e.g;

1. Contextual Greeting & Interaction System

You can greet, antagonize, or rob almost any NPC.

If you consistently ignore greetings or act standoffish, townsfolk may become curt, suspicious, or downright hostile.

Positive interactions build familiarity — shopkeepers might give discounts, strangers might help you later.


2. Dynamic Honor System with Visible Reactions

Your “honor” isn’t just a hidden stat; people visibly respond to it.

High honor = more friendly greetings, clean townsfolk respect you.

Low honor = people cross the street, shopkeepers act wary, and witnesses report you faster.


3. Advanced Horse Bonding

Horses aren’t just vehicles — you build trust through feeding, brushing, calming during gunfire, etc.

Higher bond levels unlock tighter handling, rearing tricks, drifting stops, and reduced chance of the horse spooking.


4. Weapon Maintenance & Wear

Guns degrade over time — if you don’t clean and oil them, accuracy and damage drop.

You can see rust, dirt, and scratches accumulating on the model.


5. Contextual Looting & Search Animations

Instead of a single “loot” button, Arthur physically searches drawers, shelves, and bodies.

This slows down the pace but makes you feel like you’re actually rummaging through things.


6. Layered Clothing & Temperature Effects

Weather and elevation affect Arthur’s temperature.

Wear too little in snow or too much in heat and stamina drains faster.

Clothing is layered: coats, shirts, vests — you can remove or add layers in the field.


7. Realistic Wildlife Ecosystem

Animals hunt and eat each other even if you’re not involved.

Predators stalk prey dynamically, and carcasses left behind will rot and attract scavengers.


8. Witness & Law System

Crimes are often seen before reported.

A witness might hesitate before riding to town, giving you a chance to intimidate, bribe, or kill them.


9. Hair & Beard Growth

Arthur’s hair grows in real time.

To change style, you must visit a barber — but they can only style what’s already grown; they can’t instantly give you a full beard.


10. Cinematic Riding & Conversation

Long rides can be done in “cinematic camera” with auto-ride while holding conversation, listening to story banter, or just enjoying the scenery.


11. Carcass Quality & Skinning Animation

Hunting requires precision: wrong ammo or damage location lowers pelt quality.

Skinning is fully animated (and pretty graphic), with carcass size changing based on what you killed.


12. Camp Morale & Contribution

Your gang camp changes based on your contributions (money, food, supplies).

Morale affects NPC dialogue, music at camp, and even the variety of supplies available.
