Red Dead Redemption 2 - Arthur Kicks Out Herr Straus From Camp (Arthur Gets Mad) RDR2 2018 

Strauss only ever put a single carrot in the box during my play through.

That "I'm sorry ma'am" was so genuine. Damn Arthur is such an amazing protagonist.

"This mission gives you max honor." take this to true ending.

God I kept wishing for an ending where Arthur would've coughed in Micah's face just like one last kick in the balls before he went...

"You need the money I don't." >$35,460.29

I can understand why, but I still kind of liked Strauss. He only sent Arthur because not only did he trust Arthur, but he knew that Arthur could get the job done while he could not. Strauss genuinely thought they were friends. Even when he was caught by Pinkertons, he never squealed and died without uttering a word, man was loyal.

After you complete the game, the papers say he dies in interrogation. He never said a word though. L O Y A L T Y

If it werent for the sickness, arthur woulda decimated micah

Him walking up in front of the cabin with the widow and the child is a parallel to the Downes cabin. Back at Downes’, he took the money and left them in a desperate situation. And he’s clearly told “Don’t kid yourself, you had a choice.” Now the situation repeats itself, he’s again faced with a cabin with a widow and her son and this time he can make the right choice. The husband’s name was Arthur and he died, this is both a parallel to Arthur literally dying and also an imagery of Arthur’s old self finally dying. He may have started changing before, but standing in front of that cabin again is the moment he changed completely.

Well its because Of strauss That he got tuberculosis

Even though strauss would loan money to families unable to play off the debt he didn’t rat on the gang after he was kicked out

Well at least arthur didn't get lumbago

Ya know... I think Arthur Morgan may be rockstar's best protagonist. Goddamn ... Edit: holy shit guys thanks for the likes and comments!

I like how nobody questioned his choice to kick Strauss out

“I’m sorry, ma’am. I really am...” Damn Arthur hit me right in the feels :(

I ended up missing this mission so Strauss just vanished and nobody said shit lol

Wow. How does Rockstar do it. Arthur was crafted so amazingly. It was sad to see him go. This game is a masterpiece.

4:10 My parents after i've finished school. Edit 2 Years later: Okay, i forgot this comment and saw how many likes and comments has this got, cool xD thx guys!

This scene really shows how much Arthur changes and becomes a decent man.

3:12 the face and voice that Arthur makes saddens men, he feels repentance about all his mistakes he made and he knows that his time has come, this game is a just wonderful from gameplay to story telling.

0:23 *“OUTA THE DAMN WAY!”* *“hey partner..”* *“Howdy!”*

Straus lended money to the desperate. Arthur just got tired of loan sharking good ppl. I always declined any offers or offered money to them

People that say that “Strauss made Arthur sick” need to realize that Arthur is responsible for his own actions. Arthur made Arthur sick when he beat a sick man for money. That’s the whole point of him getting TB, it’s poetic justice for what he did.

Strauss: I'm Arthur: Leaving ROASTED!!

Towards the end, Arthur rubbed off on Strauss in a good way because in the epilogue, Charles said that Strauss was interrogated but never said a thing.

Thing is he was still loyal,Strauss in John's story he was captured by agents and he got killed in torture,but he didnt say a word about Vanderlinde boys

Arthur’s honor went 📈 when Strauss left

Even though this mission is secondary, to me THIS is the point where Arthur realizes how broken he is. I was tearing up at 3:12 because I could hear the pain in Morgan's voice; he's not apologizing only to her, but to everyone he has ever harm. Goddamn it, what a great fucking game.

4:51 that great boost to Arthur's honor though, jeez

4:10 My dad after I just got my driver's license

Arthur could've gone about this in another way. Despite what Arthur said in this scene, he clearly cared about Strauss deeply despite how people are choosing to interpret this scene. Arthur's actions toward Strauss was partly out of his love for him despite how disgusted he became in the end. Arthur spared him because, he wanted to give him a chance to change. Just like how he had been given a chance to change for the better.

Strauss is legitimately deserving of this. He may not be as flashy or direct as some others, but he loans far more than regular people could ever hope to repay in the time frame he prepares. And he sends Arthur, and probably others, out to collect for him. People who have no compunctions whatsoever about being violent and hurting people. He preys on desperation and puts them in far worse situations than they were in before.

When he says “I’m sorry ma’am, I really am.” With tears in his eyes I have tears too every time. Rockstar did brilliantly with Arthur.

4:52 The good honor sound effect just sounds so beautiful.

Wow. I shed a tear watching Arthur's expression when he apologized to the lady the first time.. And watching it again made me cry again, this game is so powerful, really. Arthur Morgan is probably the most human character in vg history, and I don't mean human like someone good, but actually as someone who makes mistakes, takes bad decisions and lives with regret. Rockstar really did a good job.

"I'm--" "--Leavin'." This is still one of my many favorite lines from this game. Arthur getting the literal last word is so goddamn good for closing out the "Herr Morgan" story. People who didn't get the good honor sequences in chapter 6 are criminal.

I wish they gave us the option not to beat that guy up so Arthur wouldn’t have gotten infected

OUTTA THE DAMN WAY

I like how the Foreman seems like a prick, but the moment Arthur tries chewing him out for his lax attitude toward his worker's plight, he immediately and without hesitation shuts him down with "Hey, I ain't the god forsaken money lender!"

When Arthur sees the little boy, I think that changes his whole outlook. He already felt bad when he confronted the widow, but was still going to try to do his job and get what he could from them. The boy was the straw that broke the camel's back, when he decided he couldn't do this anymore, and that he was tired of being the man that he was. That was the moment, I think, that Arthur killed the monster that was inside of him. Helping the Downes was enough to push him to the line, but this is the moment when he crossed it.

I think the most haunting part of this particular mission is how the one he's collecting from is also named Arthur, which as he keeps searching for the man only to find out what happened, can constantly be a reminder of himself, like he's hunting himself in the end.

The sadness in Arthur’s voice when he says sorry just shows how much he actually is sorry

Arthur genuinely felt sad for that family, look at his face in 3:12

4:09 I like how javier uncle and bill just stand there and watch Arthur just kick Struass out lol

3:11 You can really tell how much Arthur regrets everything

"I prefer robbery to usury, seems more dignified somehow."- Dutch

Easily my favorite cut scene in the game. This was Arthurs Character arc and seeing him kick Straus out the camp made me scream with joy.

"I am sorry ma'am...i really am..."damn the feels

I absolutely love Arthur for the kindness he has. He may do bad things, but hes a really nice guy!

Even though I started to be a good guy and gave all debtors money and kicked strauss to make Arthur's story a proper redemption story and get the best ending but god did I loved beating people up when lone sharking

Son of a bitch Roger Clark did a amazing job at voice acting Arthur. He definitely deserved that award.

You see, this is when he realized that the stuff the gang fell to was absolutely despicable. Now robbing banks and trains, trying to keep people alive is different then beating the money out of people that need it.

I feel bad for Strauss, he didn't intentionally make Arthur get TB. Although he preyed on the weak with his loans, I still feel like Arthur was a little too harsh on him, they were friends.

Arthur:You And Me ain’t decent. Moments later Arthur gets a ton of honor for kicking Strauss out Arthur:hehehe

Straus is a straight g. I heard his life story and man it’s a sad one it gave me empathy for the guy. Idk if he has the same outcome for every game but later in the campaign he’s brought up again n it shows straus wasn’t a punk.

i wish you could shoot stauss it was his fault he got tuberculosis

3:38 Video Footage of your parents when you turn 18

I like how much of the Darkness and redemption is in the debt collection missions. I beat a man into a lethal attack of his tuberculosis, catching it myself. I shot a man to death in front of his son (granted he tried to kill me, but it still felt sick), but on that last one you can see that Arthur has been moving forward, at least if you choose right and cultivate honor.

4:39 I like how Arthur just finishes his sentence for him lmfao

3:58 You disgust me... AND YOU SHAME US! Holy fuck, heard Arthur say that was asome

I kinda feel bad for him

I think when arthur went to that last woman and saw her son and her struggling, he realized strauss had gone too far, that and strauss needed to get out of there since shit was gonna hit the fan. But I’m guessing strauss understood maybe not at first but he did. Since when the cops got him he didn’t say a word, and died in prison without ever ratting on his comrades like someone we know.

"OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!" **5 seconds later** "Howdy partner!"

I just think it's interesting that Rockstar Games parent company's CEO is named Strauss. Coincidence? or does he represent the greed that some of these corporate executives have?

I got to the John section before I completed this mission and don't think there is a way to resume it. Cool scene but more gutted I missed the max honor boost Edit: Nearly 150 likes? Hot damn, thanks guys.

1:52 The way arthur realizes Mr. Londonderry had a child... such an amazing performance

Love how everybody just let Strauss get thrown out.

2:09 I cried when I heard that. The pain of starving and just holding out and hoping that something lucky comes along your way; I can empathize with that. I went through that myself before and will never forget the pain.

Such a powerful scene. Immense. Not only for the impeccable writing, but also because the story took time to build the character up to this, so it just hits you on another level.

3:12 damn his face actually made me cry

I really like how u see arthur evolve in the game he starts from being a real jerk but u see him for who he really is, u see his heart

1:22 this scene is better at night, especially after you give her the money back and everything is calm with the crickets in the background

Idk why people call Strauss and his shark loan business disgusting for ruining people's life while they're in a gang of thieves and murderers

I felt Strauss redeemed himself after he died in interrogation not saying anything to the pinkertons

"Arthur's Dead" "I Know ..."

By far the best voice acting since The Last Of Us. Felt so alive.

4:23 "You and me, we ain't decent. But those folk, they was."

4:10 when my parents kicked me out of their home at age 19.

If you think about I think Arthur sees himself and his past in these 2. Keep reading.. the father name was Arthur (like Arthur Morgan..) he lost his son and wife to robbers for 10 bucks.. He wasn't there for them when they needed him the most and now he's doing the same to another family (almost) This is where he's like... ''Fuck Straus''

In terms of story this is the greatest game of all time the story of simple man who knows nothing but loyalty questioning his purpose and the purpose of his family/gang obviously depending on the ending you get be it low honour or high honour Authur Morgan paved the way for John Marston to find redemption whilst finding his own form of redemption brings a tear to my eye thinking upon it every time without fail.

"I don't want an adventure , I want my daddy" This makes me cry so often .And the way the boy says it .

The random antagonizing insults to Strauss at camp was well deserved then

You know despite Strauss being a loan shark, he was loyal to the gang and died without giving up any information on his friends

“Im sorry ma’am… I really am.” Man Roger Clark delivered that line with so much emotion it’s one of the many moments that made Arthur feel like real person. He truly deserved his award

3:12 that quote is such as emotional as "I'm afraid" with the nun. You can feel Arthur regretting all the things he have done to this people because of Strauss.

I'm appreciative that Strauss wasn't *just* a jerk. He made Arthur do evil things to good people, but it was all to help the gang. He even thought Arthur was his friend.

lmao i love how you had like, nearly neutral honor and after you kick strauss out your honor just completely maxes out.

3:11, hearing how upset he is really chokes me up

I Love how Honorable it's Arthur ar the end...

the ones who had money and just absolved the debt without giving the money, are straight up soo cruel bro 💀💀

Damn the foreshadowing “Arthur’s dead” 😔✊🏼

You know they named Arthur Londonderry intentionally just so they could say "ARTHUR'S DEAD!"

3:11 is one of the few moments where Arthur speaks from the heart. The cinematogrpahy with it kills it.

Was Arthur already sick at this point?

4:32 Strauss's face :/.I did feel bad for him in this!!

He kicked out Strauss so he didn't end up like the rest of them, he had a brighter future and Arthur knew that, he didn't kick him out because he didn't like him, he kicked him out because he cared.

I really liked Herr Strauss, it was sad when Arthur kicked him out.

3:18 lol you see how Arthur jumped

For all of His coldness, Strauss showed loyalty like no one would expect of him, Rest in Peace old timer

I feel that they could have done more with Strauss in order to make him seem more ambivalent and sympathetic like the other gang members: A guy who does horrible thing to contribute to the gang's finances, but who also is a loyal friend to his fellow gang members and considers them family and heaps kindness upon them when they are among themselves. E.g. it would have been nice if there had been a few camp scenes of him being a kind ucle to Jack or of him teaching Jack math, or of him relating exciting stories at the camp fire ore singing some nice sounding Austrian folk song etc. And they could have made it more clear that Arthur, and not Strauss bears the main responsibility for Arthur getting TB. E.g. when Strauss sends Arthur off on his debt collecting mission and telling him about the various people who owe the gang money, Strauss could have said something to Arthur, when addressing the case of Thomas Dows, like "...and then there is that fellow Dowes. You should go easy on him, 'cause he is in bad health, so please no unnecessary violence" -> and when Arthur arrives at Dowe's ranch he recognizes him from Valentine and gets angry 'cause he recalls that Dowes got in his way when he was beating up Tommy in front of the Saloon, and thus loses his self-control and needless beats up Dowes. And when he returns to camp to tell Strauss how the debt collecting jobs went he mentions that he was very brutal to Dowes and beat him to a bloody pulp, whereupon Strauss is aghast and says something like "Dear god, why did you do that? The man is sick! We just want our money back. We do not want to make that man's health worse than it is anyway!" And Arthur says something like "Yeah, I just lost it. I had a run-in with the man in Valentine he stepped in and prevented me from finishing a guy who had messed with me in the Saloon...I guess I was just still very angry about that, so when I recognized him I just lost it and needlessly beat the man up 'cause I resented him for daring to get in my way in Valentine...You are right, Leopold, I should have gone easier on him and just given him a few stern looks to intimidate him, so that he would roll up his sleeves to get his act together any pay us back, instead of manhandling him..." Something like that would have made Strauss a more complicated and three-dimensional character IMHO
