Thankfully, very few horses have doors, but I know what you mean. Perfect analogy of the effect.

This happens on both standard handling horses like the Tennessee Walker, and superior handling horses like the Arabian: When running through woods, the horse drifts itself to certain sides of trees in spite of where I move the joystick. I want to run between two trees, and it wants to run around them. I push the stick left because my horse is automatically trying to move right. Guess what happens. Yes, I plow into the tree. Also, before you suggest, between the trees is big enough to run through. I understand if this forced movement is on a cheaper, lesser quality horse, but on my Arabian with superior handling, this "move-assist" should be disabled or at least greatly lowered. Everyone knows player judgement is usually better than number generators and therefore "superior" handling should mean complete player autonomy where movement is concerned. If I'm wrong about the handling class of these horses, then oops, but my argument is still valid: I shouldn't have to fight my horse to go where I want it to, especially while fully bonded. Also, horses could have varying degrees of handling that can be improved to some extent as you bond.

That's exactly what I do as well. All that plannin' and the game is like: nah, here's a Lancaster Repeater; that's what you really need.

I started a mission and killed a guy who was next to a scoped rifle. I didn't have a scoped rifle but took the hint that I might need it. I swapped to it, shot a few folk and swapped back to my original gun. That is how the game should suggest loadouts all the time.

I get it, Rockstar is helping those of us who don't think ahead about missions; it automatically assigns us the guns we ought to use to best handle the particular story mission we're on. But! This game doesn't do a lot of hand-holding to begin with- why does it do this? I have customized guns and when I go to rescue someone, I want my custom pump-action shotgun, not a standard double-barreled shotgun. If I'm going to shoot people from a boat, I want my custom Carbine Repeater that has better stats than a standard Lancaster. Please, Rockstar, let me keep my loadout. If I fail, give me a bronze medal; I'll repeat the mission with whatever you assign during the repeat phase. Or, introduce a "held" button option on the bottom right corner that asks if I want to swap to recommended loadout?

Hey I'm Ebonezra and I'm 30. Similar love life to Arthur Morgan, but in a time of video games- so I don't need to kill or steal to take out my frustrations. Instead, I play RDR2! A lot!
