I'm trying to avoid just googling straight answers to try to encourage me to search the game world with my eyes and ears, but can anyone give me a little hint: as far as the trapper/Pearson is concerned, is there a difference between a cougar and a panther skin? (not talking about the legendary ones).

Or do the two appear scribbled differently on the world map in a way that could be easily described?

There's a couple of cats on my map but both are in areas where I think I've previously encountered cougars, so I'm assuming maybe I haven't hit a spawn area yet for panthers (I'm in the middle of Chapter 3 in Rhodes). I could go by the Legendary animal map - that's how I found where beavers were - but in other instances, like the wolf, it didn't appear in an area known for other wolf sightings.
Physically, panthers just appear to be black cougars (but the game considers them different animals) and I think they look like that on the map. I think their spawn locations are fewer and smaller though.

Using the legendarys as indicators will be hit and miss, like the white bison is nowhere near where bison spawn, for example.

Have you done a game update? As it's not online, not sure how they could patch it.

I love this. Basically someone followed a few Non-Player Characters around for their day to see what they get up to. In itself, not that exciting, but it just illustrates the depth behind the game.

Ditto - on Chapter 6.

Trying to remain spoiler free, I don't really feel much happened in the first 4 chapters, it's like it's only really kicked in for the last 2 - however I'm not sure many people are going to be patient enough to get that far, it's a really, really slow burner, but I'm glad I've stuck with it. As you say, the VA and overall quality of the story scenes is incredible.

FWIW, of the 5 people I know who have bought it, 3 have sold it already and the other is just waiting for MP....

Thanks for the reputation advice. I gave up helping people early on as i would fend off their attackers but end up pointing my gun at them, after which they usually ended up dead having been a massive fanny. Will try again....

Whats everyone’s horse called? My first was called Mr Horse, the second (arabian, so likely last) is Bojack.

Might regret this. I managed to tame the Arab last night.

what are you struggling with?

Some things are rare, some things only spawn in certain places, some things don't spawn in pristine condition and some things are just tough to hunt.
Every animal except for legendary ones seems to be a whitetail deer.

I finished it tonight, epic, superb, wonderful

99% sure there's at least 2 if not more endings

Agree a bit on it really kicking on after 4 by the same token I don't regret any of the time I spent

I’m in the second part of what happens after chapter 6 (which I’m still mighty pissed off about).

My first horse was Burger Sauce. Second was Tesco’s Value. Current one is Lasagne.

Some animals are nocturnal and some only hang about in certain areas, woodland, plains, mountains, lakes etc.

There's one island that spawns iguanas unless you get to a certain part in the story.
