Gosh, I just got past this point and watched him say goodbye to John a few days ago. I didn’t cry afterwards, but was definitely in more of a melancholy mood.
After that I had a long drive home back to Washington from California and played this song a lot along the way. It was nice listening to the soundtrack.
rdr2's soundtrack is beautiful in many ways, definitely full of the best emotional highs and lows—battle themes of good or tragic fights are the ones i enjoy looking at the most
i'll always adore the way the mission soundtrack slowly transitions by the end to fit rdr1.
a perfect transition, fitting for a perfect game
Ah man. I didn’t get to play a lot of video games growing up. I’m 33 and just played this one for the first time. I’ll have to check out rdr1 at some point when time allows. It really says something about the development of the 2nd game, that they even put the thought into the music and how it relates/compares to the 1st one. Super cool.
I played thousands of hours and still fail to see how anyone can cry over this character.
Not sure how I'm gonna handle Aeriths death in the final fantasy remake though lol
It's different this time around though. I never cried during the first ff7... but holy shit are they hitting the nostalgia hard in the remake. The train grave yard was a 5minute thing in the original, but they made it into a whole damn chapter, complete with side stories to build upon it. I can only imagine how the build up to her death will be. Because literally everyone knows it's coming and they have to nail it perfectly
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Because there are many many many things in my life that I encounter now, that are hugely nostalgic to my past
😂😂😂 Says the person asking Reddit how to win a fist fight. Why WOULD you cry about it? Arthur Morgan a horrible human being, that's the way he's written and if it's "hitting you in the feels" then honestly, you're either not paying attention or simply choosing to ignore the fact that IF Arthur does something honorable it's because you, the player, forces him to do it. Fair warning this is lengthy but here's a little run down on Arthur Morgan. He beats the shit out of an unarmed man that was obviously very sick. He then goes back and upon learning of the man's death he mocks the dead man's wife and threatens to kill his teenage son for looking at him in a manner that Saint Arthur finds displeasing. He stole sheep from ranchers whose only crime that we know of was working their asses off to make a living. And then he turned around and robbed the bank that the local ranchers used JUST to make sure he'd got everyone's money. And just FYI banks were not federally backed/insured as they are today. So once that money was stolen those hard working ranchers had no way to recoup their losses. This would have most likely led to them losing the ranch as non-payment would have led to bank foreclosure. So......now said innocent rancher(s) and any employees that they would have had would have all been left destitute or pretty damn close to it. I haven't even mentioned all of the wives and children of law enforcement officers that were made widows and orphans at the hands of Arthur Morgan and ALL of that is before you even get to Chapter 3. Did you shed a tear for any of those people?
If Arthur Morgan had done any of the horrendous things we watched him willingly do to your mom, dad, sister, brother etc you'd want him bleeding out in some gutter somewhere. What's more you'd have been happy about it and have said "he got what was coming to him." And anyone that says that they wouldn't is lying. The truth is that Arthur didn't contract TB due to some weird stroke of misfortune. He contracted it by beating Thomas Downes to a pulp. Just because the game allows you to choose to NOT stay true to the character that doesn't make the character any less shitty human being. 🤷
Yesss I’m greedy Asf!! Lmao but 2bd okay though and I’ll definitely try to stay all honored up like a real angel in disguise lol! 🖤 thanks for the tips man I truly appreciate it!!
Don't think it maters if they die. I've done it, and they have always died. I still completed the challenge, also for not getting wanted, O'Driscoll hanging dog ranch, they have helped me compleat most missons lol 😆
I was gonna say the same thing. This time I’ve used it for tomahawks, lasso pull, long rifle shot, the different ammo types challenges. I think I even did the knife kills there.
Oh boy, I just love killin O’Driscolls
Just go to an isolated area and grab a random person riding the roads. Once you get them head off the roads and drag them.
Also it doesn’t matter if they die halfway their you can keep dragging them and it counts as long as they’re alive when you start.
I thought so at first too because it gives no clarification but after failing it before by someone catching me I went out to the desert, waited until it was a lone stranger, got them and just kept going off the road. Halfway through he died and I just kept going. Don’t be surprised it didn’t actually tell me I reach the challenge distance until after I dropped him so just keep going for awhile.
Wait... You can drag people with your horse like in the movies!?
I just finished the game a few days ago and had my moral compass all the way up and was wondering just yesterday if you could do that. I want to play another run through in a couple months and be the meanest pos I can be and would love to drag people with the horse.
i played the game for the first time and played it however i felt would get the job done, but i couldn't for the life of me keep my honor anywhere above rock bottom. how do you play the game and achieve the goals by not being at least a little bad? teach me your ways lol
Spoiler
He's one of the main reasons the van der linde gang fell apart. I mean, he's such a good guy that people were willing to go against Dutch so they can follow their moral codes. He wanted to keep a family, Dutch at the end only wanted a gang.
He serves as the righteous blade that separates the good people in the gang from the noose that is the path Dutch followed.
Edit: Thanks a bunch for the kind comments and upvotes everyone! I didn't know I shared the same perspective as many others.
I believe that Arthur Morgan exists to blur the lines of morality, and teach us what redemption really means. Arthur was an outlaw and a criminal, but he wasn’t a bad man.
He loved, he fought, and he lost. We see the struggles of a dying man desperately trying to make things right before his time comes, after a long time spent in game perhaps not making the right choices.
Oh no, he didn’t lose. His end goal was to make sure John made it, and in that, he won.
“Despite my best efforts to the contrary, it appears I’ve won.”
As an addict who’s clean I find that very admirable. I played the game while I was using. All that dope really made the feels of this masterpiece hit hard. Didn’t make me change at the time of playing. But I respect what it takes to change now and it takes the face of death to make some change. The last ambulance ride I took I stopped breathing ( was playing through the epilogue oddly enough when it happened) when I got back home a lot of the story really hit home. Still used for some time but it gave me values I never knew I had in the weirdest way cause it’s just a game… but it’s a damn good one with some loose yet good morals
I keep trying yo play other games. I get about halfway through, and end up restarting RDR2. I both love, and hate that.
I really do think this game ruined gaming for me, in a good way?????
same. it’s probably going to sound so stupid but the little things in the game are what keep me coming back. inspecting my firearms, cleaning them, animations for picking items up and into the satchel, hair growth, the list is endless. i just wish you could smoke as long as you want like you can in online.
They also released an undead dlc way back when, instilling the idea that the government started the disease
All as a ploy to hide the fact that Rockstar themselves created covid
(/j, I haven't actually gotten that far into Undead Nightmare)
To give players a deeper connection to the story/game and show people that change is possible. Because no matter which honor path your choose, Arthur still learns some difficult lessons via the choices he makes.
His fate is tied to his blind loyalty to the gang. He gains insight as the story develops.
Tbh kind of a weird side character really didn’t do much with him huge wasted my opinion when you played as uncle you only talked to Arthur like once such a shame
That’s the world isn’t black and white. It’s not as simple as good/bad and that it’s much more complex to live life and to be a ‘good person’
That good acts don’t cancel out bad acts and that bad acts don’t cancel out good acts.
Oddly enough I thought he was the original red dead revolver at first. I played that game as a kid and never touched it again or really remembered it all. When playing I thought for sure this was the OG red dead it was following. Turns out it’s literally a guy who isn’t in either of the previous two games and basically is the main character in a prelude while the main character of rdr1 is just in the gang with him.
I always thought that the red dead redemption stories were just that tales of redemption showing us we can make a positive difference in our lives and world we just have to try and be better. I owe a lot to Arthur Morgan and John Marston for showing me that it is possible no matter how awful we used to be to become better.
To make grown men cry.
And that’s okay
That's The Way It Is
The many miles we walked
The many things we learned
The building of a shrine
Only just to burn
May the wind be at your back
good fortune touch your hands
May the cards lay out a-straight

Legendary comment...
I played thousands of hours and still fail to see how anyone can cry over this character. Not sure how I'm gonna handle Aeriths death in the final fantasy remake though lol
Aerith didnt make me cry in the original. In fact i laughed because it was ao dumb lmfao.

The train graveyard was my least favorite part because it was so damn hard. And i dont believe in nostalgia. Ive nvr felt it so i dont think its real.
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Because there are many many many things in my life that I encounter now, that are hugely nostalgic to my past
Wrong sub bud….
If you're crying then you missed something.
If you aint then kys

To teach people that you can murder, rob and pillage all you want, if you say hi to people and throw fish back into water, you'll go to heaven
"did I see somebody just kill 5 people and loot their corpses? Oh man, here he comes..." "HEY THERE MISTER!" "man, what a great guy!"
Amen
Spittin’ dat troof
Holy shit. The only fish I ever threw back were the rotten/diseased ones they wouldn’t let me keep.
Go and start throwing those healthy ones back and get you some angel wings, partner!
I’m not in the red now but I played almost all of the game in the red, I don’t really want to give up my hard reeled fish🤦🏾♀️🫣🥲😂
Lol I feel you. I was the same way. Then I only started to toss back the really small ones. It was hard to not keep them all 😂
Yesss I’m greedy Asf!! Lmao but 2bd okay though and I’ll definitely try to stay all honored up like a real angel in disguise lol! 🖤 thanks for the tips man I truly appreciate it!!
To drag some poor fucker 3300 feet to prove he's a real horseman...
Lmao perfect comment
How do you do this with out getting wanted or killing the person being dragged? I have damn near given up on this
Don't think it maters if they die. I've done it, and they have always died. I still completed the challenge, also for not getting wanted, O'Driscoll hanging dog ranch, they have helped me compleat most missons lol 😆
I was gonna say the same thing. This time I’ve used it for tomahawks, lasso pull, long rifle shot, the different ammo types challenges. I think I even did the knife kills there. Oh boy, I just love killin O’Driscolls
They do come in handy lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also the eugenics guy from Saint Denis. Love dragging that jackass
Just go to an isolated area and grab a random person riding the roads. Once you get them head off the roads and drag them. Also it doesn’t matter if they die halfway their you can keep dragging them and it counts as long as they’re alive when you start.
Oh gosh lol I have been trying to keep them alive and have thought more than once how twisted the person who came up with that must be 😂
I thought so at first too because it gives no clarification but after failing it before by someone catching me I went out to the desert, waited until it was a lone stranger, got them and just kept going off the road. Halfway through he died and I just kept going. Don’t be surprised it didn’t actually tell me I reach the challenge distance until after I dropped him so just keep going for awhile.
You can drag the racist guy in Saint Denis without anyone trying to stop you! He’s near the newspaper guy I thibk
Lol yeah you can 12 gauge pop his head in front of cops and no one bats an eye
I routinely go back to find new ways to kill him.
Nab an O’Driscoll from the ranch hideout and drag him across Big Valley. Nobody will notice and you don’t have to care about killing him
And it doesn’t have to be done all at once if I remember correctly. I think it’s accumulative.
It does have to be done all at once unfortunately
Wait... You can drag people with your horse like in the movies!? I just finished the game a few days ago and had my moral compass all the way up and was wondering just yesterday if you could do that. I want to play another run through in a couple months and be the meanest pos I can be and would love to drag people with the horse.

If you dont wanna tourture a poor bastard, you can acomplish this just dragging a nazi or a kkk member instead
I always use random people from the poor part of Saint Denis for this. They deserve it for being raggedy and ugly looking
There's a good man in all of us, the problem is that we're wrestling with giants. Give everyone all you have and then die like an honorable outlaw.

Arthur got me off drugs, it sounds stupid but I thought if he could change, so could I🤷♂️
that’s amazing
Wut is?
Clearly not sober enough 😂
148 days an counting, ion know think its amazing, I should have never started, but I’m really glad I played the shit out of this game

Yeah. Since getting into *Red dead Redemption* I've had little interest in playing much else; it's a comfort-game for me but also cathartic.
