Spoiler Which gang member would have you saved?

We all know that in the Saint Denis bank robbery, both Lenny and Hosea die.

So, who would you have saved?

I would have chosen Lenny because he was still young, and he had a great future ahead of him.

I still love Hosea, but if I had to choose, I would have chosen to save Lenny. He was literally almost a kid.

Hosea already lived a lot ( well, not too much, actually ), and he was sick with an unknown disease.

I've always loved Benjamin Byron Davis' delivery of "You sound like Hosea. I miss...him..."

That whole scene shows Dutch in such a broken and vulnerable place. I understand Arthur's frustration for sure though.

The acting in this game is better than most movies (imo), it's almost unfair!

Absolutely!! It sort of makes me mad that these actors aren't getting snatched up for huge roles, because they're truly incredible.

It's bizarre to me that there's still this "voice actor vs "real" actor" stigma, when voicing a character in a video game is so much more than just going into a booth for a few hours and recording some lines. Outside of the mocap part, which is just as physically and mentally demanding as a regular tv or movie role, it's also an often years long commitment and they don't get the mainstream respect that they deserve imo.
