I keep reading you can interact with everyone and interact with dogs in the town but does it say anywhere if you can interact with wildlife besides hunting it?

You can pet the dogs. What more do you need

You can shave down individual parts of Arthur’s face to various lengths, essentially creating totally custom beards

 

I am going to play dress up with Arthur.  LOL Look what R* has me doing.. smh.

A world that's filled with stories to hear and encounter as time progresses. I love that! From IGN

 

Quote

 

At one point, I rode up to an old man watching two younger men building the frontage of a house. The old man told me how these were his sons, that he thought teaching them how to build their own home would build characters, and that, sadly, they were awful at it. As if to prove a point, the frame of the house promptly fell on and killed me. Unintentional comedy aside, Rockstar points out that, over time, this house will become more developed, and the old man will have more to say, emphasising how long you’ve spent with Arthur.

I literally feel like crying from joy

[nubcaker]

" Switching to first person, you can make Arthur manipulate the object in his hands as he takes a close look at it. This is also how you'll interact with environmental narrative objects like notes and photographs. "

[Emmi]

I will not wash or shave Arthur for (in-game) weeks time and see how it goes ... and I'll eat as much as I can to make him very thick!!! ... I'll make sure to take a self-portrait and share it with you all.

[ejderemir]

Arthur steps inside the grandiose, furnished carriage interior and picks the place clean, securing some bonds. It’s here where Arthur is offered a choice. The people who were in the carriage are on their knees outside, and Arthur can shoot them, let them go, or take them hostage. This section of the demo ends before he makes his decision.

BTW THAT'S FREE ROAM!

Just me that has really bad lag in here atm?

[Outlaw for life]

Think even my ps4 pro will blow up playing this sounds better than the beat word you can use to describe something haha

[Kilax]

Ok boyz last bit of info from the Polish article:

 

- Rockstar uses different mechanics from all of their other titles

  - slowmode kills inspired by Max Payne

  - item inspection inspired by L.A. Noire

  - body weight mechanic inspired by GTA SA

 

- game doesn't force you to use as much cover mechanic as it did in RDR, you can go out in the open and if you got some quick reflexes, you can take down your enemies fearlessly

 

- guy playing the game on PS4 Pro stated that he feels like it didn't keep 30 fps all the time, but reminds it was an early beta

Probably due to the fact it's batsh*t crazy here today.  Mine is lagging too.

11) You can wear animal carcasses as a hat.

 

Oh.

My.

God.

 

I'm wearing an alligator on my head, first thing.

 

On a more modest note, can you imagine Arthur in a Dan'l Boone coonskin cap?

Stop...the hype is going to give me a heart attack.

This makes us wonder if you can mount the horse from the back, for some reason. You can. It looks badass. We wonder if this also means you can just jump onto your horse from a height. You can. It looks painful. As always with Rockstar games, the character physics have a realistic, satisfying heft to them.

Can more than one person get on a horse this time around though is the burning question?!
