When can I access stables or buy newspapers in single player?

[johnson1522]

I just started the PC version and I've never been able to interact with newspaper sellers despite having the "right click" icon show up in the lower right corner.

Likewise, I can't enter the stable. I finished a mission with Hosea where I had to enter and sell a horse, but all stables are closed when I approach them and I can't interact with the stable owner.

I've seen a lot of issues for the online version, but I'm guessing things are different in the single player.

Am I missing something?

I might be wrong but I think you still have to do another mission or two.

Alot of stuff is different on story mode, especially with horses. Story mode is more realistic. Your horses can die. But you can steal them and tame them and keep them and stuff like that.

You have to unlock stables and the fence at emerald ranch by doing missions with Hosea.

Doing the mission with Uncle or Reverend Swanson will unlock Hosea's first mission - the Bear Hunt. This mission unlocks the Stable (and you can then swap horses, sell horses, buy horses, etc.). The Bear's pelt is worth decent money at the "Trapper" (not the Butcher).

Hosea's second mission is started by being in camp in the early afternoon (around 2pm) - Ms. Grimshaw will approach with news about Hosea wanting to meet you out at Emerald Ranch - this mission unlocks the Fence and also nets Arthur with some good $$

The fences in Rhodes and Saint Denis are available from the beginning of chapter two. Although the mission with Hosea does open the fence at Emerald Ranch, it isn't necessary to sell valuables.

Interesting, I kept seeing other posts suggesting the stables open after the horse mission with Hosea. The game isn't great at explaining stuff.

Thanks for all the replies.

I just wanted to say I think you will like story mode. Its pretty much the same as GTA story and online mode. Story is the real thing.
