There just something about Arthur that makes him different to any other protagonist in a video you’ve ever played you genuinely get sad for him when he gets diagnosed with TB or even cry when he eventually dies
@hammerheadtheseawing3263
Жыл бұрын
I think that comes from his potential when he dies. Although he had shown that he was a good man, it was ultimately his TB diagnosis that was the catalyst for him wanting to redeem himself and save who he could. Ironically, without TB, Arthur might’ve stayed with Dutch long after the split up.

@@hammerheadtheseawing3263 That’s not entirely true. I will say I do agree with you on the part where Arthur getting TB made him change into a better man and make better decisions. But with or without TB. Arthur knew the gangs demise was coming. Dutch was changing drastically. Micah was in Dutch’s ear 24/7. Members of the gang started leaving due to Dutch’s actions. There’s no way Arthur would’ve stayed with the gang even if he didn’t have TB. He wanted John and his family to get out of the gang and live their lives because Arthur knew John still had a chance in this world. John had a family to live for. Arthur on the other hand. The only thing he was living for at that point was to make sure John got out alive. Which Arthur did successfully at the cost of his own life.

I am of the mind that Arthur is, as a foil to John, a good person who does bad things. John, by contrast, is a bad person who, despite himself, does good things.

In the end, both games were the best yet, with a nice sense of satisfaction from a well-played timeline. Thanks for this video man. A truly moving story.

Man o'muneh arthur morgan Arthur originally was a very explorotive person as he likes writing in the journal. Also to note in the Aberdeen pig farm before it gets wierd arthur actually has a smile in the cutscene before it gets strange so he clearly was grateful for the invitation despite rejecting the offer earlier Honestly if arthur had no redemption arc he probably would of just been seen as the man who saved John and that was it. The redemption arc made him so much better with showing he is human too with regret unlike Dutch.

Nah tbh without TB he wouldn’t have change and more likely side with dutch since he wouldn’t have a redemption arc
Arthur was only around 14 or 15 when he joined the gang meaning that during the events of the game he had been with the gang for 21 years. makes it all the more heartbreaking when dutch went mad
So recently went to the veterans homestead and I cried remembering Hamish. and I'd like to know his full story behind the old not so crippled outdoors man

I think Arthur was upset with John leaving without Jack and Abigail, as he was still hurting from losing his girl and son. After all, it was Arthur who kept trying to convince him to break off with them and leave the gang.

Thank you for the amazing content ! Since I'll never be able to run any RDR on my old computer, I've been binge watching all your videos for the last few days and I have to say, it has been incredible. The amount of efforts with the research, the editing, the beauty of your scenery shots, and your story telling is truly amazing. RDR2 is so detailed and extensive, all these stories are absolutely fascinating. I can't believe how deep these guys at Rockstar can go. My favourite so far are the Nosferatu nod and the Francis Sinclair mystery, I was not expecting that at all. Keep up the good work my man, this is unquestionably very high level youtube content.
One of the best fictional characters ever! Great vid as expected fizhy
I found some witch's hut north of mt. haagen. in the very corner of the map. I think it was called "the hermit woman" in arthur's journal. I can't remember. If you haven't made a video on it yet, I think you could take a look and see what story may be lurking.
One of the best characters I have ever been able to play, I am on my second playthrough and I am trying to my best to be overall good, doing natured things for people doing the side missions and helping anyone along the path that pops up, also taking care of my horse feeding n grooming I try my best to keep Arthur on a good diet but TB is a struggle tho. One thing I have always loved about RDR2 is the world around you feels alive and its actually changing all the random encounters you can cone across is wild, but the only thing thats been annoying me is the brit who's looking for his hallucination friend gavin popped up at least 5 times now
Arthur morgan will never fail to make me tear up
Here’s a question I have for anyone willing to respond: if Arthur hadn’t contracted TB, and someone else found out Micah was a rat, do you think he would be against Dutch like John or would he stick with him like Bill or Javier? Personally, I’m leaning towards the latter. But this is why I love this game so much. Makes you wonder.

I think he would've stuck with Dutch, for a while longer at least. It was getting sick that made him see things clearly, lifted the cloud Dutch had over his mind. Arthur even says it himself a couple times all that really mattered to him, all that he believed in, was loyalty. Only sickness made him realise how silly that was. And even after his complete change of heart and outlook, he was still trying to reach Dutch, he didn't get to a point of hatred, just sadness and disappointment. And sure, he hated Micah, but he always hated and didnt trust Micah, he wasnt walking away from loyalty to Dutch/his family just cause someone he didn't like was there.

This game, arthur mostly. Makes me. So sad. I cried all 9 minutes of this video.
There is so much I want to know about early days of Arthur, Dutch, Mac and Davey and all the crew. There is so much mystery to what it was like and how they formed the next game HAS to be about the early days when the Wild West was in more of its prime than it was in 1899. That would be such an awesome story

It’s always been suggested that Arthur was from Welsh heritage. He’s built like one, Morgan is a Welsh surname, Boudicca is seen as a Welsh heroine and he also says his family aren’t English. I will always be biased being a Taff as well but that’s fairly compelling evidence.
You’re telling me Arthur is only 36 years old in RDR2?!

A classic, i actually shared your chanal
I wish they had told us of Arthur's murdered family sooner. It's a strong reason to explain why Arthur is such a savage killer on occasion.
This was great plz do john now or do a video on undead nightmare
Just wanted to mention that during 3:37 you say that Barry Linton(Mary's husband) passed away from an unknown illness. Truth is that we know which illness it was, it was pneumonia, Mary says that to Arthur when they first meet in RDR2. I instantly remembered it but had to check the wiki to make sure, crazy to think I recalled such a small detail.
I dream every day that Arthur made it out of Rdr2, married Sadie and killed Micah himself.
I like these, it's a compendium of our favourite rascals.
I just realized Arthur’s hat was his father’s
The fact that makes me emotional is that there’s no record Arthur Morgan exists in the future universe except from in a book whilst his fellow gang members can all be confirmed as existing
When I think of the spirit of the West it used to be Clint Eastwood from Rango now it's Arthur Morgan
After playing Rdr2 I went back to rd 1 and whilst playing I realised that the story behind rdr1 is revenge, John wanted to avenge his brother Arthur which is so heartwarming, it goes to show Arthur wasn’t the only good one, John was too ❤ RIP to probably 2 of the best protagonist to hit the gaming industry ever
