In Red Dead Redemption 2 , Micah Bell who's a primary antagonist sport a white hat throughout, and Arthur Morgan who's the main character and protagonist of the story wears a black one. This is meant to play with player's preconceived notions of Westerns and foreshadows the events of the game opposit

While your choices in the game may amount to nothing more than a morality meter, this doesn't quite affect the overall playthrough.

Micah Bell defecting to the Pinkertons is a subject of much contention among the game's community. It's unclear whether he was captured and forced to spy on the Van Der Linde gang in exchange for his life, or if he went to them in free will in hopes of creating the best situation for himself. Given his selfish personality and willingness to turn friends on one another the latter option is the one that makes the most sense canonically. Rockstar Games will likely never explain why he defected, but that doesn't mean a lingering mystery needs to be sol
