Mission Overview

Story

Part VI

Arthur finds Weathers at Three Sisters and demands the debt from him, but Weathers doesn't have any money. Weathers offers Arthur his wagon supplies, which is meant to last through the winter. However, a number of US Army soldiers arrive to kill Weathers, who deserted from the army. Arthur helps Weathers fight off the army, then his wagon, which had caught fire, is engulfed by the flames and the supplies are destroyed. Weathers tells somebody they can come out, and it's revealed he is with an Native American woman who is pregnant, and Arthur laments that he should've just helped him fix the wagon. Weathers offers Arthur a silver locket to pay the debt, and Arthur can either take it or absolve the debt. Afterwards, Arthur tells the man to get the woman somewhere safe, and he rides off.

Arthur then arrives at the Annesburg mine to find Londonderry. However, the foreman reveals that Londonderry has died, exclaiming "You're too late. Arthur's dead!". He tells Arthur he should check with his widow, Mrs. Londonderry, and Arthur leaves to find her. He finds her at her house in Sawbone Clearing with her son, and she tells him that they have nothing to pay him with, and asks him if he wants her son's shoes, the food they eat, or if he wants her to sleep with him. She tells him that Londonderry worked himself to death to pay his debts and now they're about to lose the house. Arthur can absolve the debt or absolve the debt and give her money. She thanks him, but also tells him they should not be doing this to people. As she walks into the house, Arthur apologises.

Part VII

After feeling ashamed at being used by Strauss, Arthur rides back to camp and confronts Strauss, packing his bag and telling Strauss he won't kill him, but that he probably should. If Arthur has low honor, he will be more insensitive and self-serving, angry at Strauss for wasting his time. If Arthur has high honor, he tells Strauss that he shames the gang and the desperate people who owed him money for damaging their lives. Arthur then throws money at Strauss and tells him to get out.
