Emmi Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I think he'll be amongst R* 's best protagonists. Trevor, Michael and Franklin ... pfff, the worst of the worst! Cozzi, naanbread, Sonny_Black and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnClay Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 At the moment, he seems alright. I love the idea of a "take-no-sh*t-from-anyone" protagonist. I just hope that he isn't completely bland as a character. I want some depth to him. WHY is he an outlaw in the first place? HOW did he become this way? WHAT drives him? Not just the typical "oh, you know...he's a criminal" backstory. Algonquin Assassin, Cozzi and Hunter S. Compton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I just thought...maybe the "Redemption" part in the title of this game is referring to Rockstar redeeming themselves after GTA V's story (and basically everything to do with GTA Online) Just an off-topic thought...

Old_BenKenobi Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I did, and that's what makes me excited to play as him. John Marston was the perfect Western anti-hero. Retreading that same ground would just be imitation. Playing as an out-and-out bad guy is going to be awesome.

VVipeSide Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 guy seems about right, yeah, a villain. Trevor is too. I'm fed up with good guys like Niko Bellic or John Marston. I mean they're ok but someone different for a change. Not these ANGELS with dirty faces...good guys who did a little bloodshed here and there.

I keep hearing this but I don't get it at all. What about Arthur Morgan is the same as Lincoln Clay? I mean i personally think we haven't seen enough of Arthur to assess his character, but so far he just seems like an old school gangster type threatening people and beating asses, and loving what he does. where as Lincoln seems good at heart, loyal, and would've probably not been a killer if he felt like he had a choice. I mean, there's multiple endings and a few choices, but going by the cut scenes and dialogue you cant control, this is how he was written to be. He seems a hell alot nicer than Herbert Moon. Herbert Moon was also a racist. lol. and antisemitic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAL Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) I think he looks like one of those cool protagonists when you first see him in the trailers, but when the game comes out he'll be insanely boring to play as.

saintsrow Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Rockstar created Trevor in GTAV, so the large demographic of aggro, angsted, frustrated gamer assholes would have their very own protag asshole to identify with. More than $3 billion later, Rockstar's thinking, "Damn, that sh*t Trevor character really worked out. All the kids are saying he's the best character in GTAV." Then they continue the logic, "RDR2's gonna need some special juice to punch it up, since it doesn't have jets and supercars, so we're gonna have to create an even bigger asshole protag, for normal people to hate, so the growing demographic of loser permanent virgin gamers will adopt him as their hero. OK, so who's got some good ideas for creating a total asshole?" Piggsy pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Justice Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) "You're the only one of these fools that I trust." Why would she trust him if he's a psychopath? By comparison, even Trevor's cronies were terrified of him. So far, we've only seen him act aggressively towards people who owe him money/bank staff. He might be a sociopath but that doesn't make him a psychopath. Edited October 18, 2017 by Dick Justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Instant dislike? No. Trevor wasn't so much likeable as well. Arthur seems more nice than him. He ain't good when compared to Marston but that's just a different protagonist. One can't like each game's protag. That's just how it is. Doesn't stop you from playing though. i5 10400F • MSI Z490-A PRO • XPG 16GB DDR4 3000MHz • MSI RX 570 4GB • NZXT H510 • Cooler Master MWE 650 V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter S. Compton Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Something that bothers me about all this conjecture about Arthur Morgan being is an asshole is that we have no idea who the people are that he is threatening. They've obviously engaged with his gang in some way; maybe they have outstanding gambling debts, maybe they borrowed money they couldn't pay back. I doubt he just as a ledger full of people who he just thinks it would be fun to kick around for cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
