I swear I was just surprised at first too. and even when i killed the italian mafia boss i only got 60 dollars but i was surprised how this beggar got so much money.
@@nicktechnubyte1184 It's the intimidation factor that counts, he stands no realistic chance of winning but it reinforces how much balls he has. Also we know that he knows Arthur will die anyways so he wins in the long run. He sees a bullet in Arthur's future because only a person with low honor would attack him. Low Honor Arthur gets shot by Micah.
This NPC is legit blind because if you point a gun at him without antagonizing he won’t react like all others. There’s another guy that claims to be blind but if you point a gun at him then he reacts and gives away his cover
For 5 years of playing this masterpiece I didn't expect this blind old man would fight back physically at you, let alone knowing where you are by insult 😂😂😂😂
never mind him fighting back - I didnt expect to get over $200 from him if you loot him! how many times does this guy respawn again for me to visit this cash machine on a more regular basis!?
>"I see a bullet in your future" >Attacks Arthur with a dagger He was never trying to win, he was just trying to sharpen Arthur's skills. Truly one of the characters of all time.
@@louaimamdouh7639 So? What, you want the devs to put an extra line of code just to make the blind man actually blind and completely unable to dodge attacks in the off chance a player decides to be a dick and pick a fight against someone weaker than them and disabled, like a school bully?
He's obviously still blind, he can hear where Arthur is, Arthur makes a lot of grunting sounds lmao Edit: I started a youtube comments argument. He dodged ONE punch, by simply lunging backwards, even blind that's possible, second punch he got instantly knocked out.
@@Poisondart1329 Yeah? Even if you're not blind and therefore not used to relying on other things than your sight, it's really not that hard to feel something coming straight for your face. Just close your eyes and have someone you trust do punch around your head and tell me you seriously don't feel them coming.
I know a few totally blind people and they can tell where you are with unnerving accuracy. Arthur wears spurs which jingle with every step, is toting a gun belt which will also make noise, he's shouting and he's rushing about in grass. It'll pretty obvious where he is. Plus Cassidy knows who Arthur is, how he feels, who he hangs with, what he gets up to and what his future holds so chasing Arthur down and knifing him is no big deal.
You ever look into the research on "blind sight"? Think of it as the biological function of the eyes and the perceptual apparatus still working, but the part in your brain that connects that to your language and... like... "image" formation systems is broken. So it's along the lines that the eyes and your body still sees things, but you don't consciously know it because that connection in the brain is broke. But seeing is still happening.
I choose to believe he is still actually blind but he can see the future so he knows you're going to hit him. It's like being able to see through the player's eyes.
You’re actin like they should’ve built a whole new AI set for this one dude. Fuck yeah copy and paste the AI, have you seen how fuckin big this game is?
Sometimes a blind man encounter spawns a fake blind man that is not actually blind. You can check if they are blind or not by pointing a gun at them, if they really are blind they will not react
Realistically that fight was probably accurate he could tell where Arthur was standing based on him shouting insults and Arthur grunted as he swung so the blind man probably just pulled back hoping to not get hit
Well since the game is before automated machines that’s entirely possible. but moonshine can only make you go blind if it isn’t distilled properly. which is pretty common if the people making it are usually hillbillies with cholera 😂
@@Albert_EGGsker moonshine, by definition, is illegally made alcohol (and hence is associated with bad quality alcohol) - the reason why it's named like that is because illegal alcohol was often made with only the moon light as a source of light.
One time I talked to him, went to steal a horse, died doing so. Tried to do it all over again, so talked to him again and he warned me not to steal a horse. Dont remember what exactly he said, but it was exactly in line with the previous stealing fail
“I see a bullet in your future you sunnuvabitch” “Enjoy today, you’re going to hate tomorrow” Blind man just casually dropping the coldest back to back lines in history 😭
This man was surrounded by a magic aura to me, despite the game is hyper realistic every time I encountered him I always saluted him with respect… see him like this is making me reconsider lol
@@Sheamcdonnell not the same. Definitely not same. As the blind man, he feels differences like that even better. Also, if he is some far eastern monk or something, he can be a black belt warrior, and hear the sound of grass while you make a step...
any time i see a blind person in this game i do a test where i aim a gun at them, and if they flinch they're a liar and get fed to a gator. this guy was legit.
"I see a bullet in your future." For those who don't know, this is the bad ending for Arthur if he helps John escape and then gets shot in the face by Micah
@@iminyourcity4001 lol no. He said *a* bullet. Not bullets. John was shot from all sides. Also, this is Arthur, so why would he tell Arthur John's future?
this has been the longest running joke, it became an easter egg. like, the devs put that there, so they expected you to insult the blind man. but no one ever did, but finally we hit gold. we basically, after years, finally got to hear the punchline of the joke
I like to think he's like Paul Atreides, blind but with the future wrapped so tightly around him that he knows exactly what to do. Also, that dude has $200?? Is that each time? Like if you hogtie him and loot him, then find him later will he again have that much?
Man the blind man was so kind I would give as much as I could I kinda wish he stayed in better environment like Saint Denis the law would also be a lot more stricter so no npc would mess with him
My theory is that the old man was probably a famous gang leader or gunslinger and when he went blind he decided to help people this video shows he still knows how to fight even with his blindness. In the next game we should see a backstory to this character
I have a blind friend who is also a karate master. I think he could end pretty much everyone in the comments pretty easily. You don't have to be able to see someone to beat them into a pulp O:
