Notas do jogador
Anos depois da queda da gangue, John Marston conduz Abigail e Jack por Big Valley em uma carroça. A família deixou a antiga vida para trás e procura trabalho honesto, mas John e Abigail ainda encaram o futuro com apreensão. Jack fala sobre o Rei Arthur e os Cavaleiros da Távola Redonda, enquanto os pais tentam tranquilizá-lo. Eles decidem buscar uma vida discreta em Strawberry, e a história passa a acompanhar John enquanto ele volta a conduzir a família.
Em Strawberry, John se apresenta como Jim Milton ao procurar o lojista da Coopers General Store. Ele aceita um serviço de entrega de suprimentos para Pronghorn Ranch e segue para o consultório médico, onde encontra Abigail. Ela conseguiu trabalho de limpeza na clínica, e Jack está com ela. Depois de conversarem, John retorna à carroça já carregada e parte da cidade com as mercadorias do rancho.
John chega a Pronghorn Ranch e entrega os suprimentos ao capataz, Tom Dickens. Ele pede trabalho no rancho, mas Dickens explica que David Geddes não costuma contratar homens casados. Dois Laramie Boys interrompem a conversa, se servem da carga e roubam a carroça. Dickens manda John persegui-los a cavalo.
John alcança os ladrões, sobe na carroça em movimento e os derruba. Ele conduz a carroça recuperada de volta a Pronghorn Ranch. Dickens reconhece os homens como Laramie Boys e, impressionado com a reação de John, concorda em dar uma chance aos Marston. Ele diz que falará com Geddes e oferece à família uma pequena cabana no rancho. John entra na cabana em Pronghorn Ranch.

Curiosidades
- ◆The mission’s title is a reference to the Rota Fortunae (“Wheel of Fortune”), which in ancient and medieval philosophy served as a symbol of the mercurial nature of Destiny Fate. Many traditional tales of King Arthur such as Thomas Malory's famous Le Morte d'Arthur ("The Death of Arthur") also used the concept of the Wheel in such a way, with some stories and works of art making direct links between the Wheel and the Round Table of Arthur's Knights.
- ◆A common interpretation of Malory's usage of the Rota Fortunae in "The Death of Arthur" in particular is that the Wheel symbolizes the concept that even the greatest of human beings have flaws and make mistakes on their journeys toward their various fates. Thus, a man could be far from the ideal model of morality and yet still ultimately redeem himself and achieve his destiny of being a good knight or king.
- ◆At the start of the mission, Jack rides in the back of a wagon (perhaps intended as a symbolic “cart”) when he has a conversation with his parents about the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. His father John later gives Jack the alias "Lancelot," which is traditionally the name of King Arthur’s bravest and greatest knight. For centuries Lancelot has represented a key figure in biblical motifs associated with Arthurian legends. One of the first and most influential stories to feature Lancelot as a protagonist was the twelfth-century epic poem Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart, in which the hero's quest to save Guinevere has been compared by literary critics to Christ's quest to redeem the human soul.
- ◆John Marston first uses the alias "Jim Milton" in this mission. The name may be a reference to English poet John Milton, whose epic poem Paradise Lost describes the fall of man and shares many themes with the Redemption games. Paradise Lost notably was originally intended to follow the legends of King Arthur before the author decided to make the poem directly biblical.
- ◆John becomes a main playable character again in the series for the first time in eight years following the release of the original game, with his last playable appearance being "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed", which takes place chronologically long after the events of this mission.
- ◆Even though the character of John is programmed to be unarmed during this mission, it is possible for the player to obtain a firearm for John during this mission if, after leaving Strawberry to take the grocery supplies to Pronghorn Ranch, they drive the wagon to Watson's Cabin before going to the ranch and pick up the shotgun in the basement of the cabin. If the player does this, they can shoot and kill the two Laramie Boys who steal the wagon, after arriving at the ranch.
- ◆From this mission onward, John has a different character model, one that is based off of Arthur.
