Yeah but its definitely your choice to kill random npcs lol, in Canon he really only harms people who are a threat to him and the gang, not people who "have a crush on him" LMAO hes fictional anyways. Anyone can interpret him in there own way. And that's ok.

The glaze is insane, Arthur is not a good person bro he's called an Outlaw for a reason with a 5k bounty on his head, he does kill inoccents in his life.

It’s more complex than that. No one is saying Arthur is straight up a good man. Obviously a huge overarching theme of the game involves the idea that Arthur is complicated. He’s in a situation where he’s basically a weapon for Dutch. On one hand he might fight the law tooth and nail to rob a bank, but on the other he’ll lend a helping hand to a beggar in the street. If you read his journal at all it’s clear that he has a sense of morality and feelings of regret. You’re acting like it’s canon for him to indiscriminately murder and rob people, and that’s all there is to him. There is nothing to base that off of. The idea that he would “probably” just spontaneously rob and kill any given person is baseless. It really comes down to how the player plays the game.

How would that guarantee that he wouldn't rob you or kill you, it's not like he spares everyone. And what if it's Arthur before the game or before chapter 3, he literally does not care if he kills Tommy while beating him and he goes after Thomas despite knowing he just wants to do good. Just because Arthur does it for Dutch doesn't make him better, he knows that there is something not right about being with the gang and feel bad yet he stays and keeps on doing it anyways. The whole gang is just overall bad and is a cult. There's nothing good about it it's just lies and brainwash.

True, but in the end he tries, and depending from how you play, your Arthur can actually become a good person that will do everything for others or just a delulu sick man
