They wouldn't have gone to Beaver Hollow if I think about it. It was Micah who informed the Pinkerton's about the Saint Denis bank robbery. So, they might've actually made it to a boat and fled to the South Pacific

I think Dutch wouldn’t have gone to the “truce” meeting with Colm O’Driscoll, and Sean probably wouldn’t have died when he did, as the “job” they did was mainly because of Micah manipulating Bill into it and the latter not being sharp enough to notice. Also, the Pinkertons may not have found the gang at Lakay and may not have found Beaver Hollow in chapter 6 either; the gang standoff would never have happened.

In terms of the gang, it’s hard to say if it would’ve fallen apart or not. I suspect John would’ve left and Arthur may still have helped him, but all the main remaining members except for Charles may well have stayed with Dutch. Arthur still would’ve died, due to his TB.

You might be right actually I was just talking about beaver hollow because I was having a conversation with my dad (he’s a big rdr fan) about who would stand with Arthur and I said John, Susan, Sean, Hosea, Lenny, Sadie and the callander boys

Yeah, that’s kind of the irony - most of the gang members who died probably would’ve chosen Arthur’s side during the standoff, as would Sadie and Charles if they were there.

But yeah, as I said before, it wouldn’t have happened at all if Micah wasn’t there.

The standoff wouldn't have even happened. Javier and Bill are just followers. It's Micah who did all the planning and whispering in Dutch's ear.

It’s a shame that we never got to see Davey and Mac in action alongside Arthur they sounded like absolute nutcases

Bill was too thick to notice that Micah was twisting everything and I think Javier knew but he was too loyal to the gang

Things would've been different for sure. But a lot of them would've died anyway. Without Micah, Dutch wouldn't have gone after Cornwall. Dutch would've still killed LeBronte, and who knows who the Pinkertons would've been able to kill. Honestly, I don't know too many 19th century gang members and outlaws who lived to retirement. RDR and RDR2 wouldn't have been exceptions.

Arthur would've gone back to camp to report the news. While I don't think no one in particular would be upset, I think Dutch would still mourn for him... maybe send Arthur and Bill/Javier to see if they could get the body back... though probably not cuz they already had enough attention down at West Elizabeth.

Arthur would still get TB yeah... but I don't think things would've fallen apart like they did in the last chapter...

The world will be a better place
