Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Things That Make No Sense About Hosea
Micah Bell can't be all bad if he gives Arthur Morgan an off-hand holster. When Arthur goes to Strawberry to bust Micah out of jail, a major hassle ensues. The two outlaws end up having to shoot up practically the whole town in order to escape. (This was due in part to Micah's craziness, but we digress.) Afterwards, in order to repay Arthur for this favor, Micah gives him an off-hand holster. This in turns gives players the ability to dual-wield pistols. See, Micah can do some good in the wo
The strongest bond Arthur ever shared was with John Martson . Growing up together under Dutch in his gang brought the two men closer together than they likely ever realized. For most accounts they were brothers, who like brothers do, sometimes argued, but at the end of the day, they knew they loved one another and would do anything to protect t
An interesting little detail concerning Red Dead Redemption II is the fact that Jack never leaves the camp. This little tidbit directly ties into the previous entries about him being shielded from reality and never learning how to swim - by never leaving camp, he never sees the gang as they truly are, and he never finds the time to learn how to s
Based on his personality he's the type of guy who likely feels most comfortable being a supportive fire in engagement as opposed to the leading man trying to set the tone. He never looked like the lone gunslinger, but in a pinch and the right headspace, Bill was a reliable s
Hosea is the name of a prophet who lived in Israel in the eighth century and has been documented in the Hebrew Bible. While his name's meaning, "salvation," "he helps," or "he saves," fits with his character arc, his name's origin doesn't match his backstory. On Hosea's wiki page , he's listed as a Roman Catholic. However, this name is Jewish in nature, since it comes from the Hebrew Bible. To further confuse things, Hosea says he once wanted to be a priest, but he "didn't know you had to be a Catholic to be a priest." So which is it? Catholic or Jew
Some of the best relationships in fiction aren't necessarily the ones that are labeled as friendships, sometimes rivalries end of being the most fascinating. Players are introduced to Micah Bell when Arthur is tasked with breaking him out of j
Back in the day, Hosea was married to a woman named Bessie. At some point, he left the gang to be with Bessie, and to supposedly live a normal life within the boundaries of the law. We know Bessie eventually dies in the years prior to Red Dead Redemption 2 , but there's far more about her we don't know. What killed her? Was it natural circumstances or as a result of Hosea returning to the outlaw life? Why did Hosea return to the outlaw life at all? Where and how on earth did he meet Bessie in the first pl
When fans start to discuss their favorite and most memorable Van Der Linde members most of them forget about or consciously leave out Sean MacGuire. He's a feisty Irish outlaw who loses the gang's trust after he's captured but works non-stop to earn himself back into the good graces of Arthur and Du
red dead Redemption 2 easter eggs Dead Redemption 2 took players on a journey that featuring the story of a man named Arthur Morgan who played a pivotal role in the lives of most of the Van Der Linde Gang that was lead by Arthur's father of sorts, Dutch Van Der Linde. Arthur had varying levels of relationships with the gang that ranged from lifelong friends to passing fa
Though Micah's demeanor is almost immediately grating, his first few actions in Red Dead Redemption II's prologue are admirable. While looking for shelter in the snowy mountains, Dutch, Arthur, and Micah stumble upon an occupied homest
Hosea Matthews is one of the co-founders of the Van der Linde gang. He's the oldest member of the gang and Dutch van der Linde's oldest friend. Like they do with Dutch, Arthur Morgan and other members of the gang view Hosea as a father figure who keeps the gang's best interests in mind. As opposed to Dutch's more violent nature, Hosea opts out of unnecessary violence and sticks instead to conning and robbing people without hurting t
We never see the moment when Dutch van der Linde meets Micah Bell as players, but Dutch tells Arthur all about it. Apparently, Micah saved Dutch's life during a deal gone south, even though they were total strangers. Dutch remembers this, and that's partially why he sticks up for Micah when the rest of the gang looks down on him. Micah's pretty mercenary at times, but there is no way he could have known that saving Dutch would benefit him at all. Was this Micah's first (and only) selfless
He could have been acting out of desperation to get as much money as Dutch thought they needed to retreat back west or maybe he was just done trying to defy Dutch. Since the bank robbery killed Hosea, players may never k
He was a man of few words, but many actions that just wanted those around him that he cared about to be happy. You could argue that his bond with John was a little closer as he helped him build a home, but he didn't waste any time or ask any questions when Arthur needed him by his side in his final d
