That's not even a big deal, just something funny that has happened a few times now.
Game definitely looks incredible. Setting a carriage ablaze in the night and watching it set other shit on fire is a sight to see. Mission structure so far has been enjoyable, and I JUST unlocked the fast travel but have enjoyed riding from place to place and hunting along the way.
Jim Sterling made a great point about the characters being a bit over-animated. Like when you go to skin an animal but you're not in the exact right spot to start the deed, so you press the button and the guy lazily walks around like it's a car in GTA until he finds the sweet spot, then starts another several second animation to actually skin the thing. Walking around trying to loot things takes time as your character starts up and stops with plenty of extra animations that look great but slow down the pace of movement. But that type of thing is really the extent of my complaints with the game, several design decisions that aren't my favorite but I'm very happy to work with given the killer frame it's all displayed it. I haven't stopped playing and I've loved the whole time.
The accidental tackle that Firstblood mentioned happened to me as well and has become my favorite move. Actually blew a guy's head clean off from that position with the sawed off. This game is brutal as hell.
