He definitely regretted it. He thought Kieran was going to be disposable fun. Someone to get his rocks off and discard. Then he saw everyone accepting him, and saw him growing in the camp and his mistake became clear to him. Not that he learned anything. Bill doesn't do learning very well.
@@ozozlmao That wasn't Bill that shot John, was a man left of Bill. Actually I think the only time in the game where Bill does try to shoot John, is right before his own death. Killed by Reyes.
@@chrisbetts4605 No? I don't remember such a thing ever being stated in game. Bill just tried but it didn't work out, due too Kieran having an obvious crush on Mary-Beth and Bill lacking any type of social skills, on account of his probably low IQ, which MAY be the result of his childhood. I think he mentioned his father being an alcoholic at the camp fire once. Having a childhood where you have nobody to give you attention and love you can explain his low IQ and lack of social skills. I know this seems like a lie but I know of a boy who is already ten yet doesn't know how to read or write because his parents are egoistical people who rather drive 100 kms to buy some expensive cake, despite having a low income, instead of spending time with their children.
Kieran is really well acted and animated, all the little mannerisms like the way he quickly wipes the beer rim before handing it back to bill is really cool
@@pookiebenny7819well kieran mentioned it himself if arthur let him go kieran would die anyway and prolly in the same brutal way because colm would be furious
It wasn't left unfinished. Life, especially in the West, is brutal and unpredictable, and after the show of force at the manor his death drove it perfectly through how vulnerable the gang still remained against all their enemies.
@@SkippyMcdanglenuts Ye fr no joke there's a document u can find in camp revealing why Bill was discharged from the army and if so happens that one of the reasons was homosexuality
@John Browning There were only two ways out of that situation. If he refused to join they were not just going to let him go. He was a witness to their crimes. He watched them kill people and make plans to rob banks. He was tortured by them. They starved him for information. If they let him go he could tell the police or the O'Driscolls where they were hiding. And why wouldn't he? If anyone was tortured and then released they wouldn't just say "Thank you for being nice to me while you had me stood up on my legs for days on end, pissing on myself and shitting myself, and now you have let me go!" Of course they would go to the police or their friends. The only options were join or he had to die. Or keep him imprisoned forever, but that would be a waste of food and time. So yes he was forced. If he didn't join they would have killed him.
Kieran is the outcast of the gang and Bill is often the punching and laughing bag of the gang. I think that's the reason why Bill from time to time tries to act nice to kieran
I feel like Kieran's death had an unspoken effect on the gang, not so much as Hosea and Lenny, but still. He wasn't with the gang long, but he tried hard to earn his keep. He saves Arthur's life, and I think slowly he could have warmed up to Bill, made him not feel so lonely, at the least they could have been friends, and maybe Bill would have chosen a different side....
I think when Kieran died was the moment Bill's chance of joining Arthur's side was gone. Kieran would've joined Arthur and Bill would know Kieran is doing what's right and would've helped Arthur too.
Based off of what Steven J Palmer (Bill’s actor) said, I think Bill really was lonely and seeing as Kieran was a new member, he wanted to have some sort of connection in the gang without any hostility. He just didn’t know how to. He was in a gang full of rough boys for so long, even Lenny was rough, in spite of himself. And here comes along a man who’s soft and strange and I think Bill knows what it’s like to feel part of something but not entirely accepted just like Kieran, so he wants to be that acceptance, but he has no clue how to go about it. THAT’S MY TAKE PLS DONT COME AFTER ME ;-;
Bill is confirmed gay as there’s a letter of a dishonorable discharge from the military for deviancy. Also fun fact: bill ain’t his real name it’s Marion.
I'd like to think in the scenes prior bill didnt understand his draw to kieran and it came out in the form of bullying to have some fun cos he enjoys Kieran reactions, but now that hes realized those actions scare the object of his affection hes trying to pacify and show that he means no harm.. but bill is honestly so awkward, the hotheaded aggression and intimidation is definitely just to compensate for being socially awkward lol
It looks like bill realised that he went too far with the second attempt at gelding and now Kieran fears him and isn’t willing to talk to him if he isn’t being threatened into doing so
Knowing the time period they were in when you consider Bill's "preferences" and Bill's family history of hereditary dementia, its no wonder he became an utterly messed up man by RDR1
Some people are saying Bill has a crush on Kieran. But personally, I think Bill was just lonely and tried to befriend Kieran because he was one of the only people that never bullys him. He acts similar with Lenny sometimes.
Tbh, good chance he's gay and all that but I think you're right. I think he was sort of taken under the wings of the gang members who'd been there longer than him when he joined, and now he wants to do the same, but he has -2 social skills
Bill's interactions with Keiran are like that one tumblr post where OP had a childhood crush and didn't know what to do about it so the handed their crush a note that said "get out of my school"
bill just needs help expressing himself in a way that isnt threatening, i genuinely feel like if he knew how to be nice then other people would like him
Well, John and Arthur seem certain, but Bill says at a campfire that he just wants to be appresciated and not being called stupid. And Arthur and John LOVE to laugh at the stupid
I love how Kieran is more respectful than almost anyone in the camp, I miss him every day that poor boy.
He was my favorite character;-;
