The Micah Strawberry mission is terrible.

I went through all this ♥♥♥♥ to get high-ish honor, and now it takes it all away and forces a large-ass bounty on me. Thanks Rockstar!

I know what you are feeling, but trust me, the game is just like this. Don't worry about bounties, they are not linked to your honor. Killing lawmen chasing you does not affect your honor level. The bounties however, it works itself out over the course of the game. Either you will have plenty of money to pay it or the missions you do don't even care about the bounty.

When being out in the wild far away from the law, whatever you have in bounty does not matter what so ever.

Pay it off. Making money in the game is extremley easy. And so is gaining high honor. Just throw some fish back in the lake and say hello to folks.

All this ♥♥♥, you mean, like 3% of the game?
Arthur is a bandit and he will do bandit things throughout the whole story.

thats because micah is the character that is there to make things go wrong, hes the main influnce behind things going wrong in blackwater, and also a constant thorn in the group by always talking dutch into more and more trouble, and ends with his deeds being motivation for the final missions. he is there as the wild cannon that creates havok through greed and desire

I know this is a bit old but I'm having the same issue with this stupid ass mission. It created this huge bounty that I can't get rid of and every time I go into this huge area of the map (trying to get the upgraded satchel and need to go over there) I get killed by bounty hunters and my cash gets depleted further from dying. Is there some other way to get rid of this huge bounty from basically committing game forced mass murder in Strawberry?

I get that Micah is a bad guy that is meant to be a thorn in the side of the group or whatever...but being forced to slaughter an entire town and making your character KOS to a huge portion of the map is a bit overboard IMO.

I think there is a way to surrender to lawmen and go to jail for a time in single player.
Doesn't a bounty go away if bounty hunters kill you?

[дpyr (Droog)]

I've noticed that your bounty doesn't increase by killing bounty hunters, only innocent people and lawmen. You can just gun down the bounty hunter posse that comes after you every now and then, soon you'll have enough platinum belt buckles from the poor fellows that you can pay off your bounty.

After that mission I did the "surrender" thing. Went to camp and dropped off all my money, and went to Strawberry to run into the lawmen till they got angry. Took a few tries to get them to arrest me instead of just shooting. Spent some time, and bounty gone. You can get broken out of jail by some of the gang too.

For later missions I usually just pay off the damn thing, you'll make enough money is you spend it wisely.

They can break you out of jail? No way!

Yeah there's multiple different scenarios. If you don't have enough money to pay off the bounty someone will come break you out one way or another.

This ain't Open Range, boy. You're supposed to be an outlaw and these things happen.

[Joe Pro]

Oh boo hoo. You play as an Outlaw.... hello.

[Famix]

And the game punishes you for doing it as if it were your choice. It's almost as if punishing the player for something you force them to do is universally regarded as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game development
