This is me in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Plot mission: They kidnapped my SON! Arthur, we're forming up a posse and riding into town to get my son back! [yellow mission marker appears on the map]

Me: Oh, that's awful. I'm sorry to hear about that. [Ok, so I still need to find and kill a cougar for my satchel. Let's see, the best spawn point for cougars is a few days ride away up north...]

So many of the missions in that game are cliffhangers and imply that you need to do something now. But, I'm always off picking flowers, hunting rare beasts, looking at treasure maps, and so on.

It actually ends up ruining the plot to a certain extent. Like, the plot missions are all about how the gang is desperate for money, meanwhile I just finished a treasure hunt and brought back $1000 and donated it to the camp. I'm financially supporting this group of 20ish people, plus I'm feeding them with all the meat I bring back for the stew (even if I'm only allowed to have stew every couple of days). Dutch keeps saying we need one last score so we can get on a boat to Tahiti. I'm like "give me a couple of days and I'll buy first class tickets for all of us."

I get the feeling that by Chapter 6 you're supposed to be losing confidence in Dutch (as a player, as Arthur you still seem to have confidence in him for some reason). But, for me, he was an idiot many chapters ago because he was suggesting all these illegal schemes to make money, when my hunting, herbing, etc. was bringing in the big bucks.

And, I've barely played the fishing minigames yet, let alone the legendary fish fishing games...
