Remember My Family

Spieler-Notizen

• ◆It is the only Stranger side-mission to act more as a story mission rather than the usual Stranger side-missions seen at that point in the game; while classified as a Stranger side-mission due to the " ? " shown on the map, the side mission itself is more closely connected to the main game's storyline than previous Stranger side-missions had been, as it comes directly after and is a result of "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed", thus acting as the final mission of the game and concludes the main storyline fully.
• ◆It is the only Stranger side-mission where the playable character actually knows the stranger in question, as Jack Marston had been familiar with Edgar Ross years before the events of Remember My Family, mainly remembering Ross during this mission as the man who caused the death of his father.
• ◆After the closing credits, Ross's body can be looted ($400).
• ◆Attempting to snipe Edgar prior to the duel will result in an automatic mission failure; as well as simply looking at him through the scope, even if the trigger isn't pulled. The same goes for Edgar's wife and brother in the earlier steps.
• ◆If the player uses a high powered weapon in the duel, Ross may be sent flying back into the river, causing his body to become impossible to loot unless the player pushes it out of the water by slowly walking into it.
• ◆This is the only side-mission which John Marston cannot complete.
• ◆Rob Wiethoff, who played John Marston, did the motion capture for Jack when he duels Ross.
• ◆If Edgar is hogtied, the mission will fail, and the credits will not start. Edgar must be killed during the scripted duel.
• ◆The cabin that the Ross family lives in is the same cabin Irish originally sends John to find a gatling gun in "A Frenchman, a Welshman and an Irishman". Philip Ross' campsite is in the same location at Rio del Toro where Tubman's Gold is buried in Treasure Hunter Challenge Rank 5.
• ◆If you go to a campfire with people there, they may talk about Edgar being killed by robbers.
• ◆Failing the duel and restarting it results in Ross using a different shotgun to hunt each time, either the Double-barreled Shotgun, Semi-auto Shotgun, or the Pump-action Shotgun.
• ◆The player can use this mission to acquire the Semi-auto Shotgun for free; simply fail the duel until Ross has the Semi-auto Shotgun equipped, then kill him and loot the gun.
• ◆This and "I Know You" are the only stranger side-missions that take place in all three areas. It starts in West Elizabeth, you find Ross's wife in New Austin and you find Ross's brother and Edgar Ross himself in Nuevo Paraíso.
• ◆While confronting Ross, Jack mentions that he saw him kill John, despite only hearing gunshots from a distance and riding back to the barn only to find his corpse.
• ◆Listening to Ross's comments before the duel, he can be heard cursing when he misses the shots.
• ◆Based on accounts from his wife and his constant cursing during his duck hunt, Edgar Ross appears rather unhappy with his retirement. He is being badgered by the very organization he worked with, and he can't seem to shoot well anymore.
• ◆Ross' body cannot be destroyed by the Explosive Rifle until after it is looted.
• ◆After Jack guns down Ross, he looks at his weapon in an almost questioning way, perhaps questioning if the decision to kill Ross was something his father wanted, as John always wanted Jack to have a life of peace.
• ◆In Red Dead Redemption 2, the mission "A Fisher of Men" foreshadows the final confrontation between Jack and Edgar Ross on the bank of a river. Additionally, it is also foreshadowed by a conversation between Jack and Abigail at Horseshoe Overlook, where Abigail and Hosea attempt to teach Jack to read; he responds to these attempts with "but, I wanna be a gunslinger when I grow up", to which Abigail replies "over my dead body". 15 years later, Jack would take revenge on Edgar Ross, becoming a gunslinger after the deaths of Abigail and John.
