One person said, “Give me John, first game is an all-time favorite for me,” and, “John hands down. The story is essentially his redemption arc overall, Arthur was there to act as a pseudo mentor to John establishing his persona from RD1. The entire story is John’s story at the end of the day.” A user also said that John is the reason they played the second part of the game. “John still. He was my favorite back in 2010 and the main reason I played Red Dead 2 because everyone knew you’d play as him at some point.”
However, not only did John receive a lot of votes, but Arthur also took the lead as many people’s favorite. A user said, “Arthur meanwhile is an incredibly written and sympathetic character. He has actual redemption and changes greatly from beginning to end.” Another user added “Dude, I played RDR1 and dreaded the fact that Arthur Morgan was the main character. I couldn’t believe it. Fast forward to the end of the game, and I hated being John! I wanted Arthur back! If that’s not a testament to Roger Clark’s performance, and the writing then I don’t know what is.”
Regardless of who you think is a better protagonist, this conversation will be beneficial for Red Dead Redemption as it garners attention.
