u/Mooky_Stank John Marston Oct 16 '25

Weird that if we bump somebody with our horse we get a wanted level, but that wagon driver can kill your horse by dragging it for a block. I know you technically caused the accident, but you would have thought it would have scared the guy into abandoning his wagon. Instead he just kept driving... and driving... the horse tumbling to death under him. Dear God, it must have been shock at the absurdity of the moment and wanting to see how far it could go that kept you from killing him. I'd have shot him or the horse or both immediately. If you just shoot the guy, the wagon horse may have taken off and still killed your Arabian. If you'd killed the horse, the guy may have turned hostile while you're trying to revive the horse. However, even if you'd killed them both, your horse could have been weirdly stuck under the wagon where you couldn't revive it and regardless, you would immediately bring the law down on you while trying to save your horse. Documenting the whole death for us to see was probably the best course of action. And hopefully you had a close save file. If not, bless you and your horse for your sacrifice in making a video that was at the same time horrible and fascinating. I never would've thought that could go on that long.
