8 Gaming Moments Where You KNEW You Were Going To Cry

6. Arthur Morgan's Worsening Health - Red Dead Redemption 2

FFVII CLOUD AERITH
Rockstar

Possibly a controversial take here but Arthur Morgan is the most likeable playable character in any Rockstar title. The outlaw protagonist seems to be completely aware of the contradictory nature of the actions of Dutch's gang, and yet still manages to retain some kind of integrity in his actions despite the nature of his profession.

However, after an interaction where Arthur is serving as a debt collector and brutually beats up an ill man, he unknowingly contracts tuberculosis and throughout the rest of the campaign, his condition worsens.

Later in the story, it is revealed to Morgan that his condition is terminal, and the player reaches a fork in the road moment where they have to decide how the outlaw will live his remaining weeks on earth. Even though it is abundantly clear by the end that Arthur's days are numbered, it doesn't make witnessing his demise any easier at the end of the campaign.
