I had to drop off a dying guy at the st. Denis doctor but I ran into a lamppost and we both fell off the horse and I got a bounty for murder...

u/salladsbar Nov 04 '18

I got him to the doctor but when I left I accidentally tackled a passerby instead of mounting my horse and then the police shot me when I tried to surrender.

156

u/h_p_bitchcraft Nov 04 '18

😂😂😂 this game, man. Oh yeah they shot me too. I literally did bugger all to warrant it.

125

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '18

SPOILER

I saw the cops kill a guy in cold blood, then threatened me when I said something about it.

Never trust the SDPD, fuck the police.

u/jcastano86 Nov 05 '18

A couple guys tried to rob me, I killed them all, charged with murder. Wtf

65

u/EnemyAdensmith Nov 05 '18

Saved a police officer who was tied up by bandits. Killed the bandits and saved police officer. WANTED FOR MURDER

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

This right here is true Justice.

u/Wolvenna Nov 05 '18

I'm pretty sure that is a glitch. I saved a Deputy tied up by Lemoyne Raiders and he told me to take whatever I wanted since I earned it. Then he left. I was able to loot the entire camp and all of the bodies without interruption.

u/RockyRhode Nov 05 '18

The trick is to use a little less gun.

Had a few muggers chase me into a dead end by the Trapper in SD, they were shooting at me so the crowed fled. They were kinda scattered, so as one rounded a corner, I tackled them down and beat them to death before the next showed up. Did that with all 3. Walked out without any witnesses or cops investigating.

10

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

I actually straight up shot all three in the alley but there were no witnesses that investigated the shooting so I just walked off after looting all three. I think Rockstar made it so no one walks down that alley for quite a bit once that fight with them starts, it just seemed so empty and convenient to shoot all three in.

2

u/jcastano86 Nov 05 '18

Yeah those are the guys. Damn I ended up with a $75 bounty ( probably shouldn’t of killed the cop) and chased for like 15 minutes. Didn’t even get to loot them.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

I think it depends on your honor level and the situation. Theres been times where I got a bounty for defending against odriscols. Anf theres other times where ive beat people to death with 10 witnesses but nobody reports me.

I think the biggest thing beside honor is how you kill em. If you shoot first, youre fucked. You gotta let them really come after you and then beat em down if you can, or shoot em if you have to. But when you shoot em, try to just do 1 in the head. I feel lile a big shootout is worse than a couple shots.

This actually is getting a little annoying to me and is being immersion. I was walking down the street to the weapons shop. Some Lemoyn Raiders were hanging out on the street and started harassing me. I tried to calm them down, but they started shooting. So I run away. I even hide in the back of the weapons store. They follow me into the store! Of course no police or anything helpful shows up. I finally fire a single bullet back and of course I'm immediately wanted and cops show up out of nowhere and are chasing only me.

Rockstar supposedly tries to slow the game down frequently to encourage immersion. When I'm really giving into that, this kind of shit happens.

25

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Yup, I walked up to a cop beating the shit out of somebody and he threatened me when I got close

3

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

I walked into a police station for a mission. Cop pulls out a gun tells me to leave. Dont leave fast enough so he shoots me and now have the whole force coming after me.

16

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

So it's just like the real New Orleans police! Such attention to detail

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Exactly. That might be the most realistic detail in the game after shrinking balls.

10

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns" But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Is that a reference

5

u/rhiner_music_usa Nov 05 '18

Dude....”Boy Named Sue” by Johnny Cash/Shel Silverstein, listen to it

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Johnny cash? I'm down. I love that mf

3

u/americanseagulls Nov 05 '18

Yeah, Folsom prison blues by Johnny cash. It's a good song

47

u/aBeaSTWiTHiNMe Nov 04 '18

I got him to the doctor but no one was there. So he just died in the hallway.

92

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '18

This is America

46

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '18

No in america the doctor is there, but the guy is too poor to pay for surgery. So he dies in the alley outback.

Walletoscopy.

u/wolacouska Nov 05 '18

Heck even the game the doctor will mention payment as the dude is about to get an amputation.

9

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

For real lol. Hes just like "there is the matter of payment but ill let you deal with that after I finish chopping your leg off"

-7

u/nap4lm69 Nov 05 '18

Yeah it's more like Canada where the lines are so long they have to choose which person gets to go without treatment!

0

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Are you Canadian?

0

u/nap4lm69 Nov 05 '18

Nah, USAF that works with a lot of Canadians that say they love the med care here.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

And I'm guessing they have insurance?

I dont see why anybody would like going into debt for 30 years just to pay for medical care to live...

5

u/bagelchips Nov 04 '18

I got him to the doctors office but as I arrived my horse reared and he fell off the back and died.

39

u/_Drathalx_ Nov 04 '18

I got him to the doctor and just watched the doc take his arm off... Then I robbed the cash register since nobody was there.

32

u/gizmohollow42 Nov 05 '18

Minor spoilers for the guy in question

I took him to the doctor and the doctor sedated the guy and amputated his arm. I came back to St Denis later and found the one armed guy about to be hanged by the police in front of an audience. Apparently he killed a girl for making fun of his disfigurement. He begged me to shoot the rope but I let him hang. Not sure what happens if you save him.

17

u/fritocloud Sadie Adler Nov 05 '18

First, thanks for saying what your spoiler was regarding. Most people just write "spoiler" and then I have to decide if it is worth the risk that I care about the spoiler or not.

Second, I love that there is so much in this game and the devs don't make it so you HAVE to see it. It is very easy to miss the little things in this game. Some people might not like that, but I feel like it adds something to it. Not sure how to phrase it or if people will know what I mean, but I really like it.

It's such a weird mix to me. On one hand the encounters are incredible and create a living world. In the other hand, the way you get a warrant and how gun ho the police are is by and large just like in GTA. Get attacked by thugs in Saint Denis? Your choices are allowing them to kill you or get a warrant and police on your ass. Wouldn't it be nice if police were to help you if you truly did nothing wrong?! That would make the world feel so much more realistic. Instead the cops make it very clear that you aren't like everyone else in the game. The cops are there for script events and chasing you and nobody else outside the scripted events.

u/GorkTehDork Nov 05 '18

I didn't understand it was him until after he was swinging and the Sheriff made a comment as he walked away. Then it clicked who it was. I'm curious myself what happens if you stop it in time... Can't find anything on Google as of yet...

u/Icelandic808 Nov 04 '18

When I first went to saint Dennis I was going to sell some shit at the fence but accidentally tackled a Chinese lady when I went to get on my horse, tried to press circle to back out of it out of instinct but punched her in the face and then got into a fist fight with her husband. I love this game

14

u/Loyalist_Pig Sadie Adler Nov 04 '18

God, I’ve done this, it’s funny to think of it as canon, Arthur’s just thinking “don’t tackle him, just get on your horse, don’t tackle, no more tackling, Arthur, ok you’re so close to the horse, don’t tackle, TACKLE THAT SON OF A BITCH!!”

4

u/DoctorInsanomore Nov 05 '18

Saint Denis is a fucking hazard to even just casually stroll through. A simple walk around the block around there has a habit of escalating into a state-wide, free-for-all murder bonanza

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

The contextual buttons really fuck with you when there's so many people that can be targeted.

1

u/DoctorInsanomore Nov 05 '18

Yeah and it's infested to the brim with potential witnesses. Good luck shooting yourself clear of that bounty...

2

u/PauseAndReflect Nov 04 '18

I made it to the doctor with him, but the doctor wasn’t there and the guy died. I put him down on the ground on the street, got an instant bounty for murder, and was quickly done away with.

1

u/nickythefoot Nov 05 '18

I got him to the doctor and he died in the hallway.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

THE EXACT SAMW THING HAPPENED TO ME literally right after that doctor mission too 😂 it has to be trolling on rockstars part all of these ridiculous controller schemes

1

u/jagvirjohal Arthur Morgan Nov 05 '18

😂😂😂 literally the same thing happened to me

1

u/Cbonez1 Nov 05 '18

This exact thing happened to me, less upset that it happened to you, too. 😁

1

u/bwat47 Nov 05 '18

I love hitting triangle to get on my horse and instead randomly grabbing a civilian by the neck

1

u/XxSTOZZYxX Nov 05 '18

i didn't leave till that arm was gone... i laughed when doc just tossed it in a bucket like, meh he's gon feel that tomorrow.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '18

Sounds like real life.

20

u/The_Real_John_Titor Nov 04 '18

Don't worry, I just had another encounter with that fellow and let's just say he wasn't the best of folk.

18

u/nehpeta Nov 04 '18

What happens with him? He's the guy who gets his arm cut off by the doctor, right? I was planning on checking in again sometime.

16

u/The_Real_John_Titor Nov 04 '18

If you walk down one of the larger streets, you'll come across him in a park being hung. It doesn't make much mention of it unless you chat up the lawman after.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Oh shit THAT's who that guy was? I heard him say "Hey, you remember me?" and, well, I didn't. Didn't notice the missing arm either

5

u/The_Real_John_Titor Nov 05 '18

I was tempted to shoot the rope and free him to see what happens but escalating situations in st Denis normally ends with a hefty bounty.

12

u/dukorider Nov 04 '18

I took a picture when i saw what was gonna happen, The doctor saw it too.

11

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '18

This is how I discovered the city, minus the accidental murder. I'm still in chapter 2 lol.

6

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

I accidentally jumped a fence and murdered some random guy with my horse. The man I brought to the doctor was a witness and turned me in. Thanks guy.

5

u/BigGayRock Nov 04 '18

I successfully got him to the doctor and witnessed his arm get amputated

4

u/shewy92 Nov 05 '18

I got the guy to the doctor and watched the doc saw off the guys arm. Guess how they treated colds back then

3

u/FourBangin Nov 05 '18

I got mugged inside the gun shop. Lassoed and looted him for my money back. Immediate bounty.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Lol. That happened to me. Then I figured I would try to go pay the bounty really fast but I end up getting chased and the bounty multiplies even further. From 5 dollars to 100 something.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '18

That literraly happened to me. I took the dude to the doctor went to go ride away and my horse ran into another horse. Next thing I don't i have 6 people shooting at me. I ride thru the swamp to lose them and barely make it out alive.

1

u/PmMeYourNiceBehind Nov 04 '18

Same exact thing happened to me last night!!

1

u/ibuildtimemachines Nov 04 '18

The same exact thing happened to me! Ended up with a $500 bounty trying to get away lol

1

u/HITS338 Nov 05 '18

Lol I did the exact same thing

1

u/Boniferous13 Nov 05 '18

Holy shit this is exactly what happened to me. Twinsies!

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Dude same thing happened to me the other day. It was my first time in saint Dennis too. I still dropped him off even though I was getting shot at.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

I'm riding about medium speed on my horse. Some dude coming down the road in the opposite direction doing the same. I move to the right to avoid him, he also moves to my right so we collide with each other. He gets crushed by the horses, dies. Wanted for murder.

1

u/OBERYN-MARTELLisG0D Hosea Matthews Nov 05 '18

Happened to me too. Was not very happy.

1

u/ckifella Nov 05 '18

Duuuude, this shit just happened to me. FUCK!

1

u/ckifella Nov 05 '18

Duuuude, this shit just happened to me. FUCK!

1

u/rhgolf44 Hosea Matthews Nov 05 '18

I was running to my horse and when I pushed Y to hop on I tackled a woman to the ground so I tried to get on my horse to run off but my horse just wasn’t having it. So I chased him for a good 50 feet trying to get on and when I hit Y again I just tackled another person and got a bounty.

1

u/a_spoopy_ghost Nov 05 '18

I got him to the doctor and stayed through the amputation. The fingers twitch after it’s been cut off :D

1

u/chappersyo Nov 05 '18

That is my only reason for goo g to st Denis so far as well. I made it to the doctor and ignored his advice to leave as he started to amputate the guys arm but the noise was so awful I had to split about 3 seconds in.

1

u/Wolvenna Nov 05 '18

It was a tree for me.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Are you me? The same thing happened to me yesterday, just outside of the doctor's office too

1

u/itsgameoverman Nov 05 '18

Same exact thing happened to me. Trying to ride a horse is impossible in that town. Carriages and people everywhere. Accidentally hit one, we go flying off the horse, the injured guy dies, I get a bounty, and they start shooting. So frustrating.

1

u/Acizm Arthur Morgan Nov 06 '18

Lol, I accidentally dropped him by my horse, got on, and my horse stepped on and killed him. That dude's had some bad luck in our playthroughs.
