And while I appreciate some realism when it is not at the expense of other gameplay aspects, I do like my games to be fun.

Like I said I'll give it another chance at some point. But I am curious, what parts of the game do you consider the fun parts? Is it the sense of accomplishment completing a quest? The combat doesn't seem very enjoyable to me (I'm mostly just using that deadeye thing) and as a consequence, there seems to be not a lot of reward in obtaining or upgrading different weapons, in the early game at least. Hunting is, as mentioned, a chore. I'm just not clear on what I'm supposed to be having a good time with.
I like everything about the game. I'll load up RDR or GTA and just explore and see what happens. I hate games like TLOU that dictate exactly what you have to do next. I'm guessing we are different in that opinion so don't expect to love the game just because people like me do. I have no problem giving up on a game if it doesn't pull me in.
