Emerald Ranch Mystery Revisited (Red Dead Redemption 2)

[@jadedjj5778]

This editing style is amazing, and the voice over with the story makes this very subtle part of the game a masterpiece.

[@johnjassonalfiscar5635]

The voice of the summary is Max Payne in Max Payne 3.

I recall sneaking up to the back of the emerald ranch house and hearing a woman’s voice saying something akin to: “Please! Stop complaining and get dressed!” But it was in a hushed tone, like a mother speaking to a child. Joshua could’ve gotten her pregnant, which explains why her father committed murder.

[@sanmesalz1867]

Dude, I heard the same whining voice... But I wasn't able to understand what she said. My theory is that she is the mother or the aunt of Miriam and act as a warden against her.

Wow man this was really well done. Love the idea of John taking out Eugene and freeing Miriam.

[@simonemezzacapo6544]

I would have loved if at epilogue you could see Pearson taking over the store and saloon on emerald, then if u complete the quest killing the owner and freed the daughter he became the owner of emerald ranch, instead of giving him the generale store in Rhodes wich i found it's a bit of a lazy choice

[@Maestro_Hulk]

Satisyfing epic ending of justice and seeing Miriam finally free was epic. Strange Man is so good at making these vids it's as if he works for Rockstar or used to.. I wish Rockstar actually put an option in the game where you can really free Miriam and the ranch if you kill Eugene. I never knew about this story to the ranch, next time I play this game I am going straight there to kill that cunt Eugene slowly and painfully. Idk if there is a way to make him stop respawning but we can at least keep trying, lol. It's just mind boggling how much content and realistic detail there is in this game, I mean 5 years old and STILL finding new entire backstories like this. This game is like a real world with so much scripted and unscripted content, it's just unbelievable. I don't understand people who don't think RDR2 is the greatest game ever made and how it didn't even win game of the year. God of War is awesome but it's so simplistic compared to RDR2 and not even in the same league.. God of War has an epic story and gameplay to go with that but RDR2 is like being inside a simulated universe of a western movie.

[@zastaryi]

If they released an expansion with all the cut content, with the option to complete the unfinished stories and solve the mysteries, I'd happily pay full price for the game again. Just imagine that we could deliver a letter to Mildred from the mystery of Lenora View, or complete the story of Emerald ranch, or, for example, find the kidnapped princess, or find the last meteorite to get some kind of trinket (it could, for example, signal with a specific buzzing sound when approaching hidden gold or something like that). In fact, the world of rdr2 has so much potential that it could all be connected to online easily and monetized, so that everyone would be satisfied.

[@zastaryi]

I would really like some dlc with legendary horses for online. Imagine how you enter a saloon, and there some drunkard-hunter talks about a horse never seen before, fast as lightning and incredibly beautiful. And offers to sell you a location map for gold. They should be tracked just like legendary animals. Rockstar can make a competition to find unique horses as a random event. Each player could have a unique horse with a randomly generated color and with random characteristics. And once a week to do an event with a particularly legendary horse. Also make it possible to sell horses, or exchange for gold. At the same time, legendary horses take much longer and harder to tame, but give some special perks in return. These things can be monetized very easily: if you want to tame them faster, pay money. In general, horses are the best thing in this game, after the open world.

[@ilovejettrooper5922]

​@@zastaryi I really like that idea of adding horse taming competitions! And here I was, going to settle for them adding in horse taming! :)

[@Christalball93]

This video is an absolute masterpiece!

[@davidchambers44]

It's sad that in spite of all the evidence of this, it doesnt lead to a sidequest to actually resolve it. Maybe even causing the saloon and store to reopen once the quest ends.

[@Diggz24]

They probably wanted to but just ran out of time. That would be a cool spot that changes over time like Apple seed Timber and Leonard's Sod. Depending on your interactions.

[@davidchambers44]

@@Diggz24 I know the railway camp does, but what happens at Larned sod over time? I never really went there much.

[@steakinbacon8593]

True it has too much story behind it to have not had a side quest so it must just be one of the many unfortunately cut side quests that happens in games like this.

[@Anukii]

I REALLY don't like the way Eugene dealt with this and I'm so saddened for Miriam. :/ To kill a person she loves AND to possess her in a home reeks of "If I can't have her, no one can" and the implications of what goes on behind closed doors worries me. We're already hearing comments about the father noting her beauty. If this backstory wasn't known, it'd be easy to dismiss it as basic father compliment. But his actions and reasoning paint a far darker picture. We already know he takes the liberty in beating her.

[@KidarWolf]

Yeah, this unsettles me too. That Eugene's a nasty piece of work all around. I wish Rockstar had given us the chance to deal with him as we see fit, because I've got a few creative ideas for dealing with him - would love to hand him to the Murfree Brood or the Skinner Brothers if that was possible, but since it isn't, I guess I'd just have to settle for throwing him to big unfriendly gator just outside Saint Denis, even if I do have to ride most of the way across the map for that.

[@FloridaCrigger]

The Max Payne dialog is *chef's kiss*

[@JBAlternate]

It's amazing how most of this stuff went over my head while I was playing. The amount of stories Rockstar created that the player isn't directly involved in but can still uncover is amazing. I made the mistake during my playthrough to assume a lot of NPC dialogue was just hollow words simply intended to set a tone and not necessarily to give clues to the player. I can't imagine how many people never had any idea the depth RDR2 had to it.

[@Juan_deep]

Dont blame yourself too much before this game NPCs acted that way this game literally changed that

[@MOONSUN4Life]

The massive amount of work you put into those minor mysteries is astonishing. The Max Payne narration and the way Wegner met his end were nice touches.

[@watsonrooney]

I cannot wait for more. So much potential with all the other mysteries in this game. Could Strange Man finally give us what happened in Blackwater…. 10/10

[@yt_hatesfreespeech]

[@MrBlack252]

I feel like there is quite a bit left out in Emerald Ranch, almost like there was supposed to be a side mission involving the father. It's implied that he abuses his daughter physically and well sexually which is disgusting. Also if you get into a fight with Wegner you can beat him into submission where he runs off thus proving once and for all that all bullies are cowards.

Insane editing brother, but you missed one really important point here. Miriam was pregnant with Joshua and later even had that baby. If you linger around her house on the porch, you can hear this "come here little man, get ready for supper" Her father does not want people to know of her kid. THIS is the reason he kept her captive. Can't believe how you missed this. Also, loved how you incorporated hunting dialogue with this 😂 nice job!

The mystery girl has 2 slightly different body types and if I remember right about 4 different outfit styles. She also has a voice and dialog for strangers mission style. Like "get back here" if you run off while with a companion. Like any side character that can be with you in a side mission or Stanger mission. Seems they were gonna add a mission where you interact with her but cut it or didn't finish.

[@michtibaldo7200]

Isn't there a random encounter in Red Dead Online near O'Creagh's Run of a tied up guy left for dead who asks you to untie him and give him a ride back to Emerald Ranch to resolve an issue with the man who paid to have him kidnaped? Could this man be the bar tender who the owner of the ranch paid to get kidnaped? When he returns to confront him the shooting happens wich leaves him dead... If im not mistaken Red Dead Online is supposed to take place before the Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Line so this could make sense chronologically. At the very least this encounter is related to Emerald Ranch.

This is a great research, as always, Mr. Strangeman..... HOWEVER, there's a hide detail you probably missed. If you stay for a while near the windows of the house.... You can listen an old woman whining (I'm not able to listen carefully her words) but it seems Wegner has a wife or sister who acts like a warden to Miriam. I'll really appreciate if you can search about this, I'm pretty sure you can listen that woman's voice when you stay near that house.

Its annoying that I keep kidnapping Eugene and haul him all the way to the western edge of New Austin and yet somehow he keep s ending up back at that front porch the very next day and still acting like a pre-modern Karen.
