The little touches are what make this game great. Some bandit was running across the top of a hill so I shot at him from quite a distance but only manged to hit his leg but he tumbled down the hill and hit a rock. When I went to loot him I noticed a blood patch on the rock.

So you can lasso wild animals, like deers and shit. Any reason to do so?
Lasso'ed a deer but that sucker pulled me a couple of yards

| Spoiler: | right beside the tree are two big boulders, go around them and into the niches. In one of them there should be rubble on the ground. That's the treasure.
It's really hard to describe :/
Hope that helps you  |

Lesson I just learned:
If you see somebody getting chased don't think the chasing person is a bandit :/
That lesson cost me 20 bucks and a couple nights in jail

i probably haven't play this for long enough, but it seems like its $25 to enter a poker game.
i have 0 so went around killing / looting people. Got to $20 before someone shot and killed me for the reward.
I guess doing missions earns you money early on?

Simple question: how to tame the freaking horse? I catch them with a lasso and after a second or two they are on the loose once again. What should I do after I catch him with a lasso?

Doing side quests earns you money, and main quest earns you money when you loot corpses and open chests.
Btw, what i miss in this game is a proper upgrading/customizing of my weapons, and i think the gunshop doenst have enough guns, most of 'm arent availible as well.
Also i would love to see something like in Assassins Creed 2, like buying your own ranch and upgrading it for a steady income etc.. that would make this game a lot better.

After you lasso him get off your horse and go to him. Then hop on and "break" him

what to do with stuff you can't consume/use, such as skins, meat, gold from treasure chests etc.? are they there to be sold to merchants or is there some other use? my inventory is getting messy.

Holy god. Sell it. That's the point.
For best bang for your buck, Hawk feathers are the way to go. Abundant, and easily dropped with Dead Eye. Rack up 30 feathers in a few minutes, sell for 180 bucks. Rince and repeat when funds are low.

I too couldn't agree more. This game has something extra. We can all make long lists of what we like about it so far, but it can also be summarized in one word: it. That very rare thing that can make a good game great. Something all developers look for their games to be, but only a handful ever succeeds.
R* has done it. Again.

I like what the other guy said about they make art, not games. I think I was expecting what wheat said which is why I was a little shocked. What I got is better tho.
"Epic". Fuck those dumb ass kids. That whole tween and teen generation is just one fucking sad bunch. Feel sorry for their folks.
Besides - westerns never were for kids anyway.

Hm. Is there any way to see what horse I am riding and what it's stats are?
And when taming a horse how do I determine which horse it is? Only by colour?

So far I must say that this game is a pleasant surprise, the world feels really harsh and unforgiving and that may be why the "usual" rockstar audience dislike it. Personally I find it to be a pleasant change and it makes the world and the characters that inhabit it, far more real to me.
I haven't gotten that far in the game yet though, still just roaming around armadillo and having a nice time exploring the wilderness, camping at night and rescuing damsels in distress, who then turn out to be robbers! - good thing I have the "dead eye" slowtime 
There's a lot of nice little touches and stuff to see and do, I don't think I've yet begun to scratch the surface but what a nice surface it is!
