The game looks incredible, it plays fantastic, and the only complaint I have after digging into it is that picking up items inside a room is annoying because the camera usually sits in a weird position.
I’m not sure how badly you hyped this game up for yourself, but I was expecting RDR but better, something about as good as GTAV. So far? My expectations are far exceeded.
I’m sorry you’re disappointed, but I would recommend taking a step back and revisiting the game later. It’d be a shame not to appreciate it.

One suggestion for that: go to first person when you're looting or picking up items. I find it helps.
I'm surprised few people have an issue with the incredibly clunky controls. The game feels like GTA IV, only more restricted. Walking, running, riding are all so slow, and it feels like I'm trying to steer or turn a series of ocean liners. Your complaint is a perfect example of the frustrations I have just controlling my character.
And I started getting used to the micromanagement RPG style it's trying to pull off with games like Fallout, but this takes it to a bit of an extreme. For every 1 minute you spend engaging the story, you will spend 5-10 just riding and trying to manage your cores, your horse, the camp, and so forth. It's all really neat and super detailed, but the novelty wore off a couple hours into the game and now just feels tedious. I dread having to deal with it over a 60 to 80 hour story experience, especially with that god awful satchel menu.
I'm definitely going to give it more of a chance, but right now it feels like I'm
working towards completing it rather than having fun playing and getting lost in the world they created.
I really want to love this game, but I'm not close to being there yet.
