Here's the perspective I took to help me "get into the mindset" of the Crime System: Arthur starts the game off as a wanted outlaw across several states, and is a known member of the notorious Van Der Linde gang. And let's face it: As you play through the story line, Arthur is going to commit even more crimes. Therefor, people will always assume you're up to no good no matter how high your honor is (I am trying to play a high-honor Arthur). Also, nobody will ever give you the benefit of the doubt for anything. Somebody once tried to rob me, I "surrendered", then killed them, and an innocent stranger rode up on the aftermath and promptly tried to report ME for murder. Such is the life Arthur has chosen to live before the game even started for YOU, the player.
The game not a mind-reader, and nor is any of the AI in the game either. They do not know your true intentions, honorable or not. They do not know the circumstances of what truly happened if they think they see a crime. Strangers will make snap-judgments when they see something: If you're standing over the corpse of somebody who was drunk and tried to knife you, and then a Stranger rounds the corner and sees that, they won't magically know that you were acting in self defense. All they see is Arthur Morgan, notorious gangster of the Van Der Linde gang, standing over the body of somebody else they don't know.
Once you take that perspective, you get a better understanding of what people are going to panic about. Also bear in mind your "honor" and the "Crime system" are two entirely different things that don't always agree with each other.
I think you're missing the point.
You want to play as an outlaw gunslinger living on the edge. The game is making that happen for you by making you a wanted man with bounties on your head and bounty hunters and lawmen on your tail when you're seen committing crimes. That's pretty accurate from a historical point of view, all the famous outlaw gunslingers from the Old West lived in constant danger of being captured or killed by bounty hunters and lawmen.
What I find more annoying is how rival gangs can ambush you at random points as if they seemingly had GPS and knew exactly which route you'd be taking at any given time.
The game was made by big city liberals, they think self defense is immoral and you're supposed to just bend over for criminals. Just relax and accept the rape. I usually just run away to a place where there's no cops (alley etc) and punch the assailant unconcious. Then I either use the lasso to hogtie the assailant and leave him on train tracks, or I just throw a firebomb at him and run away from the cops (masked of course).
There is a Mod that fixes that, try searching for mods in the discussion section. Usually the advice is don't use mods until 2nd playthrough, but I'd advise use them ASAP or you will lose interest in the game.
With the mod, even if you are a known outlaw, only a few people will spot you for who you are. And masks work.
Make a save and try some things out. It's not foolproof but I've mugged people in town and then just run off and gotten away with it- no bounty but I had to avoid town for a bit. Try to make sure nobody sees you...or would that be immersion breaking lol
What high quality food items do you have to trample to death. On the way to town to pick up,a,can of peas?
You do know your PO box can hold 999 of everything (long press "buy" key to buy max) and if you grow your own dead eye juice your Cattleman can kill every bad guy on the map..(or innocent civillian)
... 7000 times....
Some folks really struggle with a game so easy to play you can basically phone it in....

I think this is about the main game and not online and to my knowledge there is no post box in main game?
Witness miracle.
Post office is where you pay bounties. Buy train tickets. Pick up catalog purchases for stuff you dont have room for insatchel. Weapon locker. Wardrobe or horse.
Its not as if I'm not the wild west equivalent of a multimillionaire and can pay off my bounties with little thousands to spare.
You're thinking like a 20th/21st century American automobile driver. Before present day driving, other than walking the common form of transport was by horseback. It was the norm to pass to the left. That tradition started to change when horse drawn wagons became more common place but road etiquette for two oncoming horses, passing on the left, was still the standard.
According to BBC America, this reflects knights on horses and the knight's weapon hand in relation to an opposing challenger.
if you have a bounty, you can wear your covid mask, and normal people won't see you as a wanted criminal and start shooting you. people don't like it when you wear a covid mask though, so it might cause you some fights.
sherrif / lawmen will automatically see through your covid mask. if they see you do something, they intstantly know its you. if you have a bounty and your covid mask is on, they'll instantly go for the arrest.
its just BS how quickly the 'witness' can ride all the way across the country to the nearest sherriff so fast, and how all the sherriffs are telepathic in the 1800's. it would take weeks for word to reach every sherriffs office about your crimes lmao.
train robbery is dealt with differently as well as stores. you should research both mechanics so you know what to expect.
because rockstar thinks you should only play the 'open world' game a certain way every time.
And I know its a bug because when I'm coming up on someone from BEHIND, they turn the correct way, away from my path.
