I didn’t believe he went crazy until he killed the blind woman. He didn’t even pick back up the gold he payed her, he just did it to do it. I liked Dutch up until that moment. I feel like the failed robberies, greed, and Micah turned him crazy, but originally he was good.
Idk the lady on guarma was justified. She pulled a knife. I actually went back to try to get the gold back off of her. But it doesnt give you a loot option.
Hosea if he would live would side with Arthur and John and miss grimshaw the gang fell apart after Hosea died he was heart and soul 2nd in commander of the gang
I was expecting it. It was when he shot Cornwall that I knew that he definitely fucking lost it. That, and siding with Micah instead of the people he considered his family for years. And also John said that Dutch just sat there and let him get arrested before.
I saw it coming honestly but I thought when he was telling Arthur to look for files he was gonna shoot him in the back or something then tell everyone some bs
What got to me is when he sees Eagle Flies clearly wounded, about to die, and Dutch says "Everything is coming together, exactly as I planned." That was just cold hearted.
I felt bad for rain falls when eagle flies died, and i think dutch took over them indians from eagle flies due to there being indians as "dutchs men" in rdr1, that mustve been part of his 'plan'
@@ShadowFox11910 He was a brave, foolish young man who fell for Dutch's pretty words and charisma just like the rest of the gang and got lulled into doing something foolish. The Indian Wars are actually a pretty important part of American History and you can't have a good Western without at least mentioning them.
Hosea was the most intelligent member he was always the voice in Dutches ear which was a good thing but then after his death Micha took over and things went down hill from there
Also when they needed a boat so the robbed a bank but there was no money he then went to that train thingy and rode there but then it crashed after the crash he was dizzy then went full psycho, maybe thats why his plans where a failure since all of his plans includes risking someones life and violation
@-lmao now I’ll have a line through my name- Micah was a cucked coward at the start. He only dared taunt Arthur after he became terminally ill and finally managed to scrape up enough guts to fight him on his fucking deathbed.
That's exactly why they had to die. Cause then arthur would have stopped dutch and micah right there. If you have the steel book like I do, looking inside, you can see on the right is dutch and those who side with him and on the left. Arthur, and who I believe side with him.
@@komando5102 to be honest, hosea killed himself. He spent the whole game fighting dutch on every idea of his, and right when hes like "yeah let's go rob this big bank" that's when it finally bit him.
I think most would've stayed loyal all the way up until Dutch was gonna flat out leave Abigail behind. That would've been the final straw and they would've chose to ride out with Arthur in order to save her.
What Bronte says to Dutch before he dies is ultimately true. In the end Dutch stood for nothing, he was just creating chaos out of spite, and when his time to die came there was no big finale. No final great speech, he died as nothing.
@@fighteraircraft4576 so what if it mattered to John, John would die and no one else will hear that final speech. In the end even his speech was nothing
@@evolutionmax9791 exactly ... . I was mad pissed . When I had no choice to kill and lose honor . I even stopped and didn't shot but when Micah dies ( which he will if you don't help him ) you lose the damn mission . Dead end mission . Nothing to gain but a freaking rat 🐀 . But as Dutch said " he would do the same for you Arthur " 🤔🥴🥴🥴🤔😬😬
Micah makes alot of noise & fame as a psycho killer. He's a two time backstabber like Big Smoke in GTASA. No loyalty to the gang & no love for the gang cuz the way he said to Arthur, he doesn't care anyone but himself only. That happen when Lenny died shot in the head by the law & Micah didn't care about what happen.
I remember when I didn’t wash for like a week and I went back to camp only for her to drag me by the ear to the wash bucket and then she took 6.50 from me
Fun fact: He never actually had any plan, the voice actor of dutch said that Dutch made up the whole Tahiti plan so the gang would have an objective and not lose morale
@@paulallen2680 probably dutch was the kind of person that hated change he saw that the wild west was slowly being tamed and, he tried to fight against that change and take everyone and everything down with him, im guessing that during rdr 1 he finally realized that the days of gunslingers was over and he decided that he couldn't live in a world that didn't want outlaws anymore
@@djdocdragon428 yep, if everyone just made their own mango farms on tahiti, there would be no reason to worship Dutch like a messiah anymore, become independent. It's why I think he waa doomed before Hosea death, trolley incident, Micah, etc. All of those just sped up the process
@@paulallen2680To fight an unwinnable war against progress, Dutch was an Anarchist, he wanted a land of no laws and no governments, like how the world was when he was a kid and just starting out as an outlaw, he wanted the whole world to be the wild west
@@JJ-hq3fl Both end up alive though right? I mean they both die in RDR1 well all of them do but Micah and Dutch had around the equal amount of chance to either die or live at that point and same as Marston but idk how he lived though tbh being shot like he was idk how he would have made it but he did
Because was a man who was being tested so his true self came out. Not the man he put on for everyone else, but a prideful man who would rather have those close to him die than admit that he is wrong.
Well, they are both gangs that are full of outlaws that are on the run from the law while making camps at many locations and every gang lives similar to that. So I’m not sure if that really means that he knew something was wrong with Dutch but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had Kieran say that to hint at Dutch’s nature.
@DeadlyNeedle ! No, Kieran is right. People are just people. The Van der Linde gang is no better than the O'driscolls. In fact, based on what we see them do in the game, they are worse. We come to care about the gang because they are the protagonists, but if you flipped it around you could see it the other way too.
@Ryo Asuka To be fair, that's precisely what Colm O'Driscoll wanted the gang to do, at which point, they'd all get turned in. Still kind of a shitty risk but in that case I can understand the decision there. Besides, Dutch was still for the most part in control of his mental faculties due to Hosea's influence. I started losing faith in Dutch during the Guarma section, and the breaking point for me was the reaction to saving John.
That binocular shot was insane if you think about it lol. Also Dutch left Arthur another time when the ship was sinking. So he left Arthur to die at least three times.
the first one is honestly my favorite thing from Dutch. It shows how much he really cares for Jack and how he still has some hope for the camp. Rather than being manipulated by Micah. You can slowly see him change through the scenes. From hunting a woman down for a boy to killing a old lady to drowning a man to betraying his best friend and most valuable asset.
I don’t think he acted in a dishonourable way in the Braithwaite manor, i think he and all of the other gang members were just really worried and angry about how Jack was taken, so they took they anger out on the people that kidnapped someone they all care so much about, It just shows me Dutch’s honest love and care for John and his Son, something he lost at the game went on.
@@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE Well it was actually a lot more than just that. He also had ongoing resentment for Southern people over slavery and his own dad being killed in the Civil War. Jack was just his way to justify himself. Admittedly, it was quite so. Just not for the reasons in the back of his mind.
Killing the old lady was justifiable. She accepted payment, then tried to squeeze more out of Dutch. Then when Dutch didn't pay up she pulled a knife on him. Old lady got what she deserved tbh.
That moment when they're talking of abandoning Abigail is one of my favorites in the game. Arthur has nothing to say but, "Dutch," in desperation. He can't verbalize it, but he's begging Dutch not to make him turn on the gang. Arthur's own abandonment was forgiven. So was John's. This was the final straw.
After all Micah was the one who told dutch they don’t need abigail in my opinion i think he said that because of how many time he got rejected from abigail when he said he wants to take her out and have you know with her so when he heard she was in trouble he became an asshole and said that they don’t need her which surprised me of how micah easily manipulated dutch there i was legitimately not thinking he would let Abigail just die
"Its just a girl Dutch" "Micah is right, It is just a girl Authur" *processes to overwrite what Arthur should've have said* "So is Annabel? Huh! What about her so she just a girl to you?!!" *angry Dutch*
@@michaelramirez2545 yeah but thats a bit more understandable, they kidnapped John's kid and the whole Braithwaite and Gray war led to Sean being killed and a lot of other messiness in that situation
Honestly we all should appoint the fact that in a different universe Micah shoots Dutch and the gang kills him. Forcing Arthur the new leader of the gang and he makes sure everybody leaves the gang and start a new life and he dies of TB happily
It’s good foreshadowing. The way they stand side by side, glance at each other and then stare in the water. They are beginning to realise Dutch perhaps isn’t the man they thought he was.
Technically Arthur betrayed the gang. But it was very well justified. Even then he didn't go crazy and he wasn't evil. The thing is after Hosea died Dutch was in a vulnerable state. Micha saw it before Arthur and pounced first. I think all the time he sat in his tent he was thinking and his conscience was eating at him.
@@kira2650 it’s more like the gang betrayed Dutch. The only people who were with Dutch in the end were Mica, his 2 friends, Bill, and Javier. But even Javier left Dutch soon after. Basically the entire gang realized Dutch was insane except for Bill. And that’s because Bill was a moron.
@@arthurmorgan1007 Thats the sad part about Dutch, it never was about the Money for him. Even in the Epilogue, he just left John with all that money and gold. He was selfish for his own Ego and not necessarily for greed.
Dutch practically abandons Aruthur and John, they were some of the first members and practically his kids, then when people started to die especially after Hosea Is when Micah started to cloud his mind.
But we kind of saw it the other way around with Arthur. He started off as an anti-hero only loyal to the gang and ended up the hero. One of the only heroes you'll play as in Rockstar games.
@@gfde7421 he’s a psychopath. Not the stereotypical “killer” but a cold hearted, manipulative, zero remorse, little to no emotion person and if he did show emotion it was fake

I wish Dutch hadn't turned evil. I really liked him at the start of the game. Edit: Yes, I know he was already evil in RDR1. I'm not saying I was surprised, I knew he was going to change, I'm just saying he was very likable at the start of RDR2.
@@cognotouchpasmonble4527 you can find out when he truly changes is after his brain/head injury after the robbery in saint Denis, when the tram crashes
Micah joined the gang and their luck turned sour by chance. Then, as their luck continued to rot, Micah put the nail in the coffin by turning informant for the law. Micah also sewed seeds of doubt in Dutch and fed into his maniacal tendencies that had been kept at bay by Hosea and fanned at by Arthur. Dutch began to care less about the weaker gang members and even those who were strong if they were in disadvantageous spots. Micah is the ultimate bad guy in this story, but the gang's unwavering loyalty to Dutch cost them everything. They treated Dutch like a demigod when really he was declining into a madman.
Hosea was really the wisdom of the gang and the moral compass of Dutch and what kept him in the safe. Once he died, Dutch's moral compass got replaced with Micah...
I feel it was Dutch’s “plan” to kill John, or leave him for dead. He didn’t save him nearly as soon as he should’ve from the prison, he actual,y didn’t save em, Arthur and Sadie did. And then left him to die again later!
@@yaniel111 I would say, that he mostly cared about the money. Saying that he only cared about the money is wrong, he clearly loved Hosea, John and Arthur. It's just, that he chose money over them.
@@yaniel111 No. Before he really went crazy, he did save Arthur for instance from prison countless times in the game. And I doubt for 20 years he could have easily play himself as a caring man. There were surely situations where he really needed to protect Arthur and John, and he did it. He has huge ego and was very delusional from the beginning, but he surely did care. Then he hit his head (this is probably meaningful, otherwise it wouldn't have happened) then Hosea died.... meanwhile Micah used the situation to himself. That is how he totally went crazy. The little hints are really something in this game. In chapter one (I think) Arthur talks back to Dutch, even calls him pathetic, but Dutch doesn't freak out. In the last chapter he freaks out just because Arthur says "insist".
Honestly I was kind of annoyed that Arthur even agreed to do that last train robbery mission with Dutch, since by then Dutch had already left him for dead in the oil office. Like, you have the option of declining to help Sadie, but not Dutch?
well that is arthurs whole character a man who is blinded by loyalty too much and as mary describes he is fighting a huge monster inside of himself but loses every time because he is so loyal.
Loyalty is an amazing quality more people should have. But I agree, Arthur lacked any discernment concerning himself and anyone he cared about. He had too much faith in the wrong object. He should have run away with Mary. At least then he would have more time to give meaningfully. Then again, the rest of the gang, especially John, needed him there. Arthur was right all along in the end. He redeemed his final days ultimately. And his legacy was not forgotten nor did it bring disgrace.
I guess he figured he could get some money for the others if he went along for the robbery. And in a way it did work out, as he gave the money he took from the train to Tilly.
Dutch has a way with words and plus he raised arthur and arthur is blinded by Dutchs ideas... he still thinks he can help dutch or maybe he doubted what he saw
Arthur changed himself to be a good man. The best. Dutch gave in to his nature and became a terrible man. Just a great parallel between two beautifully written characters
God, one of my favorite quotes from the whole game is when Hosea says, “guess that’s the end of the goddamn cribbage game.” While walking out of a burning manor
Guys he is talking about a different person, in rdr1 Dutch takes a girl hostage at the Town Hall I think, I'm not sure but he shoots her. It's not Heidi Mcourt because she gets shot before rdr2 starts.

@@radhummingbird97 but when John Arthur and Bill were going to six point with kieran he said that colm killed his dear in which John said that they were riding with lady killer but dutch killed also a girl on boat
Dutch and Colm are two sides of the same coin. They're both consumed in their own arrogance and swear vengeance, hating each other, but in the end, they were always just alike.

@@anthonyspitery6332 I was so taken aback when I heard Dutch say that after he threw that dude to the gator... literal chills. I played rdr 1 when I was like 12 and holy shit it's just soo perfect
When I first played the Braithwaite Massacre Mission I honestly did feel the same way as Dutch did angry, focused and crazy. This game really makes you feel like your there with the characters.
Drowning Brontë was a little excessive but I think they took it easy on Catherine. I wanted to kill her too but leaving her alive with her burning house and most of her family dead was worse than death. I think Dutch took it easy on her and went a little overboard with Brontë Lol overboard
Putridfoe 65 I think it was just the huge amount of stress that pushed him to his limits, that and how he probably got used to being able to talk his way out of failure. Something which likely made it harder for him to work to actual success.
I look at it as a tragedy. Just not as interesting as Arthur. Over time he became broke, the some of the gang followed him of the ledge into crazy town.
Putridfoe 65 It was a mixture of the head wound he got on the trolley and the increasing stress of the gang, specifically Hosea’s death. He was corrupt with paranoia of betrayal.
There are many theories of when exactly he went crazy -After losing Hosea -Ever since Micah Joined and slowly manipulated him into insanity -After Bronte’s Betrayal -On Bronte’s train station set up job when he hit his head - after washing out on Guarma with the thought he lost Arthur for a day Or simply he was always crazy
When I played this the first time, I knew nothing about RDR. I wanted to play them in chronological order, and I was totally in shock at how Dutch threw his relationship with Arthur away all because of Micah and his own sick idea of a “perfect” world. Definitely my favorite game series.
I reckon he got brain damage when the tram crashed in Saint Denis, he mentions during the mission how he's dizzy and only starts going full psycho afterwards
I noticed that too! But to be honest, he is a fool for believing Bronte in the first place. I knew every word he said was a joke when he was talking to him its so obvious.
And in the end, it was the other way around. The only person who changed in the gang was Dutch, unfortunately. He starting losing his mind, and with that rat Micah manipulating him, he just lost it
Glad you saved the girl he shoots at the bank for last. To me, that was by far the most rotten thing Dutch did. Everything else was at least slightly defensible. Killing Braithwaite, Bronte and that woman on the island were brutal and bloodthirsty acts, but they had betrayed Dutch first. Leaving John behind multiple times and Arthur in the factory were cowardly acts, but you could make an (admittedly weak) argument that Dutch felt the situation was hopeless and underestimated his chances of success in rescuing his crew. Trusting Micah over Arthur was greedy, but Dutch does come to his senses and shoots Micah at the end of the game. Finally, executing that ranger in his camp was horrible and in no way justifiable, but it's slightly less horrible than killing the woman at the bank in that the ranger knew the risks of his job when he took it. However, that woman at the bank was totally innocent. She posed no threat and had done no wrong in any way. Dutch murdered her in cold blood for no reason. There was absolutely no excuse or justification for that.
Personally, I think him killing that girl was basically what happened in Blackwater when he killed Heidi McCourt. So he was really always capable of murdering innocent people and just looked for excuses to justify his horrible actions. The difference is that in RDR1 when he shot that girl, he didn't even try to justify anything because at that point he knew what he was and didn't try to hide it.
I agree that killing the little girl was horrible, i dont think it was for nothing, in the heat of the moment he killed her and made her corpse go against John and his team. I believe it was to buy some time, get a distraction for the team and buy a little time to escape
@@Thatguy-ki3po Even from a purely tactical standpoint, that was unnecessary. Dutch could have shoved the woman towards John and the officers without shooting her. That would have distracted them long enough to escape. It was a cold-blooded murder and it showed just how far Dutch had fallen from his ideals.
That bank heist in Saint Denis broke the gang, since Lenny and especially Hosea died. I felt like Hosea was the one that brought common sense and rationale to the table while also keeping Dutch on a short leash with all his crazy ideas.
In my opinion, what made it so was the constant pressure "Dutch, no money", "Dutch, the Pinkerton", "Dutch! Have Marston", "Dutch! Have Abigail!", "Dutch! boy "," Dutch! Pinkerton follow us ", Dutch this, Dutch that, but nobody asked" Dutch? you're fine?"
Arthur asked him all the time. He questioned him but with great concern for someone who was like a Father to him. Even when Bronte offered them 1,000’s to whoever killed Dutch, it’s like they never even considered it for a second.
@@hamakuasledgehammer1920 When Bronte offered money and when the pinkertons offered freedom, noone betrayed Dutch. The gang always had his back, but he turned his back on them.
i went from having all my respect for dutch in the beginning bc he leaded the gang planned the robberies, which is really stressful, to absolutely having no respect for him. what he did to arthur at the end of chapter 6 is horrific and unforgivable
Put yourself in his place.. Dutch raised John Arthur, helped them, and saved their lives more than once, along with most of the gang members, until he ended up betraying him.. and Dutch did not know who the traitor was. Arthur is the person who disagrees with him the most at the end of the story. For this reason, he suspects that he is the traitor, but at the end of the game he recognizes the traitor and takes revenge on Micah.
In my opinion all kill Arthur make was him defending himself or following Dutch's orders. Like Vili Conor said It's the manner in which he kills them. Dutch had no reason to kill blind woman when she was no threat to them
Him killing Micah at the end of the game really makes me think that he was losing it but after what happened with Arthur, he legitimately felt awful for what he did and tried to do everything in his power to make it right. I honestly don’t think he’s a bad person, he was just misguided by Micah and a little nuts, because if he really was a bad guy, he would’ve killed Adler and John and taken that money, because after years, he had everything he wanted, and threw it out to help John.

I think most would've stayed loyal all the way up until Dutch was gonna flat out leave Abigail behind. That would've been the final straw and they would've chose to ride out with Arthur in order to save her.

Thats fine, Im talking about her voice, which varies in believability
Not even the voice acting but the acting in general because they probably had to do all of this in some live capture suits and everything
What Bronte says to Dutch before he dies is ultimately true. In the end Dutch stood for nothing, he was just creating chaos out of spite, and when his time to die came there was no big finale. No final great speech, he died as nothing.
Well, tbf his final speech to John had volume and it mattered a lot. If you disagree with it then you are wrong.
@ That coupled with Ross walking away from his corpse telling Archer "Come on. Let's go find someone else to bother."
His gang stood for nothing either. Which is a shame, all those people died for nothing.
@@fighteraircraft4576 so what if it mattered to John, John would die and no one else will hear that final speech. In the end even his speech was nothing

@@djdocdragon428 yep, if everyone just made their own mango farms on tahiti, there would be no reason to worship Dutch like a messiah anymore, become independent. It's why I think he waa doomed before Hosea death, trolley incident, Micah, etc. All of those just sped up the process

Because that person promised him money which was all Dutch cared about

Damn I didn’t think too much of that
Well, they are both gangs that are full of outlaws that are on the run from the law while making camps at many locations and every gang lives similar to that. So I’m not sure if that really means that he knew something was wrong with Dutch but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had Kieran say that to hint at Dutch’s nature.
@DeadlyNeedle ! No, Kieran is right. People are just people. The Van der Linde gang is no better than the O'driscolls. In fact, based on what we see them do in the game, they are worse. We come to care about the gang because they are the protagonists, but if you flipped it around you could see it the other way too.

@Ryo Asuka To be fair, that's precisely what Colm O'Driscoll wanted the gang to do, at which point, they'd all get turned in. Still kind of a shitty risk but in that case I can understand the decision there. Besides, Dutch was still for the most part in control of his mental faculties due to Hosea's influence. I started losing faith in Dutch during the Guarma section, and the breaking point for me was the reaction to saving John.
I started to hate him when he shot my damm binocolaurs in Red dead redemption 1.

That binocular shot was insane if you think about it lol. Also Dutch left Arthur another time when the ship was sinking. So he left Arthur to die at least three times.

*T A H I T I*
*we need more money*
the first one is honestly my favorite thing from Dutch. It shows how much he really cares for Jack and how he still has some hope for the camp. Rather than being manipulated by Micah. You can slowly see him change through the scenes. From hunting a woman down for a boy to killing a old lady to drowning a man to betraying his best friend and most valuable asset.
I don’t think he acted in a dishonourable way in the Braithwaite manor, i think he and all of the other gang members were just really worried and angry about how Jack was taken, so they took they anger out on the people that kidnapped someone they all care so much about, It just shows me Dutch’s honest love and care for John and his Son, something he lost at the game went on.
@@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE Well it was actually a lot more than just that. He also had ongoing resentment for Southern people over slavery and his own dad being killed in the Civil War. Jack was just his way to justify himself. Admittedly, it was quite so. Just not for the reasons in the back of his mind.
I don’t get why people are mad about me killing the old lady. It was obvious she was gonna betray us!
@@ChristianNationalist654 YES [Learn Dutch Today!] I [Total cost]LY UNDERSTAND [UA-cam]
Killing the old lady was justifiable. She accepted payment, then tried to squeeze more out of Dutch. Then when Dutch didn't pay up she pulled a knife on him. Old lady got what she deserved tbh.
That moment when they're talking of abandoning Abigail is one of my favorites in the game. Arthur has nothing to say but, "Dutch," in desperation. He can't verbalize it, but he's begging Dutch not to make him turn on the gang. Arthur's own abandonment was forgiven. So was John's. This was the final straw.
Very well said
After all Micah was the one who told dutch they don’t need abigail in my opinion i think he said that because of how many time he got rejected from abigail when he said he wants to take her out and have you know with her so when he heard she was in trouble he became an asshole and said that they don’t need her which surprised me of how micah easily manipulated dutch there i was legitimately not thinking he would let Abigail just die

It’s good foreshadowing. The way they stand side by side, glance at each other and then stare in the water. They are beginning to realise Dutch perhaps isn’t the man they thought he was.
Back in Clemens point when Dutch said "I was gonna say you're like a son to me but you are more" made his betrayals hurt all the more.
He went crazy
Ikr
Technically Arthur betrayed the gang. But it was very well justified. Even then he didn't go crazy and he wasn't evil. The thing is after Hosea died Dutch was in a vulnerable state. Micha saw it before Arthur and pounced first. I think all the time he sat in his tent he was thinking and his conscience was eating at him.
@@kira2650 it’s more like the gang betrayed Dutch. The only people who were with Dutch in the end were Mica, his 2 friends, Bill, and Javier. But even Javier left Dutch soon after. Basically the entire gang realized Dutch was insane except for Bill. And that’s because Bill was a moron.

Micah joined the gang and their luck turned sour by chance. Then, as their luck continued to rot, Micah put the nail in the coffin by turning informant for the law. Micah also sewed seeds of doubt in Dutch and fed into his maniacal tendencies that had been kept at bay by Hosea and fanned at by Arthur. Dutch began to care less about the weaker gang members and even those who were strong if they were in disadvantageous spots. Micah is the ultimate bad guy in this story, but the gang's unwavering loyalty to Dutch cost them everything. They treated Dutch like a demigod when really he was declining into a madman.
Hosea was really the wisdom of the gang and the moral compass of Dutch and what kept him in the safe. Once he died, Dutch's moral compass got replaced with Micah...
I feel it was Dutch’s “plan” to kill John, or leave him for dead. He didn’t save him nearly as soon as he should’ve from the prison, he actual,y didn’t save em, Arthur and Sadie did. And then left him to die again later!

@@yaniel111 No. Before he really went crazy, he did save Arthur for instance from prison countless times in the game. And I doubt for 20 years he could have easily play himself as a caring man. There were surely situations where he really needed to protect Arthur and John, and he did it. He has huge ego and was very delusional from the beginning, but he surely did care. Then he hit his head (this is probably meaningful, otherwise it wouldn't have happened) then Hosea died.... meanwhile Micah used the situation to himself. That is how he totally went crazy. The little hints are really something in this game. In chapter one (I think) Arthur talks back to Dutch, even calls him pathetic, but Dutch doesn't freak out. In the last chapter he freaks out just because Arthur says "insist".
At 3:23 Bill looks at everyone's faces to check if someone's willing to take the offer alongside him. The attention to detail in this game!
Which is just insane considering Bill is regarded as one of the most loyal to Dutch.
Honestly I was kind of annoyed that Arthur even agreed to do that last train robbery mission with Dutch, since by then Dutch had already left him for dead in the oil office. Like, you have the option of declining to help Sadie, but not Dutch?
well that is arthurs whole character a man who is blinded by loyalty too much and as mary describes he is fighting a huge monster inside of himself but loses every time because he is so loyal.
Yeah, but Arthur was like us. He still wanted to believe, that the man he trusted for so long could return to normal again. Sadly, he didn't.
Loyalty is an amazing quality more people should have. But I agree, Arthur lacked any discernment concerning himself and anyone he cared about. He had too much faith in the wrong object. He should have run away with Mary. At least then he would have more time to give meaningfully. Then again, the rest of the gang, especially John, needed him there. Arthur was right all along in the end. He redeemed his final days ultimately. And his legacy was not forgotten nor did it bring disgrace.
I guess he figured he could get some money for the others if he went along for the robbery. And in a way it did work out, as he gave the money he took from the train to Tilly.
Dutch has a way with words and plus he raised arthur and arthur is blinded by Dutchs ideas... he still thinks he can help dutch or maybe he doubted what he saw

Dutch: "But it is us or him. I figure it might as well be him."
John (in RDR1): "It's either you or me. The way I see it, it might as well be you."
I love that parallel so much! Throwing some of that blind loyalty logic right the fuck back at Javier. John is such a badass
@@anthonyspitery6332 I was so taken aback when I heard Dutch say that after he threw that dude to the gator... literal chills. I played rdr 1 when I was like 12 and holy shit it's just soo perfect
When I first played the Braithwaite Massacre Mission I honestly did feel the same way as Dutch did angry, focused and crazy. This game really makes you feel like your there with the characters.
Drowning Brontë was a little excessive but I think they took it easy on Catherine. I wanted to kill her too but leaving her alive with her burning house and most of her family dead was worse than death. I think Dutch took it easy on her and went a little overboard with Brontë
Lol overboard

You mean revolver
Dutch went crazy after Hosea got killed. So he wasn’t always crazy... Right?
Putridfoe 65 I think it was just the huge amount of stress that pushed him to his limits, that and how he probably got used to being able to talk his way out of failure. Something which likely made it harder for him to work to actual success.
After all, drowning the guy was something he did to relieve stress, it didn’t have any real benefit.
I look at it as a tragedy. Just not as interesting as Arthur. Over time he became broke, the some of the gang followed him of the ledge into crazy town.
Putridfoe 65 It was a mixture of the head wound he got on the trolley and the increasing stress of the gang, specifically Hosea’s death. He was corrupt with paranoia of betrayal.
There are many theories of when exactly he went crazy
-After losing Hosea
-Ever since Micah Joined and slowly manipulated him into insanity
-After Bronte’s Betrayal
-On Bronte’s train station set up job when he hit his head
- after washing out on Guarma with the thought he lost Arthur for a day
Or simply he was always crazy
3:15 the most gangster display of loyalty of 2018 in gaming.
Damn straight
When I played this the first time, I knew nothing about RDR. I wanted to play them in chronological order, and I was totally in shock at how Dutch threw his relationship with Arthur away all because of Micah and his own sick idea of a “perfect” world. Definitely my favorite game series.
I reckon he got brain damage when the tram crashed in Saint Denis, he mentions during the mission how he's dizzy and only starts going full psycho afterwards
Smart
Nice observation.
Yeah as soon as that happens i knew shit was about to get far worse
They foreshadowed the hell out of that mission, after that I knew it was only gonna get worse
I noticed that too! But to be honest, he is a fool for believing Bronte in the first place. I knew every word he said was a joke when he was talking to him its so obvious.
Love and hate dutch at the same time

There’s a random camp interaction where Dutch says to Arthur, “I expect you’ll betray me in the end Arthur, you’re the type.”
And in the end, it was the other way around. The only person who changed in the gang was Dutch, unfortunately. He starting losing his mind, and with that rat Micah manipulating him, he just lost it
Glad you saved the girl he shoots at the bank for last. To me, that was by far the most rotten thing Dutch did. Everything else was at least slightly defensible.
Killing Braithwaite, Bronte and that woman on the island were brutal and bloodthirsty acts, but they had betrayed Dutch first. Leaving John behind multiple times and Arthur in the factory were cowardly acts, but you could make an (admittedly weak) argument that Dutch felt the situation was hopeless and underestimated his chances of success in rescuing his crew. Trusting Micah over Arthur was greedy, but Dutch does come to his senses and shoots Micah at the end of the game. Finally, executing that ranger in his camp was horrible and in no way justifiable, but it's slightly less horrible than killing the woman at the bank in that the ranger knew the risks of his job when he took it.
However, that woman at the bank was totally innocent. She posed no threat and had done no wrong in any way. Dutch murdered her in cold blood for no reason. There was absolutely no excuse or justification for that.
Personally, I think him killing that girl was basically what happened in Blackwater when he killed Heidi McCourt. So he was really always capable of murdering innocent people and just looked for excuses to justify his horrible actions. The difference is that in RDR1 when he shot that girl, he didn't even try to justify anything because at that point he knew what he was and didn't try to hide it.
Don't forget Heidi McCourt, an innocent young woman he murdered OFF SCREEN before the events of RDR2 in Blackwater.
I agree that killing the little girl was horrible, i dont think it was for nothing, in the heat of the moment he killed her and made her corpse go against John and his team. I believe it was to buy some time, get a distraction for the team and buy a little time to escape
@@Thatguy-ki3po Even from a purely tactical standpoint, that was unnecessary. Dutch could have shoved the woman towards John and the officers without shooting her. That would have distracted them long enough to escape. It was a cold-blooded murder and it showed just how far Dutch had fallen from his ideals.
Micah:We can make it

Lmfao this is just the dutchest moment in the entire red dead series
I know haha
He left arthur to die :'(
Meanwhile what he’s doing is completely idiotic. Classic Dutch
Light Yagami wannabe.
Ah Dutch, always saying things are going exactly to plan when literally nothing is going exactly to plan
I am just trying to make sure that some of us survive. you guys think i want any of this? ofcourse I dont
Arthur Morgan Loyalty Arthur, I had a GODDAMN PLAN. You had always the doubts Arthur
Arthur Morgan I didnt had a choice. He was my boy, he was my son, I did no such thing!
@@1123gaba You watched me die, Dutch but barely made an attempt to save me during that bank job.
Dutch how could you
Mabey if you came up with a better plan and hit a train instead of a bank Hosea and Lenny would still be alive😭😭
1st time.. Dutch: “I have a plan”
42nd time Dutch: “I have a new plan”
Me: “stfu Dutch”
Me: tell me the plan
Dutch: no
That bank heist in Saint Denis broke the gang, since Lenny and especially Hosea died. I felt like Hosea was the one that brought common sense and rationale to the table while also keeping Dutch on a short leash with all his crazy ideas.
i dont know about the italian one. the little weasel deserved to be eaten by gators
the braithwaite lady too
Same goes for the Braithwaite hag.
I didn't mind that old lady in Gurma either but he didn't even pick the gold off of her if I'm correct
@@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830 trust I was like bruh
Malcolm311 the problem is John and Arthur began to realize Dutch enjoys killing people and the whole point of kidnapping Bronte was to Ransom him.
Yeah but he took it to far i know he deserve it but his whole code WAS not doing that "Revenge is a fools game"
In my opinion, what made it so was the constant pressure "Dutch, no money", "Dutch, the Pinkerton", "Dutch! Have Marston", "Dutch! Have Abigail!", "Dutch! boy "," Dutch! Pinkerton follow us ", Dutch this, Dutch that, but nobody asked" Dutch? you're fine?"
first one to stand beside him
@Absolutely Barbaric i agree as soon as hosea and lenny died thats when things start to fall apart
Arthur asked him all the time. He questioned him but with great concern for someone who was like a Father to him. Even when Bronte offered them 1,000’s to whoever killed Dutch, it’s like they never even considered it for a second.
@@hamakuasledgehammer1920 When Bronte offered money and when the pinkertons offered freedom, noone betrayed Dutch. The gang always had his back, but he turned his back on them.
Only one asked the is susan but he react very crazy
i went from having all my respect for dutch in the beginning bc he leaded the gang planned the robberies, which is really stressful, to absolutely having no respect for him. what he did to arthur at the end of chapter 6 is horrific and unforgivable
Put yourself in his place.. Dutch raised John Arthur, helped them, and saved their lives more than once, along with most of the gang members, until he ended up betraying him.. and Dutch did not know who the traitor was. Arthur is the person who disagrees with him the most at the end of the story. For this reason, he suspects that he is the traitor, but at the end of the game he recognizes the traitor and takes revenge on Micah.
Arthur : *kills a lot of Cops,O' Driscolls and more*
Dutch : *kills one person*
Arthur : Dutch you must be out of your mind what is wrong with you..?
In my opinion all kill Arthur make was him defending himself or following Dutch's orders.
Like Vili Conor said It's the manner in which he kills them. Dutch had no reason to kill blind woman when she was no threat to them
@@MattRogan28 She pulled a knife on him.
@@memecliparchives2254 he really didn't have to kill her though
Andree Tungcab he was ready to kill her before she pulled out a knife
KyleBrickz what kinda thing do you do with Arthur I’m a good boah
3:57 pretty scary even the whole gang
Nice easter egg there. In RDR1 John says to Javier "It's either me or you and the way I look at it might as well be you"
Him killing Micah at the end of the game really makes me think that he was losing it but after what happened with Arthur, he legitimately felt awful for what he did and tried to do everything in his power to make it right. I honestly don’t think he’s a bad person, he was just misguided by Micah and a little nuts, because if he really was a bad guy, he would’ve killed Adler and John and taken that money, because after years, he had everything he wanted, and threw it out to help John.
It is clear that Dutch went crazy since he learned about T A H I T I

Watching dutch slowly turn into the man we know from rdr1 is heartbreaking. Knowing that he was once a good man, a leader.. I remember playing Red dead 1 thinking that dutch has always been nothing but a psychopath, but rdr2 added so much depth to this character I thought I knew
