Red Dead Redemption 2 10 Times Micah Was Actually Good
Red Dead Redemption 2's main villain ended up being Micah Bell more than anyone else, but there were a few times he was a genuinely good person. featured a lot of characters who operated under a morally gray umbrella. They were good people, but they did bad things. However, if there is one thing all gamers in the history of ever can agree upon, it's that the character of Micah Bell was a downright villain. He was the prime antagonist of the game, the man whose guts we hated with all the anger in our bodies. But despite our bitter feelings toward Micah, could it be that he's not as evil as we thought he was? Read on if you want to know about all the times Micah Bell was a good person in Red Dead Redemption II. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Repaying Arthur For The Jail Break
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 world. The Day He First Met Dutch
We never see the moment when 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 act? Sharing Good Tips On Stagecoach Robberies
Say what you will about Micah, but he makes for a great outlaw. While he has the tendency to fly off the handle, he has his ears to the ground when it comes to lucrative opportunities. And Micah never hesitates to share these tips with his fellow Van Der Linde Gang members. When he hears about a potential take on a stagecoach, Micah lets Arthur know about it, even though the two of them aren't exactly close. If that's not being a decent-ish criminal friend, we don't know what is. Working With The Government
Okay, just hear us out on this. From a certain point of view, it was the morally upstanding thing to do to inform the government about the activities of a criminal gang. Micah turning rat and letting Pinkerton Jim Milton know about Dutch's plans and location could be construed as a good thing. If you think about it, Micah was just doing his civic duty as a member of society. The fact that it churns our stomachs to sing Micah's praises shouldn't stop you from being objective. Bringing Dutch Peace Offerings After His Screw-Ups
One of the genuine good things about Micah is his willingness to square things out with Dutch. When Micah gets into trouble and potentially spoils things for the whole gang, he steers clear of the camp until he can bring a good take as a kind of apology. This is a commendable action. It shows that Micah is the kind of person who insists on returning what he perceives as favors and showing obeisance to the leader of the gang. It's no wonder that Dutch holds him in such high esteem. Praising Bill Williamson s Intelligence
Let's be honest, lack of smarts is a bit of a running joke within the Van Der Linde Gang. Even Arthur pokes fun at Bill's slow wits. So when Micah Bell comes along and commends Bill for using his head in the later stages of the game, it's a nice thing for him to do. Is it a bald-faced lie? Yes, yes it is. Is Micah just singing Bill's praises in order to sway him to his side of the rapidly dividing camp lines? Yes to that to. Still, it's a kind gesture. The O Driscoll Encounter In The Snow
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 homestead. Little do they know that some O'Driscolls are hiding in there. It's thanks to Micah's keen observations and quick thinking that the three outlaws are able to survive this encounter with a rival gang. Well, that and the player's amazing shooting skills. On Guarma
We're trying not to be too stingy when it comes to commending Micah for things. However, we honestly think that his time with Arthur on Guarma was him at his best. Micah and the rest were thrust into , but they were able to count on each other to get themselves out of it. Everyone, including Micah, pulled their own weight when it came to rallying together and fighting off Fussar's forces. Micah Bell proved he was a reliable guy in a fight in this strangest of Red Dead chapters. Inducting New Members Into The Gang
Who says Micah Bell doesn't have friends? When tensions are running high in the Van Der Linde camp, Micah takes it upon himself to try and induct some old friends into the group. Joe and Cleet are former associates of Micah's, and their very existence is proof that Micah can make friendly acquaintances with people and have them last. While their inclusion into the Van Der Linde gang was brief and may have hastened its end, it did paint Micah in a semi-commendable light. Leaving Arthur To Die Dependent On Honor
If you have high honor at the end of Arthur's time in Red Dead Redemption II, you get to witness Micah's last good moment. Even though the two were at deadly blows just seconds ago, after Dutch ends the confrontation, Micah chooses to walk away, leaving Arthur to die staring at the sunrise. This may not seem like the ultimate act of goodness, but this is Micah we're talking about here. Conversely, if you had low honor, Micah kills Arthur in cold blood instead. Which, if you think about it from a certain point of view, shows that Micah recognizes and responds to Arthur's honor.
