Ha, have I got the video for you. Look at me simply trying to go from point A to point B... My ass horse veers to the right instead of left where I'm trying to get him to go since there is more room on that side. Bump, crash, other guy gets mad, starts shooting, then I'm scrambling to clean up not to get a bounty. I sped up the aftermath for comedy value.
No real spoilers there, just some running along a road trying to avoid a bounty. I pawned the final wagon for $40!
I'm still so sidetracked that my gang came looking for me and asked me when I would be coming back. Still too many interesting things to find, I'll get there when I get there, leave me alone! I ran out of markers to flag structures on the map I want to investigate further. Most places you visit get a description on the map, however not all. The same abandoned gold mine has tricked me 3 times now. Too bad you can't add comments on the map yourself. There is some weird stuff hidden around the map, worth checking everything out!
There seem to be only 2 type of people in the game, dead or soon to be dead. Outside towns people just open fire on you for trying to talk to them. At a stable I was simply studying the horses behind the barn and the idiot starts shooting me. Apparently you can still buy stuff from a dead stable owner. Oh and beware of crocs. I got eaten 5 times today, too lazy to go around, I'll risk it. Chance of success, 20%, yet with a bit of luck you spawn on the other side anyway :)
My horse died again jumping off a 3 foot cliff. You find plenty horse revival tonics so that's easily fixed. He seems to have gotten better at avoiding trees, still trips a lot. It's a race horse that can't handle his own speed.
There's still so much I must have missed though. I've only found 25 or so cigarette cards so far, got a couple treasure maps yet can't make any sense out of them and tons of flora and fauna missing from my compendium. There are more places to get into yet I suspect those to be involved in a story mission at some point. Couple more small spots to investigate and then really back to the story, maybe.
I just love the atmosphere in the game, can't get enough of it.
And yep, you named my two favorite story missions so far. Why do they work so well? Because you don't get taken out of the immersion by having to shoot 50 goons spawning in from every direction!
