Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

Getting the hang of crafting, camp upgrades etc. Ammo manufacturing is where it's at. Learned to turn off auto save and keep the bounties in check but I have yet to rob a single person. The whole hunting 'perfect' hides for leather work seems near impossible though and one thing that gets you is the 'wounding' of animals. Hit's you in the feels . Is there a way in dead eye to pick your 'X'? Seems like once you paint a target it aims at first spot it touches and different from first game.

I never paint in dead eye, just head shots, then aim at next target, into dead eye target head again, repeat.

Yea perfect skins are hard, you can lasso bigger things and these use the O to kill it, generally gives perfect skins.

Once you get a bounty somewhere, try to complete as many bandit challenges as you can in that area, instead of getting bounties all over the place.

I might be doing it the hard way then, usually I hit dead eye and still have to aim and hope to X head first. It doesn't go auto. No idea about the lasso but makes sense.
