Arthur Finally Confronts Strauss | Red Dead Redemption 2 | Blind Reaction and Playthrough [19] 

Poor John suffering in prison while Arthur is too busy trying to rescue pigs.

2:06:32 Javier's singing alone this time and no one's around him. Take me back to Clemen's Point or Shady Belle when the camp partied and sang their hearts out together. The general state of the camp and the interactions with the camp members is just so sad in Chapter 6. Pain, just pain

"Things can't be heart breaking every single time we play the game" oh my sweet summer child, how I wish that were true 😢

Fun fact of the day: “O’Creagh’s Run” (the lake that the veteran lives by) is actually named after the first voice actor that played uncle (Jonathan Regis Cray), and it was named in remembrance of him after his passing and the developers had to actually cast a second actor for the part.

Arthur's interaction with Londonderry's widow just breaks my heart every time. It is such a well-done moment, and one I don't see people bring up enough when they talk about the best RDR2 moments. That defeated, "I'm sorry, ma'am" from Arthur... ooof

The way Arthur looks at Londonderry's boy gets me every time.

I like how no one tried to stop Arthur from kicking out Strauss, they knew he had to go. Some people defend Strauss cause he robs people "legally" and doesn't directly kill people compared to the rest of the gang. But it's as Dutch said, "I prefer robbing people with a gun than with a handshake, feels more honest." Plus the gang usually robs from rich folks/institutions that have more money than they know what to do with, not desperate families living in poverty who kill themselves to try to pay back the debt.

Notice how the final two debtors are named John and Arthur? I suspect the writers didn't choose the names J. John Weathers and Arthur Londonderry by accident.

"This area is beautiful," Roanoke Ridge depresses the hell out of me, there's just something miserable about the place

"Javier made me cry" (complimentary) "Micah made me cry" (derogatory)

Haven't watched fully yet, but if you haven't already, return to the professors laboratory when you can. And stay around Jack in camp, he may have some dialogue about Cain

You have so much emotional intelligence. You are really good at picking up nuances. It makes watching worth it. And love your earrings

“Arthur’s dead.” “I know.” Thinking about that from a... different perspective, that’s even more of a depressing line, because our Arthur is dying, and he knows that, and the old Arthur is already dead, and all the broken man that is left can do is to try to pick up the pieces

Oh boy, what Javier is singing in spanish at 2:06:25 it's saying: "Angel of love, I don't comprehend your passion. If I comprehend it, I cannot convey. I will hide your languid groan, there, in the grave, so I can rest. I don't feel that you've ever wanted me. I don't feel that you've ever loved me. I only feel (lament) that you've changed me for another man, more inferior than me." The song was expressing Arthur's feelings, my heart.

I was just wondering if you would upload today and lo and behold! Excited to watch another episode of Red Dead Depression 2!

It’s a good day when you upload 😇 congrats on 10k Sara we love youuu 💕

I never get tired of these reactions

This has been my number 1 entertainment for the past few weeks

The sheer guilt in Arthur’s voice always gets to me. Roger Clark’s performance is second to none and it’s rumored he’s gonna be in the next God of War and I really hope that’s true.

You can't shoot Micah but when I was on missions with him I used to throw sticks of dynamite at him and fail the mission just for my own satisfaction.

1:54:45 I hear when the boy comes outside reminds Arthur of his son before he was shot

Before I watch another video from this absolute gem of a series, I wanna congratulate you on 10k subs! You deserve way more and I'm sure it'll come your way soon enough. Been following you all the way since TLOU Part II and I'll continue to watch you play the games I love for the foreseeable future. You've quickly grown to become my favourite gaming channel, thank you for giving us authentic and all around great content. Or should I say, your content gives me a good dose of Saratonin. No? Okay, I'll walk myself out

I loved how you just put Granger away in that duel like you’ve had enough of his shit (pun intended.) I’ve enjoyed watching your play through of my favorite game, and I can’t wait to see you reach the conclusion. Keep killing it, Rey!

2:03:15 "Ain't no way hes (Dutch ) gonna hide away in a Cave somewhere. It will go against everything he stands for. It would be admitting that we are no more than low down criminals. "

these side quests are amazing they really add to Arthur.

33:10 If you have finished Albert Mason’s missions before that mission with Charles Châtenay , you would have found a big photo of Arthur in the art gallery

10k, now thats something, keep up girl, you are pretty much the only one that I watch for almost 3 hours straight and dont get bored lol, I am glad I found someone who is this invested in this story

seriously these RDR uploads are the #1 thing i look forward to nowadays lol

the story of this game needs an Oscar

“I’m not looking for forgiveness, I don’t want your forgiveness, just let me atone for what I have done” not his quote but I just like it

“They’re pretty close, touching knees 👀” yea Sara I think when Arthur said “they don’t like groups of men around here, may want to go north or over seas” he was implying that they were gay and may wanna go to some place a little more tolerant than the folks around there lol

In hindsight, I never thought of it before, but when Arthur goes to collect the money from Londonderry and he sees the boy and looks away - he may be thinking of Isaac and Eliza and how he's the bastard come to take a few dollars. But, at least he proves himself a better man. In spite of what he says all the time.

Keep an eye out for another Mary-Beth talk a lot of people miss it but it’s really emotional

"I love rats" 5 seconds later 58:55 oh the humanity

Yeay sara uploadss! Greetings from Malaysia 👋🏻🇲🇾

“Gavin!!!” “No fucking way.” 😁 Underrated moment I LOL’d

I've played this game three times and never bumped in to the Black & White duo again. So cool to see they got along in the end. I always wondered about them!

This is one of the best Red Dead playthroughs that I've seen. It's nice to see how immersed you are with the story and characters. Can't wait for more episodes. (watch out for spoilers!)

You should definitely look into streaming and playing live with chat your personality is so sweet and your content is so entertaining Also congrats for 10k it just gonna get bigger for sure

Loving how often you are putting out videos and the quality of your work, keep up the amazing work and greets from Amsterdam.

You have to love that no one questioned Arthur when he kicked him out.

Never clicked on a video faster! Thank you for another video♥️

Congrats on 10k, Sara! I love those side quests in chapter VI. Trully beautiful. Still I kind of forgot how great the acting was in John J. Weathers' mission. The internal struggle of Arthur is absolutely fascinating to watch. It almost feels like he is more angry at himself for the doubts that raise in his mind rather than at difficulties of the job at hand. I mean Arthur surely projects his rage at Weathers but it doesn't really come from his unwillingness to pay the debt. Arthur is afraid that his increasing softness renders him unable to provide for his 'family'. As Strauss says his commitment to duty is admirable. But his true emotions prevail. Because let's not forget Strauss was probably a great source of income for the entire camp. Surely it wasn't moral but none of them really were. Bunch of outlaws romanticized by Duth's talk. The only difference being they didn't aim directly at desperate and vulnerable and didn't shy away from the dirty part of work as opposed to Strauss. Strauss on the other hand was probably more detached than evil. Throwing him out of camp is certainly an interesting matter. I don't think it comes from Arthur's aquired rightousness. I believe it is more of his old angry nature that comes to play here. Which again makes him more human rather than some sort of unmistakable moral compass and newly made role model. Great character. One of the greatest I know.

Omg I'm so excited for this! Only yesterday I realised that you've come back to RU-vid and to rdr2 and I've been binging all the videos since. I've written some comments on a few of the other older videos now but in case you don't see them, congrats on 10k! Welcome back and I'm glad you're doing a bit better now. This game got through some of the darkest times in my life when it was first released and it's become my favourite game since (currently on my 7th playthrough). I'm really glad to see that this game has been helping you in the same way and I'm especially looking forward to this video because this chapter was the one that made this more than a game for me. It changed my life for the better and still helps me now when the depression comes back like last month. So it's just amazing to see you playing this now and that it's helping you and helping me again. Anyway I hope you enjoy the rest of this experience, it's one you'll never forget! 😄 Be well and stay safe Sara. Thank you

I'm so glad I found your channel. Your videos are the highlight of my day! Best red dead 2 series ever, and I love your personality!

To be honest I never had an issue with Strauss, out of everyone of the camp he is the lesser of evils present. At least he never killed anyone while the rest of the gang left a mountain of corpses in their wake. Many of which being innocent lawmen just doing their jobs and good citizens just seeking to protect their fellow man. They for some reason view killing as more dignified somehow, I fail to see the logic there. Don't forget that Arthur was a willing participant and its not like Strauss wanted Arthur to contract tuberculosis.

10:21 What a great moment! The sun, the horse, Arthur and your voice. Its almost gorgeous!

Congrats on 10k! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Congratulations on 10 thousand subscribers

I don't know if you can get it at this point in the game, but earlier on there are scenarios in camp where Micah insults Charles/Javier, and they knock him on his ass. So satisfying,

No, thank you for putting your heart content we can all truly enjoy watching. And sharing with us your personal struggles that we can relate to in our lives. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌

You’ve still got a hell of a journey left, enjoy.. loving your reactions so far ❤️

i am finally caught up with the series and congrats on 10k

Arthur confronting Strauss was one of the most collest thing in the game!

For some reason I feel the need to cheer when seeing that you uploaded for rdr2

New to your channel. Love it! Genuine & funny. Subbed.

It's cool that just after you dropped off Biscuits mom at Emerald Ranch, you did the Albert Mason mission that has the same horse in it. I think it has been patched, but sometimes Biscuit was still alive when that random event appeared and you could take the horse for yourself. The Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Foxtrotter is fast and excellent in gunfights. With a bit of patience you can also catch and tame it after the Albert Mason mission. Love your playthrough, we cry with you every step of the way.

Sara: just trying to enjoy some nice music Micah: We don't do that here

Please, my girl, Don't disappear, please😭

Just a tip on the your health and dead eye cores. When you eat food and drink something to fill up stamina health and dead eye you are actually filling up your cores. When your core is filled up it will regenerate your health, stamina and dead eye faster (the bar around health, stamina and dead eye icons). But if its empty or it is red the outside bars wont regenerate. In order to quickly fill up the outside bars you actually need to take potions like snake oil or chew cocaine gum to fill up the outside of the cores quickly so you have something you can readily use even if your cores are low.

There's a story about the dog if you keep hanging around the camp. The kid and Micah will talk about it.

I've never seen you smile so much!!! I'm glad. :)

Love the content, just hopped over to congratulate on the 10K mark and btw i’m following you ever since the Detroit Became Human meme Vids, hope your humor didn’t change, and as always i’ll leave now and come back later because, well i love watching your videos smoking with stars on my face, soo see you tonight.

I'm not an emotional person in the slightest but Dutch makes me tear up a bit because I know exactly how he feels.

You can still see Marjorie's show in Saint Denis with Bertram and Magnifico.

Rat man making you emotional? An omen that the end times truly are upon us and I'm not ready...

Poor Jimmy must wonder why she must get hurled off a cliff or crash into a rock to receive a carrot. She's probably thinking 'can't we just skip the painful part this time Sara'. lol.

Congrats on 10K Sara!

That silver dapple pinto is only available at the Blackwater stable but there is a glitch to get it after Albert Mason’s mission early as chapter 2. 3rd best horse in the game after BUELL and the Turkoman. And yes you can get the Turkoman early from the chapter 3 mission “Horse flesh for dinner” which is another coat only available at the Blackwater stable. Both horses are purchasable at the start of chapter 4 just different coats. The MFT is at the Dewberry Creek stable and the Turkoman is at the Saint Denis stable

Guys please remind her to go to the nun in Saint Denis We don't want her to miss THAT scene.

Congrats on 10k subs! Oh, and I'm pretty sure the 'kill the rats in the bar' misson is a reference/easter egg to Bully/canis canem edit, another game made by rockstar in which during a misson you have to kill some rats (And it's a fun game that I do recommended playing if you have not)

Maturing is realizing that Strauss was no worse than anyone else in the gang.

Dead eye is the chewing tobacco. So funny how you ran through town knocking ppl over.

Fishing tip: go to settings and you can actually change it to just holding the square button to reel. Also, when you need dead eye, eat big game meat for your core and then drink snake oil or use chewing tobacco and it’ll give you a gold ring around the dead eye core. Also, if you have Netflix, look up and watch the series called Longmire. It’s kind of similar to RDR except it’s in modern time, set in Wyoming and you will definitely fall in love with so many characters. I can’t recommend it enough. You will love it. And that message from Sean was great. “The joy is back in your life again.”

People always say negative things about Strauss. They blame him for Arthur's fate, some say he was as bad (if not worse) than Micah. But the thing is... He was just doing what he was "hired" for by the gang. And he was loyal to the end. Almost every member of the gang was a killer. But Strauss? He was simply doing his job. He was using gangs money to make a profit, so that was Dutch's idea from the start. Morally speaking, Its still better than robbing random people and killing +50 innocent souls in the process, right? ALSO, keep in mind all of those poor people knew EXACTLY what they were doing taking money from a gang of criminals... Even if they were desperate, they were all grown ups after all. They knew the consequences. Its not like Strauss was laying to those people. They knew they were dealing with a gang of killers. It wasn't a charity. And also you have to remember that real banks already existed at that point in time! So a lot of those people could take a loan from a bank, but they decided that they would have a better chance taking money from a bunch of criminals than a bank. They knew they probably won't be able to pay it back. You can't run away from a bank, but MAYBE you can run away from a bunch of low life criminals if you are lucky. They might end up in jail or dead after all. They took the gamble cause they didn't want to deal banks. I know they were desperate. But they still knew the risk. Same could be applied in todays world, right? Even if you are desperate and you REALLY need money, You HAVE to realize that if you take money from a gang / mafia, it probably won't end nicely if you won't pay it back on time. Thats why I felt sorry for Strauss. He truly had no idea why Arhur was mad. And he's treated worse than every other killer in the gang even tho statistically, he was responsible for less death than any other member of the gang. AND he probably helped a lot of people as well, we just don't see it in the game.

Congrats on 10k!!

Did you notice Javier’s guitar disappearing at 2:09:09

1:23:10 "Who in their right mind would antagonise her?", then proceeds to walk all over her flower bed

"Heyo" We will be there in every step

52:15 "why am i doing this?" because you have a heart of gold, i slaughtered those little piggies because they all had perfect pelts and i needed them for camp lol Emmet actually normally throws knives at you, but you started lighting him up so fast it canceled him drawing them and he just ran at you, i've never seen that happen lol during the quick draw you don't have to fill the meter, the more you fill it the more time you have while aiming but the longer you take to fill it the closer they get to drawing on you first. just balance filling the meter as much as you can while still drawing as soon as you can. you can initiate a quickdraw at any time, not just in duels, by lightly pressing in R2. And that pure look of joy when Arthur kicked Strauss out of the camp and again when Javier was playing music, that is why i come here, not to see you cry, just wanted to clarify that 😁

If u haven't heard or found it yet - there's a "secret" mission inside St. Denis. Another serial killer (I hope no one spoiled the twist before) You have to find 5 bloody writings on the walls, somewhere inside St.Denis. They will form a huge pentagram showing you the location of the next murder. If u don't know where to start: - I remember one of them was somewhere near the trapper - Another one was somewhere near a bar, on a wall in one of the main streets - Another one was near the train tracks, next to the shop near the docks

Honestly this the only game that's made me cry😢. Props to Rockstar Games for this masterpiece 🙌🏼🏆

ayeee congrats on ten thousand!

Cool thing is, if you have low honor then the Edith Downes missions don't appear.

“There’s 10,000 of us neeerds 🤓 wooow.” Lmao I loved hearing that 😂😍

29:57 the SILVER DAPPLE in front of you!

39:22 Arthur Morgan. Outlaw. Cowboy. Ally.

3:50 Wow when I started the episode I dont expect that. That is so cool. Now we need a video from Christopher Judge (voice of Kratos) or Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) hahah

38:20 Mr: White (Black) and Mr. Black (White) are the best friends I ever found in a game! I LOVE it!

You can move the camera while Arthur is in the bath.

I hope you went and visited her as john we will see

That cameo was awesome also nice earrings

True, so sad and so good game at the same way! Some kind it is like this song ... Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey! And that mission with Strauss ... from there to the end, every players not even think to play to lower they honor points! Everyone try to be best good and helpful Arthur Morgan can ever be! ;-)

If you want to meet Mr White and Mr Black again, I don't think the game ever tells you unless you stumble across them. There's one last place you can encounter them and complete their side story. It's at a treehouse north of Strawberry, near a farm. Can't remember the exact name, sorry, but I'm sure it was North-West of some water.

Strongly recommend L.A. Noire, it's another wonderful game with a beautiful story from Rockstar games. 😊

Damn, i remember that pike! Really huge pain for fingers)) Glad to see your emotions and Sean) Fuck Micah

23:50 you passes a silver dappled foxtrotter. If you have a horse reviver you can heal the horse! The silver dapple foxtrotter is the best horse you can get in the whole game!

I'm still hesitant to do my second playthrough...I don't want to cry lol.

Personally, when I played the game, I did Strauss's collection missions *before* helping Edith. In the scene with Mrs. Lundonderry, I gave her money, and I think it's one of the most important scenes in the entire game for Arthur's character development. It was when Arthur realized just exactly what he had done to the Downes' family, how much anguish and suffering and grief he caused them. The Lundonderry's are in almost the same situation as the Downes, and giving them money was Arthur making up to the Downes and choosing to do something different than what he did in the same situation previously. Don't see Arthur's TB as all doom and gloom, see it as a opportunity for Arthur to be a better man and make the world a better place. It's a gift, to know your time is coming.

Yes i love youre videos it's a good day when you upload i khnow they tel you all that but me and you haved a little conversation about this game i told you you well cry alot all the best for you pls upload us pls ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
