     I'm on my way to the farm and just left the house where the guy I met in Jail died. Now I'm presented with a choice of driving down the road or taking a different path on foot.

    I just don't want to miss any collectibles by taking the wrong path. I assume they wouldn't make you miss manuscript pages or anything but they're already making people play through the whole game twice to get all the pages so they might do something annoying like that. If it really doesn't matter, which way is more fun?

    I finished this game twice and not once, did I realize there was another path other than driving down. Um... So no comment?

    Doesnt matter the game is linear as hell so you will end up at the same place you might miss a thermos though (there is a thermos in one of the barns). Anyway continue playing you are close to one of the best parts of the game.

    "I could walk, but it would be faster to drive" (or something)

    As far as I know, there's only one path. That's just the games way of letting you know you can drive, in case you missed the car or something.

    There isn't really the option to take a different path, just the map is generally large and will give you the illusion of free roam. Just take your time and explore the setting, you will generally find some collectibles.

    Go the alternate way first (away from the farm). You'll come across a shed with a chest and a radio tower with (gasp!) a radio and a hunting rifle and some ammo. Then move on to the farm.

    He is saying that because you're supposed to be driving - its the game's way of telling you to get into a car. 
     
    That part was the one radio I missed because I took a right instead of going straight. Definitely headed for one of the best moments of the game.  CHILDREN OF THE ELDER GOD!!!

    Yep that's what I did, and that rifle/ammo came in real handy a little later :p.
