if you dont know, you can go up the back of the sheriff's office and listen at the door. you will hear the sheriff argue with a woman and then he strangles her, then you can mug the sheriff for a letter, havent gotten past that part yet so ik what happens, trying to keep spoilers low. never played before and on my first run,
Why arrest Black and White? They carry on like an old married couple. I came across them in a remote place as John and they never changed one bit. God Bless em.
There's another secret outcome that only 0.001% of players discover. Before he dunks her head in the trough, you can hogtie the woman and take her to the sheriff. Arthur will explain that she made her husband angry because she was talking back. The sheriff will understand and tell you to lock her up. If you return a couple of days later, you can see her being hanged for talking back. Then, surprise surprise, as the sheriff is reading out her charges, she starts talking back. Sheriff then tells her to "will you just shut the eff up already" then just pulls the lever. It's a crazy detail.
@@Ronuk1996 Strange, I tried a few times with NPCs that attacked me on the road. I was accused of a crime (I forget what, Disturbing the Peace?) when taking them into the Office. Bad luck or mod maybe.
@aderek79 Exactly, I wiped out a del Lobo hideout, all except one guy which I tied up. I brought him to the very same tumbleweed sheriff who not one day prior publicly executed a del Lobo, and gave me a bounty for another one, and he pulled out his gun and arrested me "for disturbing the peace".
I'm surprised you can take him to the sheriff's office and put him in jail. Usually when you hog tie somebody and ride around town with them. They accuse you of kidnapping lol
Totally. I’ve been playing it for a year now and I didn’t know you could tie this npc down and take him to the sheriff. I’ll try it in my thirs playthrough.
I encountered the gunsmith trying to drown his wife yesterday. Rescued her and hogtied him, but left him there as I'd previously been arrested for kidnapping when trying to take a crim to the sheriff. As I needed ammo and he was tied up out back, I stole it. On the 3rd box I stole, I was reported and arrested. Went back to his store and he laughed about my arrest and how he was such good friends with the sheriff. 🤷
@@Kinan_The_G.O.A.Tthere's a few wife drowning encounters, none of them are a gunsmith, dude probably got confused because the gunsmith was gone for another reason.
Hmm, nope. Just the NPCs that you witnessed committing a crime. If you tie up any old NPC and deliver them to the sheriff, you’ll be arrested for kidnapping.
I made the mistake of thinking I could deliver this guy dead. He immediately stood up, the law had been called. So I shot him, called my horse, who at the time was at low bond with, which I think was the reason he didn’t come too close (right next to me, I always hate that), so I made out of there with almost no health.
I just said exactly the same thing today to someone playing live on TikTok. My wife said to me, "does this game ever end?" and the answer is....not really! There is always something more to do..lol
@@bozapub3507 You are right. Someone was saying in another comment section that even though it is a video game, it makes you feel...I cannot remember what the word was 🤔 empathy? I think it was, and feelings as well. When I play and fail to help someone I feel bad. It feels too real.
This is a great way to get the bolt action rifle early too. One of the guards on the gallows carries it. Also, cutting Arthur’s hair that short is an absolute travesty.
There's also the one where you can save the wife, hogtie him up, ride him out to the swamps of St Denis and let the Gators do their own justice - Free of Charge.
Every time I tied someone up for being a criminal I always had someone witness it and call it a kidnapping when I tried to bring then to the sheriff so I assumed i just couldn't do that lol. Sometimes I feel like I miss out on a lot because the game really makes it unclear when you can, can't or shouldn't do something
The further down (low honor) you go, the faster the scale moves... the further up (high honor) you go, the slower the scale moves. It makes it really easy to get low honor, but it takes a LOT of greeting and releasing fish to get that last notch to perfect honor... and one slip up and it's gone.
at any of the C2 Valentine hangings, if you shoot the lawman who pulls the lever you can pick up his Bolt Action Rifle before its available in the story or gunsmiths
He's a murderer himself anyway. If you walk up the stairs leading to the back of the Valentine Sheriff's Office, you can hear him arguing with Moira, whom he strangles to death when she tries to break off her affair with him.
I hogtied him and took him the sheriff after I recused the woman, only I got wanted as soon as I walked into the office. A couple in game days later I found a I think Raider in a prison wagon, killed the Raiders that tried rescuing him. Hogtied the prisoner and took him to the Rhodes sheriff and I got the drowning wife dialog. 🤷🏽♂️🤣
maybe most players kill him because he's in the process of murdering someone..... I'd rather play the game the way I want and live with the consequences instead of completion hunt personally.
One time i was trying to save a dying man near saint denis, when i got to the clinic the doc wasn't there Placed the man down the pavement to go find the doc and got wanted in the city for murder as i put him down Damn doctor wasn't there, i lost more than 150 dollars, still got a bounty to pay, and never got to see that scene where the doc was sawing the man's arm completely conscious
@@John-996 Yeah i mean it could be worse you could be forced to pick a side or participate, so many games force you to choose and get involved. I honestly just saw it went meh and just went along. I just don't know why i didn't really care enough about either enough to get involved and i like that i get to make that choice.
@@AlexBrown230That seriously says something about you as a person if you did do nothing, would you seriously do the same thing if this happened in real life?
@@ChrisCrossClash You know game =/= real life right? Even if it did happen irl and i did nothing instead and just walked away what's it to you? I'm not obligated to anyone but me and mine, i only care about what benefits me. I have no obligation to help anyone else, especially at the cost to myself if the guy might pull a weapon. Go cry about it.
I have more than 1,200 hours in this game and seeing this an encounter I have never even heard of before gives the urge to play it once again. This game is just so re-playable it's insane
I arrested the pick pocket in saint Denis when you go into the Tailor, hog tied him walked him to the prison walking past several Lawmen, as soon as I stepped into the police station I was a wanted man and akk the lawmen starting shooting at me
There some missions that are but there lots main story quests that give you lots of freedom then you have ecounters like this that have many outcomes. People are like sheep and just repeat the same criticisms they hear other people say with out really taking the time to see if its really true.
it is restrictive when it comes to certain things. Like mission which have scripted chases you cant avoid etc. Other than that, RDR2 is one of the greatest games ever made. There is no doubt about that.
@sefin84 Some missions like with chases like chick Mathew can be skipped by aiming a gun at him. Others like the Kid who robs Arthur you can catch him for an alterative cut Scene
I actually got this event in Rhodes on my current playthrough. Right after the grave robber loan shark mission. It was different people, but he was drowning her in a horse trough same as this. I killed him, tied her up and fed her to the gators. 😂 Arthur is a really bad dude this go round. Saves people then kills them for sport. I even killed the blind begger after he told me that the man with no nose was coming for me. 😂 WTF is that all about anyway? Zombies?
@@livewire2759 I guess you're probably right. Although, I'm going to still say it's zombies. Zombies isn't unheard of in the Red Dead Universe and Zombies are much more interesting than the Grim Reaper 😂
@@LogicallyKnot Sure... LOL If you do another playthrough, you should let the old blind man live though. Everything he says to both Arthur and John has something to do with their fate. It's actually quite interesting.
I get a lot of money from taking all the horses from the dead NPC's and selling them. You have one horse every encounter and if you sell them to a fence, you get a decent amount, stables it's not much but it's free money. Just make sure it's from people that attacked you first or you'll lose honor.
