I'm finding the gambler scenario quite challenging, I don't know if it's just bad luck or I'm playing it wrong but with such short expeditions its really hard to fulfill more than 1 contract on a lot of days.

The name frenchy is profoundly racist towards pretty much every native french speaking person all over the world and the developers will probably get away with it because they are french themselves. Having got that out of the way, this game isn't even a pale shadow of rdr 1, whose pc release won't even have multiplayer it is worth pointing out. I understand that's not what this game is trying to accomplish but a game with this setting could have been so much more......

Will we be able choose or customize different player characters or is it going to be a set protagonist? I don’t mind having a set protagonist but being able to customize a cowgirl or cowboy might be fun.

Windows10 Screen blanks out as if about to load then back at steam client and game has stopped. Anything to obviously check?

Nothing amazing for me. I lost the first year and I didn't want to continue. Making it that difficult is a bit daft. I thought it was meant to be a relaxing game, not a headache of a game. Need to lower the difficulty down by a lot and add some exciting squares to find. I feel its is still missing a feature or two as well because it was just too simplistic. Nothing to grab you. I felt the expeditions were also too short. And you should maybe be able to camp where you are to continue the next day etc....
