do all the free roam challenges/titles youve earned reset when you pass into legend?
you keep your unlocked titles and characters
all challenges, mounts, and weapons are reset
Yeah, you lose your mounts, but you gain access to "Legendary Mounts" and apparently access to new mounts is accelerated compared to the initial level distribution. You keep your character access (hence my uber-hot caberet dancer) and your titles.
Played more of those ambient challenges in singleplayer last night, btw. I was camping out in Tall Trees, at the base of the snowy mountain, using Bait and hoping to get a bear to show up. The current Sharpshooter level's challenge is "Kill Three Bears with One Shot Each." I have gone through maybe 20 performances of "bait, run up the hill, check that sniper rifle is active weapon, shoot whatever shows up,
lather, rinse, repeat..."
The only time a bear has showed up was when I was skinning the kills I'd bagged, and it hit me from behind, and then again on the ground, killing me.
I dropped down to Manzanita Post and popped into its store to sell some of the unwanted animal skins, when some rough riders chased a stagecoach through town. Hoping to gain more Fame and Honor, I abandoned the sale just to run outside and clear out the baddies, but the whole group was already leaving town. When I dropped into Dead Eye to light up some targets, I guess I accidentally shot a good guy. In the ensuing hullabaloo a mess of lawmen showed up, and I was so pissed off that I just mowed them all down, dropping my Honor probably a total of 600-800 points, and racking up a sizable bounty.
So there I am, outside of Manzanita Post, looting the bodies of the lawmen and bounty hunters who had showed up to claim me and, WHAM, I'm struck from behind by a damned bear.
A bear, which I've been trying to get for FIVE REAL WORLD DAYS, and it's about to kill me.
I get just a little distance, try to get the bear as close to the center of my screen as possible, pull my Carcano rifle, and drop into Dead Eye. By the time I've got the bear in my sights its head takes up two-thirds of the scoped view. BLAM, down it goes. Dead Eye view ceases, the scope view falls away, and I see a boar charging toward me.
And another bear.
FFFUUU...If I was smart, I would have used Sceneman's "Horse Deed trick" to quicksave, but I panicked. I evaded through some trees, hoping it would slow the bear's approach, gulped down some Tonic to restore my Dead Eye meter, and spun around to try the same maneuver. This time, it's easy to get the bear right in the middle of the screen: it's already nearly on top of me. When I pull the Carcano and drop into Dead Eye, the thing's head is bleeding past every edge of the scope. BLAM.
Game saves, tells me Sharpshooter has progressed to the next level. The boar decided to leave in a hurry.
Looking back at all of it, I'm just stunned at what Rockstar San Diego has accomplished. This wasn't a set piece, a story mission, or a one-off of any kind. This is all action that occurs just from the wildlife, NPC, and currency systems they created to make the world more interactive, and they gameplay they've draped over those systems. I'm struck by the height of the bar they've set for open world games with RDR.
Now I guess since I'm already a wanted man, fallen from honor, I need to build up my bounty enough to get the US Marshals on me and get that pale horse 'cheev.
