It's kind of poetic how the game starts with Arthur finding John and bringing him back to the gang and ends with Arthur sending John on his way away from the gang, saving his life both times.
and honestly thats the only way rdr2 made sense. we are all older than when we played rdr1 so it feels like were now the older brother of our old selves. Dealing with the concequences of our actions. At least its like that for me
I remember when I first saw Arthur die and take his last breath, the only thing that I really thought was "That was the cleanest breath I've heard him take since Chapter 3".
Age Restrictions yes but there are many missons that you may have forgot rdr2 deserve not 2 but more than 2 playthroughs , what i like about rdr2 is that every chapter gives different feeling its like we are watching different movies or sequels of movies
Age Restrictions Its always funny to see reaction of people playing wolf ending because they are so shocked, they don’t know that they could have gotten a better ending if they had high honour. to be honest i also could have gotten low honour ending but i was spoiled on the internet but i was so much happy that my arthur wasn’t shot by micah
I found out I had cancer while on my first play through. I remember before I knew just how far it had spread through my body finding out Arthur had TB and him having to come to terms with his life ending short while I was doing the same. Damn shit still makes me tear up. Rdr2 is one hell of a game. Luckily I beat cancer. Wish I could say the same about Arthur
I thought the "Keep moving, Sir. Keep Moving! But Don't move too fast" is the game telling me to do the main story but don't rush it cuz Arthur will die
I took it as, to not rush through the story so you can utilize the other aspects of the game and hunt and craft and get everything out of it without rushing through the story too fast and arthur getting sick and dying.
Yep. I was actually bored in chapter 2 and then by chapter 6 i just wanted chapter 2 back. I wanted my gang back and happy rolling in money. Even if we didnt rob me and charles could keep us fed and straus loaning money could keep us clothed.
@@bluememe4652 Yeah. The toughest part was watching the scenes interspersed through the credits. The scenes of Ross tracking down John, which sealed his fate.
I felt so bad after Hosea died because I really liked him. going hunting with him and all that made me really happy.. He was more of a father for Arthur then Dutch ever could
Yeah, Hosea knew things were going south, but never undermined Dutch, even though he should have... He knew Micah was dangerous but never stood up to Dutch to kick him from the Gang.
I pushed through the story way too fast the first time around. The second time I played fairly quickly too because I did it dishonorably. The third time, though, i'll actually walk through most of the journey's.
Can’t say why, but Arthur’s death made me feel like I’d lost someone I’ve known for a long time, very depressing, but a testament to the game for making me feel the way I did
I played the game slow and finished it like after 3 months so, it really does feel like I lost someone close to me. Arthur's the only one that's there for me when people in real life isn't. So close yet so far. RIP Arthur Morgan, The Greatest Legend Of The East. 💔😪
I read somewhere that your brain can’t really tell the difference between fictional love and human love! so when you love a character and they die and it saddens you, that’s because your brain really thinks they died.
I lost it when they killed Hosea, but then Aurthur's death just hit me so hard. But I was happy to see John go on to live life to the fullest considering Authur sacrificed himself for John.
Johns death, And Arthur's death, Are the ONLY times a game has ever made me feel so emotionally hurt. When arthur fought for his life, And died at that sunrise, That made me depressed for a whole damn day. It felt like i actually lost someone i really knew.
Yeah it's sad how he fight with his evil past to redeem himself but keep struggling everytime he do it but in the end he win RIP Arthur Morgan The Best Man to ever live in my heart
My favorite quote is when Cassidy tells Arthur he will "stand firm" because Arthur's song is about standing unshaken. Geez, this game and it's foreshadowing. Nice video and great editing as always!
"Even when all reason is lost, and truth has become lie, you will stand firm. For loyalty is both your saving and your curse." That's my favorite one too. Especially that last line, it just sums up Arthur perfectly.
@@imnotaclown9603 no. This game was killed by rockstar when they went GTA 5 and stopped supporting the offline over their corporate greed with this broken boring online. We're supposed to be some outlaws and instead of robbing stores banks and trains we're down the GTA errands boy simulator with these properties. Not that I hate them much as I like bounty Hunter and collectors. But Traders is broken because the lack of animals spawn and cripps shenanigans with placing camp And moonshiners is simply not worth the effort doing. Traders is good but the fact that animals spawns are broken makes it not even worth the hassle. I like it but I'd prefer if take two stop their corporate greed and stop forcing broken DLCs to capitalize on gold bar sales and fix their goddamned game instead. And I don't know why you'd have a problem with 9 years old playing fortnite instead of RDO that's good less annoying squeakers to deal with. Let them have fortnite if it means they'll stay away from the game I play.
@@AMaidenlessRunt I don't play online often, when I do, i have fun. I play the story and just mess around with things. And I meant game of the year, fortnite won it when it should've been rdr2
We truly didn’t deserve the performance we got from Roger Clark as Arthur. So much emotion tied to his portrayal. He brought to life one of the most tragic gunslingers and one of the best written characters, arguably of all time. For that, I’m thankful I got to experience this all.
I still like John better. Arthur fights the image he has of himself, John fights his own nature. I guess which protagonist is better written is entirely subjective. John is an utter and total badass though, his one liners puts everything Sergio Leone has put on screen to shame so therein also lies my guilty pleasure.
Since RDR1 came out for PlayStation and i heard about the story(saw clips on youtube) - I longed for a RDR2 on PC(I just CAN'T play with controllers ..just can't!) - And finally it came! Tree years later, I still can't get myself to finish chapter 3 - I just keep roaming the land ..hunting, fishing, doing treasure hunt, exploring ..and enjoying the spectacular view - enjoying life! I can't bare to see him so sick and dying....
@Joshua Salsman I think the better interpretation is "to be born good (and stay good), or to resist the darker parts of you, forsake the evil you were inclined to do and repent?"
@@rinzler1801 True, but it's far easier to be born good and maintain that good and so it's the path unearned. To overcome inherent evils and attain a good moral standing through will and effort is far more noble as it requires a desire and conviction to become more than you are. It would be just as easy for someone born into evil ways to remain evil, but to actively seek to change from that evil and better yourself is no small feat.
Whenever I found out Arthur was sick I made sure to do everything I could to make amends and have fun, because when my father was stricken with cancer I watched him die as quick as Arthur. Something as simple as my dad laughing while watching TV was just... I don't really know how to explain it. It was just nice to see him having a good time while we weren't sure of how things were gonna turn out. If I could have done more with my father I would have, so I carried that onto Arthur.
Arthur is one of the best tragic heroes that has ever been written and I hope he is remembered as such. It would be such a shame for his story to be forgotten just because this isn't a book or play.
If you have played Rockstar games before you should be able to guess that the blind man wasnt talking nonsense. How ever, I did never understood what he was trying to say. But playing as John I did, given that I played RDR1
I love how down-to-earth Arthur is. He never claimed to be "the" (smartest, best, etc). He wrote a lot of idunnos in his journal and just was himself, I guess. In my 26 years of gaming I have never met a character who would be that much of a human.
“Loyalty is both your saving and your curse” sums up the whole game tbh. Arthur’s loyalty to Dutch made him die, Johns loyalty to Arthur and seeking vengeance for him even though Arthur told him not to look back. What a powerful line. Always gives me goosebumps. What an amazing game
I think it differently. He was a loyal person throughout the story. It was his curse because his loyalty was to a man that maybe at the beginning was reciprocated by Dutch, but at the end it was used against him, even the process of losing it was gradual throughout the game. But it also was his blessing because by showing loyalty to others like John and Sadie they were loyal to him even after death.
I found a lady in the bayou in rdr2 that also says ominous things, once she talked about a cycle of revenge, asking the player when will it end, or if we want it to end at all, i think she's talking about how John avenging Arthur by killing Micah alowed Ross to track him down and eventually kill him, and that made Jack also seek to avenge his father and leads to him killing Ross
maybe cassidy is the strange man (the actual one in game) in a different body guiding arthur hense why in rdr1 he said "some times i hide in others flesh, sometimes."
@@JustAnotherAccount8 I don’t know if I could pick a favorite between the two. But each time I play rdr2 or the Witcher 3 I get that thought. Might be a long time before we see anything better than those games.
after this game, every other game look so simple, cheap, meaningless.we dont deserve this game. absolute masterpiece, there is no game, movie, tv show on this world who can be in this rank. rdr2 than 10 ranks left than everything else
Dude, you’re an incredible editor. Granted the content you’re working with is a wonderful work of art, but you manage to do it justice, and get all the emotion, characters and true meaning of the story through to the viewer in only a few minutes. Today you made me relive a story that I love in a refreshing way, and I thank you for that! Edit: grammar
I always knew the old man was referencing and foreshadowing throughout my first time time playing, but when you connect them all like this, just hits abit harder, arthurs death is one I've truly never gotten over
not really bc then john wouldve stuck with dutch, there really was nothing he could do since if he left he would be leaving the other gang members and they mightve died
I thought too hard about that one. I searched every where for the man with no noes. I thought it was going to be a man with a deformed or damaged face.
God, this game has been out for over a year and I've replayed the story so many times and I still feel saddened over the Arthur's death and how everything else turned out.
Three saddest moments in the game, for me: 3: Lenny's death. It hurt so bad. I loved the guy. 2: My horse's death. I watched the cutscene where Arthur comforts his horse as she dies. It also hurt badly. I spent hours taking care of her. 1: Arthur's death. It hurt. It hurt so bad. I nearly cried.
Wasn’t ready for the transition at 14:07 and it literally made me gasp, such a simple edit like that was really touching. This entire video is an incredible edit.
One of the saddest videos I've ever seen. Seeing Arthur enjoy life while it last 👏 John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
Old Man Cassidy’s advice for Arthur to help John and his family live on when he couldn’t, oh man that had to be the best way Arthur could enjoy his final moments
People only will say he goes to hell is because they compare Arthur to today’s standards, for that time and the circumstances he was put through I would say Arthur would go to heaven.
damond green Nope, not from what he did at in the past, just because he done a few things good in the ending, doesn’t mean he’s good if he didn’t get Tb he would still be mean I think because he isn’t sick
sbrw He didn’t just do a “few” good things at all the points in the story he helps different people in need and does the right thing and he was still a pretty good man even when he didn’t know he would die but him dying made him realize that he needed to tie the loose ends before he left like getting the innocent of the gang to a place where they could live normal lives, and helping the Downes family after causing them to live a hard life, and in the end sacrifices himself by helping John get to get to his family to live normal lives instead of getting revenge on the people who betrayed him like Dutch and Micah.
The strange man is the most intriguing character. On the surface, his involvement seems minor, but you make it clear that he plays a bigger (even if subliminal) role in the whole story. I would love to have more about him, a dlc or a much more prominent role in a future game. I just cant get enough of this character. Great video and great channel, I pretty much binge watched all of your red dead mysteries videos.
@Tony & Paul The devil wouldn't persuade John to talk a man out of cheating on his wife. The devil would tell him to encourage the man. The strange man is most likely God.
Absolutely Love Your RDR2 Videos But Your Blind Man Cassidy Fortunes Video Is Definitely My Favorite. The Editing & Soundtrack Is Just Immaculate. Thank You For Your Incredible Hardwork, Please Keep Doing What You're Doing. Hoping This $10 Helps You Out.
Although Arthur can encounter the Strange Man in some way, at the shack in the Bayou area, I think the Blind Man is Arthur’s version of him. Telling him cryptic things and seeming to know more than he’s letting on. Even if you kill him he reappears elsewhere soon enough.
John can meet the blind man too, who says "two men seek you I'm unsure what the other wants" Something along those lines. He refers to the Pinkertons, and the strange man Edit: it's "two strangers seek thee, one from this world, perhaps one from another, one brings hatred, I'm not so sure what the other one brings"
@Honey Hive cartridges would misfire or fail to fire alot in those days with the science behind load the new, at the time Cartidge ammunition. Even though it wasn't extremely new it was still relatively new science and not able to measured as precisely as it is now. The failure rate had to be significantly higher just based on common sense.
4:14 I also think the point of "loyalty being also his curse" could mean that it was his loyalty to the gang which damned him in the first place - He was so loyal to the gang that he was willing to help Strauss with the loan-sharking despite knowing how detestable it is, and hating every second of it. And naturally...well...we all know how he got TB.
Encountered him twice as Arthur, and in pretty close time between each encounter. He feels more like a prophet, like an actual prophet of the Lord, because he was in two totally different places within such a short time and has a lot of knowledge. If not that, it definitely still feels supernatural. I gave Arthur the best possible ending with the highest honor. Anything less just feels non-canon.
@@1DancingDuck Yeah theres also a part in the epilogue when John meets back up with charles in Saint Denis where you can hear Arthur's voice actor as an npc.
@@jay-5061 lmao, pretty sure it's just a cool cameo. And considering Arthur wanted John to leave the past behind him and the whole gang reunion thing leads to the exact opposite, I doubt it.
@@shubhroy7960 How? Javier had his gun pointed up in the stand off (which the actor pushed for) because John and Arthur were family to him. And once it hits the fan, Javier and Bill take off. The only ones still gunning for them are Dutch, Micah, and Micah's two cronies.
@@mitchwhite6826 I won't say anything... Just watch the final standoff before Grimshaw's death in rdr2 and Javier's chase scene in RDR1, especially the scene before the chase
@@mitchwhite6826 Yeah, and he took Dutch's and Micah's side. You don't have to point a gun to betray someone, you can betray by just doing nothing when that person needs you the most. Like I said, watch that scene in RDR1 when Javier admits to betraying him. If you still don't get it then I can tell you have a thing for that annoying slimeball
"There's a good man within you, but he is wrestling with a giant" *Giant represents Arthur's strength before TB where he was buff and able to take down people like Tommy but too stupid and blind to see the error's Dutch is making, hurting decent people.* Good man represents Arthur's realization towards all that has been happening around Dutch and him wanting to give the money to the poor, not take it from everyone like Dutch was in chapter 6. Arthur became skinnier and weaker because of TB, but he saw things more clearly. *TB killed that giant that represented Arthur's strength.* All that was left was nothing but a sick, malnourished dying man who now begun to use his head instead.
The fact that Arthur forced John to flee as he went to make a futile stand makes John doing the same at the end of RDR1 more tragic. I like to imagine that John empathised with how Arthur was feeling in that moment. Doomed to die but being okay with it.
But Arthur didn't die fighting anyone but Micah. Even if he ran with John, Arthur would have died from TB at the bottom of the mountain. He was dead either way.
9:01 I think the blind man wants to say that Arhtur believes he is unlucky because he's dying, instead he's lucky because he knows it and he can do something to change and turn into a good man. Charles says something like that in the mission "The King's Son" when Arhtur tells him about his sickness.
This might just be the best channel for Red Dead content on TH-cam, every single one of your videos are so well researched and edited. You deserve way more subs...
Tbh, I interpretet the "That which is killing you will help you finally to see" line differently. It was the first one I heard from the old man when I started a second playthrough. It felt like the "seeing part" wasn't about Arthur realizing that the gang is falling apart because of Dutch. I much rather thought the sickness made him realize his mistakes and made him all the more appreciative of being able to help people instead of making it worse for them. Even though he was always a good man at heart, he often hid it behind the outlaw, the muscle, the enforcer. The criminal that he deemed necessary to protect and serve his gang - Dutch. But the sickness let his good heart finally shine through and helped him see what was important.
I think the meaning of this game is just enjoy life, help friends, and do anything you want and realize that family is the best thing you have to care before something called death meets you
Played this game 4 times. Once I went for the dishonorable ending and I absolutely hated every moment of it. Felt like I was killing Arthur even more by doing that. And felt so guilty for not helping John as well. Next two gameplays (since I switched to a different console) I helped John twice and wanted to see the stag rather than the wolf walking into the cave..
I feel like it is so much harder to maintain a bad walkthrough in this game because the karma/bounty system is really a thing. And things get back at you wayyyy harder. It's going to be more expensive, it's going to be hard to even get to know people, and.. Blargh. I really disliked it, PLUS the friends don't really like you AND the bad guys like Bill still shit on your ground, figuratively
I've seen the stag triumph into the fields of light and it feels like Arthur is entering Heaven. I've seen the wolf slink into the darkness of the caves and it feels like Arthur is descending into Hell...
"Embrace those who love you, not the memory of those who pretended to" Wow. This whole video hit me profoundly as this game came out during one of the worst portions of my life. I had just been stabbed in the back, stolen from and betrayed by those closest to me, people who I considered a mother and another who was like family, and who abandoned me and my family in our darkest time. This game really helped to shape a more positive outlook in the face of one of the most turbulent periods in my life. Outstanding development by rockstar my hat is tipped to them.
2:12 it could also refer to Arthur's very own confusing sense of morality, he knows there is a constant fight between good and bad in him (the honor system) 5:10 could also refer to the money ending, if you follow the analogy that Micah is indeed the devil, (the one with the forked tongue) the sacrifice is then Arthur's death, surrounded by fire and dead bodies.
"Your whole life you've been following the wrong" hits me emotionally and "you are not who you think you are,sir. Which is lucky" gives me goosebumps...
“I have a belief that the “Blind Man” is God in disguise, and who ever is fortunate enough to help a poor blind man will be judged and will be given true spoken words about his/her actions, heaven is referred as paradise!”
Every time I get to Arthur's last mission I start to cry that is how much of a great character he is and even now watching this video I'm starting to tear up. And sir you are an excellent editor and content creater keep up the good work
Dutch abandoning Arthur when he was being killed was the most moment that sat my heart on fire even more than seeing Micha beating up Arthur.. betrayal by the one he trusted the most in world for most of his life just feels frustrating..
''I see the morrows and see them clearly, sir. Even when all reason is lost and all truth has become a lie, you will stand firm. For loyalty is both your savings and your curse.'' damn man i love this blind cassidy character.
I have played through red dead 2 3 times The first time I did a good run and I got the best ending The second time I wanted to do a bad run but couldn’t get myself to do it so I did another good run And the third time I spent the 1st and a small bit off of the second chapter bad but then I got to whatever he’s name was where you decide to spare or kill him and I just couldn’t do it so I did a third good run
@@300subscriberswithmemescha3 personally i think the high honor ending with saving john is the canon one. Going back for the money contradicts Arthur's desire to save the rest of the gang.
@Arthur Marston exactly. Arthur's whole missions at the end of his life was to save the rest of the gang and especially John and his family. Makes no sense for him to go for the money.
I just can’t get over how beautifully Arthur’s character is written, and I certainly can’t get over his death. I keep playing different scenarios in my head where he doesn’t end up dying with tuberculosis and getting the happiness he deserved
"Embrace those who love you, not the memory of those who pretend to." That shit hits different

I read somewhere that your brain can’t really tell the difference between fictional love and human love! so when you love a character and they die and it saddens you, that’s because your brain really thinks they died.
Same I like rdr and saw people play it but I could never connect with John the way I connected with Arthur

And Johns death was iconic.
Gmodpies i was sobbing throughout the whole thing. When his horse died I cried. And then when Arthur died by the sunrise, I LOST IT 😭
I played the whole game with the horse you get from the start of the game. So it was very sad to see him die.
@@SirKattyCruz
Ya,.that was sad. When i started out,
I asked my 3 year old son to name my horse,
So the bond with my horse was strong.
"Theres a good man within you, but he is wrestling with a giant"
That made me cry 😢 😭 🤧
I can imagine Arthur wrestling with Big Show in his mind
I was wiping tears from then onwards
Yeah it's sad how he fight with his evil past to redeem himself but keep struggling everytime he do it but in the end he win RIP Arthur Morgan The Best Man to ever live in my heart

why
My favorite quote is when Cassidy tells Arthur he will "stand firm" because Arthur's song is about standing unshaken. Geez, this game and it's foreshadowing. Nice video and great editing as always!
This game was only beaten by fortnite because of 9 year olds.
Enjoy your upvotes weakling
"Even when all reason is lost, and truth has become lie, you will stand firm. For loyalty is both your saving and your curse." That's my favorite one too. Especially that last line, it just sums up Arthur perfectly.
@@imnotaclown9603 no. This game was killed by rockstar when they went GTA 5 and stopped supporting the offline over their corporate greed with this broken boring online.
We're supposed to be some outlaws and instead of robbing stores banks and trains we're down the GTA errands boy simulator with these properties.
Not that I hate them much as I like bounty Hunter and collectors.
But Traders is broken because the lack of animals spawn and cripps shenanigans with placing camp
And moonshiners is simply not worth the effort doing.
Traders is good but the fact that animals spawns are broken makes it not even worth the hassle. I like it but I'd prefer if take two stop their corporate greed and stop forcing broken DLCs to capitalize on gold bar sales and fix their goddamned game instead.

This video was a double gut punch, it hurts a lot
We truly didn’t deserve the performance we got from Roger Clark as Arthur. So much emotion tied to his portrayal. He brought to life one of the most tragic gunslingers and one of the best written characters, arguably of all time. For that, I’m thankful I got to experience this all.
Agreed, it's weird to think about he almost didn't get the part
Agree, Arthur and Geralt of Rivia are for me the best written characters the decate has to offer.
I still like John better. Arthur fights the image he has of himself, John fights his own nature. I guess which protagonist is better written is entirely subjective. John is an utter and total badass though, his one liners puts everything Sergio Leone has put on screen to shame so therein also lies my guilty pleasure.
Since RDR1 came out for PlayStation and i heard about the story(saw clips on youtube) - I longed for a RDR2 on PC(I just CAN'T play with controllers ..just can't!) - And finally it came!
Tree years later, I still can't get myself to finish chapter 3 - I just keep roaming the land ..hunting, fishing, doing treasure hunt, exploring ..and enjoying the spectacular view - enjoying life!

Joshua Salsman but if you were born good you have never known it’s true worth.
@Joshua Salsman I think the better interpretation is "to be born good (and stay good), or to resist the darker parts of you, forsake the evil you were inclined to do and repent?"
both are honourable
@@rinzler1801 True, but it's far easier to be born good and maintain that good and so it's the path unearned. To overcome inherent evils and attain a good moral standing through will and effort is far more noble as it requires a desire and conviction to become more than you are. It would be just as easy for someone born into evil ways to remain evil, but to actively seek to change from that evil and better yourself is no small feat.

Watching arthur having fun before he dies is a truly heartwarming and heartbreaking thing
Whenever I found out Arthur was sick I made sure to do everything I could to make amends and have fun, because when my father was stricken with cancer I watched him die as quick as Arthur. Something as simple as my dad laughing while watching TV was just... I don't really know how to explain it. It was just nice to see him having a good time while we weren't sure of how things were gonna turn out. If I could have done more with my father I would have, so I carried that onto Arthur.

they really need to make it a cinematic experience. But I fear Rockstar will never greenlight such a project.

@@orion-reeks 1st playthrough I played as honorable but I'm on the second playthrough and I'm dishonorable, yes.

If you have played Rockstar games before you should be able to guess that the blind man wasnt talking nonsense. How ever, I did never understood what he was trying to say. But playing as John I did, given that I played RDR1
I love how selective Arthur’s words are. He fumbles sometimes but when hes there to strike you it hits hard in every way.
I love how down-to-earth Arthur is. He never claimed to be "the" (smartest, best, etc). He wrote a lot of idunnos in his journal and just was himself, I guess. In my 26 years of gaming I have never met a character who would be that much of a human.
@DisLB Implore?
@DisLB when Dutch said that as a question to himself is when I lost all respect for him as a leader and a person.
@@youssifsamir796 you IMPLORE me?
You leave out one of the best: "You remember the past at the expense of the future" meaning John by getting his revenge on Micah sacrifice his future
If that's the case that's some meta shit
I loved that one and I agree, that’s what I always thought it meant
“Loyalty is both your saving and your curse” sums up the whole game tbh. Arthur’s loyalty to Dutch made him die, Johns loyalty to Arthur and seeking vengeance for him even though Arthur told him not to look back. What a powerful line. Always gives me goosebumps. What an amazing game
I think it differently. He was a loyal person throughout the story. It was his curse because his loyalty was to a man that maybe at the beginning was reciprocated by Dutch, but at the end it was used against him, even the process of losing it was gradual throughout the game. But it also was his blessing because by showing loyalty to others like John and Sadie they were loyal to him even after death.
I think he meant metaphorically "dont look back" in the sense that you need to escape this life.
The loyalty of Arthur was genuine, Dutch's idea of loyalty was that he was a puppeteer
I found a lady in the bayou in rdr2 that also says ominous things, once she talked about a cycle of revenge, asking the player when will it end, or if we want it to end at all, i think she's talking about how John avenging Arthur by killing Micah alowed Ross to track him down and eventually kill him, and that made Jack also seek to avenge his father and leads to him killing Ross

Arthur was Cassidy in his final moments... That is the only explanation
actually the las thing he did was fighting micah...
He fought Micah and finally made Dutch "see" before he died, so it wasn't the last.
maybe cassidy is the strange man (the actual one in game) in a different body guiding arthur hense why in rdr1 he said "some times i hide in others flesh, sometimes."
That is a cool theory actually.

Dude, you’re an incredible editor.
Granted the content you’re working with is a wonderful work of art, but you manage to do it justice, and get all the emotion, characters and true meaning of the story through to the viewer in only a few minutes.
Today you made me relive a story that I love in a refreshing way, and I thank you for that!
Edit: grammar
Yeah especially the part where it john walks into his house in rdr2 and then arrives in rdr1. I just find it very smooth editing
"Your whole life, sir, you have followed the wrong star"
Sunlight 4Life it hits hard but he followed Dutch cuz he was good Micah screwed Dutch up
I want advice like that
Don't I know it!
Tomori san don't you think that it was Micah who fucked up Dutch cuz Dutch was a goat in the start
Even after that folks still defend D Dutch.
I always knew the old man was referencing and foreshadowing throughout my first time time playing, but when you connect them all like this, just hits abit harder, arthurs death is one I've truly never gotten over
Im still getting over it:)
The right “Star” arthur should have followed was Mary linton when she asked him to run away with her
not really bc then john wouldve stuck with dutch, there really was nothing he could do since if he left he would be leaving the other gang members and they mightve died
Arthur would've still died of tb without helping John and his family escape.
Nah Arthur was dying and would have infected mary
Mary was just using him.

Well Vol De Mort does mean Flight of Death so you're not wrong.
He obviously met Red Skull🙄
God, this game has been out for over a year and I've replayed the story so many times and I still feel saddened over the Arthur's death and how everything else turned out.
The Amazing Angsty Teen - Man felt that 😔
You need to play RDR1 then.
Three saddest moments in the game, for me:
3: Lenny's death. It hurt so bad. I loved the guy.
2: My horse's death. I watched the cutscene where Arthur comforts his horse as she dies. It also hurt badly. I spent hours taking care of her.
1: Arthur's death. It hurt. It hurt so bad. I nearly cried.
The blind: ...a man with no nose is coming for you...
Voldemort: yes
Thats exactly what i tought
Your both are talking about me and Arthur how’s heaven

The music, the escenes, the editing....this is a masterpiece

@@thelogic3341 Yes, the term "Paradise" is more often than not attached to the idea of Heaven itself.
damond green Nope, not from what he did at in the past, just because he done a few things good in the ending, doesn’t mean he’s good if he didn’t get Tb he would still be mean I think because he isn’t sick
sbrw He didn’t just do a “few” good things at all the points in the story he helps different people in need and does the right thing and he was still a pretty good man even when he didn’t know he would die but him dying made him realize that he needed to tie the loose ends before he left like getting the innocent of the gang to a place where they could live normal lives, and helping the Downes family after causing them to live a hard life, and in the end sacrifices himself by helping John get to get to his family to live normal lives instead of getting revenge on the people who betrayed him like Dutch and Micah.
The strange man is the most intriguing character. On the surface, his involvement seems minor, but you make it clear that he plays a bigger (even if subliminal) role in the whole story. I would love to have more about him, a dlc or a much more prominent role in a future game. I just cant get enough of this character.
Great video and great channel, I pretty much binge watched all of your red dead mysteries videos.
A more prominent role would ruin it, the mystery is why you can't get enough of him
Maybe a blackwater massacre dlc with the strange man stranger quest
He's just John's conscience.
@Tony & Paul The devil wouldn't persuade John to talk a man out of cheating on his wife. The devil would tell him to encourage the man. The strange man is most likely God.

Although Arthur can encounter the Strange Man in some way, at the shack in the Bayou area, I think the Blind Man is Arthur’s version of him. Telling him cryptic things and seeming to know more than he’s letting on. Even if you kill him he reappears elsewhere soon enough.
John can meet the blind man too, who says "two men seek you I'm unsure what the other wants" Something along those lines. He refers to the Pinkertons, and the strange man
Edit: it's "two strangers seek thee, one from this world, perhaps one from another, one brings hatred, I'm not so sure what the other one brings"

4:14 I also think the point of "loyalty being also his curse" could mean that it was his loyalty to the gang which damned him in the first place - He was so loyal to the gang that he was willing to help Strauss with the loan-sharking despite knowing how detestable it is, and hating every second of it. And naturally...well...we all know how he got TB.
How?
Luiz Spindola Because of when he beat up Thomas Downes, he also got sick because Thomas Downes had tuberculosis
@Moo micah wasn't loyal and still died so its lose-lose for everyone
Strauss did nothing wrong. It's not like rich folk take loans
Encountered him twice as Arthur, and in pretty close time between each encounter. He feels more like a prophet, like an actual prophet of the Lord, because he was in two totally different places within such a short time and has a lot of knowledge. If not that, it definitely still feels supernatural. I gave Arthur the best possible ending with the highest honor. Anything less just feels non-canon.
Already know its gonna be interesting and absolute fire
Extraordinary work as always, Strange Man.

There are more besides those, he told me after killing micah: "You looked to your past in exchange of your future"
“Your whole life sir, you have followed the wrong star” is the most chilling one, especially if you get it really early on in the game
"There's a good man within you, but he is wrestling with a giant"
*Giant represents Arthur's strength before TB where he was buff and able to take down people like Tommy but too stupid and blind to see the error's Dutch is making, hurting decent people.*
Good man represents Arthur's realization towards all that has been happening around Dutch and him wanting to give the money to the poor, not take it from everyone like Dutch was in chapter 6.
Arthur became skinnier and weaker because of TB, but he saw things more clearly.
*TB killed that giant that represented Arthur's strength.*
All that was left was nothing but a sick, malnourished dying man who now begun to use his head instead.
Damn
i always thought the giant was arthurs bad side and that it would be hard for him to fully change his ways
The giant is just the nature of the gang and how bad it really is.
I thought the giant was Arthur keep thinking that he's a bad person. But you make a good, no. You make a great point.
now i kinda wish we had one more interaction with mary to see how she would react to Arthur near the end
The fact that Arthur forced John to flee as he went to make a futile stand makes John doing the same at the end of RDR1 more tragic. I like to imagine that John empathised with how Arthur was feeling in that moment. Doomed to die but being okay with it.
But Arthur didn't die fighting anyone but Micah. Even if he ran with John, Arthur would have died from TB at the bottom of the mountain. He was dead either way.

Tbh, I interpretet the "That which is killing you will help you finally to see" line differently. It was the first one I heard from the old man when I started a second playthrough. It felt like the "seeing part" wasn't about Arthur realizing that the gang is falling apart because of Dutch. I much rather thought the sickness made him realize his mistakes and made him all the more appreciative of being able to help people instead of making it worse for them. Even though he was always a good man at heart, he often hid it behind the outlaw, the muscle, the enforcer. The criminal that he deemed necessary to protect and serve his gang - Dutch.
But the sickness let his good heart finally shine through and helped him see what was important.
emotional moments like the death of arthur sends more chills down my entire body than the cold side of the pillow

Played this game 4 times. Once I went for the dishonorable ending and I absolutely hated every moment of it. Felt like I was killing Arthur even more by doing that. And felt so guilty for not helping John as well. Next two gameplays (since I switched to a different console) I helped John twice and wanted to see the stag rather than the wolf walking into the cave..
I feel like it is so much harder to maintain a bad walkthrough in this game because the karma/bounty system is really a thing. And things get back at you wayyyy harder. It's going to be more expensive, it's going to be hard to even get to know people, and.. Blargh. I really disliked it, PLUS the friends don't really like you AND the bad guys like Bill still shit on your ground, figuratively
I've seen the stag triumph into the fields of light and it feels like Arthur is entering Heaven.
I've seen the wolf slink into the darkness of the caves and it feels like Arthur is descending into Hell...
I always play the first 4 chapters with low honor doing the worst shit imaginable but then I redeem myself once Arthur gets sick
"Embrace those who love you, not the memory of those who pretended to" Wow. This whole video hit me profoundly as this game came out during one of the worst portions of my life. I had just been stabbed in the back, stolen from and betrayed by those closest to me, people who I considered a mother and another who was like family, and who abandoned me and my family in our darkest time. This game really helped to shape a more positive outlook in the face of one of the most turbulent periods in my life. Outstanding development by rockstar my hat is tipped to them.

This was the most beautiful thing ever made, an honor to the whole story/game. A new perspective! Thankyou
Every time I get to Arthur's last mission I start to cry that is how much of a great character he is and even now watching this video I'm starting to tear up. And sir you are an excellent editor and content creater keep up the good work
Dutch abandoning Arthur when he was being killed was the most moment that sat my heart on fire even more than seeing Micha beating up Arthur.. betrayal by the one he trusted the most in world for most of his life just feels frustrating..
he is abandoning himself, he left alone not with micah (or killing him on that point)
I love how no matter what theory or easter egg gets explained, it will most likely involve the Strange Man
Death is the one that takes the beauty and ugly in life away, whether we want or not it's coming one day
''I see the morrows and see them clearly, sir. Even when all reason is lost and all truth has become a lie, you will stand firm. For loyalty is both your savings and your curse.'' damn man i love this blind cassidy character.
I have played through red dead 2 3 times
The first time I did a good run and I got the best ending
The second time I wanted to do a bad run but couldn’t get myself to do it so I did another good run
And the third time I spent the 1st and a small bit off of the second chapter bad but then I got to whatever he’s name was where you decide to spare or kill him and I just couldn’t do it so I did a third good run
It is like this. I never was a bad person in the game and I can’t even go back for the money
@@300subscriberswithmemescha3 personally i think the high honor ending with saving john is the canon one. Going back for the money contradicts Arthur's desire to save the rest of the gang.
U mean anthony foreman
I played through 3 times ,the 3rd run became bad when i decided to kill that guy that remembered arthur from blackwater
@Arthur Marston exactly. Arthur's whole missions at the end of his life was to save the rest of the gang and especially John and his family. Makes no sense for him to go for the money.
I just can’t get over how beautifully Arthur’s character is written, and I certainly can’t get over his death. I keep playing different scenarios in my head where he doesn’t end up dying with tuberculosis and getting the happiness he deserved
The saddest and most heart breaking thing I've ever heard about rdr2.
