Damn the technology was faster at those times than it is now, its literally instant.
Imagine you leave the place and behind next corner see other lawmen and they know you killed them.
Lol what? At the start of the clip there are corpses everywhere (look at the Xs on the map) and the player already has WANTED in the top right. It's entirely possible they just slaughtered a gold mining operation and these lawmen heard the gunshots and came over, already suspicious.
Then the player PULLS THEIR GUN and the lawmen become hostile. The lawmen are marked as in "Interrogation" mode until the player draws their gun... which makes perfect sense.
It's also entirely possible the in the
previous hours of gameplay that the player/Arthur has committed numerous other crimes and they're already being hunted.
That's speculation right?
In two previews the previewers committed crimes and noted that WANTED doesn't activate if there's no lawmen/multiple witnesses nearby. In one case, the previewer stabbed a shopkeeper and a rando who happened to be walking past spotted it and ran for the sheriff. In another instance, the player shot someone and threatened a nearby witness (a woman). She said she wouldn't tell anyone and ran off... then she told the sheriff anyway and the player got in trouble.
Presumably in either of these cases if the player(s) had been more careful the WANTED system would never have been invoked
All this chat should be happening in the Previews thread... Where all this info is readily available
They can assume. But i hope they ask before they shoot. Would be so fucking awesome.
Can't wait to play this game.
They can. In the leaked clip, the player could have targeted the lawmen
without drawing his gun and picked "Defuse" as a dialogue choice, basically to try and blag his way out of the encounter.
Other previewers have said this has got them out of sticky situations, although it's unlikely it would have helped in that specific case
