At chapter three and Sadie Adler wearing pants is freaking everyone the gently caress out. I also like how unashamedly capitalist the foreman of Appleseed Timber Co. is, "just because a couple of you got mauled to death by a pack of wolves does not mean you can stop working!"

Also, John Marston, so dumb that having wolves eat half his brain made him smarter.

I used the mining helmet whenever possible which ruined the mood of some of the more dramatic scenes but made that cougar one a lot easier since I no longer had to choose between 'hold light' and 'aim rifle'

Or you could just do what I did and just not do the mission and have fun with the game instead.

All the story missions are good because Arthur is an enjoyable guy to follow around and hear him comment on all the bullshit he has to deal with

I enjoy going fishing with Javier just to hear him and Arthur talk. But getting killed over and over again by an enemy who can kill you in one hit and is so fast it's almost impossible to shoot it is not something I think is good.

this game has more buttons than most flying simulators and there's a ton of overlap

you do eventually get used to it but even one hundred hours in i still occasionally punch my horse in the face

Having the same button for greeting and aiming your gun seems especially idiotic.

So I decided to try and was my clothes for blood by swimming in the water. Not only did it work but you could see blood floating in the water as you swam. I also shot a duck plucked it's feather and left it lying, few minutes after ravens landed and started to eat the remains.

Also, John Marston, still can't swim.

In one of Arthur's conversations with Tilly he talks about how he keeps killing animals for no reason.

So I visited the gunsmith in Rhodes and discovered that he had chained up someone in his cellar and dressed him as his deceased son:stare: .After freeing him the gunsmith was so distraught that he didn't mind that I stole everything that wasn't nailed down. I also caught some klansmembers lighting a cross and accidentally setting themselves on fire.

I've beaten this game twice and I don't think I've ever seen the klansmen. I assume they must only come out at night, my cowboy RP code usually has me going to sleep after sundown

Why? I only make Arthur sleep when he's tired. If I had made him sleep right after sundown I wouldn't catch all the campfire conversations for example. Like the one where Lenny talks about his father who was a slave.

So far the most insane thing that I've seen is a random encounter where I got invited into a house for dinner and drinks. The whole thing is fully rendered in cutscenes and has multiple options for how to go about the action. Arthur ultimately gets drugged, robbed, and thrown into a ditch full of corpses. Thankfully, you can march right back into the house, murder the psychopaths, and take back your money.

Yeah, I got to that house. But I knew about it because I had seen it on youtube so I just kept walking. What I wasn't prepared for to be lurking in the bayou was the night folk:stare:

I love how Arthur gives the shopkeeper poo poo after he criticizes Sadie for buying pants.

"Oh yeah? How many women have you had?"

I recently discovered that it's possible to lasso animals and get a perfect pelt without using a single bullet or arrow. So what I've been doing is to lure livestock away from any witnesses and then it's lasso o'clock.

Yeah, I spent a bit just going back and forth from Emerald Ranch to the trapper with horses loaded up with perfect furs I got by creeping in the night, in the dark and lasso stabbing the livestock.

I also just discovered that you can have literal caravans with pelts. I also found out that I had a horse that I'd accidentally bonded with lurking around. He just randomly showed up when I whistled for my main horse and now I've decided to max up his leves too. So far he's dumb as a brick and can't jump over the smallest obstacle. But we'll get there:unsmith:

Legendary pelts automatically goes to the trapper if you abandoned them. Basically you can't lose them.

Finished the main story:
Poor Buell.
I got the vision stag. It's a neat little touch that your spirit animal changes depending on your moral.
Guarma felt really pointless. At least with Mexico you meet Landon Ricketts and Rockstar tries to say something about revolutions and foreign intervention.
I really wish Sadie Adler was the main character.

Hunting is both fun and frustrating. It's frustrating that not every animal is in perfect condition and that you constantly have to change your weapons and ammo when you hunt animals. But when you finally nail a perfect pelt it feels really good. Hunting legendary animals is also fun because you really feel like you're tracking some mythic beast.
The eating and body weight system was extremely frustrating. In the end I felt that it was completely impossible to keep Arthur at even normal weight.
The hair growing system felt really good though. Having to grow your beard and hair was a nice way of making the character seem alive.
Rockstar really nailed the open world this time. It really feels like a living place. There's a ton off stuff to do unlike other open worlds that feels empty.
As usual the environments looks loving amazing while the actual humans looks stiff. It gets embarrassing when you compare the game to games like HZD or Uncharted 4 which is older and yet has better facial animations.
