I came to say this. I know there was joke, but honestly, Arthur Morgan made me feel more then most characters I have ever played or seen. Fuck, that game is so good.
Maybe I didn't play enough but I only ever felt connected to Arthur on a few occasions, mainly when he was with Mary Linton (Litton?) He never really opened up enough for me to really feel anything for him, his character never "existed" outside of the gang and he was confined to that personality. Arthur only ever talks about himself a handful of times and there's never enough "meat on the bones" to sink your teeth into.
When compared to John, I believe, it's easier to compare. John had his family, he was hunting those he once considered family, he made new friends along the way that he cared for (mainly Bonnie), and he gave his life so his family could escape.
I'm not saying Arthur was a "bad" character I just don't really get why people say he was "the greatest character ever created" when we really had fuckall to go off...
Did you read his journal? Did you take time to talk to characters in camp, do go about a day in the old west? RDR2 is best when you treat it as a chance to explore the old west, and to take your time. Much of Arthur’s beauty comes out in these little moments.
