** Each NPC follows their own routine and way of a life. For example,one spend all day working in a blacksmith, then at closing time headoff to the saloon for a couple drinks before going home.*** NPCs will converse with each other**** You can converse with NPCs yourself** NPCs can hold grudges. A man you beat up in the saloon may come back later with a gun.** NPC houses can be broken into and robbed*** NPCs store possessions in boxes and trunks in their houses. ** NPC towns can be wiped out and made into ghost towns*** Ghost towns will revive in 2-3 in-game days** In the wilderness rarely a minute passes without seeing some indication of an NPC*** NPCs play an important part of free roaming, through random encounters**** NPCs can be found doing a large assortment of things, fromambushes to gunfights to hostage scenarios to simple things likesitting around a campfire telling stories of Marston's earlier exploits* Bank Robbing** Initiated by having a gun drawn in a bank* Dueling** Can't duel everybody (like old women), but you can duel other gunslingers

** The World is, in total, roughly twice the size of San Andreas *** The World is split into three large regions, each larger than GTA IV's Liberty City

I'm getting kinda GTAIV pre-hype flashbacks here. I remember reading one article which said hey, in multiplayer, if you like, you and a buddy can just go for a drive and listen to the stereo and have a chat. Somehow that sounded amazing to me, but did I ever do it in game? Well course not, cos it would've felt ridiculous.
"Gentle hunt" is having a similar effect, it just sounds great to me at the moment. But will I ever do it? Hmm.

I thought the same thing, but a ramble around a huge peaceful landscape with discernable goals that impact your MP profile is different than driving around the same streets you're already sick of from the campaign, doing nothing

I am pretty sure I will be a lone wolf in the multiplayer lobby, not a roam-in-packs guy.

you can't do this in gta4 iirc. the stereo part that is.
this looks to be a more zen like experience, to truly roam at last

This looks so rad! haha my little brother is going to hate me for dominating the 360.

"We have just over 500 characters who all have names, family members and jobs," said Josh Bass, head of art."You can see a man at 7 a.m. in a Mexican market manning the chicken stand and at 6 p.m. he'll go over to the local pub."
"The morally ambiguous cowboy is the perfect protagonist for the style of game we make," observed Houser. "Sometimes you can be the hero, sometimes you can be the bad guy, and sometimes while you're deciding what to do, a bear comes out of nowhere and eats someone."

really hoping this at least provides me with more than an evenings entertainment, which all my recent purchases lately have failed to do.

ste, apparently this is basically GTA: the western
I'm sure it'll have pigeons or some equivalent for you to find ;)

Who wants to place money on when the first MAJOR bug hits
and will the bug be one of the npc's malfunctioning and stalking the player FOREVER through the game?

xp, ah yes forgot about the trains
Or by boat. There is a giant river through the middle of the thing.

The thing about potential bugs and having 500 NPCs with their own personalities/routines reminds me of the Oblivion guys saying they actually had to scale back and limit the AI because of the problems it caused; they had a guy in a village work in a field at certain times of the day but somebody else in the village used his hoe or some shit and he attacked him for stealing it and the village ended up rioting in a way that broke the game
