If we can set our aerodynamic tiddies aside for a moment, I've got a gaming WTF. RDR2 again. The only other thing I've been playing lately is Hellsign, and that whole damn game is a WTF...
So I picked up a bounty for the leader of the Lemoyne raiders, dead or alive. I wanted to bring him in alive, because apparently you can get to watch him get publicly charged and then hanged, and that seemed like my kind of cozy weekday night entertainment.
Heading out to his last reported location, I discover that it's a rundown civil war fort. Well, they're nothing if not loyal to their theme...
So I tried to head in all sneaky-like, but the moment you set foot inside the fort, Arthur yells out about having a warrant for the dude's arrest, and everyone mobilizes for battlestations.
I immediately duck into cover around the barracks, and I can tell that although they know I'm here, they don't know *exactly* where I am... So they're just firing random shots to intimidate me. I try to use this to my advantage and hunker down, trying to work out my battle plan for doing this as cleanly as possible.
I notice that a couple red dots are running around the perimeter of the wall, as a couple raiders popped out to try and flank my position, whatever position that might be... But then I hear an "Oh God, no!" and one of the dots turns into a corpse. I'm a little uncertain what just happened, but I think the doofus managed to hurl himself over the side of the parapet in his excitement.
Shortly thereafter, a couple more people turn up dead. I'm still sitting behind a shack wondering what the hell is going on, when suddenly I'm treated to a short cutscene and a change of objective to "Pick up [raider leader]'s body".
Whuh-huh? Looks like he got shot. By one of his own men. In a firefight I wasn't even fucking involved in. Right after he shouted encouragement at his troops to not let me get him.
I reloaded a save from outside the fort. Then I went in guns blazing in order to save his life from his own idiot soldiers.
Never did get to see that hanging though... I ended up being fairly busy that night.
