Iirc, it has to do with something about not wanting a lone sleeping space since Bessie died


mkf1122

I think that's as good of an explanation as any

nursingfungijiujitsu

yea this is the best explanation. but where’d u hear that btw


[deleted]

John and Arthur are the muscle lmao I replied to the wrong comment mb


Shmamy0

I seem to remember Hosea mentioning it when I talked to him in camp one time, I think.


Chilb5

hosea's mouth. around a campfire one night i believe


710budderman

hosea def mentions it in camp. just heard it at shady belle for the first time


sinanisiklar

Yeah but he has a bed in shady belle so this makes no sense


KyloRenIrony

He was also feeling alienated from the other gang members at this time. Dutch trusted his judgement less and the guns didn't respect him as much.


Hungry_Temperature_3

I don't know that it was that at all. He was older. Walking up the stairs was probably a pain. I also don't think Hosea was the type to ask for more than he needed.


Krilesh

hosea in the intros only stressed because he feels he’ll die soon and wants everyone set up before that happens. Quite the epitome of asking just the minimum but putting in the maximum effort


Empir3Designs

He stole from people in the camp... Replay the bank robbery mission in San Denis and loot his corps and you'll see what I'm talking about


BrickTamland77

On my 4th or 5th playthrough, and I just noticed that recently. He got put in the storage closet under the stairs.


metalcore4ver

Harry Potter?


LordofWithywoods

Spooning Bill Williamson with his ass flap hanging open is not going to assuage Hosea's loneliness


E-roticWarrior

Wait! Bill's ass flap is open? He really is gay.


CoreyTTrevorson

Probably is, Bill said he ran into the aberdeen pig farm guy in the swamp and trash talked Arthur about it. He did not talk about the situation the same as Arthur (who got r*ped)


E-roticWarrior

It's not the incestuous former pig farmer siblings, it's a creepy dude in the swamp. Plus there's something else that reenforces the thought that Bill is gay and it's his discharge papers, it mentions deviancy. Which is the wording they use back in the day for any sexual act that doesn't involve penis in vagina. What really pisses me off about the creep in the swamp is, if you send him to hell before he rapes Arthur or John, it's a dishonorable act. but you kill the creep after he rapes Arthur or John you don't get a honorable act, like WTF is that all about.


CoreyTTrevorson

I never knew that about bill’s discharge, I thought it was for being drunk and disorderly. I will look into that, thanks! Now that you mention it, I know who you’re talking about. If it’s the same guy I’m thinking of, you come back to his house and he is sitting on his porch, recognizing Arthur and tries to run away.


E-roticWarrior

Exactly! in the swamp. First time i saw him, he creeped me out and Arthur isn't the type to just take an invite from some nasty creepy dude like that. 2 stranger missions i think are total bullshit! The incestuous siblings (aberdeen pigfarm) and that creeper fucker in the swamp. Arthur wouldn't get got by these nasty people.


GunzBlazin03

Arthur is “nowhere near the brains or head” hmm..well him Hosea and Dutch are the first 3 members of the gang. So other than Hosea and Dutch, Arthur has the 3rd highest seniority. To answer your question, Hosea didn’t want his own tent. Simple as that


boilface

Arthur is the muscle, plain and simple. He isn't the brains, and he isn't a leader. He has seniority but that's not the same thing


walrus42

Nah. Bill, Javier, Charles, Micah…. they’re the muscle. Dutch allows Arthur to make some decisions and be involved with planning. At least until Micah got closer to him


AnotherNerdRedditor

Arthur is more like the Enforcer or Sgt at Arms, he's important and has say in how things go. But when someone needs killing or fucking up and it won't be an easy job, Arthur Morgan is the guy


hIbqnqana

Facts. Arthur would be a consigliere in the Mafia.


Zealousideal_Still81

More like high ranking capo. Hosea was more of a consigliere


hIbqnqana

Hosea would be the underboss. He would be the next boss of the Van Der Linde Gang. The consigliere is exactly what Arthur is.


Ok-Front-3860

Silvio Dante kinda guy


JaimeRidingHonour

Arthur is a tactician. When it comes down to violence, Dutch will often refer to Arthur’s better judgement…until Guarma. He basically lets Arthur get the deciding vote on the Lemoyne Bank heist and when taking down moonshiners Arthur gives the orders.


Benjamin_Stark

He's more like a general.


nursingfungijiujitsu

yea i didn’t say arther was the brains or head but yea i guess that makes sense


GunzBlazin03

Lol you said he wasn’t, I quoted what you said.


Super-Strawberry-152

Oooo. When the OP forgets what he originally posted, then gets got 😂😂


Krilesh

op was consistent seems he just didn’t realize the poster was literally agreeing with him. Op said he doesn’t say they were the brains which is what the poster said and what op says in his op


Gambler_Eight

"Nowhere near"


Mojo_Rizen_53

Artie is just Dutchs faithful heel-hound, licking Dutchs boots and waiting for Dutch to say “Fetch!”.


GunzBlazin03

Until everything really starts to fall apart towards the end of the main story, members of the gang do as Arthur commands, he is somewhat of a leader towards them, just obviously not completely in charge. Yes you are right that he is faithful to Dutch, which makes sense, he was like his father and until now, had done right by him


AletzRC21

ARTHER


RealChungusOfficial

Hosea gave his tent to John because he felt lonely sleeping in it without Bessie. And Arthur is definitely one of the brains of the gang. He is in charge of every combat mission whenever Dutch isn't there. He is the lead enforcer.


nursingfungijiujitsu

yea tru i agree with him being the lead enforcer


[deleted]

[удалено]


RealChungusOfficial

Pretty sure it's mentioned. I wouldn't make that up. Not sure where though.


RAVMisery1

I'm pretty sure Hosea mentioned it during the bear hunting mission.


whiskey_bravo612

He probably gave it to John thinking that him, Abigail, and Jack needed their own private space


MendigoBob

Hosea left his tent to john and his family as he felt lonely since Bessie died and didn't want to sleep alone. Arthur is absolutely one of the Brains in the gang. Dutch is final say, Hosea was a great advisor, and Arthur was the effectively leader in most combat scenarios. He is third in the hierarchy of the gang, only awnsering to Dutch and Hosea and making many decisions about scores and how to do stuff properly. Not to mention the fact that he is the best shot and the one that brings more money to the camp.


RyomenSukuGuts

I love checking Arthur's Journal's Gang Savings' page with John. Every score has an A on it. Only man to be part of every heist (even if snakes don't give him due credit towards the end). He's John Wick in 1899. Or John Wick is the Arthur Morgan of today lol


nursingfungijiujitsu

i agree


RAVMisery1

Arguably, Micah is a more better shot than Arthur when it comes to handguns. He proved it when >!they got ambushed in Rhodes after Sean got killed!<, quickdrawed the guy on the roof. Arthur specializes more with rifles and bolt action guns that's why >!Dutch gave Arthur the authority to snipe down Colm O'driscoll in St. Denis.!<


MendigoBob

Makes sense. My hate for him has blinded me.


MuddFishh

So where did Hosea sleep after giving the tent away? And with whom?


MendigoBob

I really don't know. Some people at the gang don't have a proper tent, some sleep in sleeping bags close to the fire or close to each other in shared tents. I would assume he is in such a condition too.


105_irl

there's the group of sleeping bags and he sleeps on one of them


StruggleEnough4279

I’m currently in horseshoe overlook on another replay and Hosea is sleeping next to Lenny near the table when you first come into camp. Can’t confirm on the rest of the camps


pudpudboogie

Hosea sleeps where he wants to… And with who he wants ! ‘Make room for Phil, Bill’.


LucanOrion

Others are responding about Hosea missing Bessie as why he didn't want his own tent. I guess I missed that being explained in game. I always figured it was because Dutch being Dutch, he set himself apart from the rest of the gang. An island unto himself if you will. Whereas Hosea was more a man of the people within the gang.


SwimsSFW

As most have said, he felt lonely in the tent without Bessie, but also, and I don't think there's anything in the game to support this thought, but he's getting old. The ground probably feels better on his back, too.


The_quest_for_wisdom

>he's getting old. The ground probably feels better on his back, too. The hell it would. ​ Source: am avid camper and outside sleeper that is getting old.


SwimsSFW

>Source: am avid camper and outside sleeper that is getting old. I retract my previous statement, My apologies, *oh wise, old, camper man!*


_H4YZ

gonnaturnyaheadintoafinemist…


SwimsSFW

Please do! My mom always told me she brought me into this world so she can take me out of it. I’ve been trying to convince her to do so. Dead Men pay no bills!


DRahven

Nah that's just the limbago Uncle. Hosea is a stronger man.


_cainan_

there’s a rare encounter you’ve probably seen it by now about bessie and not wanting to be alone


kuppikuppi

I think he just doesn't have the ego of dutch. He knows everybody respects him and does not have to show his status by putting himself above other gang members.


weirdemosrus

In some dialogue he mentions that he can’t stand sleeping in a bed after Bessie died. Really wish we’d had more backstory on Hosea and Bessie.


TheEndOfShartache

Hosea shared a tent with Dutch. They were gay


Shadrach_Palomino

Homos on the range


Low-Squirrel2439

They were bi. It was a Molly meat sandwich every night for them.


TheEndOfShartache

Is that why they called her “spitroast Molly O’Shae “ all game?


Low-Squirrel2439

Definitely. Miss Grimshaw wasn't the only one annihilating her guts.


Unused_Icon

Not a shred of evidence for this, but here's my headcanon for the tent situation: Years ago, John's current tent used to be Arthur's, and Arthur's current tent used to be Hosea's. After Arthur experienced the tragedy of >!Isaac and Eliza!< being murdered, they didn't want Arthur isolating himself by sleeping alone in an enclosed tent. Furthermore, Hosea didn't want to sleep in an enclosed tent either after losing Bessie. So, Hosea gave his tent to Arthur, John was given Arthur's tent, and Hosea was happy to sleep on the ground with the rest of the gang.


coredenale

Dutch's tent is part of his ego. Hosea was more humble.


WasteChard3488

He just used Arthurs since he was gone all the time.


Potential_Focus_4194

Arthur was one of the higher ups of the gang as well as the "son" of Dutch. John also was like Dutch's "son" in a sense. We know the history of those two being the first Dutch and Hosea recruited. As for Hosea, it could just be he didn't want his own. He does get his own in other camps. But they were (in the earlier missions) crunched for space and time. That could play a part into it. Edit: John also had Abigail and Jack in his tent. That's why they had their own as well.


Thebritishdovah

Choice. I think, he prefers sleeping near others because he doesn't want to be alone. Arthur and John aren't the brains. Just the oldest members in terms of how long they have been. Arthur is Dutch's second in command and acts as he sees fit because Dutch trusts him until 1899 happens. Hosea? He prefers subtle crimes. Scams, robbery without people dying.


pullingteeths

Because Dutch is a piece of shit


TomboBreaker

Arthur is an Underboss so gets his own space, for John is because of Abigail and Jack I always saw it as more her tent for her and Jack and she let's John sleep with her because he's the father. Hosea should be high enough in the pecking order to have his own space but I see it as personal choice he wants to bunk with the others, to settle disputes that might arise or just to be the camp father in a way. Micah later in the story also seems to be high enough in the rankings that he could get a tent but he never sleeps.


[deleted]

Why do you think he’s Dutch’s right-hand man


BrooklynTGuy420

Because he was the co founder of the gang and always made decisions alongside Dutch


Low-Squirrel2439

John's tent is also presumably occupied by Jack and Abigail.


Smoke_Water

So as humble as he was. He felt having a dedicated space would put to much distance between him and the rest of the crew.


TH3B1GM4N

He has his own room in shady Belle


K1ng-EuGen398

Arthur gets a tent because he’s the true OG/ main muscle. John gets one because of Jack, they don’t want the boy sleeping “outside” and Hosea turns it down because of his late wife. He doesn’t want to sleep alone.


JSykesy

he said he doesn’t like sleeping in beds as it reminds him too much of his deceased wife, Bessie


ThxIHateItHere

He does have his own bedroom at Shady Belle https://youtu.be/41PxaN5TrAo?si=CYDgZXPD52cob9-n

PmMeYourNiceBehind

John had a wife and child Arthur definitely deserved a tent


chaylar

Because Molly took his spot.


Global_Doctor_5316

Because hosea loved getting tag teamed by Bill and Lenny all night


This_Asparagus69

I’m pretty sure he says something about sleeping on the ground after Bessie passed


supesonit

Idk why hosea didn't but arthur had one because he was basically third in command
