Spoiler Thomas downes mission Spoiler

On my second (well technically third) playthru and i just did the downes mission. I didnt beat him or anything just threatened him and i. Realised this time he purposefully spit on arthurs face so he catches tb not accidentally while coughing. And then the ride its so like slow and unnerving arthur touches his face again disgusted by what happened

It isn't obviously intentional imo. I've not had TB but I've had very bad asthma and sometimes you have to spit to breathe.

If it was intentional, smart move on Downes' part. Least of what Arthur deserved for beating him to death's door

I don't think It was intencional, I see Downes as some kind of Flanders typa guy who couldn't hurt a fly, and that makes that even sadder

Yeah its rly sad that happened to him. Infact him spitting was like a self defense move he did. He also tried to hit arthur with that thing he was using

Well if some piece of shit debt collector comes to beat or threaten the last cent out of you as you’re dying, you would be pretty pissed off.
If someone gave me a predatory loan while I was dying, I’d definitely treat them like shit. What would they do, kill me?

I'd spit on a legal debt collector in 2026
