The gang had a savings of around $45,000. That's the equivalent of having $1.2 million today. Idk if Rockstar did this on purpose to show that no matter what Dutch would truly never be satisfied with the amount they had, or if they just didn't account for inflation fully. The money system is kinda weird in this game, but I'm thinking that it's a mix of both.

Dutch had a very immature and idealistic goal of being a Robin Hood without the "give to the poor" part. Micah just fed his instincts, just like Satan in his snake form with Adam and Eve, he wasn't really trying to turn Adam and Eve evil, he was toying with their curiosity. Micah just had a shit ton of money in it if he succeeded though, with the Pinkerton deal, the Blackwater money, and all the other heists.

[@chikyuu9186]

Yes Hosea’s death was Dutch’s breaking point Micah had Dutch confused that’s why he killed Micah when John confronted them he never knew Micah was responsible for Arthur’s death John kind of help Dutch snap back into reality for a second just like how John couldn’t say anything once Dutch passed him Dutch had that seem feeling but his was guilt instead of shock thus he went completely insane not knowing who to trust and having so many people trying to kill him

[@deadrat7019]

Personally, I always thought the gang was suffering from arsenic poisoning in chapter 6. They are right next to butcher creek, and the mine leaking the poison into river source which they are using. I know that that it is likely not the case, but I always thought it was a funny coincidence that the whole gang started acting really erratic at the same time they moved into Beaver Hallow. Elysian pool is downstream from beaver hollow. Sorry, I jumped the gun. Thank you all for clearing up any misconceptions.

[@40088922]

they started to act this way in Beaver Hollow because morale was low, they were at their wit's end, members were either leaving or dying and the law was closing in on them. while it would be kinda cool if they turned out to be poisoned then, the game gives plenty of reasons to understand their position by this point in the story

[@Ahnenerbe1944]

Key factors: 1. There was a rat in his gang that led to him losing $150000 in a robbery. 2. The pinkertons are following him so he doesn't know if he will die in his sleep. 3. Everyone is blaming him and irritating him while he needs time to think alone. 4. People need to understand that he is human and makes mistakes. 5. Many people who have had know fro years died within a few weeks (Jenny, Davey, Mac and Sean (Dutch thought he was dead), Micah was to be hung) 6. He was getting to the age of a mid life crisis. We know that he would have been at least 40 7. Molly was getting very irritated and annoying Dutch as he was talking to other women (as well as men but the women are the main part) around camp to keep the morale up. 8. His head injury 9. His best friend for more that 20 years got killed, potentially because he drew attention to himself by kidnapping a major person in the largest city of the 5 starts in the game. 10. He loses an estimated $60000 (1.8 million today), making all his master plans fail so 20 peoples fates could be sealed. 11. He starts to be crazy and suspects that Arthur -whom he had know for 20 years- was betraying him. He would feel like he could trust no one. 12. The woman he loves is killed. 13. His whole gang falls apart, something he had built up for years. 14. He is told the only person that he still trusts was a rat and he feels betrayed.

Kid named what a sick joke

[@theWardennn]

Remember, the first thing you upgrade in the base about Dutch is, "getting him something comfy". He is selfish man. Somehow, as the gang grew larger, he felt like a messiah promising the gang a land. He hated being doubted and questioned. He didn't listen to Arthur and Hosea in Blackwater, sided with Micah, a man who is a jester to a king. Always siding with his "bad decisions" never doubting him. This forced him to get drifted away from the gang and into the arms of Micah. Besides, all the times we are away from the camp as Arthur, Dutch spends his time with Micah. All, that, time. Think of all the ways Micah weaseled into Dutch's head. I mean of 3 times we ride with Micah, he has the courtesy to talk about John's wife Abigail. It is then he actually learns about how John went away for a year. The moment you give him the details, he concludes the conversation. From that point on, Dutch starts to get suspected of John. Hell, even I did (although I played RDR1). That 1 year gap of John and instantly coming back for no reason even to Arthur, the first job he does after coming back being the boat job in Blackwater... John was a perfect fall guy. Arthur being righteous and actually liking John got him to catch fire of suspicion too... Dutch, a man that acted wise but was never that wise unconsciously needed an explanation to all the plans he'd been making go south. He didn't suspect Micah, he was his jester.

[@imgayasfand5615]

Yeah it’s all sad what happened in the end 😔

[@Michael-bn1oi]

Jesters actually existed to be the only person that could question and mock the king without fear of reprisal, because that were just a fool. Not someone to be taken seriously. Uncle is the Jester, Micah is a sycophant.

[@michaelwhitehead4276]

You are appreciated sir

[@Wastelander1972]

Interestingly enough, I think it was John’s leaving for a year that got Arthur more on his side in the end. Arthur resented him for it at first, but as Dutch started slipping further and further away, I think Arthur grew to respect and understand his doing that.

[@Duke-Nukem0069]

I feel they did drugs in secret together too. Why he was so glued to Micah wouldn’t give up his connect. People in real life act just like Dutch too many people. Only way it makes sense to me and keeping the addict preacher around that wasn’t robbing or working around camp. Uncle actually did help from time to time in his own way, the preacher was really the only useless gang member. At the end of RD1 Dutch looks fried like the preacher. It caught up to him

[@Scriff779]

It's mostly because Micah fed Dutch's ego by telling him everything he wanted to hear, as well as supporting even the worst ideas. In the meantime, Arthur is trying to help Dutch see that his plans weren't proper, leading to Dutch's mental state allowing him to be manipulated and used.

[@pspspspsps44]

He wanted arthur and everyone else to blindly follow him, When Arthur knew he was dying he could for the first time see dutch clearly, and not blindly follow him which led Dutch to suspect arthur and john not to mention also because Arthur told him he met with agent Milton earlier in the game.

Just a note here: As someone who has had a concussion I can say that the symptoms of irritability and personality shifts are very temporary. Most of the go away after the first couple days. I think the brain injury is supposed to be a red herring, while the absence of Hosea and the manipulation of Micah are the true culprits.

[@shroomshroom5945]

Brain injuries can absolutely cause permanent personality shifts. It has been documented. Idk if it did for Dutch, but it definitely happens

[@docferringer]

Shroom is right, everyone's concussion symptoms and how those symptoms resolve (if they ever do) varies between patient to patient. I knew a woman who had 5 concussions in her life. Her symptoms were not only different each time, but also lasted longer after each concussion. Hers evolved from headaches and dizziness after the first one to 6 months of medical leave for dizziness, nausea, extreme light sensitivity, poor judgement...you get the idea. I think that was the lightest of her concussions. It shows you just how fast the repeated brain injuries can pile onto one another even after years of supposedly being healed. If you want some more examples, check out the NFL. Their players show up in the news for things the NFL likes to brush off as traumatic brain injuries, like beating up your girlfriend on camera or running a dog fighting ring. I sort of went off topic there. lol It's just something to keep in mind in case you encounter concussed people in your friends and family. A concussion is a wide-reaching illness.

[@justsomeguy2743]

I’ve had two concussions and what you’ve said is right, however he is clearly suffering from something else plus concussions have different severity’s so I’ve had two minor concussions (still not good) whereas Dutch could be suffering a severe one

[@Nylak-Otter]

I've had severe traumatic brain injuries, and it did change my personality. I got much meaner internally and my frustration threshold drastically lowered. I am also well-armed and absolutely shouldn't be. However, it's done nothing to change my behavior, and I'm actually much more friendly and kinder now because I don't overthink about much anymore. If it's a human or an animal, I am kind to it, no exceptions. It actually helped me take the final step from vegetarianism to veganism that I couldn't before the brain damage became severe, because I'd always justify slipping. Sometimes now I just need to leave the room if one of my dogs in rehabilitation training won't stop attacking me before I snap and hurt it back, or if someone won't stop screaming at me. You can control it, you just need to be aware of it, which is very hard in pressing situations. I could see Dutch having brain damage, but I also think he's a horrible and loathsome creature.

The game has had almost 50 million downloads in the past 6 months, which is absolutely mental. Raid is an epic dark fantasy hero turn based RPG with over 400 champions for you to collect and personally customize. In Raid you can gather orcs, the undead, knights, elves and more. Assemble a team through 16 heroic factions and explore 1 million+ champion builds. You can also discover 13 spectacular locations for the fully voiced story campaign and you can also Raid with friends in a clan and claim glory in the PVP Arena. The best part about Raid is that it’s free to play. The game also offers some extra cool features such as multi-battle, all-turn mode where you can set battles to run into an all-turn mode while you go and do something else, spending less time on the grind and more time developing your teams doing the fun stuff. There are also weekly tournaments and events in which you can fight in the arena, run special dungeons and just level up your heroes. there’s always a way to compete and win extra prizes every week.

This! Symptoms of TBI sounds VERY compelling to how much Dutch snaps after the Trolley Incident. There was already a lot leading towards his change before this incident, but this event really showed loss of some of the traits that had previously held Dutch in some level of sanity.

[@SHRIKEACOLUIS]

In my personal opinion, even though Dutch did get hit hard in the head, I do t think the injury really contributed much. I believe that even before Blackwater and even growing up he was always a bit off with a couple marbles rolling around, but maintained it. In a chapter 3 mission when Arthur, Dutch and Hosea go fishing, Dutch mentions his childhood and how he was a bit of a disruptive child. Dutch has a good side, but I believe what he became was everything that was bottled up inside of him from his past and the events of the story. Blackwater goes wrong, He got screwed over by Bronte trying to make “fool” out of him, He loses his best friend, they lose all the money from the Saint Denis bank in the Atlantic, get stranded in Guarma in a crazy revolution, and Micah in his ear making him more parniod. PTSD can cause such paranoia and how nothing was going good for the gang drove him mad thinking they could still survive.

I think evidence of Dutch's true self come out in the opening minutes of the game. When you first get to Colter and Dutch gives his speech to try and boost morale of the gang, you can hear his voice kinda cracking and he almost sounds like he might break a bit as he is pleading for everyone to have faith in him and stay with him. I think Dutch was perilously close to breaking then and there because he feared the gang would mutiny against him for failing them as their leader. If not for Micah having found the Adler homestead, they might have been screwed. As there, they found a bit of food and supplies, as well as learned of Colm O'Driscoll's plans and gang location. This might also lend more credence to why Dutch seems to put so much trust in Micah throughout the story. I think Dutch feels like Micah saved his life on the mountain. Micah certainly help Dutch re-solidify his leadership of the gang and helped restore their faith in him if any were wavering in Colter.

[@Theasaurus2]
