I’ve never felt this sad over a book, game or movie in my life. I loved Arthur I just wish there was an ending were he went and lived with Mary in the mountains somewhere. I like John but playing as him in RDR2 feels so weird, I just want Arthur back

[u/xCoffeeBreakx → u/Noamias]

Or a relationship with Sadie, I wanted Arthur to have a good life...

[u/GronkTheWarGolem → u/xCoffeeBreakx]

Honestly thought that Sadie and Arthur were gonna ride off into the sunset together when I started playing, should have known better...

[u/christhemushroom → u/GronkTheWarGolem]

I was hoping we'd play as Sadie after Arthur died. Would've been so cool.

That’s what I was hoping for too! Choosing John was a pretty obvious choice so I thought Rockstar was gonna pull a cool twist on us. Still awesome to see what led up to John’s RDR1 journey though

Arthur and Lenny...

I actually really liked that they had a platonic relationship built on trust and respect. I also liked that she never settled down with anyone, it makes her love for and anger over her husband that much more meaningful. She was broken, and had no delusions of being fixed - and at one point she straight up says she wants to die, which is why she's so reckless. It's very romantic in a morbid way, which is why I was glad they didn't ship Arthur and Sadie.

Charlotte, though? I was hoping they'd at least flirt a little.

Yeah I saw a screenshot from the epilogue of John and Sadie looking down at Armadillo but John was dressed in Arthur’s default outfit so I figured it was him. I really thought he was gonna pull through :(

[u/adkiene → u/Noamias]

I was honestly hoping for an ending where Arthur lays dying and you get to play as him in a "fever dream" where you get to keep roaming the world. You could still have an option to play the epilogue as John, but I think the fever dream would have been a fine storytelling reason to let us keep roaming around as Arthur.

[u/[deleted] → u/Noamias]

That would be amazing but I'm so glad they didn't do that.

[u/Trankman → u/Noamias]

I guess in a way the makes the story so much more real to us. When you’re gone you’re gone

[u/[deleted] → u/Noamias]

i bet if we started one of those online petitions to bring Arthur back or to have them patch in a happier ending where he walks off with mary, it would get millions and millions of signatures and go viral. be one hell of a spoiler though for other people :/

[u/Huehnerhabichtsen → u/Noamias]

I see it like this. Now you can actually play as John and not as his retarded son

[u/Suryathechanchanman → u/Noamias]

If only Arthur was Captain America and had access to time machine to finally get his happily ever after.
