I managed to quite unbalance my playthrough of RDR as early in the game I mainly rode from town to town playing poker and ended up with a silly amount of money. I did enjoy the riding around picking flowers for someone's wife who in the end turns out to have been dead for years bits of the game than the one man army parts
Festerban-
I loved riding around RDR-land, wandering Skyrim and searching the open bits of Tomb Raider - the biggest issue with the current TR incarnation is that it's turned into a complete murder-fest.
Maybe my memory's fogged over, but iirc, in TR1, she killed a bunch of wildlife and a handful of guys only. Maybe a few supernatural beasties as well.

Interesting piece by Keith Stuart in the guardian, about why games are so violent.

I’ve got a friend who enjoyed red dead redemption the most when he was just riding round on his horse, looking out at the sunsets/sunrises.
I’m a fan of puzzles in games, Prince of Persia, uncharted and I find the relentless hack and slash, cover/shoot gameplay a bit repetitive, and I’m usually trying to get through them as soon as possible to get to another puzzle.
Hoping that red dead 2 has more interactions/puzzles/riding on horseback sections which don’t automatically mean you have to shoot someone. Should say I still haven’t finished the original..
