I'm really struggling with the combat physics, especially with the mouse acceleration difficulty. If I have that turned on, it's easier to look around, but much harder to aim. Had no such problem in FC3 (where I don't know if that was even an option, didn't need it). The 'hunter' enemies are like the FC3 pirates on speed, the way they hop around like mad.

Set-piece battles are (like FC3's) OTT, moreso here because the enemies indulge in bolivian marching powder to excess, and it seems to have got into the water supply, because the animals are similarly hyperactive. Bell tower captures are relatively easy (and thus far yield useless WWI-vintage weapons). The side missions (rescues and whatnot) and random enemy encounters are generally better, and I'm still tripping on the scenery (literally and psychotropicaly).

The skills first then the missions is solid advice, and there's plenty to do so it doesn't seem too boring. I put about 50 AR rounds in a rhino's ass, and it just ran off, so now I leave 'em alone.
