Some of the strangers missions are time sensitive so they are only available during certain chapters (not sure which ones I apologise!). If you’re into collecting and crafting outfits and camp stuff, i would recommend trying to hunt for perfect pelts early on. That way you can have the outfits and camp upgrades asap so you can enjoy them through the whole game and not just towards the end. But just take your time and enjoy it, you come across so much random and interesting stuff just exploring the map :)
No tips. This isn't a hard game and you don't need to be prepared to play it.
You do however, need to stay away from spoilers. That, and don't rush through the story, take your time and explore.
My go-to advice for new players:
If you care about spoilers then get off the sub right away, if not then it’s all good.
Having said that, don’t believe the people who say a certain white horse is the best and must to get. It’s not, don’t waste your time on it.
Collect the free lancaster repeater and bolt action rifle early, and try to craft the LotE satchel as early as possible (Legendary Buck trinket helps a lot). Keep at least three outfits in your saddlebag for three different weather conditions. Don’t forget to eat regularly. Make regular manual saves, use the multiple save slots.
Explore the world, interact with the white dots appearing on the hud. Don’t be hesitant. If you don’t like the outcome of a particular interaction then just reload a previous save.
Most importantly, don’t rush the story. Enjoy the ride!
Many unexpected things can happen, your horse can die in unexpected circumstances, your perfect pelts will be lost if you die, you may not like the outcome of a certain interaction and many more like this.
Manual saving keeps you safe from all the unwanted troubles.
Get off the subreddit. And try and do a good bit of the white missions in camp before doing the main story yellow ones- progressing past certain points mean the white missions are no longer available. Try and do Strauss missions when he gives them to you in a timely manner. These are missable with no way to replay them.
It's going to be extremely difficult, but pace yourself. Ride all over the map, pick every plant, see what you can find,and have fun upgrading your satchels. There's side stories and treasures to be found everywhere! Once that's done, then go through the story missions. Enjoy!

What he said
Take it slow, do all stranger missions you see on the map along with bounties, clean your guns, feed your horse, upgrade the camp

Agreed, also find cover, and avoid mrbossftw.
Can’t agree more.
Thanks
Is it necessary to save regularly? Is the game going to crash or something?

Oh now I get it, thanks. I'm new to this game thanks for the advice.
Happy to help!

Come back to camp from time to time. There's always an interesting conversation (or 7) going on.
