I think the female characters served nearly zero fucking purpose in the gang as Arthur should've been allowed to fuck one of them

Micah is great when you stop for a moment and realize he wasn't the mole at all and Milton lied.

The story is really hurt by the formulaic nature of it.
>gangs moves to a new area
>gang starts robbing and killing people
>gang pisses off the locals
>gang get chased out of town
>gang is back to step one
Rinse and repeat until Arthur gets TB.
Then there is the nonsensical "Micah is a rat" twist that has so many holes its practically swiss cheese.

Almost as if he wasn't the rat.

As much as it would improve the story for Micah to not be a rat and it really just be Dutch being paranoid, Rockstar definitely intends Micah to be a rat. Doesn't matter that is stupid and makes no sense, thats thats what happened in the story.

It was Trelawny. Milton didn't burn his mole, he wanted the gang to fight among each other so they'd be easier to pick off. Besides, Milton says he picked up Micah and turned him after Guarma, despite there being a mole at the ferry job and bank job in Saint-Denis before hand. And Micah never once openly admits he ratted out anyone, he just calls Arthur crazy.

The game is pretty overt about it when you pay attention. Note this dialog chain in the quest where you have to rescue Trelawny from bounty hunters.
>Charles: You think he'll talk?
>Arthur: Of course he'll talk. He'd sell his own sister to save a train fare! He don't know how not to talk! He don't know where we're hold up though... Least I don't think he does.
>Charles: I don't know why Dutch still deals with him. Always disappearing for weeks on end.
>Arthur: He's got his uses and, well... loyalty matters to Dutch.
>Charles: Of course, but is Trelawny loyal?
>Arthur: Kind of... I guess Trelawny ain't exactly disloyal... just got a big mouth. Nothing's ever straightforward where Trelawny's involved. I've learned that much. He somehow manages to be both lucky and unlucky at the same time. But he always finds some way of paying us back. Just when we think about cutting him loose, he brings us something big. I guess that's his special talent, keeping fish on the line.

To note, Milton and Ross only ever find your camps after Trelawny visited them, never before. And he always leaves before shit goes down. Trelawny is also extremely fidgety when John finds his house in Saint-Denis in the epilogue, where he's living with his family. And he's the only one of the gang who never pays for any sins in any way.

It's not like the characters were bad, they were pretty well written aside from one or two. It's juse that they weren't interesting or likable. They're just really unpleasant and dumb people that I wasn't interested in seeing more of.

Story was very good, better than most of the video games
Characters were mostly bleak, but there were some gems

I loved the part when Arthur watches Mary get fucked by black men. So immersive.
