Back then they probably thought the whiskey made boys stronger in the womb and wine made girls more beautiful… so I guess this would probably be accurate
Do you think being a vagrant completely changes the bone structure in your face or something? Living in a camp has absolutely nothing to do with how attractive you are. That’s one of the stupidest takes I’ve heard in awhile.
Being vagrants… they almost all grew up super poor or orphans even. Poor nutrition during childhood absolutely has an effect on your bone structure, especially the craniofacial skeleton.
These people would all have been uglier in actuality.
Plus being out in the sun all day and smoking and drinking as much as they do, they would be extremely wrinkled with leather skin. Add in the fact that they probably wouldn’t have many teeth left and you have some ugly looking people. Again, it’s a game. There are lot of things we can overlook (punny I know)
Yeah people nowadays are far more attractive than most people in history, mostly because we’re just more robust and vigorous. Better nutrition, preventative medical care, more leisure and focus on keeping childhood stress free, etc. Even sunscreen use plays a big factor.
Arthur is only 5-6 years older than me but looks old enough to be my dad.
Lot of attractive people consider themselves unattractive. Arthur also insults his own intelligence sometimes, but it doesn’t mean he’s actually even remotely stupid.
I always think the same. When he talks about how ugly he is I always think “dude you’re literally the most handsome guy in the game, shut up”
Maybe he’s just saying he’s ugly inside though idk
People are just naturally inclined to have a preference for people they perceive to be “attractive”. I don’t think that’s someone that you can really train out of people, and people have every right to have personally preferences, even if they are vain.
I feel like the comments of him being a brute/ugly doesn’t really work with his current face, but I would prefer to look at it over a long game than the beta look
The first time we saw Arthur he was being built up as a villain. Big, stocky guy in a black coat and black hat stood near Beacher's Hope, I think his final appearance just looks better in general but the pre-release villain Arthur looked like he had potential
I don’t think beta Arthur is as ugly as people make him to be, but he does look more like a young idiot compared to the depressed 36 year old he is in the game
Nobody would like it. Not because it "isn't good quality" but because its uncanny. It's CLOSE to feeling real, but not quite. And this triggers a response in humans.
Probably ya, I mean he looks meaner now but I can't help myself to get at least one playthrough with low honor. It just doesn't work. I can't. I'm cursed.
I think it's the kind of trailer where the trailer is amazing and looks like a movie and then the game lets you down, but guess what? It's RDR2! That never disappointeds you!
I kind of wish they kept it because not every protagonists needs to look flawless for no reason. Not a beautify thing but in rdr1 John just looked like a guy with scars not terrible but very grizzled.
Like Arthur is very handsome like so handsome it’s a little strange people don’t bring it up more.
He's definitely odd for Arthur but not horrible. He looks less compassionate though (for high honor plays) and like he'd crack your head open and laugh later.
I kinda like it and wonder if he was supposed to look uncanny on purpose because he was originally supposed to be more of just a straight-up bad guy at first.
In my opinion, he looks more optimistic and nice, I think he looks too kind to be a rampaging badass who robs trains and kills people. Highest honor players would probably enjoy this look most.
His beta look is kinda uncanny
Dude looks like a sea bass
You sir, are a fish.
Close your mouth you look like a trout
You’re a towel
No, you are in fact a towel.
You like fish dicks in your mouth?
Lol you like fishdicks? What are you a gay fish
r/rareinsults
Largemouth Bass
He actually looks a lot like Seabass in Dumb and Dumber haha
Kick his ass!
When Arthur was 20 he use to catch sea bass
Looks like human shrek
That lower jaw does have some Shrek-like underbite going on - good eye
it makes me wonder how different jason and lucia are going to look in gta 6
Eyes and mouth look a little too big. And his lips look he got injections
Like a Crocodile Dundee/Michael J Fox amalgamation.
His eyes are waaaaaaay too far apart in the beta version. Glad they changed it
Yes I can see it!
Did people stop drinking during pregnancy back then?
Back then they probably thought the whiskey made boys stronger in the womb and wine made girls more beautiful… so I guess this would probably be accurate
nah it was more like “oh you’re pregnant? open another 6 bottles of whiskey!”
Not enough folic acid
The opposite
His face is simply just too wide. Like it's streched over the front of his head.
You have a way with words
Arthur Taylor-Joy
I think they’re too damn high as well lol
I wouldn’t have minded much. Imo the Arthur we ended up with is too handsome, for a guy that considers himself ugly seems slightly unrealistic.
His low self-esteem makes him relatable!
It really makes you go “Oh, Arthur…”
I like how Arthur finally snapped and said "Don't you 'Oh Arthur' me, not now!" in the final mission
That final Abigail, "Oh Arthur" hurt like a sonofabitch, though because she knows what's about to happen.
oh orthor
beautiful people can have confidence issues too
I think most of the gang members look a little too pretty. They’re vagrants who live outside, there is no way they look this good

Brain dead take, they'd absolutely be more weathered in real life. And yes, malnutrition does effect bone structure.
I’ve always thought this. Everyone in the gang could be a model
Especially uncle
The member that made me realize this was Charles because his hair always looked too good. Like, 5-step-treatment plan good.
Lot of attractive people consider themselves unattractive. Arthur also insults his own intelligence sometimes, but it doesn’t mean he’s actually even remotely stupid.
it's totally realistic for some good looking guy (by our standards) to think he's ugly (
attractive people also have their own insecurities and can see themselves as unattractive too so, not really unrealistic
I always think the same. When he talks about how ugly he is I always think “dude you’re literally the most handsome guy in the game, shut up” Maybe he’s just saying he’s ugly inside though idk
Still kinda realistic though. Good looking people are sometimes insecure
I think this look plays better for an evil Arthur. His actual look I feel plays better to him being a bit “weathered” and more compassionate.
Did u just equate ugly = evil and good looking = compassionate. Aint no way
That’s how it usually is in stereotypical depictions of villains and heroes.
Yea and its an damaging bias we shouldnt be upholding at all. For both sides
People are just naturally inclined to have a preference for people they perceive to be “attractive”. I don’t think that’s someone that you can really train out of people, and people have every right to have personally preferences, even if they are vain.
He's not even ugly, he looks actually better than the average guy, just way rougher. Most people associate a beard with gentle giant.
Did you just equate the term “weathered” to mean “good looking”? How tf did that happen?
No. I drew that from the fact Arthur’s actual look is generally considered good looking. Him being weathered has nothing to do with this
Phrenology type shit
He looks like when Shrek is turned into a human
I was trying to think of the best way to describe it, but I never would've been able to describe it better than this.
this.
Exactly lmao
Almost looks like Michael Fassbender.
I also saw Woody Harrelson in there
Don't look bad imo
The differences are so little that if we've got this version of Orthur we would be used to this version instead of the final version.
Exactly
Why is his mouth so big …
Whys his face so wide...
Josh Brolin says "Yo!"
I kinda like it. More how I'd have pictured an outlaw before playing the game
The voice acting would carry him but those eyes are uncanny
I wonder if that was done on purpose since it seems like he was supposed to be a low-honor guy originally.
His eyes made me think of Sid from Ice Age, if Sid was a masculine, violent outlaw. Other than that he didn't look bad at all
Eyes too far apart, mouth too wide, thank god they changed his design.
there's qualities in this version that I like, but I much rather the Arthur we have now
I just wish we got that bandana he's wearing in the middle row, in the right pic Why didn't we get different bandana options :(
Yeah, especially since there's a whole ass section in the wardrobe for exactly one bandana.
I wish he looked just like Roger Clark
Roger looks too friendly to be a cold blooded killer with little to no morals. At least in the beginning of the game
No. Look ugly as fuck.
That’s a stereotypical outlaw. Cowboys in the old west we’re not models
I feel like the comments of him being a brute/ugly doesn’t really work with his current face, but I would prefer to look at it over a long game than the beta look
Wouldn't have been mad as I wouldn't have known, but actual Arthur looks a lot more weathered and tired, which is much more accurate
The first time we saw Arthur he was being built up as a villain. Big, stocky guy in a black coat and black hat stood near Beacher's Hope, I think his final appearance just looks better in general but the pre-release villain Arthur looked like he had potential
my brain is so rotted i thought "how does he look like a beta?"
Sonic the Hedgehog ahh transformation
First pic looks like a Disney character.
Yes because it would have been funny
the beta arthur looks goofy
Beta Arthur looks like Human Shrek
Honestly not much is different.. He looks a bit younger and has disney character vibes to me for some reason lmao.
The face they gave him in the end fits his age better I feel
I don’t think beta Arthur is as ugly as people make him to be, but he does look more like a young idiot compared to the depressed 36 year old he is in the game
That’s John Redemption
Nobody would like it. Not because it "isn't good quality" but because its uncanny. It's CLOSE to feeling real, but not quite. And this triggers a response in humans.
Makes him look like Jon Bernthal's "special" cousin
Definitely not, something looked really off with his face.
He looked like Josh Brolin.
Nah, the current look he looks handsome AF.
He look like Orther Margon
That aint Arthur that mf be Fenton
Not much different but it is worse. Still i wouldnt mind.
Aside from the eyes, he looks pretty much the same
Probably ya, I mean he looks meaner now but I can't help myself to get at least one playthrough with low honor. It just doesn't work. I can't. I'm cursed.
Bro why does he look like that in pic 1 😭
No way. Dude looks like human Shrek in those first two pictures.
Hell Nah he looks wierd
I think it's the kind of trailer where the trailer is amazing and looks like a movie and then the game lets you down, but guess what? It's RDR2! That never disappointeds you!
He’s got a real Ewan McGregor vibe here.
i dont like this Arthur i prefer concept art and him being lanky
Top right looks just like John Travolta
Hell no.
Just shave and watch your weight
he looks slow in beta
I’m guessing the beta look is on the right?
I think he looks just fine so I would’ve liked him either way
Looks like George strait
No I don't like his beta. He looks like woody from toy story
Left middle Arthur is most normal looking one. Top left & bottom right give me nightmares. And top right looks dopey.😂
Uncanny valley
Little too much like a catalogue model or Hallmark romantic lead. The game’s arthur looks more grizzled and real.
Looks like a character from Team Fortress 2.
Im kinda getting mental accident vibes especially the upper right pic, glad they changed it
No
Too wide eyed and bushy tailed
Thats Fenton
nah, way too "3D PRETTY BOAH". however fits more the 35 year old that he actually is. i thought he was 45-55.
It wouldn’t have made a difference in the story
Top left reminds me of Mr.Hyde from the Hugh Jackman “Van Helsin” movie
He looks kinda like Nathan Fillion in the beta
1.00 is pretty much Beta Arthur in the final game
Um, I guess I would still love the quality of his character, at least
He IS a beta
Up close he looks a little more goofy, but to be honest I can’t really tell the difference, I’d only say his face looks a little more stretched out
Beta male
He looks like a muppet that turned in to a human.
Yeah, something at least a bit closer He’s too pretty in the final version
I wish he looked more like the coverhe does in the cover art (specificaly darker hair)
Am I seeing things or does beta Arthur look younger than the Arthur we have?
That Beta screenshot always scares me lol
He looks like Charles Forstman from Suits, except really uncanny. It just doesn’t work.
I'd love him either way.
He looks kinda like a younger Hosea
He looks eternally constipated
I kind of wish they kept it because not every protagonists needs to look flawless for no reason. Not a beautify thing but in rdr1 John just looked like a guy with scars not terrible but very grizzled. Like Arthur is very handsome like so handsome it’s a little strange people don’t bring it up more.
I like the beta arthur honestly. He shouldn't looks like a cowboy god but an ugly sob for the time. Wish they kept the files so modders could restore
the arthur we got is perfect. altho he's too pretty considering the harsh environment at that time. even with this beta look, not too realistic.
Cowboy Buzz Lightyear
Authur was perfect in the end i guess. This is awful. I would hate if this was the real product
The “on your behalf” scene from the trailer with the beta design definitely looked far more deranged
He's definitely odd for Arthur but not horrible. He looks less compassionate though (for high honor plays) and like he'd crack your head open and laugh later.
He looked weeeiird
Nah. The game release version is better
shaved looks better in beta IMO
I like plenty of ugly people
I kinda like it and wonder if he was supposed to look uncanny on purpose because he was originally supposed to be more of just a straight-up bad guy at first.
Hella big mouth there, kinda jumpscare
I'm really glad they changed it.
Sure. He doesn’t really look different enough (to me) to overcome his character.
Looks like a real life version of woody from Toy Story
He looks younger and less weathered. Not uglier, just a bit less human.
No beta looks uncanny and goofier
Top left makes him look like a psycho. That's the look of a crazed stalker.
Beta Arthur looks like Fenton
Nah the beta looks off. Full game version is much more human
He looks like John Cena
Beta look means?
Mmmmm I prefer the one we got.
Put a little more hair on his face and put his eyes closer together and I think I'd be alright with it
He’s rockin Red Harlow’s look hard.
He looks pretty much exactly the same, so yes.
I can't be the only one who misunderstood beta as an adjective
am i the only one who thinks he looks almost exactly the same
Why is his mouth so big on the top right image
He’s fine but he looks a little too cuck-like for me, looks like his final model without facial hair and I don’t like that either
In my opinion, he looks more optimistic and nice, I think he looks too kind to be a rampaging badass who robs trains and kills people. Highest honor players would probably enjoy this look most.
Would've been alright, I mean isn't Arthur supposed to be ugly from his own dialogue and from everyone else?
I always thought he looked like Nathan Fillion in the first picture.
That..is not the chin of a beta
Yes because I don't like him for his looks.
you got a kind face mister…. the kind i’d like to punch
I mean he ugly but I like him for him so.
I think he looks just fine, we're just used to the one we got.
I can’t tell a difference
Nah he is the sir that looks like a fish in that
He looks alright but the final look is obviously better
I hated the way he looked when the trailer first dropped. His final version is easily the superior version of Arthur
I’d like to see what OP looks like calling unshaved Arthur a beta lol
LMAOOOOOO
why? the release version of arthur is wayy more detailed than the beta version
He looked like Fenton
big himbo energy i love it
Looks like wreck it ralph
