  1. One poster has noted that it depends upon choices made in earlier missions.  Can anyone confirm?

    Does this mean you have make all honourable choices for first few missions?  Seems odd.

    What if your group outvotes you anyway?

    I got the way of the gunslinger, what did other's get?

  2. Character generation wasn't too good - hard to make anyone who looked less than a mutant.

    Economy is a real grind fest, and having things like fast travel locked beyond enormous level and can limits whilst allowing gold as a bypass doesn't bode well at all.  It's hard to make money, everything is expensive.

    Theres some bugs and glitches, but nothing major as yet.

    Trolls remain annoying, but thankfully I only seem to meet one per every two hours free roaming, that's not bad.  I expect it'll get worse when more folk are on, though.

    Bandit ambushes can be really irritating when hunting.

    The map fees a bit empty at the momemt, especially in the north and east of the map.

    And the camp keeps moving, is always really far away, and costs money.

  3. Ive sunk a lot of hours into solo play, and if you're on your own you do have to be careful.  

    It's best to go to unpopulated map areas to hunt and stuff.  Fast travel helps here.

    Also, take detours past pink dots (especially in gangs).  

    When in town shop or stable to be safe.

    If possible, play at quiet times when folk are work/school/sleep.

    Never skin or look at map if there's a pink dot near, wait until it moves on.

    Draw gun and hide if a pink dot approaches.

    The most annoying things are horse killing, pelt ruins, animation lassos, and waving a mutual greeting to signal no interest in briefing only to be shot in the back straight afterword.  I always try to harangue such douche bags off the server if this happens.  Even when I've been outnumbered, I just keep turning up and killing some of them and their horses and prevent them doing anything else.  I don't like such stuff, but I don't like bullies to feel empowered and unpunished.

  4. I've mostly been free roaming until tonight, when I thought I'd try selecting large series from the menu.  It seems to put you into a rotation of various shooting games.

    Does it give you any xp/cash rewards?  And I assume this carries over to your character when free roaming?

  5. My proposed fixes would be:

    change the way players appear on map

    animation fix

    A few safe zones beyond camp (like churches or sheriffs offices)

    easier, cheaper fast travel

    bounties/penalties for repeat killing of the same player

  6. There's a fine line between having a system which encourages careful play and creates a genuine sense of danger, and a system where it is too frustrating to play because you are repeatedly grief killed for no real reason and have any attempt to hunt, explore, shop, ride or do missions perma-wrecked.

    I don't know what the solution is.  I've simply taken to revenge killing until they leave the game if anyone grief kills me.  I keep a record of their name and will attempt to ruin their day whenever I see them on the map.  Trouble is, creating such feuds means all other aspects of the game are unplayable.
