am EST

WHY: To get the Posse Up! Trophy that has been eluding many of us. We need 8 people to make this work!

HOW: I will start inviting people into the game at 9am. Once a person enters the room, I will send them a posse invite. Hopefully, we will get an 8 person posse and the trophy. If it works, I will back out of the room and the 2nd person in the party will take it over. I will then rejoin the posse as the 8th member. We will continue to rotate until everybody has the trophy.[/size]
