Does anyone else believe that Micah from RDR 2 was a poorly written character?

[Child_Of_God]

RDR 2 is a masterpiece without a doubt but I can’t help but to notice how cartoonishly evil Micah was. He had no redeeming characteristics and he was straight up bad throughout the entire game to the point where it was obvious that he would be the one to betray and break up the gang. Rockstar should of made him a sheep in wolfs clothing type villain. Brash, outspoken and a bit manipulative but at the same time supportive, loyal and caring towards the gang instead of being an outright a$$hole so that way it would be a bit of a shock once we find out that he was the rat.

I know that this might be an unpopular opinion but that’s just how I feel regarding the character.

I disagree. He's a great character cause we hate his guts.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Nah, he was a racist a$$hole who only cares about himself. Seems pretty realistic.

What you described is sounds like Dutch actually, lol

 

[Doctor Doom]

You literally described Dutch.

Dutch is the one who broke up the gang.

Dutch is the most manipulative.

Dutch is the one who was pointing guns at everyone.

You right about him not being a redeeming character but the solution is wrong. I think they should have kept him the same and let everyone think he was the rat, before finding out it was someone else they all trusted like Mary beth or some shyt. He still a racist so he deserves the animosity regardless.

There are real people out there that are just straight out evil, specially in that time.

I thought the whole story was poorly written for this same reason.

Everything was telegraphed.

You knew exactly where everything was going very early on. You just had to wait through like 15 hours of the story for the characters to figure it out

Dutch always felt like the real bad guy and Micah was the side kick. I think some the game was probably cut in early development with that whole black water heist. They lost like 5 members and went on the run. Showing some of that would’ve added more weight to his character.
