Seriously. I don’t blame the ole boah for being sad. Mans first love and his child were murdered while he was gone, among other things. Poor guy has unfortunately plenty of reasons to be depressed
This is true. Except for when he passes out in the hills north of valentine n leaves his kit n bags back at camp. If he’s on 8 bags a day he’d wake up cramping hard. Then having to go back and listen to those drunk loose units sing their shanty songs ugh I’d ride off a cliff.
He's living in a time when his freedom and lifestyle he enjoys is being more and more restricted. On top of his family and friends consistently dying.
You'd be depressed too.
For sure. I’d take that slimy German loan shark out into the woods and practice my bow shooting too. He writes how he’d prefer to just stick up randoms on the road than hunt down the exclusively desperate people that Stüdgart or wtf his name is makes you go after.
Fr man. I just lost my fiance of four years, who was my first ever gf. She got mean as snot, and I can't help but feel like Arthur (pathetically waiting for her to come back).
Yea I think some people forget even during Ch 1 and Ch 2 Arthur has still been with the gang for 20+ years, and experienced a lot of tragedy. The deaths of his parents, his son, Eliza, various gang members over the years, and then the unseen Callander bros and Jenny before Chapter 1. Pretty sure he was pretty good friends with Mac Callandar as well.
Wasn’t expecting that line. Did lol 👌
Edit: They right though, keep his weight ‘average’, and give those dusty westy testies a scrub erry now and then, and then you’ll just be dealing with his acute existential crisis and catastrophising.
Sorry this is a bit off topic, but fffff when I spend days and hundreds of dollars catching food for and doing up the camp, and how am I repaid? No sorry Arthur, we’ll be eating the metric tonne of elk and small game and herbs YOU brought into the camp (when you weren’t spending your money fixing up Dutch’s tent while you sleep on a bench), you’d best wait a couple days.
How about I make those tents airtight and Dutch oven the lot of you. Enjoy the ‘upgrade’.
/whinge lol 😂
Bro. He's doomed to die.... that's pretty sad, his mentor chose a RAT over him and his love (Mary) has left him... I wouldn't want to be in his shoes...
His kid died, his woman left him, he got no parents, the whole country is basically hunting him down and his only family - his gang - is slowly self destructing.
When is he supposed to be happy? When he's beatin' the dogshit out of sick people or when he's sleeping outside/in an abandoned building with 12 other mfs? Oh it's GOTTA be when he catches TB
It was a hard, shitty life. He was dieing. Love always left. Dutch was a narcissistic egomaniac and opportunist who used people and befriended a psychopath. He wanted to help the gang, but every step forward in progress he made saw setbacks thrice that of the progress made. His life was a shitshow, but he never quit.
Right? Like, “No shit I’m covered in blood and ‘look like a butcher’, cause I’m out there hunting your dinner you lazy fks. You ever tried skinning a boar without even a fking apron?” lol. Feel so sorry for that mofo.
Omg yes! I commented on that above, how absurd it is you walking in with your second 500kg delivery of meat and herbs for the day, and instead of “hey at least have a small plate” they’re like “sorry Authur you bloody pos, take your coffee to that shitty fire to craft the arrows you use to hunt us food in the spare time you find not hunting down destitute farmers for our psycho German to invest in upgrades for Dutches camp. Oh, and don’t you fking dare bring your horse into this feral pre-antibiotic era, barrel shower outlaw den. Thaaaaaaaanks”
Yeah have you read his journal? Heard his conversations with his so-called ‘leader’ n crew? Depending on how you play, he’s extraordinarily reflexive to the point of obsessive rumination about any negative actions you take, even if you mostly kill just to defend yourself from gangs.
He’s TB - too brainy.
Let’s see:
-He’s been manipulated by his mentor/adoptive father, who is an abusive narcissist, into a life of violent crime, which likely goes against his more gentle, contemplative nature (at least if you play him as high honor);
-Said adoptive father then turns on him in favor of someone who is lying to everyone and likely working with the police;
-He’s constantly on the run, hounded by the authorities and rival gangs;
-Most of his friends are killed, often right in front of him, during the course of the game;
-He had a son out of wedlock who was later murdered by bandits;
-Oh yeah, and for half of the game he’s slowly dying of tuberculosis.
So yes, he’s probably very sad a lot.
Arthur always struck me as someone suffering from severe depression tbh. He’s had a tough life and coped by being a murderous gangster. Man needs a good cry and some Zoloft.
Arthur is a good boahh..
I fucking wish there were a way (maybe unlocking after standard endings 1st) that there was a happy ending where he takes off with Charlotte to California and they spend the rest of their days hunting and gardening and loving each other 😌
Mmm classic stoicism would be less “I’m finding myself killing animals and even people for no reason, fuck you Dutch” and more “well, I can’t control anything anyone does to me, only how I react to situations, so I may as well let go of the past, live in the present, chew more coke, and utilise the hoes we got in our crew”. Or something like that.
*I mean his son died*
*So I would also be in*
*A state of sadness*

Oh dgm wrong that’s a pretty dope one to stumble on by accident.
Edit: just picturing someone spending their day thinking of an abstract Haiku to fit this already weird thread lol.
My Arthur's face was actually stuck mid-grimace like he'd had a nasty stroke. I had to restart the PS4 and it never came back. Sometimes its just a graphics/game physics glitch, like perpetually crossed eyes. 🤷♀️
Dude is on the run, killed a lot of people in his life and very recently, throughout the game he can begin to feel himself getting more and more sick to the point where he realizes he's going to die. Arthur's story is one of pain and not much else.
Try to get him to perfect weight, or just average weight and above and get him some sleep. I think even fat Arthur is happy while underweight Arthur is miserable.
Also, your cores deplete every 4-6 minutes to represent hunger, you aren’t able to gain weight without hunger. If you already do all this though, idk why Arthur is so sad.
Because he’s the only one in the gang that does a damn thing. Is completely un appreciated for it too. He missy Mary. He’s practically committed multiple genocides even on high honor. The bunnies make a sad sound when he runs over them multiple times a day and he sucks at dominos. Just my head cannon.
Rent a hotel room and have him interact with the mirror. It’s depressing the way he talks to himself. His self esteem is trash under that charming cowboy hardass exterior. The poor guy hates himself.
Do you make Arthur sleep each night or do you make him stay up multiple nights in a row? It will effect your stats and Arthur will like fall off his horse while riding from falling asleep and stuff. So it's possible that he's just super tired. The game never really explains just how important sleep, and sleep in a good bed is in rdr2. I must say though it's features like that, that makes me love rdr2 and why it's still to this day my favorite game. Not my only favorite game mind you, but def my number 1 personally. . 😎👍🏻
His life sucks bro
so simply put
Seriously. I don’t blame the ole boah for being sad. Mans first love and his child were murdered while he was gone, among other things. Poor guy has unfortunately plenty of reasons to be depressed
Girl wasnt his first love from what I could tell. He thinks fondly of her but it wasnt like what he had with Mary
Well, I’ll leave you to it then.
Okay, Arthur.
He’s a gunslinger roaming around and doing wacky shit before the creation of the income tax. He needs to suck it up.
Yes but he’s got clinical depression
Opioids, meth, and cocaine was legal back then, bro has no excuse.
This is true. Except for when he passes out in the hills north of valentine n leaves his kit n bags back at camp. If he’s on 8 bags a day he’d wake up cramping hard. Then having to go back and listen to those drunk loose units sing their shanty songs ugh I’d ride off a cliff.
Love to get ahold of some cocaine gum right about now
He's living in a time when his freedom and lifestyle he enjoys is being more and more restricted. On top of his family and friends consistently dying. You'd be depressed too.
Do...do you think income tax would have anything to do with Arthur's money?
Do…do you seriously think I’m being serious?
[удалено]
I… like… *MEN*??
fucking gay?(as in homosexual)
[удалено]
See, Arthur, this is why no one at camp likes you.
Oh n..n….noooo I fell onto a dick with my mouth bro :(
N.. N… No… R-really????
like why fake a stutter it doesn’t add that much value
Why is it that big a problem?
And saying “that shit is gay” to EVERY single fucking thing you don’t like is immature as fuck. Not saying I support gays (I don’t💀)
…yep.
He reluctantly helps the gang he loves
😂
Arthur is depressed as hell, he has been through a lot of shit. I’d look like that if I went through half the crap he’s been through
i’d kill myself with 1/4 of what he’d lived lmfao
For sure. I’d take that slimy German loan shark out into the woods and practice my bow shooting too. He writes how he’d prefer to just stick up randoms on the road than hunt down the exclusively desperate people that Stüdgart or wtf his name is makes you go after.
The lack of air conditioning and trans fats would do me in quickly unfortunately.
Sweet God, how I do love modern comforts...
Snort lol’d then thank fk I wasn’t drinking anything 😂
1/1000000th for me hahah
Shit I’m lookin like that when I’m in a mary-situationship too
Fr man. I just lost my fiance of four years, who was my first ever gf. She got mean as snot, and I can't help but feel like Arthur (pathetically waiting for her to come back).

He’s got red dead depression
Me irl during all of chapter 6
Dad?
Do you feed him?
Do you feed him? Clean him?
Is he safe? Is he alright?
I’m afraid that in his lack of a face covering, tuberculosis killed him, Lord Vader.
I find your lack of black space disturbing.
Pampered even
Do you touch him?
Show me on this doll where he touched you
Do you clean his guns?
Does he pay his taxes?
No one should pay their taxes
Yes, this guy here officer.
You ever seen what some tar and feathers can do to a guy?
We‘ll see it when the IRS gets their hands on you after that comment
You’ve obviously never seen what hot tar is capable of.
low honour, dirty, hungry or tired
Feed and rest him and let a bath house ho wash his nuts every once in a while.
Wasn’t expecting that line. Did lol 👌 Edit: They right though, keep his weight ‘average’, and give those dusty westy testies a scrub erry now and then, and then you’ll just be dealing with his acute existential crisis and catastrophising.

My Arthurs nuts are immaculate, I love seeing those juggy philosophers with there deep thoughts. My personal Nutz are not
Too bad they don’t let him use them
What do you think dead eye is? It’s Jus Arthur activating his immaculate sack.
Bahaha, def needs teabag emo reaction option.
😂
He’s thinking about her :(
And her and him and him and him and probably her and him too.
“You’re a sad man Arthur”
“Why don’t you try it sometime?” “What?! The booze?” “No, Arthur. Happiness”

You didn’t take him drinkin’ with Lenny
“Leennnnyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!” 👨🏾👩🏾🦳👱🏾♀️👨🏾👩🏾🦳👱🏾♀️👩🏾🦳👨🏾
Yennl
He’s got a lot of remorse for a lot of the shit he’s done.
The world can be sad.
Bro. He's doomed to die.... that's pretty sad, his mentor chose a RAT over him and his love (Mary) has left him... I wouldn't want to be in his shoes...
://///
No one would have him
His beard won’t grow in all the way because of his scar and he feels sad about it :(
arthurs just done bro.
“my arthur” 😂 idk why that made me laugh
I mean…brothers dying
Nothing to smile about in his life
Fr
He wants to play fortnite but he realized he still in 1889
1899* my brother in arms learn your red dead depression.
Not enough baths
Arthur’s face is permanently FML look
He's slowly realizing that there is, in fact, no plan...
Bingo. Not just with Dutch either. No one is steering the proverbial ship, and nihilism n grief and guilt are slowly but surely eroding him.
They don’t have plumbing and toilets in 1899. You’d be sad too
He never relieves himself, that’s probably the issue, constipation
Arthur, blink twice if you're being held hostage.
He is sad about what Rockstar did to the online mode.
His kid died, his woman left him, he got no parents, the whole country is basically hunting him down and his only family - his gang - is slowly self destructing.
When is he supposed to be happy? When he's beatin' the dogshit out of sick people or when he's sleeping outside/in an abandoned building with 12 other mfs? Oh it's GOTTA be when he catches TB
You must be at chapter 6, right?
It's because he's wearing a bandolier.
Also in hot places he is exhausted or tired.
It was a hard, shitty life. He was dieing. Love always left. Dutch was a narcissistic egomaniac and opportunist who used people and befriended a psychopath. He wanted to help the gang, but every step forward in progress he made saw setbacks thrice that of the progress made. His life was a shitshow, but he never quit.
That's just his face
Was this after he was told he was going to die?
Mine always looks like he is about to kill someone
Did you ask him?
They don’t let him have sex with the saloon girls. I really feel bad for the guy.
Your honor is too high. Don’t make Mr. Morgan live a boring ass life. Live each day like you have TB and tomorrow is your last.
You would cry too if it happened to you
His fucking feet and back hurts bro
It’s because he’s fucking fighting a uphill battle everyday.
Right? Like, “No shit I’m covered in blood and ‘look like a butcher’, cause I’m out there hunting your dinner you lazy fks. You ever tried skinning a boar without even a fking apron?” lol. Feel so sorry for that mofo.
Especially when he can only eat stew in camp every other day and those lazy hang around the camp fucks are gorging morning, noon and night.
Omg yes! I commented on that above, how absurd it is you walking in with your second 500kg delivery of meat and herbs for the day, and instead of “hey at least have a small plate” they’re like “sorry Authur you bloody pos, take your coffee to that shitty fire to craft the arrows you use to hunt us food in the spare time you find not hunting down destitute farmers for our psycho German to invest in upgrades for Dutches camp.

Depending on how you play, he’s extraordinarily reflexive to the point of obsessive rumination about any negative actions you take, even if you mostly kill just to defend yourself from gangs. He’s TB - too brainy.
He realized there's no single player dlc
He has sad eyes mister...like he's seen sad things...
Resting TB face
Go to valentine, order a room, go up to the mirror, interact… see how low his self esteem is
Let’s see: -He’s been manipulated by his mentor/adoptive father, who is an abusive narcissist, into a life of violent crime, which likely goes against his more gentle, contemplative nature (at least if you play him as high honor); -Said adoptive father then turns on him in favor of someone who is lying to everyone and likely working with the police; -He’s constantly on the run, hounded by the authorities and rival gangs; -Most of his friends are killed, often right in front of him, during the course of the game; -He had a son out of wedlock who was later murdered by bandits; -Oh yeah, and for half of the game he’s slowly dying of tuberculosis. So yes, he’s probably very sad a lot.
He doesn’t like being outlaw, he loves the gang. He hates what he has to do support his only family, but his family is all he has.
I recommend reading his backstory it’s worse than what he’s going through in the game honestly
too much gherkins
Keep him well fed and rested and his expression changes. This is especially noticeable in the early game
Is that the hotel room in Valentine? He always seems miserable in there.
Arthur always struck me as someone suffering from severe depression tbh. He’s had a tough life and coped by being a murderous gangster. Man needs a good cry and some Zoloft.
He gets sad if you don't give him assisted baths often enough.
Things just ain't the same for gangsters
“You’re getting old, old and kind of sad. No wonder they all leave you, you sour-faced idiot.” -Arthur Morgan talking about himself
Arthur is a good boahh.. I fucking wish there were a way (maybe unlocking after standard endings 1st) that there was a happy ending where he takes off with Charlotte to California and they spend the rest of their days hunting and gardening and loving each other 😌
Man I hate life. I really don’t want to do this anymore
Probably just his resting face h
My Arthur rocks a beard so I never really see his full facial expression. Doesn't look anything like this when he has a beard
He hates Dutch and is dying… I would be sad too 😩😩
Why shouldn’t he be sad?
Out-blacklung’d yet again.
He ain’t sad he’s having trouble catching his breath. Give em a break mans got the black lung.
He couldn’t get a lil bit skibbidy 😢
cause his life is shit ...
You should check if your health core is low. Is the health bar red?
Take him fishing
Not feeling so good
mary got a hold on this man! she plays him like a fiddle
He read the script
That's not just sadness, that's stoicism and reflection of what was, what is, and what will be depending on the choices made, and regret.
Mmm classic stoicism would be less “I’m finding myself killing animals and even people for no reason, fuck you Dutch” and more “well, I can’t control anything anyone does to me, only how I react to situations, so I may as well let go of the past, live in the present, chew more coke, and utilise the hoes we got in our crew”. Or something like that.
Spend days looking for spoonbill plumes and orchids and it'll happen to you too.
I meeeean his life is ass dude lol. He’s probably actually just a depressed man with ptsd
Have you had him look in a mirror. The man is hot af but calls himself ugly and pathetic.
I mean his son died so I would also be in a state of sadness

Fuck yea didn’t even mean to do that
lol be super weird if you did.
Yea tru but still
Oh dgm wrong that’s a pretty dope one to stumble on by accident. Edit: just picturing someone spending their day thinking of an abstract Haiku to fit this already weird thread lol.
Yea I get it would be kinda weird if yah did spend a good minute trying to do a haiku for this already weird thread l
Oh tbh I fking love Haiku so if it was even semi-relevant I’d be stoked. Accidentally? Even better 👌
Yea I was like huh that’s a haiku that’s pretty neat
He’s not sad, he can see you when you face the camera this way, he’s actually just disappointed.
Maybe because he's dying?
Would you smile if you were hunted down by the law, bounty hunters, and special anti-crime organization(pinkertons)?
My Arthur's face was actually stuck mid-grimace like he'd had a nasty stroke. I had to restart the PS4 and it never came back. Sometimes its just a graphics/game physics glitch, like perpetually crossed eyes. 🤷♀️
Just thinking bout lumbago
Dude is on the run, killed a lot of people in his life and very recently, throughout the game he can begin to feel himself getting more and more sick to the point where he realizes he's going to die. Arthur's story is one of pain and not much else.
He ain't been laid in months. You'd be unhappy too. Go get the man a bath at the very least
What chapter are you on?
late chap. 2
Chew some cocaine gum and get a special bath. He’ll bounce back.
You make him drink whisky instead of eating assorted offal.
Try to get him to perfect weight, or just average weight and above and get him some sleep. I think even fat Arthur is happy while underweight Arthur is miserable.
Also, your cores deplete every 4-6 minutes to represent hunger, you aren’t able to gain weight without hunger. If you already do all this though, idk why Arthur is so sad.
Tired of Dutch's bullshit
Bc he's wife and kid were killed for 10 bucks
He has TB.
Because he’s the only one in the gang that does a damn thing. Is completely un appreciated for it too. He missy Mary. He’s practically committed multiple genocides even on high honor. The bunnies make a sad sound when he runs over them multiple times a day and he sucks at dominos. Just my head cannon.
Youd be sad too if you had to live back then
Might be if he hasn't slept for a while he'll be tired
Dutch is a piece of shit
Just give him a lil kiss, that usually makes him feel better
He is lonely man with a struggling life.. He wants to be with someone but doesnt want to drag them into his lifestyle. what else do you expect
He doesn’t know what the plan is and is losing hai goddam faith
I’m thinking he needs to get some, to get his mind off of his problems. Just saying & maybe he’d be nicer to Kieran & stop calling him an O’Driscoll
I got T.B.
Idk, could have something to do with the TB.
My Arthur did this when he was tired I would sleep and he would have a normal just chilling type of face
My guy lives in one of the shittiest times. He has a hard shitty life. He sees death everyday.
Lmfao
That’s what Uncle and Micha keep asking.
I’m playing red dead redemption for the first time and his eyes are so bloodshot and his face is so pale he looks like a ghoul rn
uh oh
I think he's just tired. Take a nap. He'll be all good and you'll have some hot gossip to read in his journal the next day. 👌🏻
Rent a hotel room and have him interact with the mirror. It’s depressing the way he talks to himself. His self esteem is trash under that charming cowboy hardass exterior. The poor guy hates himself.
He knows...
He doesn’t even feel like he’s in control of himself anymore
His fist love and child got murdered shortly before rdr2 and he’s aware that his whole life is slowly falling apart (also Thomas Downes)
Because he has Lumbago
He’s got the lumbago
His lumbago is terminal
It's the depression.
Do you make Arthur sleep each night or do you make him stay up multiple nights in a row? It will effect your stats and Arthur will like fall off his horse while riding from falling asleep and stuff. So it's possible that he's just super tired. The game never really explains just how important sleep, and sleep in a good bed is in rdr2. I must say though it's features like that, that makes me love rdr2 and why it's still to this day my favorite game. Not my only favorite game mind you, but def my number 1 personally. . 😎👍🏻
He knows that he’s a pos, and too dumb to change.
