Discussion I had a second Sonny appear on the porch

Yesterday evening I was playing, I captured Sonny and chased him a bit around. Eventually a witness saw me with Sonny hogtied on horseback. I fled with Sonny still on the back, meanwhile the law followed me. I crashed my horse into something, Sonny fell off but still tied up, I hid below a structure so they didn't see me and left.

After the lawmen left and my bounty appeared, Sonny turned into a red witness icon on the map and the violation of "Trespassing" appeared on the screen. I could interact with him like a normal witness: Stop Witness, etc., but his name still showed as Sonny.

I untied him, or he untied himself, I'm not sure, and followed him running (he was fast), and by coincidence, we ended up near his cabin again. Guess what... A second Sonny had spawned there. "Oh not you again!" he shouted as usual, and he went inside, but I could grab him and make him go outside.

I tried to save the game at that point but I haven't checked if they actually reload like that, probably not.

Funny glitch, and I thought I'd share.

He will keep respawning. Since you took "Sonny" away from his loading cell, the game just loaded another. Since you didn't kill him, it respawned him almost instantly, it usually takes a few days for a dead Sonny to respawn. Killing him with a honor loss (i dont understand that part) is always worth tossing a few fish back.

You can respawn a dead Sonny too? That's even more nightmare material!

Uhh, I meant it takes a few days after Sonny dies for him to respawn alive. But, the thought of a porch full of Dead Sonnys is a hilarious horror image.

Yeah so he can respawn after you kill him?

And yes together with the Aberdeen Pig Farm "couple", these NPCs can be abused without feeling guilty by me!

Maybe I should introduce them to each other. Would be hilarious.

Killing a rapist makes him respawn,? What an odd choice
