I must say that RDR2 really shines on the exploration front. There are so many cool things to find off the beaten path. If you like exploration heavy open world games like Elder Scrolls and Fallout you will love RDR2 I think. Here is some of what I found so far while exploring: 

I guess i should pay more attention to the actual houses around the wilderness. I tend to avoid them as in my experience just looking at someone sets them off and they'll start shooting at you. This game has the unfriendliest npcs yet.

I've been enjoying nature instead. I took a Canoe up the Dakota river until the falls while gawking at the wildlife scattering away or swimming along. Then I went back down, a lot faster with the flow of the water, and crossed flat iron lake in a storm at night, to map how far you can get on the lake.Just a bit under the letters LAKE on the map until your canoe suddenly falls apart and leaves you treading water in the middle of nowhere. Save game, load game, magically back on land.

With a new canoe I paddled up stream, past Saint Denis, around the island, further up North, almost reaching the town at the edge of the map before I got an inch too far in the middle of the river and my canoe fell apart yet again. The weather system is amazing. And no witnesses on the water, no risk of bounties :)
