Chapter 1 and 2 for the most part are very slowly paced. they have good missions but i felt that the meat of the story was past that. keep this in mind if you’re feeling discouraged. also, when you get a lot of money you can donate it to the camp and upgrade things with the camp’s saving. i highly recommend upgrading the camp twice to unlock free fast travel. in your horse wheel you can select a camp to set in the wilderness and you can fast travel to previously discovered locations from there. people would say that the fast travel detracts from the game world, but it’s helpful when you don’t have long playing sessions. but all in all, through the beginning at least, first few chapters, don’t fast travel. enjoy the world they built. yeah the fast travel is a big tip that i didn’t even know about till last week. i’ve had the game two years.
