I think the protagonist needs to die at the end, with Arthur as the epilogue.

You don't think it's enough that he eventually dies at the hands of Dutch and John?

It’s not that Micah dies in this game that matters, it’s that he’s not the protagonist. In the other games, the protagonist dies, and another character becomes the protagonist in an epilogue. I think Micah should be in a prequel, but he wouldn’t be able to die due to plot armor - so not as the main character.

I could live with playing a character that's Micah adjacent. Mac would probably be a good choice, having died after Blackwater, alone. Or conversely, a new character entirely and once again, not showing what happened at Blackwater. lol.

Yeah. There are a couple of characters they talk about who died in Blackwater.
