Outside of the obligatory dropping of women on train tracks...
What's the some of the most screwed up and ethically wrong things you've done in this game? Yeah, I know there's been a ton of these threads, but they're fun as hell.
For me, I managed to trample a chicken on Macfarlanes farm. Made the squawk sound and some feathers shot out.
Or maybe the overwhelming desire to push hookers down the stairs at the pub in Armadillo.
Or kicking just about every dog I see.
But I think the best one was when I did a bounty, and neutralized the posse who was chasing me. One guy left, disarmed, I lasso/hog tie him, then dropped him into that big river going down the middle of the map. He sank like a stone.
I galloped over a dog and killed it by accident - then I got a wanted level and chased out of Armidillo.
I also happened across two guys shooting at another guy, so I shot them. turns out they were Marshalls chasing a crim. I lost some honour points for that.
Everytime I leave my save house in Armidillo, I run too close to the walls upstairs and knock the cow head skulls off.
I've also accidently shot a woman being hung, when I was meant to shoot the rope.
When you start playing as Jack after john dies you get the Stranger mission "Remember my Family." I went to the guys wife and got the information from her then killed her. When I got to his brother I did the same thing. Finally ended up killing that bastard who killed John. I played all through the game being the good guy and then just decided to execute his entire family. I as a little bitter.
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies.
Probably killing the people at the random camps you encounter, or most of them. I sometimes leave one alive to drag to death by the rope.
I also went to the ranch other than the MacFarlane one, the one there was a massacre in, and made a new massacre. I tied up all the people inside the house and executed them.
I did the same as SulfurMonkey as well, but I wished they were all together at the time.
I've done along of sick and twisted things in the game lol... but only one made me actually laugh hysterically.
Near Thieves Landing, you do a stranger mission for an old man who wants you to collect flowers for his wife. Its their 50 year anniversary. You collect the flowers and return them and you get invited into the cabin only to find...
*********** SPOILERS ************
His wife has been dead for years and is a rotting, green corpse. I take out my knife and try to stab her and, (I'm not joking here), her head falls off and rolls across the floor... hahaha classic
"What’s a 50 year old lollipop man doing knowing fúcking karate?"
Okay well, once I completed the final mission and killed Edger Ross I was on my way back to the house hoping to be able to kill his wife when I got one of those guys trying to steal my horse, so I hogtied him, and took him with me, and when I got to the house and noticed that the wife was gone I took my anger out on the poor guy, I put him on the floor in the house, walked out and then shot the light which exploded and set him on fire :D
The last time I tortured somebody... they didn't even have chainsaws...

haha - that's quality, might replay the game just for that.
I tried to fix the f'd up thing with that guy and his horse - as soon as I returned the horse I killed the guy and took the horse...when I read the final edition of the newspaper it said that he had married it though, which is disturbing on many levels.

Actually her head rolled off when I bumped into her, no knofe stabbing is necessary. The funny thing about it when it happens is the elderly husband's response. He whirls around and says "oh my god" and just stands there awkwardly as if he's only just figured out she's dead, but he doesn't do anything. He just stands there. Funny stuff.

DAMN I wish I'd have thought of that. LOL. There were other people in the room so to make it funny I pretended I was freaked out, ran out of the cabin, and rode for miles before I set up camp.

Did the same as SulfurMonkey, except once or twice I shot the light above Mrs. Ross and watched her burn. I've been through the game several times (I LOVE this game!) and I don't always kill Ross's family. It's not their fault he's a jerk.
I got mad that I was losing at poker so I got on my horse and threw a stick of dynamite at the table in Blackwater, killing everyone nearby, then I took off. I've also thrown fire bottles at poker tables if I got mad. I don't like to lose.
Killed the guy who wants the deed to the Pleasance House so I can get the deed back and keep the place.
Pushed non-law people who are in my way, even if it's down the stairs.
Have dragged several people to their death or hogtied and slit their throats just because they made a comment I didn't like when I was in a bad mood. I have anger problems.
"Yes Sir. That was the worst accident I ever seen."
Curious, how do you do the spoiler blocking thing? In the meantime I'll just do it the old fashioned way:
*SPOILER*
On the mission where Jack is tracking down Ross, I shot the bureau agent execution style with a pistol. When I got to his wife house, I got the information from her, lassoed her, and dragged her behind my horse in the shallow end of Lake Don Julio until she died. When I got to the brother, I beat the crap out of him for a couple minutes, shot him in the knee, then did an execution move with my shotgun right in the face.
I was disappointed I couldn't do anything like that to Ross. The fact they force you into a duel kind of pissed me off.
Also I reloaded the mission where you help out the pregnant girl and shoot that scottish dude. I was pretty pissed at her, so I put a bullet right through her preggo stomach in the church. Of course I had to reload AGAIN, I need to get that 100 percent.
Now that I've completed the main story I've been doing some pretty messed up things like everyone else here. Thanks for the ideas as well folks! One of my favorites so far is to lasso someone, drag them into an area with lots of wolves, shoot out their legs and just watch an wait for the wolves to take the bait lol.
Also I kneecapped a gang member yesterday but he still kept on shooting at me whilst on his knees so I disarmed him of his repeater an he decides to pull a revolver out an still carry on shooting despite having been shot in the legs an one arm. I was just about to enter deadeye an unload a full clip from good ol Henry when the guy finally sucumbed to his wounds dropped the pistol an remained on his knees with his head slumped forward slightly. Never expected the NPCs in this game to put up such a fight! Great stuff though.
Lol init! It was a proper wtf moment as most NPCs try crawl away after getting popped in both legs alone. I was like "you're still alive....AND still up for a fight!?"
@Fwank, try using pistols or revolvers that's what I used when it happened as I'm trying to get the Hail of Bullets trophy. Otherwise though you're right, most NPCs will try to crawl away an die shortly after being shot in both legs, it's only been gang members that have put up a fight after being shot multiple times. I could of sworn it took as least 4-5 shots to kill one gang member in Nosalida last night. I shot him in the arm an leg whilst in dead-eye and running for cover, when I got behind the wall I could see him crawling away an the Mexican army were still shooting him, looked bloody brutal!
Oh and I used a nun to get the Dastardly achievement. I felt kind of bad until I saw the train hit her, then it was just funny.
I tried to use a nun to get that achievement too. Must have encountered the only nitro nun in the game though, because I could not catch the bint, like lightning, she was! :)
You can't directly aim at them, but if you use your shotgun, and aim directly next to them, the shell will still hit a little. I stood outside Jack's window while he laid in bed reading, pointed my gun near his face, shot, he didn't die, instead got up and ran around the house screaming, but there was blood all over his pillow. Testing out if he could actually die, I finished the job inside the house before they made me restart from my last save point.
With Abigail, I shot at her while she was cooking dinnner, she ran out of the house screaming and kept running and running just crying and screaming. It kind of reminded me like a horror movie scene. I just ran after her and chased her out of Beecher's Hope, towards the Great Plains and eventually caught up to her and killed her, again with the shotgun. Restarted me again to the previous saved level.
Another one I did was with the Funny Man side mission. That guy really annoyed the heck out of me, always getting caught. Then finally when he decides that lifestyle isn't for him and he's got to get out of there, and I finally got that "Funny Man Completed" notice at the bottom, thats when I knew that a Shotgun Blast to the head while he was running away was in order.
And with the Poppycock side mission where you deliver opium to that other guy. I chose to give the guy back the $1,000, but after I got the mission complete, I hogtied, took him to the middle of nowhere, shot him in the head execution style, and just looted back the $1,000.
Honestly, I know these make me sound terrible, but aside from these, my honor was actually as perfect as can be.
well my newest act of cruelty made my previous one look tame, i roped and hog tied a cowboy and took him aways out of armadillo and laid him on a streach of railroad tracks and waited for a train to come and watched him get turned into ground beef.
I did the obligatory train squashing, but the worst thing I ever did (twice) was, going to Las Hermanas, approaching a nun sleeping in a bed, taking out my knife, just before a prompt came up on screen. "O for Stealth Kill". Yep, I slit the throat of a sleeping nun.
my most recent acts of cruelty, the first one was weird, i was in armadillo and i walked up behind a cowboy who was on a horse and he turned around in his saddle and pulled out his six shooter and shot at me, so i pulled out my rifle and shot and killed him. the second one was in benedict pass i was there to use my pardon to take care of a bounty that was on my head after that i went into house and i did a stealth kill on a man who was a sleep in bed (i slit his throat) and what happened after i left that house was funny, i saw a cowboy enter it so i followed him in and when he saw the dead body was funny he just acted like it was nothing new and just yawned and turned around and left the house, my third one was cruel i was about to cross the rio grande into mexico when i saw a man at a camp i lassoed him and hog tied him and put him on my horse and i rode to the rio grande and threw him in and let him drown, after he drowned i shot him in the back.
I dragged some guy behind my horse near some cliffs, then I turned my horse so it was running by the cliff face and let go of the lasso. The guy just flew off the cliff!
Who can take you higher than a twin peak mountain blue?
tonight i killed someone by accident in red dead redemption, i was in theives landing in my home, first i shot out my light (since there's no light switch that i've seen) and i decided to open a window by shooting at it with my shotgun (since i don't use it much) and i somehow tookout a lantern that was on a building a cross the dirt street from my home and it set someone on fire (because i kept hearing their screams as they died) and i had john marston go outside and i saw the fire die out.
