"He's called Arthur, like you" "That's it, I'm done"

“Arthur’s dead” and the way he looked at her for a moment knowing he’s going to die too is very chilling for me.

I always found the scene with Arthur Londenderry to be quite interesting. To find him, Arthur has to go into the "Pit" as in the "Pit of Hell" which Arthur himself says several times is where he is heading. There he meets a man who laughs at him almost as if he was some sort of Satanic character. And finally, after so long wrestling with the two sides of his nature he finally choses to do the right thing and not only forgives the debt but actually gives her money. He then throws Strauss out which is somewhat symbolic of Arthur seeing clearly for really the first time who and what they are and acting on it. As others have said so many times, what an amazing story. Great channel.

He got the ending that he deserved as tragic as it was. His life caught up to him just as he was reaching that moment of redemption. One that he wasn’t able to live out. He was redeemed in a way. Another thing to take away from this is that the character & his demise, as far as video games history goes, is going to be one that is remembered. At least for me. You knew at some point he was going to die while you played him but there was always that hope in the back of your minds that you’d get swerved, RS would let you redeem him and have him grow old on a nice ranch. But no, we reached the end with him and only we were allowed to continue on. But we got to see him accept what he was & he knew if he had another life to live, he’d do it differently. That was the redemption part, for me at least. Bottom line, it’s a game that makes me remember it. We need more of those games.

Damn... Arthur might just be the single *GREATEST* written and acted character in the medium. This video and all the paralysis it delved into just further cemented that.

Your last line is so true

I've always felt like Arthur kicked Strauss out for his own good. At least, that's what I'd like to think. By that point Arthur had begun to realize how the gang, how Dutch, had corrupted everyone there. That scene was heart-wrenching (Hell, most of this game is) and I've always felt like Arthur was more angry with himself over letting everything happen more than he was directly at Strauss. Sure, he died in the end, but he died a loyal friend and member of Dutch's gang. Despite everything that happened he didn't rat on any of them...not even Arthur. Again, personal opinions and viewpoints, but I feel like Strauss knew what and why Arthur did what he did.

@einzelganger6664

Жыл бұрын

You're making two different points here at once and explaining only one of them. That Arthur kicked Strauss out for his own good and that Strauss knew why Arthur kicked him out. The latter doesn't make any sense, especially considering when it happens his protesting and even literally asking "what/why are you doing this???" Also, you missed the point of Strauss' "arc", If it can be called that. Strauss got "redemption" (again, if you can call it that) too by not ratting despite being tortured and even died loyal. The point was that redemption is a funny thing, and can come in many forms but that it always comes with some sort of price.

@luciusmodesto9163

Жыл бұрын

I agree with this. Strauss definitely didn't want to be kicked out, in fact he explicitly appeals to Arthur as his friend. As for Arthur and Strauss' feeling about the gang's future at that point, I think both knew it was all going to shit but still trying to make the best of it so sure, Arthur may not be directly mad at Strauss as a person, but on Strauss' part, he was probably more hurt that Arthur "ended their friendship" and scapegoated him when he was only doing his part for the gang, just like Arthur and Dutch robbing and killing folk, and throughout the main story he seems to have hardly interacted with Dutch so he might be closer to Arthur within the gang, which is why he could only say to Arthur "You know, they say the sick delude themselves." From personal experience it's real hard to deal with a friend suddenly being so harsh towards you and shaming you in front of everyone else. Strauss not breaking down or getting mad shows his loyalty to Arthur and his confusion that Arthur made him the scapegoat over the other problematic characters in the gang (hence he thinks Arthur is "deluded"). So no, Strauss most likely didn't know what Arthur was doing. On Arthur's part I would also say he wasn't doing this for Strauss' good, he and Hosea mentioned in various parts of the story that no one lasts long out in these parts by themselves, which sadly is exactly what happened to Strauss.

Has anyone else noticed that Mark Johnson is very similar to John Marston? There are so many similarities between them that he's the only bounty I save from hanging after I turn him in. To me saving him is another example of Arthur showing that it's never too late to do the right thing and redeem yourself. This is a reason why this game is a masterpiece and a true work of art.

Both debtors represent Arthur to some degree, but they represent John a whole lot more. John ( the debtor) obviously represents John and his family fleeing the gang where his story starts, while Arthur and his family is very reminiscent of the end of John's story. A mother and son having to get by without the father who has died.

I personally see it as windows into the past and the future for Arthur. The first debtor represents Arthur's past regrets, and shows him what life could have been life if he had left the gang for Mary. Arthur Londonderry represents Arthur's future, and the future of his "family" (the gang). Both Arthurs gave everything they had for their families and it eventually killed them both. Arthur Londonderry's family represent the people that Arthur is going to leave behind, and that mission helps him realize that all he can do at this point is try to make sure the people he loves will be alright without him.

You know the video is good when the music starts right off the bat

I just finished the epilogue to this game last night after sitting on the whole game for years. This video release had perfect timing in that regard. The creators did an amazing job with all aspects of the storyline and the immersion of the whole game. I felt every emotion and really empathized with the characters. It makes me want a remaster of the first game to the same standard as RDR2.

I always thought J.John Weathers was a parallel to John because Arthur has to help both of them and their families escape someone who is going to kill them eventually. And Arthur Londonderry is a parallel to Arthur because both of them aren't there while their families are losing everything.

This video was heart-crushing for me, in a good way, of course. Thank you. I needed that.

Arthur Morgan is the only fictional character whom I can never forget in my entire life and yes I may say I respect him more than real life people he was the perfect man at the end.

All your videos really blow me away. The editing, research, time that is all evident you put into these. But this one made me emotional. This game is one you can play over and over again because you get to be a gun slinging outlaw. But theres more. There are emotional connections in the story that we get to make just like when we watch a film. And thats another big reason I come back to it. This video truly does that idea justice. Well done Strange Man

Now you're going towards the philosophical and emotional part of the game..I love that. Good news!! Cause it seems we can expect more videos like this
