Did anyone else catch the super horse (better than either of the preorder horses)? Took me an hour but totally worth it:

My one tip, if you’re like me and haven’t spent any time catching horses, is once you mount up and are breaking the horse, just make circular motions with the left stick instead of trying to match the horses movements. Wish I’d remembered that trick from RDR1, would have saved me a lot of frustration.

One other piece of advice, before you head in definitely save your game at the base of the lake so you can easily restart if you spook the horse and lose him. I made the mistake of saving closer to where he appears, and then respawned right next to him every time I re-loaded, so I'd auto-spook him and have to chase him down.

Happy hunting! It is satisfying how much faster the Arabian is.

There's also an unlimited gold glitch if you don't feel like sweating $ in the game (just don't pick up the pamphlet in the chest, that kills the glitch).

It’s definitely a bit faster, and more sturdy, at least compared to the race horse that was the preorder bonus.

Sure, and it's not like you'd actually be sprinting around your home base in real life. That said, it's annoying as hell since sometimes you just want to race to your tent, grab that can of pomade, and be on your merry way.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about Witcher 3, but it sounds like an absolute time suck. I guess I just got too old and 100+ hour games are now daunting instead of exciting.

Achievements are the horrible, they pull you out of the flow of the game itself and encourage you to play in boring and repetitive ways that often have nothing to do with what the game designers intended. First thing I did when I got my PS4 and XBone was disable notifications for trophies/achievements, I never even think about 'em anymore.
