The Scrubbiest of Hunters
^ ... What the ****? Where does this information come from? And DLC as in PAID DLC?
Not at all in my experience. All the optional content in the games (Stranger missions which are effectively side quests, Ambient Challenges, Bounty hunting, etc.) is just as enjoyable as the main missions themselves. The side content is also well-paced throughout the game so you don't get drowned in all that extra stuff 'n the experience isn't as fun. A game that's been scored so incredibly high in nigh-every game review, and praised as a game of the year with tons of awards isn't gonna suffer from such B-list game problems.
Point being, if you enjoy simply playing through the game's main missions, you'll enjoy most or all of the optional content.
I've heard from numerous places that RDR had the "second refrigerator."
