With Micah Bell, it's hard to feel sorry for a guy who did earn a set of authentic and completely earned nicknames. Arthur Morgan came up with them and can be heard calling the Van Der Linde gang plague Micah Bell a rat, sickness, and snake. All of which are so perfectly fitt
Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to fight its own nature. Perhaps, more accurately, I'm constantly fighting my own nature as a gamer while playing it. Small mishaps always pulled me out of the game, like bumping into pedestrians in Saint Denis would automatically get me wanted, which obviously turned into bloody shootouts every time. The serious nature of the game and its story belied no actual seriousness when presenting topics of immense depth. Rockstar's attempt at making one of the most realistic games falls flat due to awkward button placement, cumbersome menus, annoyingly constant random events, and a slowly-paced st
Red Dead Redemption 2 released in 2018 to great critical reception and saw tremendous sales success. The game told a Western tale that ended up being one of the best video game narratives of all time as players journeyed along the way with Arthur Morgan. The Van Der Linde was comprised of many members, some making it and others falling along the way. Some of the characters were likable, but Micah Bell sure wasn't one of them. Let's look at ten things you might not have known about Micah Bell from Red Dead Redemption
Would you believe that out of the entire Van Der Linde gang, Micah Bell is the only member Arthur Morgan could never see eating at any point in the game? Well, that's entirely true and makes sense for someone who wants to hide things from people. Not allowing people to see him eat also allows Micah Bell to have more creative freedom in his lies and opens up the door for made-up stories to cover his tracks. Another logical conclusion is that he's a demon who feeds people believing the lies he comes up w
The sequel shows a somewhat different character. In the crossroads of an existential dilemma, Dutch must choose between changing his entire identity to save his band of followers or fall victim to his own fallacies and authoritative attitude. Dutch is one of the most conflicted characters in the entire series, struggling with his devotion to living free while still chasing a life of everlasting peace for his gang. He truly believes in himself, as much as his followers do, which drives him into the very state of insanity we find him in during the origi
Once he gets sick, he goes even further into correcting past mistakes and trying to make good with anyone he feels he hasn't treated properly. Even though he's supposed to be a degenerate black hat-wearing villain, we're pretty sure we could leave our wallet around him, and not have to worry about losing any change. He's someone we would love to go drinking with, because not only would be a ball to hang out with, he also somehow has the ability to turn a bar fight into a dancing chorus line . That's the kind of dude we want to ride with.
The voice of the Austrian bookkeeper is provided by an actor by the name of Howard Pinhasik. Pinhasik happened to also provide much of the physical look for the character as his facial scan was used to bring Strauss to l
Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol
Is a machine not working properly? He'll find the switch or plug that'll make it work. Too many Combine soldiers getting in the way of the resistance fighters? Don't worry, he'll crowbar them to death for you. Need to vent about your worries regarding the end of humanity as we know it? Feel free to talk away, as Gordon is an excellent listener. He doesn't speak much, but he's a true blue friend, and he even doesn't mind picking up the beer tab, as long you get him back after this whole alien war business is taken care of.
Players control Kiryu and Majima, alternating between their side of the story. The Yakuza series is an action-adventure game that has plenty of side quests and minigames that makes the game much more immersive, like running a business and playing arcade ga
Micah Bell's horse is named Baylock and is a male Missouri Fox Trotter. Its darker body and light face make the horse look an awful lot like the Dark Horse from the first Red Dead Redemption. The Dark Horse would only spawn in the first Game Early Access if the player had a low honor level. When putting that into account it seems that the horse picked for Micah Bell was intentional and meant as another piece of foreshadowing teasing the type of person he would reveal himself to be by journey's
