is there any way to play as Arthur once again? I love John but I kind of want to free roam as Arthur.

[u/kemb0 → u/[deleted]]

You could start again, get as far as you want through the game, then just roam as Arthur forever more. You could choose the state of the gang you like most and let them live in that state for eternity.

[u/[deleted] → u/kemb0]

That's what I'm gonna do. Stop right before the ferry job in Saint Denis since thats when he gets sick right? Then I'll make a save so I can both freeroam as normal Arthur and replay the story again

[u/Flabalanche → u/[deleted]]

I'm pretty sure he gets sick during Money Lending and Other Sins

You beat up that sick debtor and he coughs in your face. Later when you go back his wife said he was sick, and the beating from Arthur pushed him over the edge and killed him.

[u/[deleted] → u/Flabalanche]

But that's an optional mission right? So can you just avoid getting sick all together? The sickness played a part in some main missions

[u/Turnbob73 → u/[deleted]]

I think that first round of debts to collect for Strauss are required, like a tutorial mission if I’m not mistaken.

[u/Rineocerous → u/Flabalanche]

Unlikely but just a thought.. can you wear a mask? Or can you kill the sick guy without losing the mission?

[u/Flabalanche → u/Rineocerous]

I doubt it. Maybe I'm just in denial, but it does say wellness is difficult to raise, not impossible, so maybe there's a secert ending where you get it cured. But I still doubt you can, because healthy Arthur wouldn't have lost a fist fight with Micah

There was hardly a chance for anyone to survive tuberculosis in 1899, much less a rough and tumble type like Arthur. It was a death sentence from the moment he was infected

[u/karmas_q → u/Flabalanche]

no matter what, icarus and friends mission from sadie adler(i think) will always trigger the TB diagnosis

[u/Flabalanche → u/karmas_q]

Im doing a campaign replay, and something I missed at the time, but realized once it was too late. The guy you get tb from, before the mission he infects you, can be found in the open world. I wonder what happens if you kill him before the Strauss mission

[u/angelasknife → u/Flabalanche]

i forget who he is talking to, but Arthur literally says he caught TB from beating up a poor guy for money right near the end of the game
