I did not know there were multiple endings until I looked up some YouTuber reactions to the ending... only to see someone getting the 'good' ending which REALLY surprised me. I got the 'bad' ending (my morale bar was basically at the very far left and had been that way for all of chapter 6, especially because I played like a ruthless outlaw and ended with a $555 bounty in New Hanover, lol). I was shocked. I stood up from my couch shouting at the TV when 'it' happened. I am full of sadness/anger/shock at all of it. Chapter 6 was just sledgehammer after sledgehammer. I'm in the epilogue now. Still wrestling with the emotions from all of chapter 6. God damn what an amazing game. I want to do it all over again - and be better.
SPOILERS... but not about the main character, it's about a horse: I did the sidequests with the veteran, Hamish Sinclair. We went hunting a few times and Arthur and him seemed to get along well. After Guarma, I lost my horse, and somehow ended up with another that I wasn't too fond of. Well, when Hamish and I went hunting, he got thrown by a huge boar and died. So, for the last 10 hours of the game, I had his horse, Buell, who was fast and beautiful and just a great horse. And then he died, and Arthur had a moment with him, and I thought that added SO much to the main story even though it was just a little cinematic moment. It worked out beautifully.
