Notas del jugador
John Marston encuentra a Sam Odessa al norte de The Scratching Post, sentado en el desierto con una armónica. Sam explica que viaja al oeste, hacia California, para completar una travesía familiar que comenzó junto al mar Negro tres generaciones atrás. John le advierte sobre las bandas y los forajidos de la zona, pero Sam dice que su caballo quedó cojo y decide buscar una diligencia. Se aleja por el desierto.
Tiempo después, John ve a Sam en las afueras de Cueva Seca. Está confundido y sigue lejos de California, tras haber avanzado en la dirección equivocada. John intenta orientarlo hacia el oeste y le aconseja que busque ayuda, pero Sam empieza a hablar de caballos extraños antes de continuar solo por el camino. Cuando John lo encuentra de nuevo en un barranco al norte de Tumbleweed, lleva la ropa rota y ha perdido aún más la razón.
Sam mantiene que llegará a California. John se ofrece a llevarlo al pueblo, pero Sam saca su arma y obliga a John a retroceder. Luego vuelve a internarse en el desierto. Al sur de Tumbleweed, John termina por encontrarlo muerto junto al camino, abrasado por el sol mientras un buitre devora su cadáver.
John registra el cuerpo de Sam y halla una carta dirigida a su esposa. En ella, Sam lamenta haber dejado a su familia para perseguir un sueño que ya no entiende y reconoce que el desierto lo ha extraviado. John lleva la carta a Armadillo y la envía a la esposa de Sam.
Curiosidades
- ◆The appearances are separated by one to two days in-game time. If more than three days pass without the mission becoming active, save your game and load it again. The locations should appear as a purple circle on your map, which will turn to the "?" symbol as you enter them.
- ◆On the second encounter with him, wolves may attack just before the player speaks to him. If shot at, the gunshots will scare Sam and he will run away.
- ◆If Sam should die or if the player's gun is pointed at Sam, you will fail the current part of the mission.
- ◆This Stranger mission may be a sardonic reference to the fact that the entirety of the real-life state of California is not featured in Red Dead Redemption, despite Gaptooth Ridge being inspired by Southern California and Western Arizona, and Tall Trees heavily resembling Northern California. Marston himself cannot swim past the Sea of Coronado, and the mountains surrounding New Austin are impassable, essentially making Sam's journey futile from a gameplay perspective.
- ◆Shooting the vulture that is feasting on Sam's body is an easy way to get a kill towards the Unnatural Selection achievement/trophy. However, the player can't pick up the vulture feathers until after they have examined Sam's body.
- ◆Several of Sam's lines are references to the They Might Be Giants song "No One Knows My Plan". Examples include "I was careless, I can see that now" and "Why the dancing, why the shouting?".
- ◆When approaching Sam at the first encounter, Sam may be playing "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" on his harmonica. This song is heard again after John is killed in the mission "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed."
- ◆There is sometimes a random occurrence around where Sam's dead body is, usually a Damsel in Distress. This means that the vulture will probably not be on the body but the body will still be accessible once the problem is dealt with.
- ◆When you complete a part in the task after the game autosaves you can reload the autosave and the mission will become active without having to wait two to three days.
- ◆If you follow Sam after the second encounter he will walk to the outskirts of Rathskeller Fork and stop there.
- ◆Unlike John, Jack doesn't seem to remember Sam during the third encounter.
- ◆During the second encounter, Sam makes a reference to Clever Hans, a German horse that was believed to be able to do arithmetic.
