@@karthikcv8104You can kind of piece together Dutch’s mind set with those cut scenes at camp. Ultimately it seems like Dutch is living in a fantasy. He wants to believe that he and his gang are righteous and the world of evil and MUST be fought. Thats why anyone expresses concern over any of the robbing and killing they’ve done, or refers to the gang as criminals, Dutch gets angry. Because in his mind they’re the oppressed ones and they have to stay and fight. He never wanted to run. He was never concerned about anyone’s safety. This is the only way he can maintain control, by keeping everyone in a state of needing him to be the leader because he has a “plan”. Dutch has a number of things going on overall, but the well being of his camp and truly escaping to a place they could live out their days in peace was never in his “plan”. That was just a promise to string people along.
@@residentfan1521 Nah Dutch was always like that, they were never going to tahiti no matter how much money they made, he loved that kind of life too much, that was fine when everything was going smoothly for them, but when it became clear that the old West was dying and there was no place for them in the new world that replaced it, he was in denial, and became more angry and more violent, constantly trying to justify his crimes against innocent people until his victims became those that he claimed he cared about.
@@nctsgrassHe was alright once he started losing options to stay strong he became undone • Arthur getting sick • Hosea death • sean Lenny and Duffy dying didn’t make any of it easier but it allowed a one man to take control micah bell
Dutch was so convinced that John was the rat, he was like 99% sure. He also suspected that Arthur was also kind of a rat because he was so close to John.
If this was a mafia family he would need to 100% be sure of John being a rat. Otherwise he would lose respect from people under him like Arthur, Charles and Sadie. He should’ve broken him out even if he was 99% sure just to keep everyone loyal to him.

Probably because of Arthur, he knew Micah could probably frame him and kill him and still have Dutch rub his balls until the events of RDR1 if he left, seeing as Arthur would die in a different way to the game, or maybe because Arthur wouldn’t wanna go because Sadie wouldn’t wanna go?

The F*CKED up transition from heated argument to "welp see you" is the biggest flaw of this entire game. If Dutch didn't trust me I wouldn't keep feeding his flock. John and Arthur can both fend for themselves without the camp.
It's not the only flaw, the Blackwater money is another one. By midway through chapter 4 it slowly becomes a flaw. They are desperate for money the Blackwater heist they hid the money but they also completed the heist. The pinkertons are on their trail, yet they send a huge smoke signal saying here we are by the time they decide to rob the Bank in Saint Dennis. If they went to Blackwater to collect the money from the ferry job they have the money they need but if they do that Red Dead Redemption won't happen. It's also used as a tool to get John money he needs for the epilogue. My opinion keep the ferry job but write the story where they didn't manage to be able to get the money from the ferry job.
Arthur doesn't usually say this in Chapter 6. Maybe the uploader used some mods but in vanilla game Arthur sounds way more depressed and says "guess i should get back to it." The happy "okay i'll catch you later then" is pretty much never said again as soon as you find out about the TB.
@josephkawak362 It gets better Blackwater is to dangerous but picking a fight with the army isn't. Originally they were going to get on the train in Saint Dennis. While sneaking into Blackwater only having to dig up a grave was to dangerous.
A lot of people debate over Dutch’s actions, so here’s my theory: Dutch used to be the man that the gang thinks he is. But one of the main themes of the game is “civilization” encroaching on the free Wild West that the gang used to run and roam. Over time, the law and the Pinkertons became more and more of a force against the gang, and Blackwater was the climax of this and the closest they had ever come to being caught. That’s when Dutch started to unravel; he started to feel like a cornered animal and started to truly fear a future noose around his neck. He grew attached to Micah because Micah’s a yes man; Micah would just tell Dutch what he wanted to hear and that’s what Dutch thought he needed during those stressful times. Dutch’s hubris is his pride, but I think the catalyst for his villain arc is being suffocated by the encroaching law.
Well yeah he’s a 1899 Jim Jones. He thrives off of the loyalty of the people who follow him, money and power. He likely never was what he claimed to be. His ego just became more prominent because after the Blackwater massacre his mask fell off. The game hides a lot of details to prove that he was running a shtick the whole time even before Blackwater happened.
@@ThatsThing1 a lot of people would dispute that though; like you’ll hear people talk about how Dutch hit his head and that’s why he turned. Or that he was a horrible person the whole time and just hiding it.
@@JITCompilation he was always a manipulative cult leader. It just took being chased for that long, and having every attempt of them making a go of it blowing up in their faces, to make him so ragged and hateful. He was manipulative all the way back in his speech at Colter in the prologue. He wanted to keep living the lie that they were still relevant as outlaws in a rapidly modernizing West. John and Arthur could see the writing on the walls that their time as a gang was up, and Dutch hated them for it. They "gave up" as far as he's concerned.
Could be because Arthur and John started questioning him the most, or doubting as Dutch saw it Micah however always sucked up to Dutch and was his yes man
Problem with that is Micah was the only one who did not disobey Dutch.the only reason Dutch didn't trust Arthur and John was because they were disobeying Dutch. 1.Dutch thought John was a traitor since he was the only one captured alive during Saint Denis bank while Hosea and Lenny died on spot.Dutch plan was to prove if John was a traitor or not by waiting to see if John was going to be hanged or not.Arthur went against Dutch and rescued John which only raised even more suspicion about John being a traitor. In the end,Dutch was not a good man but you can't say he was an egoistic leader since he wanted the whole gang to escape and if we are real,the tahiti plan would never work even if they got there because they are a gang of killers who can't do anything else than robbing people. It is childish just to blame Dutch or Micah when Arthur in chapter 6 is a clear traitor to the gang.
@@gamestriker4538 Dutch was an egotist from the very start. He didn't care who followed him, he only cared about who blindly obeyed him without questioning his leadership. It's fair to blame Dutch and Micah because even if they weren't "traitors" to the gang, they actively dug them deeper into the grave by making them fight for a cause that was already lost. That and the fact Micah has been ratting them to the Pinkertons since they left Guarma. It's childish to call Arthur a traitor because almost everything he did was out of loyalty for the gang and he wanted to make sure as much members made it out alive. He betrayed Dutch, but he was loyal to the gang till the end.
"I reckon that's just Micah getting in his head." Oh, Arthur. Even I wish that was true. But we all must face reality. We must face the fact that, with or without Micah, Dutch was always unhinged ever since the Blackwater Massacre. Micah just helped Dutch awaken his true self after killing Heidi McCourt. We can deny it all we want. But Dutch was always about himself even before he and Micah went crazy in Blackwater. No matter what, Dutch would rather see his own family suffer and die than swallow his pride. And, with or without Micah, the Van der Linde Gang were slowly becoming the new Colm O'Driscoll Gang. Dutch's hubris is not that different from the ego of Walter White from Breaking Bad.
Nah it's just when hosea was dead there was nothing to make him face reality, micah just told dutch what he wanted to hear and eventually dutch become the new colm in the end.
In the end, Dutch is one of those people that we hate in the real world: killers, thieves, degenerates and narcissit people with no regrets. I quiestion myself if people show more about themselfs in the desperate situations, or when they are with the people they love the most?
Hold up, this is the variation of the conversation that plays only when Arthur is far away. How did you manage to get this recording? Normally if you are near them, Dutch will call you out too instead of saying that he planned to leave John. Maybe a glitch hahai
Could actually be using a cheat table. His game is clearly modded if you look at John. Big ang beefcake. But chances are he turned on a setting in that mod table that has everyone ignore him. That's an actual thing.
@@demonkingzeldris8835definetely using some sort of cheat or mod that alters camp encounters and dialogue because arthur talks like its still chapter 2-4. Like he says "Okay, I'll catch you later then!" with a happy tone but in chapter 6 he goes "ok... I guess I'll see you later, then..." with a sadder tone.
The hopelessness of the last camp is PALPABLE. That everyone can hear the man they've been so devoted to just straight up losing it like this is so sad.
"How did the Pinkertons know about the bank job in Saint Denis, John?" Ummm... because we killed Bronte, which in turn attracted the police, who then contacted the Pinkertons? And it's not like we traveled far after they found the first Lemoyne camp. Should've fled the state entirely.
"I don't know Dutch maybe it was the heist aboard that casino barge on the river that tipped them off, or perhaps the prolonged shoot with the police we had at the trolley station, or just maybe it was our all-out assault on the home of the richest man in Saint Denis."
People don't change they just show who they truly are and I know beaver hollow was the gang's low point I think Dutch acted like a Messiah so people would die for him and the only person who saw through this was uncle
While Dutch *did* realized and accepted his wrong in the end, (Going up that mountain to kill Micah) It was already far too late. He already lost the people that were true to him. Hosea, Arthur, John, hell even Molly.
Micah Bell, the Machiavellian, most definitely had Dutch's ear and got into his head. Micah was an outlaw for life, while Dutch was pretending to be leading his gang out West in order to establish a settlement beyond the long arm of the law, Dutch ended up leading them around like he's the pied piper taking them places like a swamp, a cave on the wrong side of the hills with the step being off a cliff to their deaths just like how the Chelonian Master led his followers before his own suicide. Dutch charmed and exploited everybody like how he did Arthur. But Micah exploited Dutch and everything else under the sun. Micah was a truly toxic cutthroat- that's why the last mission is called American Venom, and you'll always see a random rat run out of the shed before the final face-off. Dutch was just as much as a rat as Micah, and just as much of a snake. Dutch was a charmer, but Micah was the snake charmer.
I still don’t understand if Micah was turned after Guarma how the Pinkertons knew about the bank in Saint Denis. Hell, how did they know about the boat job in black water?
the gang killed that Itailain guy which alerted the law. It likely got to the Pinkertons. You get the mission right after. The Pinkertons/lawmen were likely on high alert of you and the gang after killing that man. They probably heard Hosea's diversion and put 2 and 2 together. Thats my guess. Keep in mind the chaos in Blackwater, Valentine, Rhodes which would have likely put the bank in St. Denis on high alert.
'Howd they know about the bank?' maybe raising hell in every way possible through the country would lead them to believe the bank in SD would be an eventual target??
He says he was trying to get John killed and very clearly left them to die multiple times, but they still followed his plan for some reason. It really shows the amount of trust they had in him.
I'm actually fully convinced it was Abigail, who learned all the plans from John and told the Pinkertons every time. The second train robbery even says in the paper the sheriff had been tipped off.
Micah was only with them for months, while Arthur and John grew up with them. How come Dutch doubted John and Arthur's loyalty when he basically raised them along with Hosea. He came unhinged when Hosea died.
You know if you think about it Michael and John have very similar stories john is forced to work with the pinkertons if he wants to see his family and Michael is forced to work with the FIB if he wants to keep him and his family safe and depending on your ending for 5 they both die at the end
See, I'm someone who played RDR2 and didn't know about the story of RDR1, so when I heard of Dutch's perspective I thought about it and actually did come to think that John and Abigail might've back stabbed him. I wasn't 100% sure, but it did make kinda sense to me in that moment. What really was convincing is how Abigail wasn't caught and how they opened fire on all and John, they chose to arrest.
I swearrrr how was Micah able to swindle this man so much? He is either incredibly mentally unwell(my theory) or he’s freaking HEAD OVER HEELS FOR MICAH LOL(also my theory LOL)
i like how dutch decided to side with the guy he met in a bar half a year ago instead of the dude who is practically his non-biological son, having been close for decades

"I reckon that's just Micah getting in his head."
Oh, Arthur. Even I wish that was true. But we all must face reality. We must face the fact that, with or without Micah, Dutch was always unhinged ever since the Blackwater Massacre. Micah just helped Dutch awaken his true self after killing Heidi McCourt. We can deny it all we want. But Dutch was always about himself even before he and Micah went crazy in Blackwater. No matter what, Dutch would rather see his own family suffer and die than swallow his pride. And, with or without Micah, the Van der Linde Gang were slowly becoming the new Colm O'Driscoll Gang. Dutch's hubris is not that different from the ego of Walter White from Breaking Bad.
Micah was the one who pushed the blackwater massacre, though.
Nah it's just when hosea was dead there was nothing to make him face reality, micah just told dutch what he wanted to hear and eventually dutch become the new colm in the end.
In the end, Dutch is one of those people that we hate in the real world: killers, thieves, degenerates and narcissit people with no regrets. I quiestion myself if people show more about themselfs in the desperate situations, or when they are with the people they love the most?
Dutch made a lot of horrendous decisions on his own, but it was definitely Micah which made him turn against his friends and family.
@KeyUploads WW never turned against his family. Skyler is the true villain.
Dutch: I told them to let you rot in jail!
Also Dutch: John how could you betray me?
The last few chapters I always stay away from camp, starts feeling less like a safe haven and more like a viper's nest
Hold up, this is the variation of the conversation that plays only when Arthur is far away. How did you manage to get this recording? Normally if you are near them, Dutch will call you out too instead of saying that he planned to leave John. Maybe a glitch hahai
Could actually be using a cheat table. His game is clearly modded if you look at John. Big ang beefcake. But chances are he turned on a setting in that mod table that has everyone ignore him. That's an actual thing.
Goddamn SNAKES!!!
@@demonkingzeldris8835 ah I see, thanks
@@demonkingzeldris8835definetely using some sort of cheat or mod that alters camp encounters and dialogue because arthur talks like its still chapter 2-4. Like he says "Okay, I'll catch you later then!" with a happy tone but in chapter 6 he goes "ok... I guess I'll see you later, then..." with a sadder tone.
Yes for sure on his other videos he got mine craft characters running around in rdr2
I think John might be the only member to raised his voice at Dutch
Arthur and maybe Uncle too
Hosea as well
@@dramallama5088definitely Hosea.
Hosea:👁👄👁 arthur:👁👄👁 molly:👁👄👁
You forgot Molly
And meanwhile Joe watching the gossip.
Is it just me, or does John look buff asf 💀
Idk but it would make sense.
Yes he looks. Maybe thank to a mod ( as his hat, gunbelt... are modded, not the ones he had at this time)
Yes because that’s npc John’s head on John’s epilogue model (Arthur’s body)
@@nightmarepegasus4141it’s npc John’s head on epilogue John’s model which is basically Arthur’s model
@@BeatleHarrison ok, tks
Joe is like: "Not my problem"
Joe: 👁👄👁
man, his own son… it’s heart breaking to see what Dutch became.
The hopelessness of the last camp is PALPABLE. That everyone can hear the man they've been so devoted to just straight up losing it like this is so sad.
After an intense conversation with Dutch Arthur says a casual "Ok, I'll catch ya later then" and I love it lmao🤣
Dutch’s voice actor is phenomenal in this scene
Dutch going full King Lear.
Joe standing there like 🚬👁️👄👁️
I love how Joe is just randomly standing there behind John.
Probably on stand by to keep any fight from breaking out.
Joe: I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still... That I have become invisible to the eye...
"Okay I'll catch you later then (tally-hoo!)"
I hope this video will get views it deserves, it explains a lot and this camp conversation is really important for game's story in general.
Chapter 6 is so depressing, especially the camp. It’s so sad and weird with half the gang being gone and the other half is fighting each other.
And Uncle, Pearson and Karen hitting the booze at 8am
Skip to 0:32 to see the newspaper prop change. The rifle ad vanishes and is replaced by an article.
"How did the Pinkertons know about the bank job in Saint Denis, John?"
Ummm... because we killed Bronte, which in turn attracted the police, who then contacted the Pinkertons? And it's not like we traveled far after they found the first Lemoyne camp. Should've fled the state entirely.
"I don't know Dutch maybe it was the heist aboard that casino barge on the river that tipped them off, or perhaps the prolonged shoot with the police we had at the trolley station, or just maybe it was our all-out assault on the home of the richest man in Saint Denis."
@@danielcooper3332 It's comical how delusional Dutch is, but after Hosea's death and Arthur's diagnosis, nothing was funny anymore.
The trolley station incident surely caught the Pinkerton's attention. No way a massacre in the city would be linked to Dutch that hard.
Dutch : boy I wonder why John and Arthur aren’t blindly loyal to me and question some of my plans
And still there are people that are like "bu-but Dutch was good before 🥵 👉🏼👈🏼"
Dutch was always a jerk and a wanna be king
And you're like "bu bu but Im so intelligent and everyone else is a bi bi big idiot"😂😂😂
@@joedwyer3297 gonna cry lil blud?
@@eru.maewos7673 great comeback🤣
Yeah
People don't change they just show who they truly are and I know beaver hollow was the gang's low point I think Dutch acted like a Messiah so people would die for him and the only person who saw through this was uncle
1:08 hardcore projection
I KNOW IT 😡
Okay ill catch you later then 🤠🤠
And the antagonize option is greyed out, because Arthur knows better than to add fuel to the fire
John sounded very hurt when he said “after all these years”
Fantastic voice acting
While Dutch *did* realized and accepted his wrong in the end, (Going up that mountain to kill Micah) It was already far too late. He already lost the people that were true to him. Hosea, Arthur, John, hell even Molly.
Micah Bell, the Machiavellian, most definitely had Dutch's ear and got into his head. Micah was an outlaw for life, while Dutch was pretending to be leading his gang out West in order to establish a settlement beyond the long arm of the law, Dutch ended up leading them around like he's the pied piper taking them places like a swamp, a cave on the wrong side of the hills with the step being off a cliff to their deaths just like how the Chelonian Master led his followers before his own suicide. Dutch charmed and exploited everybody like how he did Arthur. But Micah exploited Dutch and everything else under the sun. Micah was a truly toxic cutthroat- that's why the last mission is called American Venom, and you'll always see a random rat run out of the shed before the final face-off. Dutch was just as much as a rat as Micah, and just as much of a snake. Dutch was a charmer, but Micah was the snake charmer.
Crazy how John and Arthur are Dutch’s adopted sons yet he still sides with Micah simply because he tells him what he wants to hear
“OK I’ll catch you later then” 😂 every time 😅
I still don’t understand if Micah was turned after Guarma how the Pinkertons knew about the bank in Saint Denis. Hell, how did they know about the boat job in black water?
the gang killed that Itailain guy which alerted the law. It likely got to the Pinkertons. You get the mission right after.
The Pinkertons/lawmen were likely on high alert of you and the gang after killing that man. They probably heard Hosea's diversion and put 2 and 2 together. Thats my guess.
Keep in mind the chaos in Blackwater, Valentine, Rhodes which would have likely put the bank in St. Denis on high alert.
@@GamingWithJazz what hosea diversion?
@@deadroses19The explosion before everyone went into the bank
uhh idk maybe because a few days back a massacre happened in the city and the owner of the city died?
'Howd they know about the bank?' maybe raising hell in every way possible through the country would lead them to believe the bank in SD would be an eventual target??
"This is Micahs doing, I know it!!! 😠😠😠😠"
"Ok I'll catch you later then 😊😊😊😊"
"DUTCH, YOU DON'T UNDERST- okaay, catch you latah then."
Dutch: How you two fooled me, all these years!
Arthur: This is Micah's doing, i know it!
Also Arthur: Okay, I'll catch you later then...🤠
Good ol TBI from that trolly messed Dutch up.
John was dumb for not leaving after this
'I DID NAAAAAAT! Oh hi, Mark'
same energy.
I never heard this version i always heard that where dutch says "OH AND HERES THE OTHER ONE I RAISED YOU AS SONS? GODDAMN SNAKES!" instead
I love how John looked like he was the director of the game, sitting on his chair, taking a break while reading the newspaper
“You are losing it Dutch” Arthur is so real for that
I really wish that John gradually got his iconic outfit. Like with each passing chapter he gets closer to completing it.
Just the casual "catch you later then" after such a serious talking to xD
“It’s *Micah!* Okay, catch you later then.” Best non sequitur in gaming.
“Welp, I’ll leave ya to it”
He says he was trying to get John killed and very clearly left them to die multiple times, but they still followed his plan for some reason. It really shows the amount of trust they had in him.
Hold on why is john so swole💀💀💀
Arthur goes from speaking in capital letters to “okay, I’ll catch you later then”
arguably benjamin byron davis’ best dialogue as dutch in the whole game is a missable interaction in camp, this game is unreal lol
There's so many conversations I missed. Awesome 👌🏾
This....This is so sad
I like to believe that Dutch never intended to rescue Arthur either when Colm captured him. Its Dutch's nature, whatever is best for Dutch.
I'm actually fully convinced it was Abigail, who learned all the plans from John and told the Pinkertons every time. The second train robbery even says in the paper the sheriff had been tipped off.
Micah was only with them for months, while Arthur and John grew up with them. How come Dutch doubted John and Arthur's loyalty when he basically raised them along with Hosea. He came unhinged when Hosea died.
He truly believed John was the rat when Micah who the gang doesnt even like is right there
The dismissals get me every time 😂
I’ve never seen this. This actually breaks my heart.
I love how Arthur follows Dutch just to tell him off.
12 years later, it was actually Dutch who went totally insane
You know if you think about it Michael and John have very similar stories john is forced to work with the pinkertons if he wants to see his family and Michael is forced to work with the FIB if he wants to keep him and his family safe and depending on your ending for 5 they both die at the end
Now Dutch is being a baby and blaming someone else about their problems lol
Arthur: {Intensity that you could cut with a knife} *This was Micah's doin,' I KNOW IT!*
Arthur: {2 seconds later} Okay, I'll catch you later then.
I love arthurs like ''THIS IS MICAHS DOING I KNOW IT'' then ''ok ill catch you later then'' lol
How can someone so strong minded be so weak minded at the same time😂
See, I'm someone who played RDR2 and didn't know about the story of RDR1, so when I heard of Dutch's perspective I thought about it and actually did come to think that John and Abigail might've back stabbed him. I wasn't 100% sure, but it did make kinda sense to me in that moment. What really was convincing is how Abigail wasn't caught and how they opened fire on all and John, they chose to arrest.
“This is Micah’s doing, I know it!”😡👿
“Okay I’ll catch you later then.”😁👋
"This is Mica's doing, I know it 😠😤 Ok, I'll catch you later then 🤠"
Even joe was like "damn dutch chill"
Okay I’ll catch you later then
Totally ruined the realism🤣
I swearrrr how was Micah able to swindle this man so much? He is either incredibly mentally unwell(my theory) or he’s freaking HEAD OVER HEELS FOR MICAH LOL(also my theory LOL)
Micah was a yes man.
Arthur started doubting Dutch (rightly so) and Arthur got sick so Dutch probably looked at him as damaged goods.
Arthur always leaves even the most stark confrontations on a positive note.
I hope when they remaster rdr 1 they add new voice lines about Arthur
Joe just casually examining Dutch yelling at John💀
I forgot that he straight up just tells him to his face that he was gonna let him hang. I thought that it was just inferred and John figured it out.
i like how dutch decided to side with the guy he met in a bar half a year ago instead of the dude who is practically his non-biological son, having been close for decades
