The MEANING behind the DEBT COLLECTIONS in Red Dead Redemption 2

[@samuelmcmahan8519]

Him and Micah both

[@dannt3mustntdie]

i feel bad, although he had it coming, his demeanor comes off as a spoiled child getting reality checked. in the end, after being picked up by pinkertons, he died in torture due to not snitching. rather than ratting out of spite, straus did not talk; i hope he took his last moments to reflect

[@Artbyhurricanyounot]

That bastard cougar STILL scares the shit out of me

[@thematteffer]

You’re starting to spoil me with your long videos! Great as always sir! I always rob Catfish Jackson’s twice before the debt collection. A little extra $$. And every once in a while I’ll loot Painted Sky & Downes’ ranch’ before and after the collections.

[@FilbeeGaming]

I'm just glad you're enjoying. Matt my dude, I'm sure we follow each other on Insta, right? DM me, what you wanna see next brother

[@thematteffer]

@@FilbeeGaming Always enjoy your videos - not gonna complain about these extra long ones either. You're very thorough and it's a good thing. Yes we do follow each other on there sir. I got tired of not being able to comment so I just logged in with my phone. I'll shoot you a DM about some ideas. Been currently playing 2 games simultaneously (one high one low honor), so I'm seeing some things I had forgotten about.

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

I never take the antique watch while on mission. I'll go there after the mission and I keep it for myself. It's a very pretty watch and you'll lose it if you grab it before ending the missions, always grab it after.

Strauss never truly seemed to care about Arthur really in my mind. Loving the longer form videos bruh!! Important for whilst playing the game and sleeping!! Keep up the great work man!

[@Chicken_Wing91]

He didn’t care about Arthur and in all honesty I don’t think Arthur would have done it but Dutch asks him to do it if he waits too long.

[@97vn44]

@@97vn44 yeah, if you keep delaying starting collecting the debts Strauss will rat you to Dutch and Dutch will come to you asking for accomplish the "money recovery". I never start the loan shark missions without Dutch chewing my ear first.

[@YetAnotherManWithNoName]

An employer (debt collector) doesn't care about their employee (hired muscle that's committed multiple crimes and murders)? Who cares?

[@CJGAMES4202]

Arthur has to be one of if not the best video game character of all time with a brilliant character arc to boot. Top video as always mate 👍

[@FilbeeGaming]

Thanks CJ, appreciate that brother

[@BlueSamGames]

Hi Phil. Nice video. The Pinkertons later arrested and questioned Strauss. He didn't betray the gang and told them nothing.

[@FilbeeGaming]

Hey man, good to hear from you. You're right about Strauss not telling, I'm think of a video solely about him

[@BlueSamGames]

@@FilbeeGaming He was abandoned on his first day in America and had to survive on his own. He's probably tougher than we think. He stood up to Micah and do you remember when he joined the scrap in 'The Sheep and the Goats'? He even took a bullet to the leg. lol.

[@settratheimperishable7800]

I like how Low Honor Arthur kicks Strauss out because he was “waisting his time” lmao In all seriousness it’s sad how low honor Arthur really does care deep down he’s just unable to show any kind of kindness anymore

[@Hannsom7]

this goes even deeper you see the mans wife and son who gave Arthur tb in Annesburg i wont spoil anything but man it gets deep

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

Yeah, what she becomes and her son (Downes family). If not for Arthur hand intervening... But also, he created the problem in the first place; and got very well rewarded... Cheers!

[@gorjlg]

I was doing the Chick mission and kinda left my horse in the road. He took off and shouted "so long loan sh". Didn't even get it out before he ran right into my horse. He almost got away I was laughing so hard.

easy solution to a tedious chase. i wonder if u can do it for the one chase after jamie

@@dannt3mustntdie would be something to try. I bet the game wouldn't like that since you gotta have the scene at the tracks.

@@gorjlg true, im guessing your horse either spawns right next to you or hes just unable to fall off his horse. would be odd if rockstar just let slip an entire mission segment, even if it werent needed for the story to be completed

[@kleggett669]

Great vid!! Strauss deserved it. I'm doing another playthrough and I'm trying to see how much of the game I can complete without advancing the storyline. I wanted my bolt action and legendary animal map so I did 2 missions. I screwed it up already, lol. I'm still in Chapter 2 though and have 40% of the game completed. I'd like to see a video showing me how to do that properly. Like, how do you get the rolling back in chapter 2 to finish the sharpshooter challenge? I'd also like to see updated videos on how to do the challenges.

[@YetAnotherManWithNoName]

Strauss, a man doing his legal job, is worse than a gang of murderers and robbers? You guys are wild

[@thomasrogers7781]

Do not understand why Arthur got TB from a brief interaction with Thomas Downes but the wife and son who lived with him did not.

[@FilbeeGaming]

I'd love to explain it, but I think it's just for the purpose of the narrative

[@ANNEKE1999]

Maybe Thomas never caughed in their faces. Maybe he kept some distance when he had bad days. But maybe it was just to have a redemption arc for Arthur.

[@Richard-iw1dd]

They probably did have TB but we’re asymptomatic. Arthur’s only became symptomatic after the trauma of guarma

[@rsltgc8706]

Nobody in the gang got it too. I understand that it is just for the story but it bugs me a lot. One can catch a flu by just being in the same room. A TB is worse and is extremely contagious and fatal + they are cowboys and is 19th or early 20th century. There is no point trying to think hard on this one.

Thank you

[@dwaynejpeterkin]

He enjoyed getting the money at first until he got fed up as the camp began falling apart

[@Brian-qh6zt]

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what Strauss was doing. If you have the ability to collect debt, then loaning money is a great business. And if you borrowed the money then you need to pay back what’s owed and if you don’t it’s called robbery and needs to be dealt with.

[@Yes-Man1337]

Plus, as a man in 1899 I’d definitely rather get jumped by a loan shark & have at worst a few bones broke as opposed to letting the bank make my family homeless lol.

[@YetAnotherManWithNoName]

Exactly. This entire video seems misguided.

[@costelcodreanu4629]

Hi Fil good video always 👍🥃⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@FilbeeGaming]

Thank you!

[@Broly_Rinehardt]

If you read Arthur's journal however, you'll find out he's disgusted by the requirements of his job as a loan collector

[@YetAnotherManWithNoName]

I don't know. I think Arthur is justified for everything in this series of missions. If you don't want this to happen to you, don't borrow money from sketchy people. If you do and they assault you or rob you when you don’t have the money, that's on you. You knew the rules. Speaking from experience.

[@nathangregory_]

I love it when Arthur states, "The church has been taking more than they need off the poor folks since time began." Now, that is what we can refer to as truism.

[@Yes-Man1337]

That mission dialogue always has me dying “Ummmm, as I said sir, the matter is a little more complex than that”😂😂😂

[@Aganie.]

Isn't there another ending where Strauss leaves on his own? If u refuse to collect the debts or some?

[@Angel-Otk]

6:15 bro i would love if you could flick him off too🤣😭💀

[@michaelsmyth3935]

Wow, really? Arthur throwing Strauss to the Pinkerton Trash was as bad as anything he did FOR Strauss.

[@geminicricket4975]

Personally, my opinion is that poor Strauss gets a bad rep. He sets up rules that people agree to and only sends muscle when the time is due. Arthur and co, on the other hand, kill people for money. No rules, just there's the money and those poor bastards are in his way. Hell, if he even followed his advice to Strauss, "go and get a job!", he might have had a much longer life and maybe even been able to hold on to Mary. :) But, the game needs a scapegoat to make Arthur look better, so... Strauss gets a bad rep. ;)

[@channel45853]

The game seems pretty self aware at how hypocritical Arthur is being though

[@geminicricket4975]

Fair. But I was thinking more of the people who come down hard on Strauss than I was the game. :)

[@HarrisonWhite-wi4ns]

That’s certainly how Strauss sees it. I think the missions are meant to show how that viewpoint is flawed, and how much suffering Strauss causes by taking advantage of desperate people.

[@iamsuzerain3987]

It's one thing to loan people money at reasonable interest rates, quite another to do it like Strauss does...he's a thief and a degenerate human being

[@heyyoadrian]

Somehow robbing a bank seems more honorable than taking from someone who has nothing
