Arthur X John

(information: this is a talkie i made if Arthur never got tuberculosis and micah dead this what it looked like) In the game as it exists, Arthur's diagnosis of tuberculosis in Chapter 5 is a pivotal moment that profoundly impacts his character arc and the overarching narrative. It serves as a catalyst for his reflections on his life, his growing disillusionment with Dutch, and his eventual pursuit of redemption. His declining health is a constant presence in the latter half of the game, affecting his physical capabilities and contributing to the game's tragic tone. If Arthur never got tuberculosis, the story would likely unfold very differently: * Arthur's Character Arc: Without the looming presence of death, Arthur's sense of urgency to do good and protect John and the others might not be as strong. His internal struggles and his eventual acceptance of his own mortality are deeply intertwined with his illness. He might remain more cynical and hardened. * The Gang's Dynamics: The tension and eventual fracturing of the Van der Linde gang are partly fueled by the stress and desperation brought on by their circumstances, including Arthur's declining health. Without this element, the gang's trajectory might change, though other factors like Dutch's descent into paranoia would likely still play a significant role. * The Ending: Arthur's death is a cornerstone of Red Dead Redemption 2's narrative, directly leading into the events of the first Red Dead Redemption, which focuses on John Marston. If Arthur survived, the epilogue and the connection to the first game would be drastically altered. Perhaps Arthur and John would face their futures together, or Arthur's path might diverge entirely. * Gameplay: Arthur's weakening state in the later chapters is reflected in his in-game abilities.
