    I think you need to also understand Arthur it’s more of a woodsman than a classy outlaw.
    Dutch kind of puts on the front, but in reality they’re all just living in tents in the woods. So Arthur’s stature, fashion, and hygiene all stem more from canonically being on the road/trail for weeks and weeks and less townhopping

      ironically I think hes less knowledgeable about being an outdoorsman than the average person was back then.
      first off hes a thief, so he can just buy or steal his food when he wanted to. he also isn't as well versed in outdoorsing as we think if he needs to be told that fish and berries attracts bears and hunts rabbits with shotguns. nor could he shoot a bow (which tbf prob wasnt common either), essentially is worse at fishing than everyone else he fishes with, and just isnt generally focused on hunting and outdoorsing when theres already people around him that do that.
      I think his work ethic is more in line of a blue collar worker who would just buy food and only hunt when necessary than somone who actively goes out in the wilderness all day (hes already drained from being enforcer in every criminal activity, hes not gonna spend the other half of his day walking in the woods)

      ​@@datguy8468 I think that's an interesting take with a lot of truth to it. The hunting mechanics give off the wrong idea about Arthur's prowess as a hunter. While we're given the ability to use different baits and craft various ointments, in-universe, I imagine he isn't well-versed in these areas unlike maybe a Hosea. Who hands him a crafted tonic early on & and tells him it's better than "that stuff he gets from the stores", to paraphrase and guides us in the bear hunting where he makes a snide remark on Arthur's style of shooting rabbits with a shotgun.
      He probably only knows as much as he does because of the gang's lifestyle based on Dutch's affinity and life philosophy of living a free life in the wilderness and fighting for a savage utopia. Which might've naturally led to his bulkier build as well since he goes out for resources and does chores like wood chopping to maintain camp. Otherwise, he might've just stuck to town hopping and been thinner (as Mary says he was) like other outlaws of the time if Dutch hadn't took him under his wing.

      ​@@datguy8468 Yeah, while I occasionally sport him such a look when I'm out for days outside of towns or camp grinding hunting challenges/quests, I'm generally not very partial to Arthur looking some homeless 1800s hippie with a big, unkempt beard and wearing animal hats and trinkets. I prefer him looking like a simple blue-collar working man with outlaw-y coats, vests, boots. Which is one reason I'm disappointed the more stereotypically western outfits were sort of lacking compared to the first game and the focus seemed more on the crafted hunting garments/sets that make Arthur look ridiculous walking around towns and even at camp.

    There is some inaccuracy in Arthur's "gunslinger outfits." Like his hat being made from leather which would be uncommon due to leather being a material that conducts heat and hats were usually made from cotton or some other fabric that wouldn't conduct as much heat since most working class people worked in the sun and didn't want to get hot. And his shirt being a full button down style would have been seen mostly in Europe, most shirts in 1890s America were half button down/pullovers style, aside from that Arthur's clothing is pretty accurate

    You have to keep in mind, during this time period, everyone in cities, and townsfolk wore clean hats, suits, and were business men. So for Dutch’s gang to stroll through wearing coats, and rugged shirts, and holsters. It’s the equivalent to how gangsters wear tracksuits, and hoodies in today’s society.

    A note on Arthur's formal outfits:
    When Arthur wears a tuxedo it would actually be almost a faux pas, because the tuxedo was considered a semi-fornal suit at the time (the name tuxedo didn't come into use until the 1900s). The socially expected outfit for a formal evening dinner/ball/party - especially one hosted by a prominent figure - would be black shoes with spats, black trousers, a white shirt with starched cuffs and bib, a low-cut waistcoat, a high starched collar (separate to the shirt, as it would be buttoned on), a white bowtie, and a tophat. Gloves and a cane would be common accessories but not mandatory

    One note I would say in terms of weapons is the addition of schofield. While it was a bit more uncommon it was still prominent in the west. So it wouldn’t be too unusual if Arthur had one.
    John W Hardin used one for many years before ending up in prison and after becoming a lawyer post prison he traded the schofield for a pair of colt lightnings

    to put it short, Arthur Morgan is a character and the main playable protagonist of the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. A high-ranking member of the Van der Linde gang, Arthur must deal with the decline of the Wild West while attempting to survive against government forces and other adversaries in a fictionalized representation of the American frontier. He is portrayed by Roger Clark through performance capture. Rockstar Games decided to focus Red Dead Redemption 2 on one character, in order to follow him more personally. They felt this was more appropriate for the narrative structure of a Western. Clark wanted to play Arthur in a manner that was complex enough for the player to choose any path and still have the character make sense. He took inspiration from actors such as Toshiro Mifune, John Wayne, and Rob Wiethoff, who played John Marston in the game and its predecessor.
    Arthur has received acclaim from critics, with his complexity and path to redemption most frequently the subject of praise. Reviewers also lauded him for bringing the world and other characters to life, and ranked him among the most iconic video game characters. For his work, Clark accrued numerous nominations and was awarded Best Performance at the Game Awards.

    The heights in rdr2 are all over the place. In many cutscene’s different angles make characters have different heights from shot to shot however we can confirm Dutch is 6’0 or Rockstar wanted it to be that way because Benjamin Byron Davis told how Dutch had to be shorten because in real life Davis Is 6’6. So they had a second actor for mo-cap who was 6’0. He was used in the trolley and other missions. Dutch constantly seems to be taller than Arthur so I’d say he’s about 5’11 or 5’10 which is more likely for the time but still taller than most.

    In terms of dueling, the days weren't really that chaotic either. Just imagine it as you would imagine today. Most people wouldn't kill another person through out their lifetime, I think hunting was a lot more common though, so that would be the time when they shoot their guns. They also ABSOLUTELY wouldn't have the ammo to train! Ammo was real expensive, and buying ammo was hardly worth the price, even for hunting. So gun wielding experience was hard to come by.

    I would say that your breakdown of Arthur Morgan, when comparing with historical accuracy of that time-period, is pretty spot on, given my own research of how times were back then and what life was like.
    There is one area that I will disagree on, and that is Arthur's size. You say he is supposed to be 180lbs, but from my estimation, based on his wider build, I would say he is probably more around 230lbs - 250lbs, especially if you get him up to weight level 6.5 - 7.5, which to be honest I wish they'd actually given us pounds when showing Arthur's weight in the general stats area, instead of what they did.
    If you want another character to review, and I do not know if you've already covered him as I am new to your channel, but I would reccomend John Marston, seeing as you cover Arthur Morgan here, covering john next seems very appropriate.

    Yall ain't to believe this, but I was so excited to play RDR2 watching only the thumbnail that almost I immediatly started the game with the Steam Launcher and all. In the minute 3:05 , I heard the shotgun load (For the Rockstar Games loading icon) and when this video showed the title "Skills" it triggered.

    Arthur Morgan is sort of based off of Jesse James in the Sundance kid. If he kinda looked at it in a way 2 and another thing is I forgot who John Marston is kind of based off of but Jack if. I'm correct his story matches up with all of them because the Maker outlaw sometimes they would have to lose their parents or they would have to run away from. Orphanages orphanage.

    Brother if you want your mind blown about red dead 2 and Arthur being historically accurate look up the story of gunslinger “Sam bass”
    His life story is word for word almost exactly what happens in red dead 2 I’m almost 100 percent positive it’s based on Sam bass or they took alot of inspiration from Sam bass’s story. He was an orphan adopted by a gang, turned outlaw after failing to be a rancher, (cowpoke) and one of the gang members turned rat and guess for who? THE PINKERTON DETECTIVE AGENCY! Look it up, it will blow your mind, his story also takes place in Texas which is close to where the rdr2 story is, you can see cities like “Amarillo” and “new Austin” on the map. Sam bass died in round rock, a town about 30 minutes maybe less outside of Austin Texas… it’ll blow your mind, I’m telling you. Anyone who’s a red dead 2 fan, check out the story of Sam bass here on RUclips

    Only noteworthy things about Arthur’s outfit that are wrong are his hat being leather, though this can be forgiven considering its a memoir. His shirt being having full buttons is inaccurate, these shirts did exist at the time but they were only popular and widely utilized in Europe at the time. Americans might have them at the time, but only rich ones and they’d be more likely to be in a suit or any other high class outfit. Lastly, his holster didn’t exist at the time. Holsters by the turn of the century were bulkier and had a full frame that went all the way up to the trigger ring, Arthur’s is smaller and more akin to later holsters invented in the 1920’s.

    I was reading somewhere recently about tuberculosis and how in real life it's nowhere near as lethal as it seems to be in the game. Doc Holliday was diagnosed with it in his early twenties and died at 36 years old, for example. Also many people either didn't even get properly sick or recovered naturally (antibiotics hadn't been invented yet) and then just lived normally. Realistically Arthur could have survived for many years with TB, but his dying so quickly could be plausible because of the the physical traumas he goes through after getting infected-camping in a swamp for extended periods, being tortured, surviving a tram crash, surviving a boat crash, starvation, sleeping on a pile of rocks in a jungle, being tortured again, constant gun and knife injuries, extreme psychological stress, being bashed by a coward.
    Even so, dying of tuberculosis within only a few months of being infected is very unusual and Arthur most probably died of the physical injuries he suffers just before, with the TB only having weakened him to the point that he was unable to push through. He likely died with TB instead of dying from TB, similarly to how someone dies with AIDS because it weakens them so that a simple cold or a minor cut is lethal, as a opposed to dying from AIDS which implies that AIDS killed them directly.
    Anyway, I loved the video-I really enjoy discussions about how plausible things in entertainment media are, despite some people going "it's just a movie, it doesn't have to be realistic." Recognising whether something is or isn't realistic does not detract from my enjoyment of the media if it is made with care and internal consistency, it's just fun to compare with reality.

    • @dukemeiser19

    Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. Arthur was constantly riding horse, doing heavy labor choses in camp. Hauling carcasses of man and critters and beating the tar out of the toughest men the west ever spat out. I think at 6'1" he would weigh closer to 220 with very little fat unless he was dining on beef, bison and bear that week. You get fat in your gut by drinking beer and eating bread and potatoes. Arthur was usually snacking on dried meat and whatever ended up in pearsons pot
