Red Dead Redemption (mission)

Just finished the story (cried a lot) and got the ending where he sits by the mountain. But I know what the other endings are so is mine canon?

The death of Arthur's horse is sadder than Arthur's death, change my mind. Usually, I don't care for horses in rdr1, but in rdr2, goddammit, they're so realistic and loyal to Arthur that I can't even play the final mission without at least getting goosebumps.

I mean, come on. Rockstar even had to add the detail of the horse crying as it reaches closer to death. And Arthur comforting his loyal steed... damn it, Rockstar, why do you have to make endings in the red dead redemption franchise so sad?

Of course, I am biased. For two reasons:

1. I love horses

2. I get upset over silly things. In mid-2023, a friend gave me a birthday card because it was my birthday, and once I opened it, I immediately started crying. It doesn't make sense how I cry over a fucking piece of paper and not cry over the saddest video game death in history.

If I ever complete the game with Buell, I probably will cry because he's my favorite horse in the game and I feel like I'd let Hamish (my favorite character) down if I killed basically his best friend.

"You sir, are a fish."

I took it as that while life can be unfair and cruel, you can bring goodness into it by doing good things.

So I've seen some comments on some YouTubers who played RDR2 and some of these comments are based on one such YouTuber (I won't mention his name), he decided to return for money, but not for that, but he wanted to get back at both Dutch and Micah for their actions and Micah being a rat. However, the comments didn't see that way and they said "gO aNd RePlAy ThE mIsSiOn AnD cHoOsE gO wItH jOhN" while others were "wHy DiD yOu Do ThAt yOu GrEeDy MaN." My issue with this is that this is another player's playthrough. He makes the decisions in this game, if you don't like that, then watch someone else doing what you want to see. Don't get butthurt and offended if any player chose this option and not the option you want them to choose. I just don't like when people act like that. Unrelated to this wiki but another few commented on another YouTuber in a Telltale Batman series where he choose to distrust Joh Doe (AKA the Joker) and so making him a villian. They were like "rEpLaY tHe EpIsOdE aNd TrUsT hIm." People like that makes me sometimes sick because they don't like people who don't do what THEY want to see. If you seriously don't like that, then don't watch this person and watch someone else doing that choice differently.

At the beginning of the "Red Dead Redemption" mission of RDR2, Tilly says that Abigail has been captured by Agent Milton (a.k.a. Agent Moron) and is about to be "tried for murder". But I've been wondering... what kind of murder? Was it the murder of Leviticus Cornwall or of Col. Henry Favours? Whoever it was, I doubt that Abigail had anything to with the murder, and I'm quite positive she didn't kill both of them (it was Dutch who killed Cornwall, while Arthur was the one who killed Favours). I suppose that Agent Moron has perpetrated a trumped-up charge against her in order to lure the Van der Linde gang to him using Abigail as bait, and only Arthur and Sadie take the risk to save her.

Well, how about you? Do you think that Agent Moron's charge against Abigail is preposterous?

What if, Dutch decided to shoot Micah following his bloody fight with a dying Arthur when Micah tried to persuade Dutch that Arthur has turned crazy and against him. What would have happened then?
