Red Dead Redemption 2 became one of Rockstar's most iconic title due to its gripping story and incredible open world full of content for players to explore. Tackling Red Dead Redemption 2 as the witty, no-nonsense Arthur Morgan created a fun dynamic that added a ton of personality to even the most dull or "filler" questline.
Furthermore, Arthur was far from the only character in the game with personality, as many of even the smallest side characters were fully fleshed out as the story progressed. For example, in some of Red Dead Redemption 2's creepiest encounters, players will find characters full of personality, some of which express it without even speaking.
This list of fully fleshed out characters of course must include one of gaming's most hated characters: Micah, the traitor to the Van Der Linde gang. Immediately striking many players as a strange and negative character from minute 1, Micah would go on to commit actions that cause players to hate him even more. This would culminate when players found out about Micah feeding information to the Pinkertons for most of the story, leading to a series of events that would cause Arthur's and other characters' deaths. However, recently one player managed to capture a moment where Micah seems to finally meet his karma as he accidentally walks off a cliff during a cutscene.
Reddit user sleepy-floyd-is-goat captured a clip of Micah seemingly paying no attention and falling to his death during a cutscene that can only be described as poetic justice for the character. It is unclear what exactly caused the event to happen during the cutscene, but it is hilarious to watch Micah lackadaisically walk his way off the ledge: considering the evil he has wrought, including hurting Arthur's horse in Red Dead Redemption 2, it almost seems a merciful end for the character, especially considering the usual fate he meets should players hunt him down as John Marston later in the game.
Other Reddit users seemed to agree with this sentiment, cheering the fact that Micah walked to his deserved death. One user quipped that if they were Micah, they would certainly do the same as they would be unable to live with themselves. Another user joked that Micah's scream was funny and another mocked the scream as well. Perhaps the strangest detail, pointed out by multiple users, is that Micah's scream sounded a lot like John Marston's: considering this was an unintended event, perhaps the game thought Micah was John, but considering John doesn't fall at this point, it is unclear.
Regardless of whether John or Micah were supposed to fall, it seems the game was exacting its own justice on the hated character. With Red Dead Redemption 2's Micah recently being immortalized as a LEGO, it unfortunately seems the actions of the character will not leave gamers' memories any time soon.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
