One detail that is hard to miss in the game is when at the end, when Dutch and the rest of the gang are pointing their guns at Arthur and John, Javier is the only one who points the gun up in the air. Kind of showing a little resistance of turning on his fellow gang brothers.

[@elvisd3947]

@@gothxm It really doesn't make it worse. It makes it so much better. Javier personified blind loyalty throughout the entire story. No matter how bad, how crazy, how immoral, how petty and how irrational Dutch and his decisions became, Javier stood by him AND he tried to convince everyone around him to be just as loyal. For him to doubt his ambition and his loyalty in the end because it would force him to kill his two brothers is just amazing character development

I have never once in my life *mourned* the death of a fictional character. But when Arthur lied there, wheezing his last breath, staring at the rising sun, oh how I cried. Oh how I missed him as I played as John Marston. I had to stop for a while and think and sit on what I just played through. I wanted Arthur Morgan back so much. Every little piece of this game came together so absolutely perfectly, all serving their purpose to a fine T. I will never hate Rockstar, even with their gross mishandling of Red Dead Online, because I know what they can do now. I know what they are capable of. And I love them for it. Well done, guys. Seriously. I love you all.

[@yuqingweng7764]

I wrote RIP Arthur Morgan with a cross in my diary just like Arthur would when his friend dies. Felt like a ritual was necessary to say goodbye to Arthur. But still can’t let him go.

[@Nemesis5197]

This is somewhat a late reply but I kinda felt the need to say that although I didn't cry, I was sad but more than that I was very angry. After some point in the game, most players (including me) thought that Arthur was going to die but I just hoped maybe he would survive. But on top of all the important and minor characters that died before him, they (Rockstar Games) just had to kill him too. I was really angry at them and I swore at them for about 2 minutes.

[@Thegreatjoker13]

I never had a game make me cry till rdr2 when i played arthur as a bad guy n they killed my fav horse n then watch him die.. i was devastated....

[@amyhoard1222]

Agreed there is only 1 other game that legitimately made me cry at the end. I knew for sure Authur would die when he was coughing before the dr told him, even though it was a blind playthrough, i was convinced he had TB then the dr confermed it. So i was expecting him to die, but never expected it would make me cry as he weesed on the cliffs edge. Doubt I'll ever be able to finish the game again knowing how much it wripped my heart out to watch that cut scene.

For me, it was pretty heartwarming to know that Dutch cried over Arthur dying, coz it showed he still did care about him. To add to that, if you look very very carefully you can actually see Dutch on the verge of crying from 16:49 - 16:51. It's so subtle.

I don’t think he would’ve cried right then, maybe years later when he knew he made the wrong decision. I think at the time he was just so conflicted

[@palmermayette1499]

that and john crying for the first time ever when aurthur gives his hat to him tho

[@sendhelp7057]

I disagree. That would show the old Dutch and his regret wich would probably make a lot of people happy. It would kinda outbalance the sadness of the scene But, in the credits they could have shown Dutch at his grave, or show Dutch taking a look at Johns new ranch, or he watches how John rides back with the money, with Sadie and Charles. That would boost the satisfaction of the ending and doesn’t affect Arthur’s death scene

[@loopyprawn]

I don’t know if we could’ve handled anymore emotion at that point

[@sebjulien3]

People in those days never cried. I remember my father who died a couple of years ago at the age of 90. He told me he never saw his father or mother crying in all his life, and they had shitty lives. I only once saw my father cried in all my life and he really was at the end of his rope. I am half native American and all my ancestors on both sides weren't the kind of people to show their emotions. And boy it was not because we never saw people dying or not having problems...

The thought of a RDR3 game where there's another prequel, getting to see Arthur young again and getting to know what happened in the black water massacre, really gives me the will to live for the next 10 years for when they announce that its coming. And that says a lot about how this game affected me
