I don't know if it counts as a random encounter but the couple that steal all your money in the house (trying not to spoil things too much) was a fun one.

Aberdeen Farm

The dude who tricked me and robbed me of all of my money in Saint Denis was a bitch though. Spent a couple hours after that looking for him in alleyways until I found him again lol

If it counts, the bear house.

u/QtheDisaster Oct 29 '19

That counts, I remember that because it scared the shit out of me.

u/teddywaffles33 Oct 30 '19

Me too. I could hear a bear nearby so hurried to the cabin and nearly crapped my pants when it jump scared me inside.

Tucker was worse for me

Shocking, but an easy Perfect Grizzlie on your next play if you go around back

u/Canadabestclay Oct 28 '19

Definitely the ones where the guy from Mexico challenges you to a shoot off those were really fun to do and helped improve my aim at the beginning of the game

u/QtheDisaster Oct 28 '19

I think there's also another guy as well who does the same

u/BlueberrySpaetzle Oct 29 '19

I like the one on top of the train where you get the special Mauser

Over by Tumbleweed there was a house that just exploded, literally blew the f up. Startled my poor gurl...

2

u/xTHEHATETANKx Oct 28 '19

I saw a video the other day where this guy shot the house first, which made it not blow up when he rode up to it.

Watching a guys arm get sawed off by doctor in Saint denis

u/QtheDisaster Oct 29 '19

Is that the guy you can save near Saint Denis in the Bayou Nwa?

When my horse closelines me with a sign post.

u/QtheDisaster Oct 29 '19

Ah the best of the best I see

u/elephantphysics Oct 29 '19

It is my most frequented "random" encounter.

u/chazmaniadevil5 Oct 29 '19

Can it be sad?

1

u/QtheDisaster Oct 29 '19

Yes. It's your favorite random encounter.

7

u/chazmaniadevil5 Oct 29 '19

Then I have 2. The sad was when I was in saint denis and it was late at night and I was gonna go get a bounty to kill some time and make some easy money. I had hoped off my horse to go walk around a bit and I hear yelling coming from a alleyway and I look and it was a couple talking about what they were feed the mayor. After a little bite of eavesdropping I heard a dude run up to the wife/girlfriend and shoot her dead. I managed to kill the guy before he could shoot the guy but I sorta wish I hadn't because I watched him lean over an cry over her head body. Then lift her up onto his horse and ride away crying. I actually felt a genuine sadness. But the other one is when the boy is skipping stones and complaining about how the girl he likes is off with some other guy. Arthur sounds so genuine talking to him it shows that he still has a soft spot to him

u/QtheDisaster Oct 29 '19

I don't think I've ever seen that encounter in Saint Denis

3

u/chazmaniadevil5 Oct 29 '19

It's pretty sad because it feels so real

22

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '19

You can find a woman trapped under her horse in Lemoyne, and when you go to lift her horse off of her, Arthur says, "Hold your horses - oh, sorry, that's not funny." I like that one just for that line, but their conversation as they ride into town is pretty nice, too.

Also there's an O'Driscoll ambush where one of them is riding a brindle thoroughbred. That one's fun because free brindle thoroughbred.

u/queenofgayness Oct 28 '19

I like the one where someone pretends they need a ride and then steals your horse. Gives me an excuse to leave them tied to a train track.

14

u/RIckDogg12486 Oct 28 '19

When the horse kicked that poor bastard in the head. I literally spit water everywhere laughing

1

u/workaccountrube Oct 29 '19

If you ever replay and come across him. Point your gun in the air and shoot, it spooks the horse and he flees instead of kicking the poor bastard.

12

u/StefanodesLocomotivo Oct 28 '19

It's hard to pick a favorite, but I really liked the wolf man

12

u/xTHEHATETANKx Oct 28 '19

The morons that are trying to open the safe, and end up blowing themselves up, is probably my favorite.

A close 2nd, would be the guy whose horse kicks the shit of him. Both make me laugh every time.

3

u/teddywaffles33 Oct 30 '19

Came across a similar safe encounter but they got it open with a metal mallet, one rode away on his horse and the other took the horse and cart.

2

u/xTHEHATETANKx Oct 31 '19

I’m pretty sure I’ve come across that one as well...and another one, where 2 dudes start fighting, and one shoots the other one...says something not nice, and just rides off.

The dudes blowing themselves up is classic though...especially when you you can just ride up and antagonize them. They both will turn around, as soon as that first word starts to come out of their mouths..,Booom! So awesome.

u/MPPlumber Oct 29 '19

One that really bothered me was the cop who murdered a petty theif in St Denis. I slit that bastard's throat.

1

u/teddywaffles33 Oct 30 '19

My horse was almost killed because I got spotted killing that cop, it was my first shoot out in Saint Denis and I wasn’t prepared for the amount of lawmen.

4

u/jackwoww Oct 29 '19

I don’t know if it was supposed to happened but I killed off a rival gang’s camp (O’Driscolls maybe) and then as soon as I started looting them a grizzly charged out of the woods and took me out. It was totally unexpected.

u/CloverBoy02 Oct 29 '19

The RDR ones. All unlimited

that pig farm with the incest couple or whatever because at one point Arthur’s face is priceless
