Good.
Has anyone actually answered the question of whether you can go and do your own thing after finishing the main plot?

There is a time limit on that one i think.
I went at something stupid like 3am, and it said come back between Xam and Xpm
Ok, thanks, just tried that now and it worked. Though the message saying come back between x and x didn't appear on mine.
I don't like how we never actually see any background to Marston, like I only heard about Dutch a couple of missions before
I didn't even know that was supposed to be him, I'd never seen him before. Same with that Escuella bloke.
he just shot the binoculars

You hear about Dutch right at the start when you're with Bonnie, you reveal your backstory in little chunks on the way to missions. I quite like it that way as the character and his motives develop rather than get chucked at you right from the get go.
I agree with Spammy; the cover system is a bit naff. I was attacking some abandoned farmstead on one of those random missions you just come across, and had to free some sheriff who was trapped inside. Took shelter behind a cart, when a guy waltzed above me on some sort of walkway and just opened up. Because I was "in cover" it wouldn't let me aim and Martson just sat there whilst I got gunned down 
Addictive game, though!

I keep failing those little rescue side missions because it auto aims at the people you are supposed to save in the middle of a fire fight! Annoying.
I started this game with every intention of going on the straight and narrow, but as it's gone on I've become more and more evil. I just love randomly lassoing people and dragging them through cactii.
Earlier I hog tied the dealer in blackjack and left him on the railway track like they used to do in the old westerns. No train came though...next time it will happen.

Got this today. I find it incredibly annoying, as I feared.
When did it become acceptable to play games where you spend more time fecking commuting from A to B (and back again) than actually doing anything fun? If I have to listen to one more painfully dull conversation on horse-back I'm gonna throw my console out the window. The cut-scenes are also too dull and too frequent.
Oh and the saving business that CD was complaining about melts my head an' all.
All of which is a shame because it's probably the best-looking game I've played on the PS3. The desert vistas are stunning.

Just set a marker on your map to where you want to go, select campsite, travel to destination then travel to waypoint. You'll instantly be there or at the nearest road to it.
That'll help a bit, I guess.
It was more the bits on missions I was complaining about though. When you're heading out with your posse to do things.
I was in the tall trees, it was all quiet and i was training my gun on an Elk, suddenly this great big feckoff bear comes out of nowhere and shits me up 
I really don't mind the journeys on horseback talking about what's going on. I'm much more of a sucker for the story and the whole exploring thing.
But i can see why all the cutscenes annoy some people, i've had years of practise with JRPGs (i'd avoid playing Xenosaga if i were you Pogue, it'd probably make you burn your tv. The first few hours you walk down a corridor to a cutscene, then walk down another corridor into another 20 minute cutscene. I'm not joking.)

You realise that you can fast travel?
I don't think you can during missions can you? Other than the ones that actually say Skip journey.
I had a lady hogtied and saw the train tracks and decided to put her there and wait for a train to pass to see what happened.
I thought it was just my mind that was being too devious but since it gave me an unexpected trophy for doing that it seems I'm not the only one with bloodlust in the desert.

Not sure. I was talking about the "setting up camp" method.
Okay i'm bored of it now, I was going to try and get 100% completion, but that'd be boring
I'm sure you can, Rockstar always allows it and it would be very strange and illogical not to. All GTA's and Bully allow it, as well as other games in the same style from other companies, I suppose.
Most people go for 100% only after the plot (the ones that do, I only did this in San Andreas).
I'll probably go for 100% after finishing, seeing as there are no 200 doves or hidden packages to kill it is less bothering than other games.
Yeah, you can, but there's nothing really to do, thats how I see it anyway
I saw someone sell 'golden guns' just that, no game, on ebay the other day for 14 quid!!!
Just played PvP for the first time. Pretty basic but fantastic fun!
Anybody on xbox who wants to play some online?
Sure thing , add me : Mongowogchopski
I can't get online, it just says loading for ages then a message comes up telling me I've been kicked out of my game (which I never started) and will be returned to Free Mode, which never happens. The single player's fantastic so far though.
Okay, i'll get that wrong, add me
TG Pooey
Will do next time im lurking about the wild west shootin shit up.
Could someone tell what the feck the point is of the health bar? Anyone?
There's a health bar?
There's no health bar.
There's two bars on the map - the one on the left is your horse's stamina bar, the one on your right is your Deadeye Meter.
The horse stamina bar elapses as you spur it on or it falls great distances, and when it hits the bottom your controller will vibrate. If you insist on spurring it, then the horse will throw you off.
Your Deadeye Meter controls your Deadeye; how much you have left. You can see it ticking down in Deadeye mode. It replenishes slowly over time, but more quickly if you kill things in normal mode, in the same vein as Max Payne's bullet-time, or Fallout 3's VATS.
Ok, could someone tell me why the feck there's no health bar?? Anyone?
Sometimes I just die from 1 shot from a pistol from millions and millions of miles away.

It's got that silly Call of Duty-esque approach, of just making the screen go red as you take hits a nondescript number of times, before you eventually die. Or, if you hide for five or six seconds, all of your wounds are miraculously healed and you're right as rain.
I can't answer your first question.
And it sounds like you have been head shotted. And not in the good way.
Ok the ending, wtf
I'm the kid now? I don't want to be the kid. I can't even get revenge on those two bowler hat blokes?
I've just got the duster coat, and it's gorgeous.
Where do I buy the suits from?
It says the tailor is in Thieve's somethingorother...where the feck is that?

Way over to the right of Bonny's ranch. It's a little island.
Just to the right of McFarlane's ranch, thieves landing, go towards the pair of scissors, though I believe it doesnt show up at first, or it didn't for me anyway
