Time

[HRRoach]

Other than entering a town and the time pops up, is there a ♥♥♥♥♥ clock I can check in the wild, or from the road? A clock would be the ideal mod, gives us a watch that works with the map perhaps. I know it isn't there, but how do you know what time it is unless entering town?

Can always view the clock, press ALT key.
Displays the Area, Time, Temp (*C/*F) as well as Bounty $ if any.

You can always view the correct in-game time via the ESC menu

You never need the pocket watch, that's just for immersion purposes.

I literally just look at the sun (if visiable). If its in the easterly direction Its morning. Near the top Noonish. Somewhere in the west, getting on near dark.

I do have the pocket watch but I mean....not like I have a date.

The game doesn't use time as days moved onward like you would think.
When you are not doing a story mission or some sort of time-critical task; time (at least the day of the month so to speak) stands still.

The only real notion of lengthy time passed is when you've been away from Gang Camp for many days and either someone from Camp finally runs into you "Oh Dutch was worried, you were gone so long, would you like to come back to camp with me?" Or when you just go back to camp on your own and the various members making comments about you being away a long time, do your share to bring in food and money; etc.

Even the time of day is not really important unless you are trying to trigger something that might only happen during a small window of time. Like the UFO encounter, the memories of war on the battlefield, things of that sort. Some random encounters or animals of certain areas can be found at certain time-frames of the day or night as well.

If you play RDO there are plants that only are able to be gotten at night and such.

The need came up with lightning guy, and its hard to follow the sun at night

The only times in the game you can't see the time is when Fishing or when playing games (Poker, Blackjack, Dominoes, Five Finger Fillet) ~ For basically anytime else, there is the tapping of ALT key and then also the ESC menu

There is a mod available that puts a small clock in the upper-left to help you better see in-game time. Mods require a few things for them to work, such as proper ScriptHook for RDR2.

For most of the time, using the ALT key tap method from time to time can help to also see Current Temp (*C/*F) as you will want to have at least 2 basic outfits stored on your Horse at all times. One that is suitable for hot weather and one that is suitable for cold weather. If you are not properly dressed for the weather, your Health Core will automatically drain over time. Cold = below 1*C / 34*F ~ Hot = above 26*C / 79*F
