Red Dead Redemption 2actor Roger Clark says that the most difficult aspect of playing Arthur Morgan was motion capturing the character’s crouch-running animation. Set within a stunning world of vast landscapes and unpredictable wilderness, the Rockstar title remains a joy for any player wishing to explore an open-world title filled with endless possibilities.

While the game’s developers aimed to keep its environments as engaging as possible by including believable and variedgunplay moments inRed Dead Redemption 2’s open world, its narrative is where the title shines, capturing the lives of complex characters who face tough decisions and heart-breaking traumas. Although theRed Dead Redemptionseries kicked off with John Marston’s iconic adventure in 2010, it’s Arthur Morgan’s tough yet likable demeanor that has touched the hearts of so many fans.
Talking withYouTube channel Gamology,Red Dead Redemption 2’s Roger Clark, who plays Arthur Morgan, discussed the hardest thing for him while portraying the outlaw. “People often ask me what was the hardest thing aboutRed Dead 2,and I’ll tell them it was crouch running. We crouch-ran for, I think, a couple of days. Because you gotta crouch run, walk, stealth, run with one gun, run with two guns, then you gotta crouch-run with a rifle. Like, three days later, my thighs were absolutely killing me,” Clark said. Although players wonder what the future ofRed Dead Redemptionwill entail, it seems thatArthur Morgan may impact the next protagonist in the franchise.
Many players will already know how engrossingRed Dead Redemption 2’s open worldcan be, especially when it comes to the minute, subtle details. Clark echoes this by explaining how the immersion in the game is so important to him, and how truly thankful he is to Rockstar for allowing him to have ownership over Arthur Morgan. “Arthur walks like me. He rubs his nose like me. The immersion is so important. I feel really blessed,” expressed Clark. His portrayal of Arthur has left an indelible mark on the gaming community, earning the actor widespread acclaim and awards for his compelling performance, and now, it seems like he’ll be offering his iconic vocal cords to yet another major title.
