Riding about as Arthur near the end is just peaceful, I enjoy having him relax between missions just riding, hunting and helping others
@bastiat4855same for me but i hogtie them and throw a dynamite at their face
Yeah i freaking love riding between missions while hearing the ambient song on the background, it's very relaxing and ease your mind, i could literally ride for hours and i wouldn't get bored.
I gotta give it to Rockstar, they really nailed the exploration of the game.
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
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.
Yup 8 years of development
@@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.
Arthur became my favourite protagonist instantly, just barely above solid snake and commander sheperd
I could have cried if I didn't spoil the ending for myself
I can understand why Arthur held on to his grudge of John for that long.
He had what Arthur once lost and held dear, and he tossed it aside. Had to have been a pretty sore wound.
shit, never thought of it that way, that's actually brilliant. thank you.
And when John left the first time it was probably right around that time 😭
That's how I understood it on my first playthrough, since I've experienced it firsthand with my own father so I was in jacks shoes,but with Arthurs understanding and knowledge
Wow I never thought of it like that. Damn
I desperately need a fic of arthur yelling at john in the middle of camp to be a proper father to jack because arthur didn’t get to be one to his own son and getting all choked up. More than anything in the world.
Wouldn't have minded Rainsfall picking up herbs all day just to know more about Arthur
Agreed
Fr
Rainsfall: Sorry to interrupt the tragic story of your son, but THERE IS SOME GINSENG OVER HERE.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 🤣🙌
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 nah fr🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RDR2 honestly sparked a love of history in me. The 1800’s was such a fascinating era of American history that unfortunately gets eclipsed by the Civil War but there’s a lot more to the era to learn about.
Ikr same, I always fancied myself a history nut especially in school, but like all they ever taught us was the civil war, WW1, and hella WW2 lol
@@daiserpuff6859 and the holocaust 24/7 lmao
Wasn’t so fascinating in the eyes of blacks or natives I bet.
@@BhatiHmmFishGuy exactly
American labor struggles post civil war is a favorite of mine.
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.
Oh that’s brilliant. Good work to you for this
And they both found redemption in the end. Come to think of it, the dead redemption title is surprisingly literal.
This was beautiful
That’s actually a great way to see it. I’ll be thinking about that now and again lol. Cheers
As Reverend Swanson said: "You lived you're life like a man, Arthur. And you turned into a good man. If we were all like you, things might've turned out differently."
And that's why Arthur could say right before his death: "In the end, Micah, despite my best efforts to the contrary, it turns out I've won."
my last two times playing rdr2 i have played at a very slow pace, trying to enjoy the game as much as i could, traveling, exploring, helping people, eating and sleeping well, bathing very often, getting well dressed, taking good care of my horse. 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.
its just a game dude
@@fordsmith9648 yeah. And life it’s just life. Man, you can do whatever you like with yours and live the way you like it, but let the other enjoy theirs the way they want to.
On my first attempt since I've already played gta 5 my aim was incredibly well and I beat the entire game in 3 days (my best one being 2 days) and when I made it to the end for the first time I actually cried also the music always makes me cry it's so emotional for some reason
You creepily obsessed Arhur fans are on a whole nother level of weird. JFL.
@@GLKHDman stfu let people enjoy
arthur is on a whole other level, man. he’s so near and dear to our hearts - how often is a character so universally loved?
Joel from the last of us
Master chief and kratos are up there

@@theartshow1476 valid
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
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.
b-but muh arhur john man bad! mu-muh arthur did nothing wrong!
Nah tbh without TB he wouldn’t have change and more likely side with dutch since he wouldn’t have a redemption arc
I still cry for Arthur- he reminds me of my father
You must have an amazing father
@@Freaky_Watermelon_69 I do🥹 my pfp looks just like him lol
He left with for the milk didn't he....
@c10central57 hilarious considering your pfp now
I feel silly for not connecting the dots in regards to Arthur's feelings towards John in the first half of the game for what he did to them, Abigail and Jack and the way that relates to his relationship with Eliza and Isaac, myself.
how could you connect the dots in the first half. he only tells rainfall in the latter half of the game
No matter how many time I play the game his death ALWAYS make me tear up. No piece of media has ever made me cry and im a movie and television buff. Its the greatest game of all time and I believed they captured lightning in a bottle and personally believe there will never be a game quite as good again.
For some reason, I thought Arthur met Eliza before he met Mary.
same
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
just started replaying rdr2 after i played it when it first came out and i love how the community is still alive and how you are still making videos
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.
When I started playing this game for the 1st time, I consider Morgan just to be another video game character. As the game went on he became so much more. He has a depth and character that makes him so much more.
Yes soon he will have invented the Universe itself if we have to believe you overly weird Arthur simps and there will a picture of him in the dictionary next to the word ''good'''
@@GLKHD Sounds like you have an issue with the game.
@@loudelk99 No, I love it and in terms of everything besides the RDR2 community I agree it is way better than the first one, but that is mainly due to technical reasons and the console limitations of back then. The constant retarded John hate is dumb hate gets really old. Even Arthur would've thought sp as obviously John was a dear friend of him especially towards the end of the game.
@@GLKHD I know what you mean, the 1st game gave me fits with the way it played. The 2nd was a lot more fun with the free rove missions
Arthur is my favorite character ever in any genre of entertainment
After uncle maybe
@@rickrozen2341 uncle isn’t a character, he’s a personality and way of life
@@Bmoneydollarsign Uncle isn’t an uncle he is the god of uncles. Whenever the uncle of a child dies then uncle arrives at the scene to replace said uncle.
this character is so unique to me that i literally restarted the campaign and wont proceed through main missions so i know hes still alive
Arthur's story always brings me to tears 😭
You’re telling me Arthur is only 36 years old in RDR2?!
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
Just what I needed on my lazy Sunday morning....a video on the origins of my fave boah in video gaming history!
Can't explain the love I have for Arthur, the greatest character I've ever had the honour of playing, a true masterpiece of a man.
poor Arthur
I love him almost like a real person
I mourn his fictional death
rest in peace dear Arthur
He’s a great character. Well done.
Arthur morgan will never fail to make me tear up
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 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
His reputation of being loyal to Dutch that everyone could see apart from Dutch himself
High honor Arthur is what we all aspire to be, and that's why I personally think we all get so attached to him.
One of the best fictional characters ever!
Great vid as expected fizhy
Tartar sauce is now called Arthur sauce in my house in memory of this amazing game.
2:00 I believe because of this Arthur didn't "love" his father but looked up to him or respected him more as he matured because his father was an outlaw just like he ended up being
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'm 100% sure arthur wouldn't have sided with dutch. .he never liked Micah..plus he saw dutch changing and started to question everything dutch did ..I think arthur would've tried to find a qay to get his share of the gangs saving and ran away with Mary..he really wanted to be with her
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.
I don't think he would have sided with Dutch because he already starts doubting him in Guarma (when Dutch kills that old lady for example). I believe his diagnosis just made him realize even quicker what kind of person Dutch really was/turned into.
@@someuser8557 he started doubting him even before gaurma jus after gaurma he started being a little more vocal. He use to write alot of his feelings in his notebook .idk the dialogue difference between high honor and low honor arthur but I played with a mid honor and he had a lot of doubts
@@sleeperoonigetting sick isn’t what “lifted the cloud Dutch had over Arthur”
Arthur is inherently a “good” person and would have realized Dutch is manipulating and self serving eventually, regardless of his tb
i cant get enough of this game
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.
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
John wasn’t doing it for revenge. He was doing it because the government kidnapped his family and forced him to
4:56 Apparently Eliza was originally going to be in the game but was cut out. And in some dark cut content baby Isaac would freeze to death in Chapter 1.
Fizhy has been dropping fire lately, shows how alive the rdr community still is.
This is like a history class
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.
Just finished the game a second time today. I still cry my eyes out on his last ride and when in the end (I let him die facing the rising sun twice. Just couldn't bring myself to do anything else.)
i've completed it 5 times and every time since the first playthrough I've said "I'm going to do the alternative ending or I'm going low honour" 4 tries later and my high honour Arthur still dies watching the sunrise. XD
@@cannibalbunnygirl yeees! I just can't bring it over my heart to let him be low honor. I don't want him to catch a bullet from Micah and I don't want him to go after the money and abandon John
@@kuromatsu1539 I know! I've watched the other endings on TH-cam and seeing Micah laugh as he kills Arthur...it's all too much
@@kuromatsu1539 it's not going after the money. Its going after Micah. Dying man don't need money.
@@grilledleeks6514 I had the end decision a day or two ago and I had the choice to either help John or Go after the money? Then again yeah Arthur already knew that he was done for... I dunno maybe he wanted it for John or something?
Great video. I love Arthur. Miss him
Great video! The perfect introduction to the amazing character that is Arthur Morgan.
Rockstar could’ve just made John and Arthur best pals but adding that extra layer of resentment is amazing character work
I could easily listen to a several hour long origin video of my boah!
I just realized Arthur’s hat was his father’s
"No one would have me"- Arthur Morgan
I dream every day that Arthur made it out of Rdr2, married Sadie and killed Micah himself.
This game, arthur mostly. Makes me. So sad. I cried all 9 minutes of this video.
Arthur has been the background of my computer for....like......3 years now. You can't turn on my computer without seeing Arthur twice.
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.
I'm in full hardcore game mode right now and needed his back story for my moral decisions.
Arthur has one of the most depressing fucking backstories I’ve ever heard; dude basically got Magneto’d.
Mary's husband name was Barry. He died from pneumonia, it is mentioned when she first meets Arthur in ''We Loved Once and True I & II''.
I just installed RDR2 on my new computer that basically has the best hardware currently out. I just got done installing all the mods I will use. Mods are primarily visual enhancements. This is my second play through, my first was years ago on my crappy old computer. It looks so amazing on my new build with mods, I wish I could go back and have my first run on this computer. Your video got me hyped to play. I’m going to go super slow, and enjoy this masterpiece.
Arthur Morgan is the best video game protagonist ever
I'd love to play as Lyle Morgan in red dead redemption 3
Red dead 3 should be Arthur’s dad and trying to survive and meet Arthur’s mom, after his dad’s passing we should play as Arthur again and continue the epilogue getting closed with Dutch and Hosea
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'm a man of few words
Roadhouse
I would like to play as arthur before blackwater heist
I like these, it's a compendium of our favourite rascals.
At least Arthur is reunited with his family now
now that ive heard about his entire life his death sadens me even more
I have this belief that Dutch ordered the hit on Arthur's family to stop him from leaving the gang. Dutch is a narcissist and would do anything to sway favor in his direction; with the support of Arthur and Hosea; even though they both knew Dutch to embellish his philosophical ideologies onto others.
I highly doubt anyone in the gang knew about Arthur's son since he's usually quiet when it comes to personal stuff.
@@beavers1978 I'm pretty sure Dutch and Hosea were well aware of Arthur's adventures outside of the gang; to check up on Eliza, and could put two and two together and realise he also had a son. It would be pretty hard for Arthur to keep that kind of a thing a secret for long.
I don’t think that quite fits into Dutch’s progression as a character. He was described as keeping himself very controlled and dedicated himself to principle, which slipped over time marked the murder of Heidi McCort on the Blackwater ferry. Narratively, it doesn’t make sense for him to have been making insane actions prior to his insanity.
IF, they have a RDR3 , I'd like to go back to the formation of the Van der Linde Gang, the early days up through the Blackwater Massacre, just to close the loop, I guess I just miss Arthur.
Arthur rivals Master Chief and Doomguy as the greatest protag of all time
U should do this for all the gang members
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
If you wouldnt have started talking i would most likely have cried. ❤
Rest In Peace, Mister Morgan
bro i really hope rdr3 will be a prequal to rdr2 so likemaybe 1893
I think if they were to do a rdr3 it should be about the events before rdr2 and u would get to see the Blackwater massacre and find all the gang members and see them join
When I think of the spirit of the West it used to be Clint Eastwood from Rango now it's Arthur Morgan
I dunno how or what about but you need to make longer rdr2 videos. Entertaining af
One of my biggest gripes about the game is Arthur never gained fame and notoriety amongst the town folk and news papers like John did in rdr1. He deserved it
arthur is my favorite protagonist ever next to ezio. roger clark’s performance is the greatest in video game history imo
I love you
Just so you know Fizhy, I liked this video so much that I made a qr code and put it on a custom phone case. The qr code leads to a link and the link takes you here to this video. So if anyone ever sees this qr code and thinks I wounder what that leads to then scans it, there you go, another view.
It’s so rare that I get emotionally invested in games anymore. This game and Final Fantasy 15 hit really deep for me
Fizhy, I accidentally made my Arthur look like you. And it's scaring me.
do an origin video of Karen, Mary Beth & Tilly…
If Arthur Morgan exist in real life. He is gonna be meme or feature in so many mediums. History Channel would be hell a lot more entertaining or anime of the gang.
Wtf
Arthur Morgan is probably the best video game character in the past 10 years
Man I am early to this video usually don’t get to them this quick
Arthur is a really good character, RDR2 is a great game
There are ao many people who wander if Arthur used Abigails services like the rest of the boys due to Dutch saying "we all had her" but I wholly believe Arthur was an exemption for 2 main reasons.
1. Unlike the rest boys in the gang, Arthur suffered a terrible loss as the consequences of a one night stand with a young girl and it clearly traumatised him. He learned that a moment of pleasure can lead to a lifetime of hurt. So he wisely stayed clear of any sexual encounters, even prostitutes.
2. Arthur was not even thought up when they made RDR1 so Dutch ould be only refering to Himself, Javier, John and Bill. Though Bills sexuality is in dispute so maybe not Bill.
Great video Fizhy!
Ready with a glass of pinot noir
Ever since I saw his photos of his father, the old pictures of him, Hosea, and Dutch, and the dog Copper. I have always wanted a prequel showing young Dutch & Hosea, and I wish they'd of put Copper in the game, like Chop for GTA 5, but not making it through the whole story just to have more heartbreak lol
You are my only source for info when it comes to this game, I don't need anyone else. Well, technically I use IGN to find dream catchers and such but you know what I mean. Great video, thanks again.
watch strange man
god they need to add more shit to story mode. Rockstar needs to show the story some love.
Thank you for that information it brings us know more about arthur and John
Just might be the greatest protagonist ever created. Be it stage, cinema, book or otherwise. Thanks Rockstar.
I had forgotten about Isaac Morgan when my son was born and I named my son Isaac
Now we need to see the origins of Hosea.
Now I'm late be introduced to RDR2, having only purchased it around this past Christmas time. It has easily become my favorite game to date by far, and I'm sad it took so long to get into it.
Now, to my point; I finished my very first playthrough recently, and the horse I rode throughout the game, whose death I mourned along with all of us, I absolutely shit you not, I decided to name Boudicca.
I am legit flabbergasted and so so happy 😂😂😢😢
he was born, and the earth shook, no 🧢 I was there forreal
They should make a red dead live action
The most well developed character in the western-based games
Honestly I’m a little confused to when he would have had Isaac and when he fell in love with Mary
It was after that relationship fell apart courtesy of Mary's father. Arthur never loved Eliza, it was a one night stand I believe.
