If they played around with the part where he gave her additional bills, that could actually be striking. Like high honor Arthur is going above and beyond.

Low honor actually goes hard, i like that he's not an asshole, just not as sweet talking

u/Own_Ad5814 Aug 20 '24
I played it low honour, not dick low honour randomly murdering and killing strangers just general outlaw low honour. I thought his end was far more fitting too. Bullet to the head and left in the rain seemed way more like the death of a gunslinger than staring into the sunrise going out relatively peacefully and content

When I did that fight with Micah, and he won and shot you in the face, I legit clutched the controller and yelled something to the effect of "motherf*****!"
I then replayed it, beat Micah ass and sat at that ledge and died peacefully.

I mean, he kills you anyway. It’s just that instead of shooting you he just lets you slowly die

u/ILawI1898 Aug 22 '24
I think that couples along with the beauty of Arthur’s story. Despite his exact role as a “gunslinger”, he explains to fans of the prospect that he “isn’t really” one. He shoots people in the back, isn’t interested in fame, and treats fortune more as something more tangible rather than a grand treasure over an outlaw’s years. All that other stuff? Bunk.
It’s one of my favorite bits about Arthur that makes him a really well rounded character. He’s not just a bounty hunter, explorer, herbalist, or gunslinger, he’s Arthur Morgan, and he died just like his story leads, wherever it lands.

Me: I've played this through 4 times, I'll be ok.
Arthur: MRS. ADLER....
Me: I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok.....
Arthur: RIDE WITH ME.
Me: *I was not, in fact, ok*

Forever high honor Arthur! I took the 'redemption' part literally, and for all the bad things he did I tried to do what I considered honorable where I could.
Giving him a sunset death broke me, but I think the low honor death would have destroyed me.
I won't be able to replay the game in a very long time, I never ever cried because of a video game, until red dead redemption 2.

high honor, going for money was damn too underrated. man got ocean of adrenaline rush when the low honor sound and the song started to play together.
Arthur was badass the whole run back to the camp.
"I rise to the top..." shit that was crazy

Oh wow this some detailing level. Is there a source for these alternative dialogues for different honor levels?

yeah theres multiple instances where other characters have different dialogues/actions with low or high honor arthur. Its a big reason why many players have a high honor and a low honor run-through

During the train bridge job with John, Arthur speaks of the camp money as if he's planning a heist, instead of providing for John's family.

Sokka-Haiku by maketurch:

Of low honor Arthur
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

That's how canonically Arthur used to be, before getting tuberculosis because that's when he started to rethink his life choices.

u/Tamer9 Aug 22 '24
I’m sorry but Arthur before TB would embrace Tilly in that moment; not be aloof and dismissive. The high honour cutscenes are way more realistic and canon IMO.

u/ghost_of_Theweb Aug 23 '24
The high honor events are canon only AFTER the TB event, but before that Arthur had still the mindset of an outlaw and a murder, but again that was before his redemption ark

I didn’t know there were multiple endings via the honor system in my first play through, so low honor was how it went down for me. I still love the dialogue Arthur has in these scenes

Just be friendly to everyone in passing. Somehow, this alone will just make you some kind of paragon.
Meanwhile, every gang member that crosses us gets a closed casket funeral, assuming they can identify the body.

u/BootsofEvil Aug 21 '24
Don’t even have to be friendly to anyone. My first run Arthur was a right bastard to all of humanity, but I ended the game in high honor because I took great care of my horse.

Sometimes I'd punch my horse after it left me today die at the hands of a mountain lion.

I've never had a game actually make me feel emotional it would always be a pseudo motivation after a clearly not going to happen thing like the Eiffel Tower falling on MW3 for 360. Then I played the end of RDR2 and I legitimately felt sad. My character was dying. The horse I had been with through 90% of the game goes down and Arthur thanks them. Half the gang betrays you and the flashbacks coupled with the music just hit me so hard.

I’ve been wondering if I could bottom out my honor and then make it all up on a big fishing trip by throwing back fish.
“Yeah, you had a $5000 dollar bounty in every state for robbing and killing and barfighting… but you surely did fish just for sport.
You’re a good man, Arthur Morgan.”

Same, I prefer it over the high honor. RDR1 gives me high honor vibes more. John just wants to go home and be with his family

Is there a different ending if Arthur chooses to get the money at the end rather than helping John? I helped John in my first/only full play through and was curious how different it would be for John if Arthur didn't help him.

u/Notverysmartcreature Aug 20 '24
Yes, he gets the money and cures his tuberculosis then lives a peaceful life with Mary.

There’s 2 different deaths for Arthur if you go for the money. Low honor Arthur gets stabbed to death by Micah and High Honor Arthur cuts out Micah’s eye and dies of his illness under the sun light

u/Remarkable-Dig9782 Aug 20 '24
Either way between plays you really forget how well written this game is, both the story line and the characterization is excellent. I really don't see myself getting tired of this game but I am really looking forward to the next step in the series

I recently just finished my first play through….i played a very grey game, my typical play style, and got a Low Honor Ending (Micha and a bullet)….recked me for several days….I desperately want to start the game over to get the high honor dialogues and ending….but I need to complete the last epilogue and have a grieving period I think…

What I like about low honor is that he isn't a complete asshole, he's just colder. He still cares about the gang but he's more blunt, not as warm.

I'm so glad I started another playthrough, though I'm a long way off this existential stuff. Psyched though. On reflection, you see the cracks in the gang's dynamics from the very get go.
I'm always high honor. Can't seem to bring myself to go low.

Follow me here - but what if you played through the game and you’re neither high nor low honor? I’ve playing the first time through in years and just started Ch. 6. Each choice I’ve made has been just how I felt in the moment. My Arthur is neither good nor bad, he is a creation of his own choices.
2
u/Aiti_mh Aug 20 '24
There is positive and negative honour. Game mechanic. Even if you do whatever you feel like each time and don't care to aim for high or low, your Arthur will still be somewhere on the spectrum. There is no avoiding that.

u/Lachybomb Aug 20 '24
Is your Arthur picture on the honor meter a human or a skeleton? If he's a skeleton, it's considered low honor and if he's a human, it's considered high honor. If you are right near the middle and make good and bad choices equally, you would probably switch between the two very often, and get a mix of high honor and low honor cutscenes depending on your honor level when you trigger them.

low honor arthur understands everything and explains things bluntly
high honor arthur understands everything and also empathizes with people and shows more emotion
