I was genuinely a good (cow) boy, but I exterminated every klansman I saw with extreme prejudice And that eugenicist guy Again, I'm always impressed with RDR2 and its nuanced depiction of the period. It's so easy to think everyone in The Past was racist, homophobic, etc. But people were all kinds, just like they are now, and it's not in the least bit implausible that this tough outdoorsman would despise racists, and be friends with fancy lads

Rockstar imo have always been very good at crossing racial and ethnic lines through setting up situations that allow for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06qTvjMEwlo (relations in the real world America were shall we say not great between black men and asian men in 1992) CJacobs fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Jan 28, 2024 |

I was surprised when the cops did nothing as I chased the eugenicist in St. Denis all the way onto a boat, hogtied him, threw him on my horse and rode out of town (an alligator ate him later). I wonder if its because he technically 'started' the conflict and I didn't use a gun or anything like that. I've noticed you can also pretty much knock out anyone who can be goaded into a fistfight, but tif you rob them afterwards suddenly everyone's a witness

What can I say RDR2's story has captured my mind yet again, so I feel obligated to write about some stuff. What's on my mind right now is how obvious it is to me, and yet not to others, that Arthur's change of heart has little-to-nothing to do with his TB diagnosis. I've seen multiple people elsewhere saying, "it was Arthur's impending death which forced him to change." And yet Arthur says plainly in Chapter 2 when he rescues Sean "Nothing means more to me than this gang. [...] I would happily die for it." Does anybody truly believe if Arthur had gotten that diagnosis in Chapter 2 or 3, he'd suddenly change his ways? The fact is, Arthur was pretty much done with Dutch in Chapter 5, before the diagnosis. How else to explain his asking Dutch point blank "you gonna strangle me next?" Arthur has never been shy about questioning Dutch's decisions or even his motives, but this is obviously a whole other level of...disillusionment and doubt. In the previous chapter, Arthur declares Dutch the best man he knows. Now he thinks Dutch might murder him. No, his dying has almost nothing to do with his decisions in Chapter 6. What really changed was he no longer believed Dutch was leading him or - more importantly - his loved ones anywhere but certain death. His own death means very little to Arthur. That's my take, anyway. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Feb 9, 2024 |

Yeah, Arthur was well on the road to disillusionment with Dutch but still devoted to what he saw of as the the spirit/intent of the gang, and as more of those he felt the closet to fell off the board I feel like it just strengthened both those ideas for him. The only thing I think the TB "decided" for him was that he needed to do something NOW rather than keep coasting along doing the best he could and hoping the "old" Dutch would return and doing his best to hold the rest together in the meantime. So he looks to John and his family and decides to give them the chance to make a fresh start, like he never could even when he did have a child of his own, and a chance for John to be with the woman he loved which was a decision Arthur hadn't been able to make even when given the chance.

I was thinking on what the "spirit animal" of the other gang members would be, and I never noticed this: Also further reading: quote:Dutch = Lion - Represents his fierce and proud nature and is also the National animal of the Netherlands Absolutely perfect.

Dutch strangling that lady also perfectly crystallizes the moment he turns from revolutionary ideologue to common bandit. He spends the whole time decrying the Western industrial order's exploitation of the underclasses but when he actually interacts with them, a peasant woman on a hosed up sugar plantation island trying to extort him, his first instinct is to murder her to protect himself. This moment is when Dutch becomes the sort of villain he's been railing against, just of a lesser degree

I do like how Arthur's turn against Dutch is a series of turning points, rather than one big moment. We as the player can see the red flags and hypocrisy creeping in way before Arthur does.

In all my billions of posts in this thread, I don't think I've ever talked about how much I love the Rhodes Gunsmith event. It's not a main mission, it's not a side mission, and yet the writing and voice-acting in it is so drat good. I watch a lot of first time players of RDR2 to get their reactions to stuff, and one of them just instantly shot the Gunsmith before he could explain himself. She missed all of it. drat shame. I was prepared to hate and shoot him, too, but then that backstory out of nowhere. I just couldn't do it after that. What do you all do?

I already assumed he'd lost a kid because if you look at the sign it reads "J Feeny & Son" under "gunsmith", yet Feeny Sr is manning the store and in the west that just wouldn't be. I didn't walk by the basement window til quite some time after doing lots of business with the man. The interaction in the basement was sad and I was real glad to help resolve it but I doubt he's gonna move on if it's still on the sign. I felt sorry for him but there's worse in Rhodes.

Go to the bar in Valentine (no, the other bar in Valentine) and talk to the guy at the counter if you haven't yet. After that, you look at the photos he gives you, I think.

Philippe posted:"Planet's dyin', Dutch." Being totally serious here, Dutch is probably more Barret than anyone else in FFVII's party. Cornwall would be a better villain if he had two underlings with distinct and lame evil laughs.
