I always ending up siding with Joshua Graham. Mainly because it seems like the other guy (david?) is just doing a really basic “noble savage / white saviour” routine. Like his “solution” is to just pack up and leave in order for the people to preserve some inherent quality of “innocence” he thinks they possess. He would rather have them hounded for the rest of their existence, than do something that challenges his perception of them.
On the other hand Joshua Graham is a mormon
Don’t the Graham ending have a caveat that the dead Horses explicitly don’t become the next white legs? I remember something about them preserving their innocence or something
Nope, and the Dead Horses are already war-like. The Sorrows are the ones that are relatively peaceful.
Here’s the quote from siding with Graham about the Dead Horses:
And here’s the quote about the Sorrows:
Of course it changes a bit depending on whether Salt-Upon-Legs is killed by the courier, spared, or let go. But it’s absolutely canon that Sorrows and Dead Horses fight and become more brutal.
Daniel mourns the loss of their innocence in the Graham ending and that’s the only ending that mentions innocence.
