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

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

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.
