And thus we come to the most heartbreaking Stranger Mission of the lot: The Veteran.
As Arthur begins to make his way east towards the Annesburg area, he'll come across a legless veteran slumped by some rocks called Hamish. Speak to him, and it turns out that his leg separated on his horse, Buell, who'd bolted at the site of a snake. Arthur takes it upon himself to find Buell, and Hamish fast becomes a genuine friend, representing one of the few genuine connections Arthur makes outside of Dutch's Gang.
Of course, being Rockstar, things don't all go smoothly, but depending on your choices, the loveable steed Buell - that "moody, magnificent horse" - can be ridden across Arthur's entire story.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
