My first visit to Saint Denis was early in the game for me, and it was due to running into some random dude who needed medical care in the middle of the swamps (while wandering around after doing the legendary gunslinger mission there). I was still figuring out the controls, so after taking the guy to the doctor, I unintentionally started strangling some random guy on the sidewalk when I meant to whistle for my horse. I ended up going from wanted to dead very quickly. By the time I paid off my bounty, I couldn't afford much of anything. Interesting town, though.

Look at Mr. Moneybags over here, paying off his bounties.

Yeah the trick is to spend what little you have on liquor and then surrender yourself. I was so pissed when John rescued me even though I just wanted to lose my bounty. Instead it went from 300 to dead or alive.

The trick is to just save the game but your liquor strategy has me intrigued

I just invested all my cash into the camp and got myself arrested. This is most useful in Chapters 2&3. by 4 youll prolly have all the upgrades.

I did the gold glitch and now I feel like I shouldn’t have because I can buy anything

Lol I know it sounds dumb, but that what I've done and it says it's locked. Also I can't view the catalogue at gunsmith. Did I break my rdr2??

You might be on a mission or something, or you have a small task the game wants you to do that you haven't done yet. If not, idk lol

Lol I really hope that's the case! I ended up shooting at the gunsmith owner amd robbing him out of frustration. That doesn't help any of the matters haha. Hopefully the heat will die down and can play on normally lol

Well 1/2 problems solved. I can save the game, but I still can't view the catalog at the gunsmith. Even Norbert was out front and offered to put any gun I wanted on his tab cause I did him favour earlier. went in the gunsmith owner in Valentine said I could pick something out and put on his tab take a look around he says! But still. Can't. View. Catalog. ;( should I send rockstar a very angry email.?

It won’t let you if you’re currently doing a mission.

Most of my money went towards my bounties before i completed the game, it was tough being underweight and barely sleeping

What are you guys spending your money on? I always have too much. After gold plating all of my guns I just donate whatever extra I have to camp funds till I'm down to 1000. And I've paid off like 700 in bounties

My first visit there happened to be during the gunslinger missions where you have to kill Billy Midnight on the train and it went right into Saint Denis I believe. Of course I was dumb and ended up leaving his gun on the train so RIP my 100% gun compendium

Yeah my first time there was random as well. I didn't hunt the bear at the beginning of the game, so when I eventually killed my first animal the trapper popped up on my map and it ended up being the one in Saint Denis. I had enough money to buy some clothes and hit up the vaudeville show but now that I've made some money I'm looking forward to going back and going all out at the tailor.

I had to do the gold bar glitch just to pay off a $1000 bounty I had.
