Went to Saint Denis very early in chapter 2 for a look around. Just pressing the run button and bumping into someone put me on the wanted list and I got killed. Motherfuckers. That town is getting razed at some point.
Found the Braithwaite family secret, there's a girl chained up in an outhouse, she tries to grab you when you look.
2 things I've realised. Do a quick whistle and the horse come right to you, a long one and he stays a little away and follows. Using a gun a lot will increase its stats.
Spoiler: Story's Ending Upon Completing the story, Arthur dies, the game then forwards a few years and you play John doing missions as a prelude to RDR1. Any side-missions are not open to you. Story ruining Spoiler. don't say I didn't warn yer cowpoke! I beasted it this game and have completed the story however I'm going back and taking it slow this time, missed so much in-world stuff. Slow and Easy is the way to get the most out this
I know the story so not bothered. Looking at what I've done so far there is still loads to do. I've done 5 legendary animals but there are 16, I've done 2 legendary fish and there's 13. Done about 15 Dino bones and there are 30. Only done 1 rock carving don't know how many. Let's of upgrades to still but for weapons and kit. Massive game.
Talismans. When you kill a legendary animal you get things like claws off then, you can craft talismans at the fence that give you perks like extra health. Just found this out and think I've sold sold some of it
It's another aspect of the game that I like, so much to do when you really look into it. I'm going to 100% it deffo.
