I’ll never understand how people see anything in Arthur as a protagonist. Whether you play him good or bad, the guy has no thoughts of his own. He’s just a male version of the born sexy yesterday trope. The big payoff at the end of the game is that much like a three year old, he suddenly gains consciousness and self awareness. But you have to play through 40 hours of being a big dumb unthinking Neanderthal first.

He acts that way since most of his life, the only thing that meant anything to him was loyalty.

Throughout the game he's forced to face the unenviable reality of what unwavering loyalty will net you. That unravels the fabric of his entire morality, almost personality.

That struggle is so well told troughout the game, making Arthur's characters developments one of the best of all time. That's what makes Arthur a great character!
