An often overlooked, yet essential aspect of a good visual narrative is the music. Whether it be a movie, television show, or video game, if the story contains some type of emotional element, it becomes the music's job to drive that element home. If you played Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 last year, you experienced a story with a fair amount of emotional complexity that challenged the themes of loyalty, morality, and freedom, and did so in a way that resembled nothing short of a masterpiece. Like most stories of this nature, an enormous bow was needed to tie all of those layers together and create an experience that was just as moving as a movie you'd see at the theater, or a television show that you'd watch at home.

The two instruments, while complementing each other, build two separate forms of tension in the same way that the ego-centric, power-hungry personalities of Dutch and Bronte clash with one another. The two personalities dance around with each other until they can no longer coexist. The horns build, rapid guitar strums emerge, then we experience an unnerving high set of strings, right before everything stops all at once for a brief moment. In that brief moment, Dutch kills Bronte. Right as it passes, a heavy string section crashes in to represent Arthur Morgan's horror in realizing just how far Dutch has strayed from the man he once k

Deep down inside, Arthur Morgan is a good man. Just make sure to not tell him that. He’ll then go on a long philosophical rant on how he’s anything but. We get it, Arthur has done some questionable things in his time. Still, a man can change, which is pretty much the purpose of this game. Just learn how to accept a compliment Arthur.

Hosea is believed to have been born around the year of 1844. This means by the time the events of the game get going he's likely either 54 or 55 years old. With Dutch being slightly younger, that would make Hosea the oldest member of the Van Der Linde g
