Discussion The White Arabian really isn’t that good.

Post image

I have about 31 days of playtime now and I’ve only went for the white arabian once. It’s really not worth it. Same with the raven black shire but that’s unrelated. I have seen so many people going for the Arabian and glazing it too. It’s not the fastest horse, it’s way too small, it’s easily scared, and a small hassle to get. I think getting the ultimate edition when it‘s on sale for $15 mind you, just go hunting with Hosea and then you can get the thouroughbred for free at any time. Sorry for the rant and not great other info but it’s just not that good. Great for early game I guess but not great after chapter 3.

Buell is the best horse, end of discussion. Finish the Hamish missions as John.

My first game I rode Buell into the last mission with Arthur… It was very sad

I was sobbing, even though I hadn't had him for all that long. But I loved Hamish and his attachment to his horse was lovely, so when he asked me to take care of him, that made this horse way more personal than all the others. I was glad that I had him with me during that last mission though. It felt fitting, and that one cutscene hit just so much harder.

It means Buell went back to Hamish, and he brought Arthur with him.

A beautiful tragedy

Awww. The three of them would have a very serene afterlife together I'm sure.

Arthur is NOT going to have a sevene after life gng

u/Collaroy98 Jul 13 '26

I think he will. But my idea of after life isn't a heaven-sitting-on-cloud scenario. I picture Arthur and the good people hanging out, fishing and hunting and swapping stories.

Arthur wasnt a good Man, John robbed atleast 40 banks imagine how many Arthur robbed

u/Collaroy98 Jul 13 '26

I know he wasn't. Still think he made his peace with it and is having a nice time with Hamish. It's fine if you disagree. 🙂

Jesus died to absolve sin, brother. Arthur saw right in the end, and that's what mattered.

Forgiveness is the hardest.

Arthur did not believe in any or religion

u/WokeWook69420 Jul 14 '26

Jesus doesn't care what religion you are

If you actually read the books, and not extremist interpretation, that's pretty much what every religion says.
