Which region are you on? I would suggest going John, Jacob, and then Faith. It feels like a more natural progression.
I've done pretty much everything except finding all of the wolf beacons, the second flavor country, and one I can't remember. They felt like busy work and I didn't feel bad about putting it down at that point. It didn't feel like it took very long to beat it. I would compare this game to Metal Gear Solid and I think that one is a much longer game.
Liberating outposts is pretty much the same in every region. In the main story in Jacob's region it gets repetitive but you'll see why when you get to the end. All in all there are roughly about 150 missions to complete where there is a lot of stuff to do. I personally enjoyed the Crash Nixon (he is a famous daredevil in this universe) ones the most. I would say a game like Assassin's Creed is a lot more repetitive.
You can't use just one weapon for a whole outpost most of the time. Get used to using different stuff in different situations. I ended up really liking the bow and explosives the further I got into the game.
Dude I was very excited to use the Bow but somehow I f*cked up hiring someone that I saved/freed and he took my bow from me!!!! Bastard!
If you buy one you can always get it back at the store at no charge.
Haven’t gotten very far yet. Just liberated the town the church & bar. Don’t even remember what it was called, but had to shoot a plane down to liberate it.
Try to get 2 companions perk as soon as you can, the sniper girl is arguably the best companion, she is a deadly shot. I'm just happy they have companions worth something, too many games with worthless companions.
Hurk is my favorite. Add Sharky in the mix and they have a couple good back and forth conversations. I honestly only used the sniper and bow chicks for one mission and moved on. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
