Idea/Suggestion Playing collector as intended
It would seem obvious, but many of us (myself included ) would rather use the interactive map in order to get everything fast and to make a lot of $ (and I get it, if you need money, its pretty easy to just collect the card sets, and buildup your collections by taking other stuff too)
Yesterday, I decided to replay the collector role, but, how it was intended.
I equipped my best outfit for the occasion, and prepared the varmint rifle, took my binoculars and my metal detector, accompanied by my trustworthy horse.
I visited Nazar, and took her some maps, there began my journey.
I moved from destination to destination, I stopped in between to collect what I found on my way, I used lynx vision or binoculars to find buried treasures, I collected eggs, I admired the scenery and paid more attention to the land around me.
To take a break, but to stay in character, I opened some treasure maps and made some gold along the way.
I ran away from grizzlies at multiple times, and even encountered one face to face, I didn't move, and he let me live. I guess he wasn't that hungry.
It was a long but peaceful journey, a resting place for those who wants too take a break from the chaotic life in the wild West.
At the end, you can use the interactive map, and I probably will too. However, sometimes playing the collector role as intended, could be an pleasing experience for you.
Some tips: Activate vibrations (if controller),use your lynx vision A LOT, take your metal detector while you go between destinations, if you see POI's remove the metal detector as it will not vibrate even if there is an item to collect inside the house, and lastly take your time and enjoy: you may not complete an collection but you can embrace the activity š
