So many cool ideas here. Having the difficulty level of hideouts based on your skill level would be super cool. And I love the surrendering thing. Maybe you could trade the person you captured for a few weapons or something. I would like a fair playing field when it comes to player vs NPC gang member. Last night while clearing out Warthington Ranch I shot someone 3 times in the back and twice in the head with a bolt action rifle before they died, and I was right up close. 10 seconds later someone kills me in one shot with an Evans Repeater lol Then when the final 3 dudes came with the fire bottles, I was on my horse doing mach 1, and they couldn't miss me even though my horse was running full speed and zig zagging. It's like I had Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Joe Montana throwing fire bottles at me. I think the fact that the same people are in the same spots every time is boring. Having them spawn or be in different spots would make it a lot more challenging and fun. A lot of people can clear Pike's Basin in less than 7 mins because we all know where all the gang members are before we even enter. I'm not complaining that it's too difficult, I'm saying if you can kill me with one shot of a weak rifle, I should be able to kill you with the same force.
