I greatly enjoyed Tim Rogers' "Not a Review" of this game. Has spoilers, but I love his videos.

Pro click. The thing that happens at about 19:30 just about killed me

If you want to skip all of the intro mission stuff because he does lightly spoil some of that start at like 18:50

If your horse dies in the middle of nowhere do you lose all the poo poo it was carrying?

I heard you don't lose anything but I don't know how you get it all back. Maybe get a new horse and all your stuff will magically transfer to it.

Anyone else's PS4pro fans go in overdrive on 4k? Should I worry?

You should worry if the game closes with an error that says your PS4 is overheating, or if your PS4 literally bursts into flame. Otherwise the fans spinning up are working as intended.

I missed some on screen info about the horse. It said when you are stationary on the horse to hold R1 and press the square button, but I tried it and I dont see anything happen. Or maybe I remembered the controls wrong.

Think that makes your horse pointlessly rear up on its hind legs. You know the cowboy thing. Horse has to be at the first loyalty level or w/e

This is going to be the dumbest question in this thread, but I just wanted to get the 97GB downloading by the time I'm done working today, which apparently at 10AM still counts as a pre-order.

One of the items is "cash in story mode". I don't really want to cheat myself out of the single player experience with pay to win nonsense - is there a way I can just decline this?

There actually is a choice in one of the many options menus to decline those bonuses. You aren't given them at the beginning of the game so just pause as soon as you get the chance and turn it off.

Another question - is there any way to get to where I can draw a bow for more than about a second before my feeble cowboy muscles make my aim go flying around the screen? Is there any way in general to make aim less shaky, especially with a bow, even before it strains his poor muscles?

Also how do I stop ruining perfect pelts? I thought headshots with a bow would do it but they're all getting knocked down a star as soon as I kill the animal.

i haven't done it yet but as i understand it you need to study animals and then check the compendium for tips on how best to kill them. i think a lot of them probably require poison arrows

if you equip guns while you're on your horse you automatically take them with you when you get off. it's like setting your loadout. so you don't have to manually retrieve them on foot every time

Not sure you can actually steal most of the really valuable stuff, like guns and clothes from their respective stores and horses from the stables. Most people don't carry more than like a dollar on them. Best you can hope for is a nice pocket watch to fence eventually, and that's only if you also murder them so you can dig through their pockets.

I also am interested and can't figure out animals. I want my sweet trapper clothes, but how do i find "perfect" pelts?. I tried lassoing the deer and knifing them, I tried shooting with arrows, in the head, etc. but nothing seems consistent. I have been skinning everything in the field, so I can take multiple pelts at a time. I feel like I should just be able to one shot them in the head with anything and be fine, but apparently the game doesn't like that.

Animal has to be 3 stars and they need to die in one shot by the method described in the "show info" panel or in the compendium. If a 3 star animal can be lasso'd you get perfect pelts from the knife kill.

I get a lot of perfect pelts from wolves by just shooting them with regular arrows instead of poison ones so idk what's up with that

My experience is the opposite. I'm only in ch. 2 with just like 3 missions done and I'm already most of the way to the right side of the bar. Feels like I get honor from everything I do. Just saying hi to people gets you some.

Are any fish, or animals, or fishing equipment gated behind plot missions besides the one that unlocks fishing?

Some of the rifles you need for certain birds? and extra big animals? seem to show up later in the story.

You don't get it from the story I don't think but you do need to find instructions for poison arrows before you can start crafting them. They're out in the wild somewhere but the fence in the big city also just sells them.

I'll kill people who look at me funny and if the law comes before I'm done I'll shoot them too. All you gotta do is not stir up so much trouble at your current camp site area that you're locked out of the stores at the current town (if you care) but even that takes quite a bit of murdering.

If you can't buy a secondary (off hand) weapon then you probably haven't unlocked the ability to dual wield yet.

I have, it just showed up when I bought an offhand holster from the trapper. Didn't come with any tutorials or anything so it's a bug I guess. I haven't done the mission that's supposed to give it to you yet
