It’s not the best one I’ve seen. But I’m really proud of my pirate Arthur.
I think this is a bug. There is tons of golden bear pelts spawning by themselves, 50 dollar for one. Is this normal?
Don’t seem so, Uncle

I think I finally figured the Weight System in Story Mode.

After consulting the official guide and going through some trial and error, I think I've found out just how much you have to eat to keep Arthur at perfect weight, or just slightly above average (which doesn't change how he looks).

The official guide states that weight is measured from 0 to 20: zero = skinny, twenty = overweight. This way, Arthur is at peak condition and perfect weight when this value is at 10.

If you consult the guide, you'll see that it also states that you naturally lose 1 weight point every 24 in-game minutes, but this is incorrect, because 24 in-game minutes equals just 48 seconds in real life. Actually, you lose 1 weight point every 24 in-game HOURS.

This brings me to the next point, which is the fact that every consumable in the game, like food, drinks, tonics, herbs, etc, all have a caloric value, which ranges from 1 to 10. You can find a table with the caloric value of every consumable in the official guide.

So, after doing some experiments for a couple of hours, I realized that in order to gain 1 weight point, you have to eat at least 10 in-game calories. For example, Salted Beef has a caloric value of 3, so if you eat 3 of those and a carrot (which has a caloric value of 1), you'll have eaten enough to compensate for the 1 weight point that you'll naturally lose at each passing day, this way you can manage to keep a perfect weight pretty much all the time. Eat double of that and you'll also gain another weight point, keeping you slightly above average.

Be aware that the effects of weight gain or loss only happen after a screen fade, which occurs when you sleep, fast travel, finish certain missions, etc. My advice is to always eat those 10 calories and then sleep right after.

If you want to have Arthur at perfect weight without worrying too much abour how much to eat or sleep, try eating something every time you notice that your cores are starting to decrease. Be aware that this isn't as effective as the first option, because you might already be underweight and the amount of daily calories might not always reach 10 based on what you eat. A screen fade might also not happen in the time needed for those calories to take effect on your weight.

PS: Check the Damage Taken stats on Player > Arthur > General. It goes up or down by 0.75% with every weight point you gain or lose. For example, currently my arthur has a Damage Taken stat of -2.25%, which means that I currently have 13 weight points, 3 more than the 10 for perfect weight.

In my opinion, I think Arthur was the one who didn't hook up the wire correctly. Bill seems to be an expert in dynamite, and he was just setting it up when Arthur came over to offer help.

Whereas Arthur seems a little more unsure about how to hook the wire to the explosive, he even says to Lenny "well, I hooked up the wire but we won't mention that!" And Arthur deflects the blame onto Bill because he's always the one that gets things wrong.

It's a small thing, I just want to see who YOU think it was that made the bomb not work.

Like lenny's death happened so fast that I only processed he was dead when we were on the boat to guarma. Same with poor sean he was my second favorite and then I saw him get his brains blown out, I only realized midway through the fight. I would love to hear your reactions to characters deaths!
