I’m starting my first save, how should I approach this game?

I like slower paced gameplay where the silence is peaceful but tense because of the possibility of dangerous combat.

Are there any settings I should enable, should I take it slow or fast and what areas should I really sit in and absorb? Should I even do that?

I played RDR2 for a couple of years before I played it slowly, went hunting, camped out and read Arthur’s journal, did all the side quests. It’s the best time I’ve ever had on a single player game.

I only had an hour to take in The Witcher III before I went on to something else, probably DBD.
