I didn’t notice much character development at all over the course of the game. All that happened was that Arthur lost faith in one guy. I think most of us living humans have been burnt by somebody we trust and learned that lesson by age 20. How Arthur made it into his 30’s before facing his daddy issues is beyond me, but I can’t comprehend on what planet that incredibly juvenile lesson in “Other people don’t always have your best interests at heart” qualifies as “one of the best character developments of all time”. At the very least it doesn’t hold a candle to John Marston’s arc. I mean the same company made GTA IV and Nico Bellic who is another character that is just in a whole different league than Arthur.
Like I could see myself being moved by his character if I myself was 14 when playing through the game. But playing this game for adults in my mid-twenties, it was just not compelling to play this character that was both much older than me, and yet also somehow had the mind of a teenage boy who’s just figured out his parents don’t actually know everything in the universe, and dad’s been cheating on mom.
what are you talking about? Also, Roger Clark won best performance of the year for his role as Arthur Morgan, so you are pretty much alone in feeling way to mature in relation to the character
Did you not play the game? Dutch is a surrogate father to Arthur, having brought him into the gang when Arthur was 14. It’s brought up multiple times throughout the story and is the basis for their relationship. Dutch literally says to Arthur out loud “You’re like a son to me”. It wasn’t exactly subtle.
Also, Roger Clark won best performance for his voice performance as Arthur, which he did do a good job of. That has absolutely nothing to do with the writing for, or maturity of the character.
