10 Stupidly Obvious Video Game Plot Holes You Just Had To Ignore

2. Why Didn't Anyone Catch Tuberculosis From Arthur? - Red Dead Redemption 2

Later on in Red Dead Redemption 2, steely protagonist Arthur Morgan learns that he's contracted tuberculosis and has a limited time left to live, eventually leading to his death at the end of the game.

But what's baffling about this is that, despite the highly contagious nature of tuberculosis, Arthur doesn't appear to infect anybody else, even while continuing to live, eat, drink, sleep and use the bathroom at a crowded camp.

Given that TB killed 1.7 million people worldwide in 2017, the notion that Arthur didn't spread his illness to his pals well over 100 years prior is just absurd. It doesn't ruin it a masterful game, but it is a peculiar oversight in an otherwise detail-rich work of art.

Even just a few brief glimpses of campers coughing and sputtering occasionally would've sewn this hole up nicely.
