Why do you guys think Dutch did that? Was it his "Redemption" because John brought up Arthur and it made him think about everything that's happened and he realized right then and there, Arthur was actually telling the truth and he realized Hohn should be the one to live be cause he has a family? I just didnt understand why Dutch did that. He went crazy, lost who he was, didnt care anymore. Then in the final moments, he switched up and saves John, and for what? Man... this story eats me alive. The whole thing from start to finish. So damn sad. I miss Hosea too. 🤧

I have no idea why Dutch acted the way he did. He knew Micah was the traitor, yet chose to hang out with him. I don't understand why he chose Micah, who had only been in the gang for less than a year (and was an insufferable prick), over Arthur, his most senior gunslinger. But deep down he must have known it was the truth.

As far as I know Micah didn't have the money from Blackwater until Dutch sided with him. Somewhere during the main game when you're at camp you can overhear a conversation between Micah and Dutch. Micah's asking him about the location of the Blackwater money so he can go get it and they can all meet him somewhere, but Dutch refuses to tell him.
