I found an abandoned cabin at the top of a hill with skulls in it. It was more like an abandoned compund. I brought the horse in, but it got spooked and gtfo.
Wierd music started to play. As I was leaving there was a red dot suggesting a predator was near, but I saw nothing. Sure enough I didn't look down. Got bit by a Northern Copperhead before I killed and skinned it.
FYI, will need some gensing or your health core will drain faster than normal (they made reading your health status uncessecarily complicated).
I'm also with Buzd. Game si alright but not the best ever. Certainly not on the GTA level. Full of glitches too.
