I also experience this problem. I have exactly 11 out of 17 slots filled, so I certainly have enough inventory space in my provisions tab. Perhaps it's a limit on stacks of game meat? In any case, I'm totally put off from hunting because even an almost empty satchel isn't enough to harvest all the parts of whatever large herbivore I shoot.

So far, all in all this game is pretty bad. Everything I've tried to do so far that is not main quest related is plagued with bugs and jank. Maybe I'll focus on whatever the main story is supposed to be and hope some big patches hit, and fast.

Not jank, necessarily. Apparently witnesses can recognise your outfit. Not your horse though, from what I've read.

Then what is the point of a bandanna? You can't change your clothes on the fly, and I'd recognize a horse faster than 1 out of 10 filth caked outdoor ruffians.

I get the game has been out for fewer than 60 hours, but nothing so far is at all intuitive, mostly frustrating, and all of my sidequests and non-main quest endeavors have been Janked to the max.

I can't get over the loving scale and atmosphere of this game. Like, everything from RDR that made me amble everywhere for hours helping strangers, looking behind rocks and in burned out buildings and towns....it's all there, but better.

It's loving stunning.

How do I get perfect quality rabbit pelts? Shooting them with a regular arrow ruins it, and shooting them with a small game arrow doesn't kill them and also ruins it.

Read the compendium. Its not arrows, its varmint rifle. Each animal has a specific type of weapon that preserves its pelt. Also use the binoculars to check the quality of the animal before you go hunting (kinds hard to do with rabbits, but works really well for deer, bison, things you can see from afar).

I am really loving the hunting in this game now that i have a general idea of the systems. Packing supplies and going to the middle of nowhere, reading up and preparing for a specific target, tracking and finally getting that perfect hit (dead eye shows the locations that will give you a instant kill with animals, which if you dont hit will reduce the pelt quality and wound it). Just plopping a camp and leaving your horse there with coffee brewing while you go hunt feels so good.

The bandanna is a good idea, you don't want people immediately knowing who you are. But if there's a shopkeeper who just sold you what you're wearing then the bandanna won't help you as much as if you're new to town for example.

Yeah, you can. You can store up to 4 outfits besides your custom one on your horse through your wardrobe at camp or at a hotel room. You can swap on the fly from the Horse menu.

Also, the bandana does work for small crimes, but if you've been wearing the same outfit in the area of ages you'll get identified on larger crimes. I changed my outfit before robbing a back room and they didn't know who I was. Looks like you can get away with it quite a bit.

Also, in your horse menu you can find a full face mask rather than a bandana. Not sure what the difference is though?

Use your binoculars to study (R1) the animal and see what quality it is. Then kill it with the appropriate weapon. Varmint rifle or small game arrows for smaller animals. Rifles with scopes or poison arrows for the big ones.

The inventory is based on stacks. So before you upgrade your satchel you can only carry 5 of each type of meat. However, when you cook the meat you can use spices/plants to cook five stacks of each taste. Sell, cook or donate the raw meats whenever you get the chance and you shouldn't have a problem with space

You can also study the animal just by looking at it as long as you are within a certain distance. Tagging animals with a binocular also allows you to tell the animal tracks apart when in the weird detective mode.

you can also examine an animal before you kill it to figure out the 'base' quality of the people before you start filling it with holes.

I think it's animal fat and / or stacks of meat that the game is talking about when you get that message. You can only carry 5 of each type of uncooked meat. EVentually you can upgrade your satchel to hold more body parts

to the guy that posted you can reset bounties by just turning yourself in to authorities, thank you. I snuck into town and bought a bunch of upgrades, had next to no money, then just waltzed up to a lawman and put my hands up and surrendered. spent a night in jail and now i'm a goodboy.

I had a couple of random encounters with the KKK, and they were exactly the kind of thing that can help me love this game I want to love so much.

That mission must be a weird one because apparently, in my experience, if you take too long to get an oil tank (no idea if it's measured in in-game time or missions completed) John gets fed up with waiting and gets one himself, and gives you poo poo for it.

I know with the gun store, you can ask to see the gun and he brings it out and puts it on the desk. Maybe it's the same with the general store. I don't remember there being a button but I wasn't interested in clothes or trying them on at the time.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I'm not really far enough in the story to speak to the writing overall, but:

This game has, by FAR, the best dialogue of any R* game I've played. In the past R* got praised for their writing, but the conversations felt terrible. Completely disjointed. Like two complete strangers talking for the first time and their lines were each written by two different writers rooms on opposite coasts.

This time the people on story missions speak like they know each other and when Arthur talks to a stranger you can tell he's never talked to them before. It's like they hired somebody who has actually experienced a human conversation before.
