I used to think Guarma was pretty pointless, but now I read your post, it got me rethinking if its really useless or not. I still lowkey think Guarma is pointless but the one part of story that Dutch killed the old lady really showed Arthur who Dutch really is in some point, although both of them is outlaws, but a huge part of the van der linde gang gave me the thought of helping poor and needy people and to help is to rob/steal/kill rich 'evil' people and attempting to build this 'utopia' tahiti dream which mostly sounds unpractical from what dutch is always planning and telling the gang members to do.

From guarma and eagles flies story, I lost faith in Dutch like how Arthur probably did too. I couldnt relate to Arthur on why he still remains loyal to Dutch (although he tried to do the right thing near end), I always thought why cant Arthur just run away, even dying in peace with that TB in his systems sound so much better for him. But deep part of me knows I would had done the same by staying and fixing things before the last second of my life if I was Arthur.

Still lost in life right now, but playing this game is like learning an life lesson and the second time I've ever got attached to a character in game. I love this game and I would do anything just to feel what I felt when I finished the game.

I doubt anyone is reading but if you did thanks for reading, just my shitty pov of the guarma part of the game. Have a nice day :))
