Slight distraction. Well, I guess Legendary critters just give Legendary skins. That's a good thing because I misfired on the elk last night and had to shoot it a few times while it ran in circles. WOOOOO! I was worried I'd end up with a poor quality skin with no respawn. I've only just entered the area NE of Fort Wallace. Nice change of visuals here. That's where I randomly entered the Legendary Elk zone. Neat. Weird though as I've found two horses randomly roaming on their own in this area. I mean they are saddled but without a rider. One even had a dead deer stowed on it. Just walking along doing their things. Also, I've noticed a LOT of animals just die and fall over randomly as I approach on roadways. These are deer and boar mostly that I've noticed in various map locations. Once I watched a buffalo just drop. Thing is, I wouldn't have seen them in the distance had they not fallen over dead. By the time I get to them, they're either rotted or skinned but no hunter or other predatory animals that might have attached them. If that can even happen.
Just a few observations, I guess. Oh. I was ambushed by a gang the other night heading into a town. I've been held up on a covered bridge once, but this was more elaborate where a scout was higher up on a ledge. As I rode by he whistled and started to run down hill towards the road. His gang was just up ahead of me and rushed me on horseback, chasing me all the rest of the way into town. That was interesting. At first, I assumed I must have a bounty but no. It was just a random gang waiting. I wish that would happen more often as it really surprised me. I have stumbled upon a few camps, while exploring off lesser trails. but not as many ambushes as described.
I wish I could carry more than one larger skin, like alligator, elk, bear, etc. It's a severe annoyance to ride one roll all the way back to camp for PART of a camp upgrade of all of $3.75 value. I get more value from fencing random jewelry loot but that's sometimes difficult to find as missions usually cut short my potential loot time either having NPs nag me and leave me behind or NPC law coming in to investigate soon after a shootout.
Ah well. Weather changes from one area to another are great and beautiful when lightning flashes. The swamp area is creep as hell early morning, foggy, with very little light to see ahead. OK. I'm shutting up now.
