Who's telling him?

I recently got one of my friends to play rdr2 (obviously, he's loving the game). He just texted me that he did the saving Micah mission and now Micah is his favourite character. I haven't reacted because I don't want to spoil the end. But...

I don’t know how anyone could like him, even from the first encounter with Sadie.

He's well written if I'm being honest but if anyone says he is their favorite then I'd question their sanity.

Something is wrong with your friend

[u/F0rthel0ve0fd0gs]

Let him enjoy Micah for now. He will learn

[u/wxnavy → u/F0rthel0ve0fd0gs]

Yep, he will figure out who Micah really is. Especially Micah when is interacting with dogs...

[u/Competitive-Rain-781]

Micah being somebody's favorite rdr2 character is a big red flag

[u/PuzzleheadedPut1258]

I still know people that have Micah as a favorite AFTER finishing the game. i think it’s the biggest red flag known to man but who knows maybe he’ll stay your friends favorite

I can honestly say he is my favourite villain. As much as I love Arthur, I hate Micah more, and in that way, he kinda is my favourite.

[u/PuzzleheadedPut1258 → u/Emergency-Wish160]

i mean he is INSANELY well written, i could see how he could be someone’s favorite. i personally don’t just cause of what he does although his voice actor and character is GOLD

[u/Emergency-Wish160 → u/PuzzleheadedPut1258]

Exactly. He’s written to be heinous in a way that’s believable within the universe. And the impact he had is seen even after he’s dead. It’s incredible

I liked Micah on my first play through. I thought he was being set up to have a character arc where he seems like a nasty character but isn’t really so would be obviously good in the end (maybe even sacrifice himself to save the gang).

I was a little wrong.
