Do you guys like it that Rockstar implemented this into the game? Let me know down below!
WhizL yea it feels like ur living inside the game not just playing it
I have The Butcher Creek Quest recorded you can use it for video the Butcher Creek Mystery thing
Hey there man,I personally think that The Buck symbolizes St.Hubertus the Patron Saint of Hunters,He is often depicted in paintings with a Buck or a Deer.Seeing as Arthur(aside from Charles) is the main hunter of the gang and of course Hunting is one of the more important aspects of the game and that Rockstar implemented a lot of Catholic Theology in the 1st game and now in this,From the gang's dog being named "Cain" taken from the story of Cain and Abel,Cain being the sinful brother,The Wolf may symbolize the Evil side of Arthur or the player "Wolves in sheep's clothing".
@@johnkenneth3602 Omg awesome, good to know, thank u for this super comment dude!
WhizL dude I got goosebumps when I saw these bc those moments ARE truly spiritual reflections of us too in a sense, not just Arthur.
Arthur was honestly an amazing video game character
Joseph Green I liked him Waymore than John Marston And I felt really bad when he died When John died I was more mad but when Arthur died it was more Sad Hands-down probably the greatest storyline in history
I freaken loved that guy
Michael Padgett nah listen this game had one of the best stories Iâve ever played but ya have to understand that nothing tops a story like God of War
@@ethandragonborn god of war aint shit but hoes n tricks sucks on these nuts and licks the dicks
Tizona76 Spider-Man had a fantastic story too. Had me in tears at the end. RDR2, God of War, and Spider-Man arenât definitely top 3 for GOTY
Choosing to feed on those around you for survival - Coyote , Villain.
Choosing to live in harmony with those around you - Deer, Hero.
It's pretty simplistic symbolism.
Thats what i was thinkinh
what about the eagle?
Living in harmony with those around you is not the definition of a hero. Besides deers fight all the time.
@@pouyathedestroya9095 But that's what it portrays plus this is a BUCK not a deer. the deer is the female with no horns
@@destroyerx2513 female deer is a "doe"
My honor was low because I'd always bump into people in Saint Denis.
I feel your pain
I clicked đŒ once (PS4) when I wanted get on horse, but I grabbed some guy and robbed him not on purpose :(. I get 120$ to Pay.
Flothir i canât count how many times i accidentally stole a horse it was so annoying đđđ
@@coreyo6256 What's more annoying accidentally stole a horse, or that John can't swim? I don't know
Flothir i actually never needed to swim as non so iâd say horse
I did not get either of these. I got Uncle complaining about how his lumbago was "very serious" while drinking
You were at a level that was above good or bad honor..... I'm amazed how someone could achieve this level of amazingness..... Teach me senpai.
lUmBaGO
â@ripvanwinkle9935 To get this, in Act 1 of Red Dead Literature club, you have to pick all options that aim more towards Uncle. Remember, when writing poems to him, use words like Rum, Whiskey, Sleep, Snore, Complain, and finally Lumbago to apeal the poem to Uncle, in the end of Act 1, Uncle will confess his love for the player, to get this ending, just choose reject, upon rejection, uncle will start drinking and complaining about Lumbago in your sleep, truly, the best psychological horror game, that ending still haunts me to this day...
I feel like this would be a perfect loading screen depending on your honor
Good idea, its very relaxing scenes too, woulda been a nice loading screen
yeah I dont think getting shot by micah is a good thing
That's actually a really good idea! I wish more games would do something like that.
HazzyWasseh nah it wouldnât be the same its suppose to be looking at death
Anyone notice the loading screen has areas you might wanna check out eventually?
I thought I kept seeing the deer because I hunted so many to donate to Pearson.
Lol hilarious
I had faith in Dutch
@@JackieG8991 we all did
I never gave anything to Pearson, I also only upgraded the ammo wagon, nothing else
@@KK-oj2kq I didnt ...when chapter 4 started i stopped
I didn't get a deer or a coyote. I got Gavin in the cutscenes instead
Tristan King So what youâre saying is... you found Gavin?
That got an audible laugh out of me. Nice.
haha. too bad arthur is bad to tell gavin's friend he found gavin.
i got dutch saying he has a plan
I actually met Gavin's friend in tall trees just now, in 1907(I believe?) Man, he looked tired and haggard
May I add, in the end of the game. Depending if you got the bad or good ending. The bad ending shows the wolf eating the deer, I feel like the quote âThereâs a good man inside you, wrestling with a giantâ is another reference to Arthur believing heâs a bad person and solely a killer. If you live like this while playing as Arthur, those thoughts over come him and dominate his real good nature. Thatâs why the wolf is eating the deer, the bad and unhonourable behaviorist just beat the good ones.
When does it ever eat the buck??
@@rayjardiolin5035 1:38
Hkuma Q and itâs the last one you see too...
It's a coyote
That looks like a boar to me
Honourable Arthur is true Arthur
Ay lmao XD? xddd non honourable arthur until TB is real arthur
@@minecrawfygamwer7817 Yes, and no. Read all his journal entries and you will see into the mind of arthur
I feel Arthur is supposed to be an asshole cold killer at the beginning but at the end he's changed to be an honorable man. I like to see it that way.
@@Gary.009 yeah like when you do Strausses missions and read the journal he said he felt like a monster for doing it
Johel Pereira, well the game is called red dead REDEMPTION
I got the wolf Alot in the beginning , then I got the deer in the end , I guess I changed with Arthur throughout my story
It depends on your honor system
I was always in between white and red mostly towards high honor but I always got the wolf
More realistic approach since he's seeking redemption
Same
i always got the deer :D
Good Arthur is the canon version of the game, his good ending seemed more like staying true to the game because it's called red dead redemption and Arthur's redemption was saving John and his family even if micah shoots him he still died knowing that he did what he wanted to do he died getting his redemption narratively it's the canon version for me
imho the ending makes sense with both low and high honor as long as Arthur chooses to help John in the end
You said it yourself Arthur redeemed himself for saving John, Arthur says it a bunch I cannot stress this enough but he is a bad man, red dead 1 John says he WAS a bad man Arthur wanted nothing to do with redeeming himself he saw himself in John towards the end a young guy with a family to take care off it was the slightest bit a good left in him Arthur is evil end of story thereâs nothing around it he is and will always be a bad guy but a good character
Tbh if you go back for the money Micah basically wins because it seems like what he was saying to Dutch about Arthur being a selfish unloyal prick is true
Micah shot you?
That asshole just left me on the hill to die on my own after Dutch walked away.
@@mattmark94 not really the "good" version make more sense
Letâs clear something up: ITâS A COYOTE! When you go to the shack in Bayall Edge, Lemoyne, you can see paintings based on your honor.
High honor: Bucks and eagle
Low honor: Coyote and vultures
Itâs also too small to be a wolf, and a coyote is more logical.
I don't know why people think it's a wolf. The ears are very perky triangle and not dull on the top of the ears. It's small and has a lanky snout contrary to wolves.
@Tobi buck and doe are gendered terms for deer. A buck is a male deer and a doe is a female deer.
@@gavinsfriend5836 have you found gavin??
@@rigel8755 no
Itâs not a big deal nigga
SPOILERS
when you play as John, if you visit Arthurâs grave, the black coyote or the buck will be sitting near it depending on your karma when you played as him, then itâll wander off when you arrive, they are both not scared of you and will not run, nor can you shoot them, nice touch I noticed
I'm looking for Arthur's grave myself. Where is he buried?
Willy Bonka You have to put the message below the read more button or else putting a spoiler warning is worthless.
Mobey Taguire I did
Midnight Arcane heâs on the big hill to be north east of fort Wallace, directly above the mysterious hill home
@@evanceja1062 he didnt know so the shut the fuck up
I only ever got the Deer the whole game. I found out about the Wolf when I watched my brother play a little
@@mahmoudqataya7030 lol
People who got the coyote played like a bitch
me
I played like a bitch
@@UnholyTingz least your honest haha đ
I kinda feel proud that all the scenes that I got were of the deer :')
I prefer wolf, much more fun being an outlaw
Im a bad boah i got all wolf coyote whatever it is
Same but I like wolves more.
@@The_hilarious-girl Too bad it's a coyote and not a wolf
Same..
When my Arthur got sick in Saint Denis, he walked out of the doctor and came face to face with a buck in the middle of the street. It was creepy af
I had the wolf
@@monyondon its a cayote
Krisdisis No itâs not itâs a wolf
@@aceofnades8389 no its not its a coyote
I feel like it was actually very wholesome
That coyote music was evil and you could feel it clawing into your soul. Like damn.
@FeÀnor Evenstar I hear ya. But I never got a single scene having the wolf or coyote.
I'm pretty sure they're the same track aren't they?
John Kirsch itâs more slow and creepy, like a predator about to jump on itâs prey.
FeÀnor ElÚssar because your a baby
W34RD07 it was barley different from the dear track
It wasnt until I checked youtube that I realized there was a wolf... I only got the deer the whole way....
You are my deer brother
It's a coyote too small to be a wolf.
@@destroyerx2513 No.. black wolves are actually that size
@@destroyerx2513 its a wolf buddy
JakeGaming324 black wolfs are another coloration of the Grey wolf or Timber wolf. Learn your facts when you get diagnosed you see itâs a coyote.
I had the wolf until the news that Arthur had tuberculosis, then i had the deer every time after that, i think thatâs kinda cool because to me it showed how he changed with him knowing his time was running out and he needed to do the good thing
Eastaboy 18 it's a coyote
That was you who changed, not Arthur.
It's a coyote
Itâs a wolf
Spoilers:
Imagine if at the scene where Arthur died at sunrise and the deer appeared, if other deers came from off frame and ran past the deer (representing all of Arthur's friends that died) only for Arthur's deer to look at them and join them
This would have been otherworldly
I'd cry even more, but in a happy way.
What about the coyote?
);
@@goombatroopa5110 maybe other coyotes abandoning him?
I personally suspected the wolf of being a coyote but it could be a wolf. The reason I went with the idea of a coyote was because the coyote is more or less the Native American version of the devil. The devil stalks Arthurâs soul, the storm symbolizing chaos and the darkness symbolizing paths to goodness long lost. At the end the canine enters into a dark cave, which I interpret as the devil has claimed his due and heading back to hell.
Just makes more sense to me then a wolf. A wolf is an honorable animal and a teacher in Native American lore and also symbol of courage and strong family bond. Also, a lone wolf is a miserable animal, itâs heart sick for a pack and often seeks out packs. Thatâs hardly a good representation of Arthur for heâs got a pack and heâs been a loyal provider. Itâs Dutch whoâs the lone wolf more or less in this sense, heâs miserable, his packs left him and only pack he has are a bunch of jackals looking for scraps over family.
I had no idea on the stage symbolism with native lore. That dose indeed make more sense. My thoughts on the stage was it made me think of the story of a catholic saint, Saint Hurbrtus the patron saint of hunters. His story involves the vision of a stage with a cross in its horns and redemption from a wicked life. That being said however, the native version makes more sense in regards to sacrifice.
Added - âThe Navajo believe that if you have a coyote sighting, it is a warning to turn around; traveling on as intended will not lead to good things.â I donât know if the adds any value but I happened upon it and decided itâs worth adding. Granted this is more about sightings then dreams but it is something.
I don't know much about Native American lore, but I do know animals, and this is most certainly a coyote. Just how it moves, the size of it and the general shape of his body and head all says coyote. So I definitely agree with your interpretation!
Gir 73 From what I remember in regards to the lore - The coyote is a trickster, a cunning animal who delights in making mischief for the sake of mischief. It also a symbol of greed, vanity and/or pride and foolishness. That more or less is an accurate symbolism for the dark side of Arthur. Anyway, the coyote is also a favorite animal for those who practice bad medicine and especially skin walkers.
I thought it was a coyote because itâs small and built like one
Yessssss!!!! XD
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILER SPOILERS
I would say the interpretation of the Wolf still implies for Arthur, he is absolutely a miserable bastard and heart sick for a pack.
He lost his son, and potential wife years ago, in his mind his only real shot at a family and a normal life. He said himself it hardened him, and he became a worse person after that. And now he is surrounded by jackals who want nothing more than the next adrenaline rush or need his help for something. He lives his entire life in service to people who range between semi-Grateful and Disdainful of his efforts. And the leader of said pack bounces between those two emotions every other day. No one really gives a shit about Arthur except Hosea, Tilly, Mary-Beth, The Marstons, Sean, and Lenny. Three out of eight die before Arthur meets his fate. And even the Marstons take some time to warm up to Arthur.
I'm not saying your wrong, because I think the Cave is supposed to represent hell like u said, but the idea of him being a Wolf still fits.
I just want to live in this game
C'mon guys don't give Eiman Xo a hard time.
Tuberculosis looked like such a fun disease to have. Not to mention all the fun you'd have getting mauled by bears, attacked by cougers, slamming the worlds dumbest horse into the side of every other tree and of course, shoveling pig shit.
Fun fact: The woods in the massive open world game Red Dead Redemption 2 are inspired by actual woods in the real world.
Gir 73 holy hell
Me toođđit's a beautiful dream..
And then get robbed, killed, and mutilated by the Murfrees..
Arthur is the best protagonist in a single player ever man. I never sympathized with any character ive played with as much as Arthur. I started off as a bad dude, literally racking up 1k bounties in every state. But as the story progressed, I saw how good of a man he was, then tread really carefully and became an honorable outlaw by the end. This game really makes u feel bad for killing everyone lol
I literally told my self many times "I'm gonna kill this npc" yet they start begging and I quite literally free them lol. Never seen such realism in an npc
The cutscene I got was one of Uncle working hard and carrying the weight of others.
That was the most beautiful scene I had ever seen.
Iâm obviously joking. Lol
clearly, you saw the alternate future where Uncle no longer suffers from LumBAgo
Well itâs not a funny âjokeâ
Didn't know there was a deer. By the events of chapter 6 I decided to establish myself a throne in hell.
Didn't know there was a wolf...
PewPewMan same
And you died in the worst possible way too then... rip
Im the opposite xD I saw only the buck and had no idea that the coyote wolf thing was a thing at all. I was searching for redemption and a purpose. Its neat how different people play the game.
Johnny GoodMeme same
I was searching for this everywhere btw I got all deer I guess Iâm a good outlaw
Biritanir Beni same
Goddammit
I should have known robbing and killing everyone in valantine at the start will affect me
Biritanir Beni youâre a fucking idiot if you couldnât realize this on your own
@@eazy_5oh103 fuck off man even if he didn't know you shouldn't bully him
Same
I realized that when you are bad honor arthur, the music is a screeching sad sound. When you're good honor arthur you hear a slight guitar riff sounding like the music in the first game when you ride through the desert part near armadillo. I think these are a huge sign too, considering the coyote is a lonely sound and the buck sound is much more like a looking down on you sound.
when i first started seeing these, (With the Deer) I Gave the Assumption that Author Knew His Death/Peace Was coming
Me too! I thought seeing the deer was hinting at one day finding peace in an afterlife at the end of the game. I guess I thought too much into it.
I thought the exact same thing.
TheFilmMixer101 Itâs Arthur you dumbass
@@joseywales6112 Look who it is...
@@joseywales6112 Roll out the Red carpet, Arthur's back
Arthur ist the best ever character ever written o cried like a baby by the last ride of him with the music
Jaycee voZĂŒri thatâs the way it is
Same and that was the only time I did through the entire game
I saw the wolf, then the deer at the end
Coyote*
FeĂ€nor Evenstar no it isnât go to the Arthur tombstone and you can see it every time
@FeÀnor Evenstar Bro do you even know the difference? A wolf is bigger and has a bigger neck this a coyote 2-3 feet a wolf can be anything from 3-4. too tiny if you look at it well. the guy in the video is wrong about it being a wolf.
FeĂ€nor Evenstar lol nothing else for me to say then đ
@@justinallen8839 Black wolf.
I had the wolf for the entire game up until Arthur found out he had TB. Then worked my way to the deer and died with halfway maxed honor.
Same
I got the wolf the entire game except for the finale which made it so much more impactful to me: I didn't know it had to do with honour and I thought that seeing the deer for the first time meant Arthur was at peace with himself while dying.
Its a coyote. Painfully obviously.
Some ppl just dont know... like some women consider a hamster and rat the same thing
@@NoisySheep7 It plays an important part of the symbolism here.
I thought of the same thing I mean if you look at a wolf's model it looks way bigger than what was shown in the cutscenes
Itâs a coyote yes people idk
Itâs a fox
IMO opinion there is no good or bad for Arthur. At the end Arthur redeemed himself and is a hero
Not if you go back for the money in Dutch's chest at the camp, I think that's quite greedy at that point of the story
Braulio Luna De La Cruz yeah
Agreed unless you went for the money
Absolutely love this video. Iâm so glad Iâm not the only one who thought these spiritual animals had a deeper meaning. Iâve been looking all over CZcams for a video on this in particular and this is the first one Iâve found. Personally I thought it changed from the wolf to deer bc the game was coming to an end but now that you explained that itâs based on honor it makes more sense. Loved these little cut scenes. Awesome video man đđœ
I can't help but think of House Baratheon and House Stark.
GrandTheftDiamonds ah I found the person I can be friends with in this comment section lol
Tru
I Think this animals are maybye the mind of the charatcer, Arthur Morgan.
Because.... SPOILER
SPOILER
The coyote (or wolf, don't know) appears when you play a bad guy whith the character, ok.
But, the deer apperas when you play the good guy.
So at the clip to 1:37 to 1:50. The scene apperas when Morgan die, and you can see, the wolf go right into a dark cave, so because Arthur was a bad guy, like we said before.
So, dark cave, makes me think of hell, darkness, because Arthur was a bad guy.
But, when you die and you see the deer, it means you are a good guy, so at the clip to 2:20 to 2:34 (this clip appears when Arthur die, but when you play the GOOD guy), you can see the deer see you and is like i tell to you "join me", and he goes to the sun. The sun, the light makes me think of the paradise because Arthur was a good guy.
That my point :)
Well that's pretty fucking obvious
@@julienthammavongsa5496 Yeah but, in first time, i did not see things like that :)
Yeah I think I saw the video
Yessss. I've been waiting for someone to put these cut scenes together. I knew it would be something interesting
It isnât a wolf, itâs a coyote, you can see the name when you are at the Arthur Tombstone and he is here
Spoilers!
mman i want to replay it again but cant get over the fact that artur dies along with his horse...was pretty epic the last mission. goosebumps leading upto it
dan Matasa the real final mission was just as good
Put a spoiler warning. :)
I could not stop crying when the horse died :(
dan Matasa ugh plz spoiler warning
I actually named my horse 'Queen' and felt so horrible seeing it die. I whispered to myself "My Queen.." and it got to me more than Arthur's death because I was fully expecting him to die which I prepared for but not my horse oh God i miss it so much
If your honour is in the middle you get an eagle
My honour was in the middle but I got the Deer strange...really cool that there's an Eagle aswell
My honor was full (i even got the achievement to prove it) and got the eagle
@EseChava 22 im talking about the (unkillable) animal thats at arthurs grave when you visit as john. People are saying you get a deer or coyote but mine was an eagle(i was at full honor)
fake news
suspicious character same
I love how the characters change, and I think Arthur is my new favorite rockstar protagonist. I love how at the end he knows heâs dying but he just tries to help the gang members who arenât blindly following Dutch and doesnât care if he dies, he risked his life to save John, and John wouldnât be the man he is without Arthur.
âWhen the time comes, you better run and donât look backâ
Same thing John tells Abigail and jack right before he dies.
You have the potential to become a good and stable youtuber keep it up whizl
Thanks man, appreciate it! :)
@@ImTheWhizL you already are fam
Maybe it has something to do with the Strange man. His room had paintings if eagle,deer,wolf's and vulture. Just saying
Yea hes god n sending these images to arthur hes speaking to him its like.
Anvin Jose the paintings reflect your honor. If u have bad honor youâll see wolves,vultures etc. but if u have good honor youâll see deer
What man
Is it the dude outside strawberry at a cabin or someone else
Look up a damn coyote and put the pic next to this wolf and see
I only got the deer scenes as well and didn't find out till after finishing the game that depending on your behavior will effect what you see. its so crazy and well thought out
Great video, thank you đđ€
These scenes really got to me as well
I think the wolf is Micah (representing evil) and I think the deer is Arthur (representing the good) and depending on which ending you get it either means Micah won or it means Arthur truly won
That doesnât sense because Arthur saw visions of the animal once he got sick (Depending on your honor)
I think John won either way.
Ajax BLKP You donât see an eagle if your honor is maxed, just the deer.
Micah is a rat
Not at all
I loved this thank you for explaining this
great video thanks budâ đŻđ
Itâs not a wolf it is a coyote
It is a wolf.
Prophet The Dragon itâs is a coyote because it is small and wolfs are bigger than that
It's a coyote. You moron
Maybe you right: The coyote plays a central role in the mythology of many North American Indian tribes. It is usually depicted as a cunning trickster.
If you think that is a wolf you'll never get the zoölogist trophy.
Song always hits me.
The shots of the deer and wolf are beautiful along with the music that plays.
All these videos gave me chills but I love them
Got the deer right the way thru
I kept seeing the wolf since the beginning until right at the end, in which I saw the deer for the first and last time. Kind of surprised me because I didn't even realize it existed nor that I'd changed Arthur's morality so much. It was a masterpiece
Man, this is so heart-touching. My eyes always get watery when this final scene with deer and that song comes.
HOLY SHIIT!!! you open m mind with this
I all ways got the coyote
Wolf and deer depend on your honor system wolf being outlaw and deer being honorable
Youre always an outlaw, not if you are the wolf your an outlaw. If you had the deer you were an outlaw too. But they symbolize if you were a good outlaw, or bad.
You were an outlaw regardless of Honor. Low Honor means Arthur doesnât care. High Honor means Arthur aimed to redeem himself.
I pretty much always play high honor but the imagery at the end of the coyote returning to the lightless den as if low-honor Arthur is finally reentering the darkness from whence he came is my favorite of these sequences.
I too found absolutely stunning thanks for the vid
Arthur deserves a deer đŠ in the cutscenes, because he sacrificed for everyone đđœđ .
I like wolves or coyotes so It felt badass when I saw it
awesome short quick
Very beautiful scenes, what struck me most was the black wolf and lightning strike cutscene!
Arthur deserves the world
Ha canât cause heâs dead
High honor arthur deserved to be the first person cured of TB
@@NicFallout fax though
I think it's a Buck and a Coyote. Which would make more sense in the context of Arthurs life? A buck or stag would represent the good side of Arthur, a protector a gentle, honorable soul. While the Coyote would be very serious, inconsiderate of the lives of others. Not gentle but ruthless.
The mysterious man and his paintings give us further confirmation. You see clearly that the creatures are smaller, their heads hanging down while they lurk for their opportunity. A wolf would represent pride and strength. There is no pride in being dishonorable. Clearly, this is just my opinion, and those can differ. I don't think yours is incorrect. These are just my thoughts on the subject.
The ears are very perky triangle and not dull on the top of the ears. It's small and has a lanky snout contrary to wolves. So yes, people who say it's a wolf are wrong.
I have only gotten the wolf which I am very proud of.
Arthur is my all time favorite character.
I haven't finished the game yet but I had the wolf the entire game until I reached chapter 6 yesterday and it changed to a deer and now I am seeing the cutscene more and more
I got the wolf 99 percent of the game until the final one, I finally got the deer
But did Micah shot Arthur in your ending
No
I got the ending where Arthur looks at the sunset
Micah's spiritual animal would obviously be the rat for low honour and a snake for high honour.
Maybe the black coyote is Galactus in disguise đ
0:40 this gives me shivers every time
Don't know about anyone else, but these visions + Arthur coming to terms with his sickness, reminded me of the movie Gladiator and the corn field, because it implied the main character would die no matter what.
Hey there man,I personally think that The Buck symbolizes St.Hubertus the Patron Saint of Hunters,He is often depicted in paintings with a Buck or a Deer.Seeing as Arthur(aside from Charles) is the main hunter of the gang and of course Hunting is one of the more important aspects of the game and that Rockstar implemented a lot of Catholic Theology in the 1st game and now in this,From the gang's dog being named "Cain" taken from the story of Cain and Abel,Cain being the sinful brother,The Wolf may symbolize the Evil side of Arthur or the player "Wolves in sheep's clothing".
Lol dont think so bud,the coyote is symbolism for feeding off the misfortune of others,as coyotes do which are also scavengers when they cant kill their own food,as the deer feeds only off the land
John Kenneth sorry bud I donât think thatâs right at all you pull a lot of meaning out of nothing
The dogs name is just Cain
Nothing more to it
John Kenneth also itâs not a wolf itâs a coyote
What I love about these dreams is that the wolf dreams always gave me goosebumps while the deer dreams made me feel at ease.
Informal! Thanks! I had the deer
always got goosebumps during those spiritual animals scenes
I started seeing the coyote for 60% of the game then after that i saw the deer.
Me before i played:
âIm going to be the badest Killer ever!â
When i was playing:
âOh my god i cant do anything evilâ
90% honor playthrough... wow am i really that kind
I just got this in my feed, thank you for making this Iâve been wondering what the deer symbolized since I played Arthur as a good outlaw and ever since I finished the story I wanted to go deeper into the meaning of what the deer actually meant.
My animal was uncle telling me how serious his lumbago is.
SPOILER
Man, I saw a easter egg in epilogue 1 that is pretty cool. When the chapter starts, we ride with John and his family with a wagon to the city, and in the way Jack starts to talk about a book and mentions the name of the king Arthur, then John says "yeah, i kinda like that names". After that, a deer pass in front of the wagon. On the first time, I just thought it was a coincidence, but I searched on youtube and found that the deer appears every time in that precise moment. Found that quite interesting and it made sense with your explanation. The question is: If you have a bad behavior with Arthur, instead of a deer, will we see a wolf in that scene?
In my first play through I felt like killing everyone Bc I was bored lmao but when I was in the epilogue I donât think it was a wolf but I will see and tell you
@@Seandoodoo Ok man, pretty cool! I have a video in my channel in portuguese that shows that deer. Never saw one with a wolf
OMG I got the wolf ending but I for sure thought the wolf was foreshadowing John leaving the gang...
I got a mix of both the wolf and stag. When I first got access to free roam, my honor was slightly good, then went slightly bad because I started robbing trains, but then I went full good. I almost had my honor max good at the end of the game but I had tons of bounty hunters coming after me with lawdogs and killing the dogs lowers your owner which is stupid asf since theyâre enemies and attack you.
I love the amount of detail between the different kind of play throughâs you can have being good and bad thereâs a lot of other games with good and bad systems like the fallout games which have good detail with the karma system but I think red dead 2 takes it to a new level of detail
Red dead 2 has no right being as good as it is. Honestly this my favorite game ever
Always got a deer..well.
I only ever got the deer, to find out that there is an alternate dream sequence is stunning.
I feel the best representation of Arthur is to see the wolf for the first half of the game, then the deer towards the end.
Arthur is the best Rockstar game protagonist, dare I say the best video game protagonist.
*Dare I say the best protagonist in ANY media.*
Late to the game here, but I literlly just said something very similar to my fiance. Arthur is my favorite character across all media. Roger clark did outstanding portraying him. I'm glad he won some awards for his work.
Dare I suggest the possibility of a t.v series, i hope they cast him cause itll be hard to hear or see someone whos not roger clark be arthur.
You have completely overthought this but I respect your passion. Beautiful game to be sure.
Figured this one out on my own and proud
Been waitimg to find a vid on this i played rdr2 with my best friend playing his copy in the same room as me we found this detail cause i played good and him bad we noticed the day after the game came out looked it up and no one had talked about it yet
A wolf appears if you became a True outlaw.
A Deer appears if you make good acts like helping people.
This is a deep meaning.
Monkey.D Luffy wOah brO iM 14, anD tHis Is DeeP
@@coloryournight I'm 14 and this symbolism is not deep. You can hardly find any intelligent life in the comments.
Tommy Phillips Youâre fucking stupid.
@@coloryournight lmao why are you so angry đ
@@tommyphillips5850 no one cares if your 14
That's coyote bruh..
Jesus who cares just enjoy the video
also, the last scene when arthur dies, the wolf walks into a dark cave, representing arthur's soul be damned by his dishonorable deeds. the deer, however, wanders off towards the sun, representing arthur's soul be redeemed for his good deeds and helping john get away and start over.
I got the wolf at the start and at the very end i saw a deer
I didnt know what this meant until i saw your video. Thanks
It's a Black Coyote, not a Black Wolf
