oCrapaCreeper Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Seems like when you commit crimes even with it on, you still get identified and lose honor. Isn't the entire point of it to prevent that? EDIT: I've read that you have to pretty much change your entire appearance (Hat, clothes, etc) and even your horse to things the town hasn't seen Arthur wear in order to not have a bounty and prevent honor loss. Is there truth to that? Edited October 27, 2018 by oCrapaCreeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFolo Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well it's been like that for me. Even when i committed a crime and hid, my horse ran past the witness when i whistled for it and then the witness somehow knew i was the one who did the crime despite not seeing me. I think the bandana is meant to not have people identify for crimes but a lot of the time, Arthur takes his bandana off (From my experience) I think you lose honor regardless if you are wearing it or not.

Mach1bud Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Changing your clothes, changing your hair and beard, and wearing a mask or bandana are the things that affect it. It just makes witnesses less likely to identify you when they see you again.

DexMacLeod Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Early on in the game I found that I'd get a bounty on me after pretty much any story related shoot out. If I stuck around to loot the bodies a witness would pop up super far away (no way the saw me) and it would say "investigating". I'd try to ride away but I'd be full on Wanted once the witness finds a body. Seems they often don't actually need to see you anyway.

tre288 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Allegedly having to change every aspect of your character for it to even slightly potentially make a difference. Hardly fun. Same with getting shot up in town for standing next to a guy, shooting him in defense, and having yet another bounty placed on you. I think some of the mechanics aren't exactly working as intended tbh R3CON, DentureDynamite, Slonitram and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaGicBush Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yea I got pissed off earlier when I was trying to help a guy from getting mugged. I fist fought two bad guys, and apparently killed one. Some witness walked up and I randomly got a murder wanted level for $35. I'm early in the game and just bought my new horse saddle, etc and have no money to pay it off. Very annoying since I was helping someone. This system need adjustment.

(trying not to give too many spoilers) It took some time but I paid it off by hunting and selling to the trapper, and selling loot to the fence. Somehow, during the whole time, I didn't get tracked nor arrested. After that I figured out that treasure hunting is your best bet to make large sums quickly.

theyorkshirejo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I think this is the only part of the game that is ruining the whole thing for me. Getting bounties for literally everything even when there’s no one around. I’ve stopped doing any of the random encounters cos at this point all they’re doing is costing me money. Now if I get a bounty I’m just quitting and restarting the whole game. I don’t mind getting bounties for committing actual crimes but getting a $35 bounty just because my horse slightly bumped into someone??? That’s dumb. And then I have to travel 300 miles to the next town to pay it off cos I can’t get to the nearest post office without getting shot. paddymcg, OddProject, tre288 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you leave town when you're wanted, and return when it has calmed down, go up to a Sherriff and antagonise him, then quickly surrendour, this wipes the slate clean (apparently). Will try tonight.

Shadowfennekin Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It just has to be glitched. I never did anything in Strawberry and I was literally identified as Arthur Morgan and had a $250 bounty after a certain mission there. It was total bullsh*t.... then the same happened during some major robbery missions. And full on masks don't work either! I tried.... I really hope they fix this cause it makes the actual crime part of the game NOT fun. Rob a store for $20, get a $40 bounty on your head..... then we have the OP terminator bounty hunters that aren't even fair. They have GTA V level of accuracy!

Dr.Rosenthal Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) I accidentally rode into some NPC who was walking, which made me Wanted. Lots of red dots appeared and started shooting at me, so I fired back to prevent from dying. Eventually I escaped but got a $85 bounty to pay off. Just for accidentally riding into someone, lol. I agree this system can make things get out of hand quickly, making it expensive or just more difficult - and a lot of what happens appears to do so by pure chance. But I wouldn't say "they should patch it", in part because patching doesn't work like that lol, but also because this is exactly what makes it fun! The chance encounters, etc. It'll certainly take some getting used to though. For example, I've become much more careful as to where and how I ride my horse. I can't just penetrate through like a tank. And that's a good thing, I think. So far, the wanted system (and the bandana) seems to work as it should. If I commit a crime, there will be the "Wanted"-meter, but the difference being that authorities can't identify me. So as long as I don't get seen wearing the bandana, I can just ride off, wait for the meter to drain fully, and then take off the bandana and ride into the nearest town..
