This is why the last mission with the Veteran should be left to John

You know on my first playthrough on the final mission as Arthur I had this old man's horse with max bond level. It's the only horse you get in the game with some actual backstory, so when Arthur said "thank you" in it's final moments it hurt a lot...

Well, in this version, you can keep Buell basically forever and the veteran lives longer, but Arthur doesn’t get to see his final moments.

[yoshinauser]

"Hello, sir."
"And who might you be ?"
"A caller...Jack Marston."

This is very interesting. Hamish still dies, but this way he lives much longer and Buell never has to die under any circumstances, which is a big plus. I feel so bad for those that played the final mission with Buell as their horse, not knowing what was coming. Brutal.

The last part of every secondary mission should be left for John. It makes much more sense and you get a greater understanding on how Arthur impacted all these people. It's poetic since Arthur never saw himselft as a good man, but they all considered and viewed him as a good man.

Honestly, among all the detail in this game, the massive contingency writing for John taking over is the most impressive to me. Writing and recording whole new scenes for every side mission, it's really something.

i love how you made john look like jack

Its good that in this version Hamish lives about 8 years longer. That's a lot of extra years

[shaggysnax]

I also kept Hamish's final mission for John. It was nice that he got an extra decade of life, despite Arthur not being around to see him. I do love the thematic weight of Hamish's collection and how Arthur helped build it, and what a nice understanding friendship the two had.

I remember not finishing Mr. Black and White questline as Arthur and for John their missions simply duplicated, nice to see that at least this one isn't broken

[noctisdrake]

I messed up the first time I finished Heimish missions with Arthur, I always rode with Buell everywhere and then the final mission with Arthur happened and Buell died, honestly for me that was incredibly powerful and sad because the dialogue for Arthur thanking his horse but with Buell just seems way too personal and really amazing.

[fuckyou]

Also, he seems like one of the few people Arthur actually enjoyed spending time with, already knowing he was sick, it is like Arthur trying to enjoy his last time, trying to find some type of true friendship. Sometimes it feels like Hamish’s character is the only friend Arthur ever has and gets to spent time with gladly.

I always save this one for John for 3 reasons:
1) Hamish gets to live for 8 more years
2) It becomes a tribute for Arthur
And 3) You get to keep Buell forever

"My name is Marston. Jack Marston. You knew my father."

[hyperbolicechochamber]

I think it should be the second last mission where you go hunting wolves. They sit down for a long talk and they go hunting for the creatures Arthur saved John from.

[CornholioPuppetMaster]

My first time playing I did everything as Arthur and I was sad when I went to the stable as John and didn’t see Buell

[katowoozy]

I personally like having Buell with me during the final mission of the main game. Yeah, Buell dies, but Arthur giving him comfort in his last few breaths really feels impactful than saving Buell for the post game. Plus, I don’t like ending Hamish’s story on John, I like the bond he had with Arthur and I want Hamish’s last moments to be with Arthur.

[XradicalD]

I was lucky enough to get this on my first playthrough. In a sense I thought this was the way the game wanted it to go but sooner than later I saw this wasn't the case. Amazing detail by the developers, and you get to keep Buell, that horse isn't scared of anything, while distracted I ran a bear over with him. Tough as nails.

[rhysxmason]

i retrieved the horse for the veteran as arthur and in the epilouge his side mission was available but i waited too long and his side mission to meet him again disappeared :(

[theeyeoftheyinyangs]

Hamish is like a grandfather you care about and like to visit, talk to, and enjoy life with. Something about him that has so much great interests. Kinda wish there was a small game dedicated to him.
