The game’s climax reveals which gang members took Arthur’s side and which didn’t. Interestingly, one keen-eyed player observed a pattern among the Van Der Linde gang members and their affinity towards Arthur Morgan. Reddit user Some_Gas_1337 shared a series of images that shows the deceased members of the gang. Notably, these are also the people who sided with Arthur on regular occasions and ultimately met their demise in the course ofRed Dead Redemption 2.

Naturally, the post received widespread appreciation on Reddit, as seen by nearly 2,700 upvotes and hundreds of comments. Many users mentioned memorable quotes from the characters mentioned above. Meanwhile, others debated how theevents ofRed Dead Redemption 2would’ve turned out if Hosea survived until chapter 6. One Redditor named MVT3600 commented, “If Hosea hadn’t died they would’ve never been in the late Chapter 6 situation.”
Among the six deceased Van Der Linde gang members mentioned above, Hosea Mathews arguably had the most intimate relationship with Arthur Morgan. Arthur viewed Hosea as an inspirational figure and respected his authority within the group. Moreover, they both had spent several years together, and they often considered each other as family. Naturally, Hosea’s presence during the final chapter ofRed Dead Redemption 2would’ve made a dramatic difference to Arthur’s fate. Some fans are urging Rockstar to focus more on thebackstory of Hosea and Dutch inRed Dead Redemption 3.
