We consider the ending of Red Dead Redemption 2. It is something. There are excellent endings in video games, and then there’s the ending to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Arthur Morgan’s final journey and eventual passing are some of the most emotional moments in video game history. When our hero loses his battle with illness but manages to give John Marston a chance for a better life, it’s truly moving.
I was convinced that Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to be remembered as one of the best games ever.
But what if Arthur didn’t die? That’s the question the creator of Red Dead Redemption: Arthur’s Redemption is asking. It’s a question I’m not sure many of us wanted answered, but I’m glad to see someone exploring it.
“Arthur’s story doesn’t end in chapter six,” says the mod’s creator. “He’s healthy again, and you can go on a new adventure with him and what’s left of the gang. Places like Blackwater, Tall Trees, Great Plains, and New Austin are all open for Arthur to explore.”
The main idea of this mod is to let you play through much of the game’s ending as Arthur Morgan, which is pretty neat. It also adds some fun extras, like new camps for you to live in with the remaining gang members. Of course, characters like Lenny, Micah, and Dutch are no longer around.
In short, if you’ve ever wished for a world where Arthur didn’t get sick and could save the gang, this mod is for you. No need to replay chapter two over and over just to feel something.
