That’s Iron Dwarf’s work (of MuscleMag fame).
He has talented little lady fingers.
"The biggest key is the BLUE AND RED BARS on the side of the screen. If your blue bar is smaller than their red bar, you lost no matter how many shots you take.
Drawing first gives you a boost to the bar but apparently less accurate shots. Letting them draw first gives them the boost but your shots are more accurate. I never noticed any real difference in accuracy. Draw first to get the little boost to your bar.
When it says draw, use L2 or down then up on the RS. This will bring up the cross hairs for you to target them. Now you move the RS to where you want to shoot them. You can paint them with the RB or the RT, it works both ways. Now WATCH THE CROSS HAIRS, they will flash red to white…red being not a good shot or no shot at all, and the smaller and whiter they are when you paint them, the more accurate the shot and also affects your blue bar, so watch the bar when you paint the target.
You don’t need to unload your clip either, if you want to do one shot, just do one shot but the key is that your blue bar has to be larger than their red bar with that one shot. Paint the targets, watch the bar and then just wait for the dead eye to end, and as long as your bar is bigger you win.
Disarming them gets you like 100 fame and 200 honor. Just target their shooting arm and that usually fills your bar pretty full."
Hope that helps Magic. Dueling is awesome when you put like 5 rounds into the guys face! This is from a user on the Gamefaqs boards BTW.

Excellent! Thanks. I’ve only managed about 10 hours worth of gaming time and only been in like two duels. Are they comparatively rare occurrances?
Also, I pulled the sick dastardly achievement. Was it perverted that I “saved” this woman only to crush her under a train?
They happen a decent amount - usually you are approached in a town, but yea - not that often.
Hey Skynett, to me this has been the most indepth character development I have seen in a game of this type. What are your thoughts, so far just meeting Seth, Irish, Dickens, Bonnie have all gone pretty deep.
My 10 year old opened up the Mexico map before me.

Is he out of school right now. Also he does have the attention span of a two year old, we can play this for months he will put it down in weeks.

Yes - the story and characters are top-notch. Really impressive how cinematic everything is. The character development is awesome - all the people you meet are interesting and have real emotional impact through their dialogue and actions.
Irish is hilarious - I also just got to Mexico myself…

I didnt get to play all weekend and I will probably be moving this weekend. Do you get to mexico after you get the gatlin, which I have? just curious, I really plan to drag this game out since i dont see anything until the fall coming out.
Yea - one or two more missions and the first act culminates with the assault on Fort Mercer to try and take down Williamson…after that it’s off to Mexico.
And lemme tell you, that mission is FUCKING AMAZING! You just get to rain down massive destruction with the gatling gun…lol…

Cool, will look forward to it.
if i had a dime for every time a cougar killed my horse, i could buy an actual horse.
There’s going to be a short film done entirely with the in-game engine for RDR on fox this saturday at midnight if anyone’s interested.

Fort Mercer mission was incredible. The gatling felt so good I re-loaded and replayed that mission three times.
Cougars are little bitches. I’ll win one of these days.
There’s no better feeling than hog-tying a dude, putting him on your horse and then shooting him in the head, execution style. But that’s just me.
This game makes me want to travel to america again.

I can’t find any! I found one and killed it with my hunting knife for the first half of the fifth master hunter challenge, but I can’t seem to find another one.
Wolves are a bloody pain - I get attacked by three of them, kill those three, and as I get off to skin their carcasses, another six or so turn up! Bastards.

see i can’t find any either, but they find me, especially when i’m scoping in on birds or something in the distance.
all i hear is RRRROWWWW and i’m flopping around like someone hit me with the cerebral palsy stick.
I could lose a week on online playing alone. I need a headset.

Really? I’ve gotten lucky so far that they haven’t been able to kill my horse, but fuck. One time I was surrounded by 5 and BARELY had any Dead Eye. That was intense.

here’s the one i have. you can plug it in for stereo surround. it’s accurate enough that footsteps behind you actually sound like footsteps behind you. it’ll give you a surprising edge in FPS’s.
