I'm not eating anything except the stew they put out at camp and I've only fed/washed my horse like twice and nothing bad has happened. I literally just figured out how to clean guns. And I finally died for the first time after 10+ hours of playing. (and it was because somebody shot a wagon full of oil while I was running past) I actually have no idea WTF the cores are or what they do. If anything is an issue, it's how painfully slow the opening was, and how on rails all of the missions seem to be. Apparently I can rob trains outside of missions though and just haven't done it yet, so I'm hoping that there is just a shit ton of content in the world I haven't discovered.
