25. it See Improving Performance Getting Started When you start your first game there are several things to keep in mind To advance in the game The Postal Dude must complete his errands but there are other things you might be able to do if you are creative However many of these optional activities may result in negative consequences such as opposition from the public and the police so choose wisely Usually you will want to stray from your required task to look for interesting areas activities or items This is generally a good idea as most often the best items in the game are not lying right in your path Thus you may want to explore your environment or not if you enjoy getting your ass kicked This is a real world environment so keep the following in mind people may not like it when you barge into their homes Should you decide to invade someone s property nobody is twisting your arm but it s possible it s a good idea to try to avoid being seen or they may run off and find a cop Also if somebody does catch you sneaking around where you re not supposed to be and you do find yourself dodging bullets keep in mind that you can hide behind things and use them as cover If you re REALLY clever you might even be able to elude your attackers entirely by hiding You d be surprised how many people forget about that simple concept Perhaps more money needs to be pumped into the educational system Using the Map
