As we mentioned, John was the brunt of quite a few insults. Throughout the game, you are able to antagonize John, and the results are just as funny as they are shockingly ruthless. Arthur teases John with the prospect of an impending wolf attack, calls him a spineless pansy, and makes fun of his inability to swim. We could go on, but we’d be here all day. We don’t know if these insults are in a loving, brotherly way, or genuine, spiteful insults. We’re going with the lat
The Van Der Linde gang used to steal from the rich and give back to the poor. The gang’s gradual decline is never more visible than their partnership with Leopold Strauss. Strauss gives terrible loans to folk with barely any money, and when they can’t pay, Arthur Morgan appears on collections duty. Without a doubt though the gang’s first step to becoming lost was doing business with Mr. Stra
First impressions can be very hard to shake. In the case of Micah Bell, he exposes himself as a violent, careless, sociopath almost immediately. Very early in the game, Arthur Morgan is tasked with breaking the aforementioned Bell out of jail. Arthur does this, and Bell repays the deed by immediately shooting up the entire town of Strawberry, and this is only the start. His influence over Dutch will lead to more drastic consequences down the l
Bill Williamson is very proud of his military service, he is not so proud, however, of being dishonorably discharged for deviancy and attempted murder. Williamson is a man that is constantly trying to prove himself, which often leads to mistakes and bloodshed. For example, Bill’s meeting with Sheriff Gray of Rhodes leads to an ambush and the unfortunate death of Sean Macquire. The final straw is when Bill sides with Dutch and Micah over Arthur and John knowing full well that Micah is the rat. He was dishonorably discharged from the military and had a dishonorable exit from the Van Der Linde g
Maybe Red Dead Redemption 3 will cover the glory days of the van der Linde gang, because there’s a lot of meat still left on this bone. For instance, the childhoods and upbringings of John and Arthur. When John was just 12 years old, he was caught stealing and was sentenced to hang, but Dutch intervened and ushered him into his gang. Similarly, Arthur was picked up by Dutch at a young age, and the two teenagers were raised as brothers under his arrogant and unlawful w
Dutch starts Red Dead Redemption 2 in an honorable light, even after the Blackwater Massacre. His long-time gang members try and defend his actions, but soon enough his true character comes to light. It is quickly revealed that Dutch killed a Blackwater woman in terrible fashion. This deed is followed up with his brutal drowning of Angelo Bronte, and Open World Games Collectibles merciless choking of a woman in Guarma. Dutch might have once been an honorable man, but by the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 , the player will realize just the kind of man he
The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase “Would you Kindly”. One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta
While Hosea being killed is certainly the moment where things turn from bad to worse for Arthur Morgan, he at least has the hope that he can get back home and live something resembling a normal life. Unfortunately, once returning from Guarma, Arthur is diagnosed with a case of tuberculosis that’ll end up killing him sooner rather than la
Perhaps most important of all, Arthur convinced John to run. While John also saw Dutch’s increased immorality and corruption, it was Arthur who finally convinced him to take his family and leave the gang behind. This conversation comes while the two are planting dynamite on Bacchus Bridge, knowing full well that this is the last time the gang works together. As Arthur tells John, “This is over.” Maybe John was always a devoted family man – he just needed a little push to break away from the alluring hold of the g
John’s time away from the gang resulted in a major rift between the two brothers. For much of the early game, Arthur is extremely hostile towards John. He implies that John shouldn’t have been welcomed back, he thinks that Dutch is way too kind on him, and he constantly insults John for his selfish behavior and seeming stupidity. You can tell that the two were quite close before John’s departure, but that left a major rift that took a long time (and a lot of violence) to m
