You get a stamp for selling the animal's sample to Harriet. 

 

 

Ah, so killing/skinning isn't required as well? That makes more sense - although it's still a bit weird to have the new stuff split into two opposing branches (Harriet and Gus), but to tick off 100% completion, you need to do both, rather than having it so you can just choose to do 100% of one, and 0% of the other.

 

Bit like how it kinda defeats the point of having the option to be honourable/dishonourable in the original story missions, when the game also requires you to do both if you want to achieve 100% - that'd be like if the only way you could 100% an RPG like Knights of the Old Republic was by being both 100% light side and 100% dark side (which'd make no sense, obviously).

 

The folks at R* really don't get the whole thing with RPG mechanics, do they? As in, you define your character by making choices, and those choices necessitate that you pick something over an alternative, rather than being everything.

I have one question. Is the character creator still randomly changing your character's appearance if you try to use it?

[GTAFanClub]

The more I play this DLC, the more I like it!

R*: oh please, you ungrateful bastards...we listened to your wishes and bullsh*t , we gave you "A FIRE..."....AND we tweaked the wildlife spawns from "sometimes to never" to "seemingly always". now please, let us continue our work on Max Payne 4.

PS: buy goldbars kthxbai

 

[Waingro]

Sure, but like the article says theres no emergent or cooperative gameplay just more hand holding and “everyone master of everything”.

I think you mean GTA Online on PS5 and the next Xbox. It's going to be the biggest gaming event in history.

Harriet sounds like my office secretary in GTAO.

is there a spreadsheet for the price of the difference animal samples?  and what's the cool down time between legendary animal missions?

I agree with the honourable / dishonourable thing and it not really being a choice in the end.

 

But in the case of this role the only choice is Harriet or nothing. Whilst Gus is a part of the update, he's not a part of the role.

The kill & skin options in the field guide are optional and only work towards achievements, not Gus.

He's just there to make those God awful clothes that everyone's going about in, like that's how it was is 1898.

There seems to be quite a few people calling on someone to make such a spreadsheet, but not many looking to be that someone. You could do it.

 

I don't think there is a cooldown on legendaries, but I don't know if you do the two offered, whether a third & fourth would be offered up right away.

I really hope so, though I'm doubtful. I don't need 20 variations of the same coat

She sounds like she needs to take a few mouths full of her own spray. Would make her to stop rambling neurotically. 
From her facial expression and body language, I’d say she’s a total nut case, mental. Borderline neurotic.

Well it's only fitting, since you can't play two characters. Be dumb to permanently lock off missions, especially since 99% of the time you join randoms? It's the Love mission 

[IzzyBlues]

I have a question, does anyone know if/how legendary animal missions work in a posse? If you kill it and one person skins it, does everyone automatically get the pelt? Same thing for sedation and sampling?

if u skin only u can have the pelt so if you all want the pelt u have to do the mission again so say 4 people 1 mission 1 person get a pelt then next mission friend 2 so no only 1 person so if u do it as a posse the best thing to do is take a simple as u all get a simple but the pelt only 1 get it who skins it

[RyuNova]

Fun fact - You are not actually sedating the animal. You are smacking it up on so many opioids it can't function because it's so high.

[Nerfgoth]

 

Look at the 3:38 mark! If you can remember where you find the animal it seems that every legendary animal got at least two spots or maybe three where they spawns.

I had to use it to fix the character age bug (if your character is 18 it gets set to 35 whenever you visit a store or fast travel - might be other conditions, such as character carried over from RDO launch character creator - but setting to 19 fixes the problem). No other aspects of my character got changed. But maybe I was just lucky. I didn’t touch anything else apart from age.

Which is a shame, because underneath all that dirt and crazyness, she may be one of the most beautiful npc of the game.. Only mary beth, madame nazar... and maybe mary linton...are hotter.

I was at the start of level 19, naturalist, when I kept getting this message on the screen about how I could

turn in a completed section of the book.

 

I'd never figured this out, thinking she just stamped things when you talked to her. It turns out, after looking at

some posts online, that you have an extra thing at the bottom of a completed one to turn them in. I'd never noticed

that (you don't even have to be around Harriet.) I think it was "x to turn in", or something.

 

Boom 20!

 

I thought Harriet was coming on to my character, kind of, then I notice she is drawing a nude lady from the back (if you catch her sitting down.)

It is one of those crazy little details, that amaze me.

 

Got the 20 Piebald Naturalist horse, rank 2 so far. Not really enough to see how good it is.

Mostly I'm enjoying shooting the heck out of animals again, in my rank 20 "hippie" outfit!

I've kind of figured that out, it warps you to the nearest "Freebie" one that was always there but now you can craft at it? Or could you always?

It then leaves the icon for it on the map, for a time, so you can see where it is. Yeah, seems kind of lame for 750 but since I had $40,000 at the

start of this DLC I don't really mind (down to about $32,000 now.)

 

Time to kill those horrible Legendary animals which are the WORST to sedate; Hated that Sapa cougar and stuff, plus the stupid

boar who rams me and my wussy horse bucks me off. Now Moonstone's "wolf pack" will be fun, instead of me sedating 7 wolves.

"Beavergeddon" was kind of fun to sedate/sample (I jumped up on a rock), but will be WAY more fun to kill... Irritating part is I'm sure she'll spray me and make me

wait 15 minutes?

The thing is that I found the Chalk Ram where the Onyx Wolf spawns! And the Ota Fox in the middle of Ring Neck Creek!

One more thing!

[Td7]

Played the free roam event and not one single animal I could sedate but others have absolutely no problem finding animals lol. Anyone else have this problem?

Always managed to find animals when I have done it. The benefit is though you get the samples if someone else gets it, so if someone else sedates the legendary animal then you also get the sample.

I have skinned 9 or 10 legendary animals so far but only through the missions. I have yet to find one myself when I’m free roam, spent over an hour at the marble fox location and nothing appeared.

Hahaha. Good f*cking luck getting the ones that require no rain or fog. Online continues to be a silent hill movie 90% time with piss poor visibility. So dumb.
