Not what anyone's saying. But it's not about Arthur losing his father figures, lol the man is nearing his forties...
Lmao, you know RDR2 also won the award for best narrative same year...
That is literally exactly what it’s about, from start to finish. And the fact that he’s in his forties is exactly why I think it doesn’t really work, I’m glad you agree lol.
Yeah, no award for best protagonist though. Ah well.
If that's your interpretation of Arthurs story arc then, yeah, explains it.
No such category for the Game Awards 2018 so not sure what you're referring to.
Yes that is sorta the only way to interpret it, as it’s very explicit the entire way through, but yeah. There are things to interpret about the story of RDR2, but Arthur’s entire arc being primarily about his relationship with his surrogate father is not one of them.
That is correct. RDR2’s protagonist Arthur did not earn Rockstar any awards like you’re suggesting. There doesn’t even exist an award for that. Rockstar won an award for the overall narrative for the game, which includes an entire cast of characters, most of which are far more compelling than Arthur, and is also largely about the death of the “Wild West”. And then Roger Clark won an award for his voice performance.
