  I find a ride tends to blow the cold out quite nicely.

  That's a bummer. Felt strange looking at a Mexican fort through binoculars knowing I couldn't go there...

  I get what you mean - I think a lot of the stuff like taxidermy, rock carvings, dinosaur bones, may well work best when it is a distraction/diversion/break from the story, as opposed to stuff remaining once you have finished the story... that said, a quick look online to investigate a few things I wondered about (ie, the 'Strange Man' from RDR1) showed me there's a few things I hadn't triggered (a Nite Folk stranger mission in Bayou Nwa/Bluewater Marsh, for example).

  With hunting I have usually just chanced upon things rather than go looking for them specifically - only did 3 of 6 satchels as a result, only found 1 panther (2 *) and 1 bison (that early camp honor mission in Chapter 2) and still not gone to the Iguana island near Rhodes... Haven't used bait or anything as I just forget it exists. I suppose the huge leap in number of species (there were only 36 or something in RDR) doesn't make it easier...

  I think I've sunk nearly 100 hours into it and only once or twice questioned whether I was making the best use of my time.

  About to start second half of the epilogue, am using the time to finish the bits I didn't do previously (legendary fish, animals, look for Rock Carvings as I didn't find any!).

  There's so much weird hidden stuff in the map that I think you could have 100% and still find something new/odd for auto-sketching into the journal...

  Thanks to all the LFGSS-ers who joined the quiz last night, it was great fun.

  The next quiz is on Wed 20 Feb (there are weekly quizzes at Ivy House but mine is always the third Wednesday in the month).

  Red Deaders, how is it going? I have almost finished Chapter 6 now.

  That swamp mission someone mentioned, yeah... I thought the first game had some weird easter eggs but this one tops it.

  Edit: There is some fun/interesting stuff about the real life history that inspired parts of the game and it's hidden treasures. I've not read the main linked story yet but Mike Stuchbery has some interesting tweet threads on other bits of the game. Spoiler-y so maybe not one to look at if you've not finished main game yet. Rather than trawl his tweets for this stuff you'll find majority on google search 'mike stuchbery twitter red dead redemption'
