That's a good ending.
There's no sudden redemption, he didn't right all his wrongs he just simply remembered what he'd done and was told to see the memory as a gift to move on.

I’m not gonna lie Arthur has got to be one of the most well written and the most human protagonist I have ever played in any video game ever

[peachy_peach]

Percy screaming and begging for Arthur is really tearing me apart. I can't handle that. ;-; Poor Percy!

[keddakedda]

“Life goes on, that is mercy” wow that’s gonna stick with me for good a sad yet a terrible truth

[williamaldred]

I like the fact that he slowly realises and deconstructs the lie he tells himself. At the start all he thought was that it was him making a mistake by telling them his age by the end he knows that was simply looking out for himself and knows he can't change, ironic for someone that started off in a job changing the past

[dandman]

Percy : *clearly calls Arthur's name*

Constable : "i'm gonna pretend i didn't hear that"

[liamturner]

ive just realised that arthurs ending is the only part of the game that you get to have a proper 3rd person look at arthur and not just his hands

[bryanegelhoffsanimationtec]

Act I: A man coming to terms with his past decisions, and how they've effected him and the ones he loves.

[scrimbo]

The ending. When you experience this. You feel uncomplete. Yet complete. You’ve realized what you have done as a kid. And that horrifies you. But the gaurd gives you hope. Hope tor a very better life. Without joy.

[yanderefangirl]

Imagine if Arthur did go on the train, and you play as Percy in the game. Percy would probably have a huge, emotional breakdown remembering his last memory of Arthur.

[christophercervantes]

Something tells me that Bobby was off his joy..

[llysistrata]

Seriously all these endings had me shook

[barbaro]

Did that policeman just quote Thomas Paine's "The American Crisis"? These are the times that try men's souls....

[peachy_peach]

Damn. All that talk about "taking care of each other in Germany" was all just a lie. One big lie that got his brother killed. Okay... I think-.... *Inhales* I think I need to go sit down.

[YakitoriQueen]

I'm back here years later to talk about this fantastic ending. The writing? Incredible. "You must treat it as a gift, to know who you are. Without that, there's no hope for wisdom." "I wish i still believed in some sort of mercy." "Life goes on! THAT is the mercy." And the voice acting, god, props to whoever voiced Arthur. "I can't do that. Not anymore." These are simple lines but that voice acting truly makes them shine, there's an ocean of emotion poured into them.

[jordanpeterson]

I think that one line is the best I've ever heard. It's simply put in one sentence but has a big meaning. "Life goes on, that is the mercy."

[mahobgood]

Accept your pain as a gift Arthur, know your self regardless of your pain and you can live better than ever before.

[rando]

*Arthur:* "I wish I still believed in some sort of . . . mercy."

*Chief Inspector Peters:* "Life goes on. THAT is the mercy."

I didn't really process this when the game came out, but now that I'm finally making a pseudo-honest effort to get sober _(alcohol is an entirely different beast from Joy, but still a beast nevertheless), _ this ending has a certain resonance I didn't see back in the day.

One of the first things they teach you about handling recovery is to take it one day at a time. The early days of getting clean fucking suck, but dealing with it in the now instead of thinking _"the next three weeks are going to be worse than getting five teeth pulled without anaesthetic"_ does help. After a fashion.

[kimauditor]

I can't believe he lied to the constable about his name and everything. But still, he confessed his sin.

3:40 And the policeman didn't like putting the kids on the train. He said that "I am not going to put one more child on that train than my duty obligates me to do."
