Honor system broken

[Daryl]

I feel the Honor system is broken

kill the horse of an enemy chasing you = - honor
surviving an ambush but looting their corpses = - honor
someone being a "witness" after lets say you get ambushed by 3 homeless guys in Saint Dennis and u knocked em out after they tried to knock you you then u try to stop the witness or risk dying from overzealous law officers = - honor


HOW THE HELL ARE WE ABLE TO GET POSITIVE HONOR TO FIX OUR NEGATIVE HONOR
WHEN 90% OF THE THINGS WE DO IN SELF-DEFENCE LEADS TO US LOSING HONOR.


feels like school all over again where when u stand up to bullies you get punished aswell.

There is no real reason to have high honor in online mode after you beat the high honor story missions at least once.

But if you really want to have high honor, you cannot use any dirty tricks like killing horses, looting is a bad thing too. High Honor is harder to play. That is the whole point of high honor. You can easily change your honor standing for money too.

High Honor is what it means, High Honor. You cannot do bad things if you want to have it.

I do plenty of bad things. I know exactly what i have to do to keep my good honor maxed. You just have to know what interactions in the game allow you to counter the bad you do. For instance the best for me is to feed my horse while i am riding. Horse care gets you good honor back. Turning in bounties alive, positive Free-Roam missions, Even hunting and shooting small birds will get you positive honor for being resourceful.

how to do it
cos when i transfer 50-100 dollars in the camp
i dont get any honor changes despite it goes "Honor+"

and even if it does go up its not even remotely significant

Sounds like you're playing Story Mode.

To raise your honor in Story Mode, do the following:

Go fishing, catch and release
Go to Saint Denis and say "Hi" to everyone you meet
Donate money to the blind old man whenever you find him.
Donate some money at the gang's camp. $10-$20 will do at a time
Help out strangers whenever you can
Do your chores in camp: chop wood, move hay bales to the horses, fetch some water, move grain sacks to the chuck wagon.

If you get into a scrape and get dinged with negative honor, rinse and repeat.

1. kills non wild animal or wild animal without proper equipment (e.g. explosive) always gets you negative honor, its animal cruelty simple as that

2. no you dont, you must be mistaken a stranger corpse. Bandits corpse doesnt get you negative honor

3. if you get punked by someone in town, ALWAYS use your fist, DO NOT use any lethal weapon, otherwise you'll get wanted for murder.
