Yeah I thought the opening was great. It reminded me of The Hateful Eight. Very atmospheric. Enjoyed the quietness and seclusion of the whole chapter.
So, any feedback on the drugstore hidden room? Ways to rob it and make a clean escape? Someone must have done this...
It only bothers me if it forces me to re-load and then I'm far outside town etc... it doesn't happen that often though, so I can live with it as a by-product of such a detailed game world.

Can't raise my camp supply. I donate like crazy but still everything is low. Still chapter 2.
Why are people spending their money when they have a bounty? I'm still able to do what I want in towns and I have multiple bounties and over $3K in funds.
Do you guys also have the feeling of missing something when playing the good guy? So far I never robbed someone or did more harm then needed. I also mostly don't want to involve myself into trouble during travel.
I also paid off my bounty after one mission (thanks Micah) so now I don't have enough money to expand the camp and poker doesn't earn you enough.
I guess I should not try to be myself in this game. lol
i even spied on the doctor in Valentine but didn't want to crash into his back room business

Use the ledger (do Strauss' mission in Ch 2 to unlock it if you haven't yet) to refill the ammo and provisions/medicine reserves. For food just keep donating animal parts/carcasses to Pearson at the butcher counter in the camp until the food supply status changes.
How do the core drain percentages work? If my stamina drain rate is +5.35 percent, is that good or bad? I would think bad, but the game seems to say otherwise.
For example, I'm currently underweight which it says should benefit stamina. But it shows that plus percent on the drain rate.

So, I surrendered to the sheriff once because I thought that would be cheaper than paying the bounty but I had to pay the exact amount after. Any other way to get rid of bounties?
It is so annoying that the second you commit any kind of crime (or even just bump into someone because of the clunky controls) the law will immediately know where you are and swarm you with no other options but to kill them all.
It's really unrealistic (and infuriating) that every single lawman you encounter knows about your bounty or wanted status immediately.
There has to be a delay for the AIs to get this information or a chance for them not to recognize you at all. I don't understand why in a game about outlaws, that even has an honour system, you are still heavily punished by behaving like one.
Another annoyance: There is a walking speed between walking and sprinting that is only available with the standard controls. I can't use these because I need to use the camera and therefore the right stick while running around.
I'm ok with the shooting even though it is more of a chore than fun (maybe that's what R* wants because realism? lmao). Maybe I'll try free aim though because the lock-on is super annoying, especially with moving enemies because it makes leading your shots almost impossible.
All in all, I'm having fun with the game and think most of the sim elements are cool and immersive. Some stuff takes way to long though, like eating provisions making your satchel close or cooking each peace of meat individually.
The mentioned issues really detract from the experience though, not even mentioning the atrocious PS4 Pro version that makes nearly everything look blurry and out of focus.

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I'll repost what's on Reddit: You should be using eagle eye indoors to see all lootable items. Then when you open a drawer, hold square to pick up all items inside.

Yeah this happened to me too. Unloaded into 1 NPC at close range with a shotgun before I could move the cursor to another enemy.
And it was during a random ambush which I hate because I always get killed in the open when there is no cover.
Sure hope rockstar patches this shit because its fucking annoying. Other option is to lead your horse around town but that'll mean it would take fucking ages to move around towns to different locations
manual dead eye is unlocked with a chapter 2 main mission
Holy fuck at some of the garments at the trapper lol. I'm glad you really don't have to do any hunting if you don't feel like it, but man do you miss out on some hilarious cosmetic stuff in particular if you don't.
But as much as I love these hats, I'm not gonna try to get a perfect muskrat pelt. Or any perfect pelt for that matter.

Thanks I appreciate that, fascinating how everyone got something different. All that good karma just dwindled away as I helped out Micah. Every person I shot, negative karma, negative karma. Horrible
Yes, threaten the shop owner with your gun and he'll open the door. You don't need to shoot.
Yeah I want to know as well. I tried using silent weapons. I won't say the 4 other ways I tried to avoid spoilers, but in the end the only way to do it was to kill all the lawmen and rack up my bounty to the highest.

Some of these robbery tips are so off lol. Watson's cabin is "just north of strawberry" according to the game. I spent the last hour trekking through mountains. Went on YouTube and Watson's cabin is past Big Valley and closer to the Grizzlies than Big Valley smh.
It was the moment I met the trapper that I knew I'd be playing this gane forever.
Those outfits looked fucking amazing. But I'm a trash hunter.
i did the mission, gave her the requested item and a few missions later she is there...sometimes she sits in the bushes at the edge of the lake reading a book
The backroom I found didn't have people shooting me inside lol
Had a party in camp the other night. Don't leave it if you have one! So much little lore and bonding with your gang.
Holy fuck that last bullet or two went right over your left shoulder.
Ah thanks guys :)
Will do just that.
I know, the thing is I was trying to hitch my horse and I pressed the triangle button and the horse moved about and hit some guy.
Quit running through town on your horse, fool! Trot it out.
Game is beautiful easily one of the best looking games ever.
But honestly the story/missions are boring as fuck. I'm still in chapter 2 so plenty of time to pick up but i wish they started with something big.
Other little nitpicks. Item navigation is clunky, not a fan of the health system, and the stealth seems broken. On a couple of missions I'm crouching to stealth kill and either they turn instantly around for no reason or it triggers a gun battle. Red eye doesn't really feel fun either, forget it's there half the time.

It can be satisfying to organically figure stuff out, but it's also frustrating to spend a bunch of time actively wondering how things work.
The pelt condition thing is good to know, I that it was only whether you shot their body that determined pelt quality.
I mean instead of the getting a wanted level when hitting an npc with your horse, why not add an option to defuse the situation like you would a normal npc when they get agitated.
Ok, this is getting far too frustrating now...
how the hell are we supposed to rob the room at the back of the drugstore?
I was given the tip by Tilly at camp, and it tells me in my log to investigate the Doctor's Office under the header Shop Robbery. And it pops up and tells me when I'm in the shop that I can rob the place.
However...
As soon as I enter the hidden room, they start shooting, and the law is alerted.
There is no way to open the back door of the hidden room and escape, the only way out is back out through the shop's front door...
And that leads me into the arms of the law, and the townsfolk, and an immediate bounty.
The game is saying "rob this if you want", but there seems to be no way to do this and actually get away...
Is the only way to rob, fight my way out, and deal with the consequences? There's no way to rob and make a clean break?
And I guess his goes for all other types of robbery, too...

Does anyone know how to retrieve your horse? It's not in the stable. I lost it when:
when I got the oil tank for the train mission
You should be able to recall it from the stable, but if not perhaps it died somehow? They have perma death.
