Red Dead Redemption is a bit glitchy but brings plenty of bizarre moments.
#1 I abandoned my horse (Champion #3) outside of Rathskeller Fork while I went in to do some Al Swearengen stuff. After getting into a fistfight with a bloke for killing his chickens and pigs (people can be touchy), I went outside to find my horse trundling by on top of a stagecoach. How it got on top I have no idea. Words were had.
#2 I was galloping this horse to Pike's Basin, lost my bearings and ended up jumping over the edge of the cliff. Unluckily (for him), there was a bandit standing underneath as part of the hideout mini-mission. The poor black hat got a horse right in the face and I tumbled off on impact and survived. Out came the shooter and I got to work.
I had tears in my eyes as I skinned "Champ" and looted their corpses.
#3 When I got to Mexico, there is a great cutscene set to music upon crossing the border. After this, I stopped on the edge of a river to take in the majestic scenery with hawks circling overhead as the sun began to set. As I sat on my noble steed, jaw agape in wonder at God's creation, a bobcat leapt up from nowhere and killed my horse (Champion #6) sending me tumbling down into a watery grave. Bastard.
#4 Reloading, I rode to Escalero and went to see the General. Simple enough. Go up the stairs, see the General, hear him out, unlock the missions, do some killin’, skinnin’ and ridin’. When I got there he was sitting in his chair which was hovering six inches above his desk. I immediately skipped the cut scene and there he remained, lording it over me like a Mexicali version of Threepio in Return Of The Jedi.
I won’t have blatant devilry like that. I won’t.
Not on my watch.
They all had to die. All of them.
#5 One of the random missions involved a woman in distress but as I got near the bitch took my ride. I whistled the horse, which threw her, mounted up, lassoed her from horseback and dragged her across the plains to the nearest train tracks just down from a fork.
Then I hogtied her and left her on the tracks. I then sat by as Mr Choo-Choo thundered down the tracks and...took the wrong fork. So, I had to put her on the back of my horse and ride ahead of it. It then stopped at Armadillo for what seemed like ages so I cut her free, lassoed her again and dragged her around a bit more. Finally, when the train began to move I rode ahead and dropped her on the tracks and Mr Choo-Choo rolled over her thieving body. I honestly don’t know how serial killers put up with this kind of stuff. It really fucks with your day.
The next time it happened, it was a bloke so I whistled, mounted up, lassoed the bellend and dragged him to an area with lots of wolves. Chow time, doggies.
#6 A bloke was getting off his horse as I galloped along. I’d seen someone do this before and loot a corpse so thought I would beat him to it just to piss him off. Anyway, when I arrived he was just standing next to a rock and peeing. Really peeing. With a bright yellow stream and everything. He didn’t appreciate me standing there watching him either, cos he stopped, gave me a mouthful of abuse and then went on his way. I waited til he got a fair distance away and then shot him in the head with my Rolling Rock rifle. Public urination- the sentence is death.
#7 Being an achievement whore, I was hunting bears to get the legendary Bruin unlocked. I'd killed a fair few grizzlys but there were two chasing me as I was trying to stab a third. Fortunately at this moment a passing wagon trundled by which the bruins decided to attack for a bit, allowing me easy access to brainshots.
#8 When I went back to Rathskeller Fork there was a local screaming her guts out not far outside it. Turns out she was being chased by a cougar, so I’d have been screaming too. I’d had my run ins with cougars before so was a bit wary but gave chase anyway. The ground was very hilly so I kept losing a bead on the thing. So, I decided to ride ahead of the screaming local to intercept the moggy as it passed.
Instead, she just run past me. There was no cougar chasing her anymore. As you get a reward for saving a random stranger I thought I’d follow her and see if the glitch corrected itself but she had run straight into the saloon in the town and was still showing on my radar as a large blue dot. I followed her in and stood next to her panicking form and nothing happened. No reward. I was just about to draw my irons and kill everyone in frustration when the cougar came running through the swing doors and killed her. Then just started walking around in the bar. Nobody batted an eyelid. It was like a house party at Siegfried and Roy’s.
#9 Not exactly a glitch, but I was sitting there playing this as the wife came in one day. I was in Armadillo and had just completed a bounty mission. Being a general do-gooder except in extreme cases I had earned some love from the local nun who awarded me a cross for my honourable ways. This relic makes you harder to hit. As she wandered off I heard the whistle of an approaching train. Since I already had the cross I figured I didn't need her any more, so I lassoed her and dropped her on the tracks. "It's OK" I said to the wife "Jesus will save her".
After the train rolled over the Penguin my wife just looked at me, shook her head and walked off muttering something about my upbringing.
