You have to put in an irrigation system. We badly need water!</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Nathan: The work has really paid off. Now the whole river would have to dry out to keep our fields dry. I bought this cap for you when I went to town yesterday because I saw that the sun was blinding you when you were out in the fields.</spoiler>

    • Wrench
    • Tool box
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Barkeeper Henry Walker: Nathan is keeping you pretty busy... I don't want to bud in, but I have known Nathan since he showed up here with Abigail. They took good care of you after your parents died. You were only a few years old at that time. But I'm probably saying too much... But you should know, Nathan is not really your uncle, and Abigail isn't your aunt. I have always hoped that they would tell you themselves one day, but if they haven't done so by now, then I don't expect them to do so in the future. I tell you this because the other day I almost got killed when a telegraph pole came down and almost hit me, right next to my saloon. And I guess then you'd never learn the truth. Could you please go and strengthen that telegraph pole a bit? I'll give you the tools of course, and you can keep it when you are done.</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Barkeeper Henry Walker: Great work! I used to get around a lot, and I believe that I'm a good barkeeper, but I'm an awful handyman.

Abigail and me came here without anything. There was nothing here but disease, hunger and a few people. One of them was Henry. We went to your parents farm to ask for some water and food. When no one opened the door we went inside and we found you parents dead in their beds. You looked awful and were more dead than alive. We took care of you... and the farm... believe me, it is better if no one else finds out. Henry is the only one other than us that knows the truth, and it should stay that way.

Your parent's grave is up at the Wolf Creek...
Hint: The position of your parent's grave is marked with a white dot on the mini map (quest giver). On the map the grave is marked with a square symbol, like that of a job.</spoiler>

It would have given us so much trouble if we had told the truth. I have to good recipe against the dark thoughts: Hard work. For our smithy we need coals. Think about it and then judge us.</spoiler>

And who do you think will change the papers to your name? Especially now that the farm is going so badly. We have to stick together and shouldn't waste time with legal stuff. You should take a look at the well instead. It doesn't bring water up anymore.</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Nathan: I'm sorry {PLAYER_NAME}. I didn't want to yell at you. It's just that the problems are starting to get to me.

Why don't you take a closer look at this?</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Barkeeper Henry Walker: Butch seems to know more than we do. But lets put one and one together.

  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Nathan: We should get the burner out of the barn. It's been a long time since I made schnapps. Abigail forbid it to me, but I think it is OK if we have a drink in her honor. She wanted you to have this necklace in case of her parting...</spoiler>

But for that they need to build a bridge over the river... And the best place for this bridge is your land. Be careful, I have a bad feeling about this.</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Barkeeper Henry Walker: Speak of the devil. What did that rowdy want with you? Looked like he was just trying to scare you a bit. I've got something for you. This crowbar will help you with the next person that tries to do you in.</spoiler>

Try to find out who bought a small bottle from there lately.</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Nathan: The investigations showed us that a Mr Brown bought a few bottles of oil? I know that name. Might be that I saw his name in regards to the speculation business in the newspaper.

Suspicion

Resolve: The farm (Investigations)

    • Defeat Butch (duel)
  • Reward:
    • 500 Experience points
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Barkeeper Henry Walker: Did you hear what happened to Butch? Someone made a real massacre with his cattle. You can imagine how upset he is. It sounds like he suspects Nathan. It's not exactly a secret that those two don't like each other at all. Why don't you go over and try to talk to Butch?</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Barkeeper Henry Walker: Butch is a hothead! But you really didn't need to mess him up this badly. But listen to this, a strange guy named Mr Brown visited me earlier. He asked me about Nathan. I kicked him out, I don't like nosey people like this in my saloon. He was also so drunk that I wouldn't have given him another drink anyway.</spoiler>

Butch switches sides

  • Quest Giver: Nathan
  • Prerequisites: Resolve: The farm (Suspicion)
  • Requires:
    • Construct manor-house (10 hours)
  • Reward:
    • Bone necklace
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Nathan: What did you do to Butch? He just came to me, all intimidated, and wanted to talk. It's unbelievable what he had to say! Mr. Brown gave him a lot of money to build this railroad station and to buy our farm. In return, Butch was to transfer the papers into Mr. Brown's name for the ranch, the farm and the railroad station, so that Brown could sell it as a package to the Southern Pacific Railroad company. Both Butch and Mr. Brown would have made a lot of money in this deal. Got it so far? But then, Butch got really nervous when he realized that Mr. Brown is a very impatient business partner who was also behind the attacks on our farm. It's very likely that Mr. Brown is also responsible for the massacre of Butch's cattle. It looks like this guy will do anything to get what he wants. It drove him nuts that he couldn't get me to sell. Butch apologized to me and offered to help fight Mr. Brown. We'll reinforce the doors and windows of this house and take turns standing guard. We won't take any more risks!</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Nathan: It's strangely quiet around here lately. The calm before the storm? I think I told you about Waupee's grandfather and his magical powers? I went back to him yesterday to ask for his advice. He took his bone necklace and fawned it through his herbal fire. The strength of Manitu shall lie in the man wearing it. But you know... I think this is going a bit far. But then, the shamans have knowledge about things that we will never understand.</spoiler>

Meeting Mr Brown

  • Quest Giver: Sheriff John Fitzburn
  • Prerequisites: Resolve: The farm (Butch switches sides)
  • Requires:
    • Letter 1/1
  • Reward:
    • 500 Experience points
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Sheriff John Fitzburn: I've made some inquiries about that mysterious Mr. Brown. Interesting guy. The Southern Pacific Railroad has already been offered two properties and a railroad station, and they are very interested. The offers are for Butch's and Nathan's land. Then Butch's story seems to be true. My contact with the Southern Pacific also told me where Mr. Brown spends his evenings. He says you can set your clocks by it. The place is called Cindy's Diner, and he shows up there every night at 7 p.m. to the minute. After dinner he drinks a bottle of whiskey and by 9 p.m. he's usually completely hammered. At around 11 p.m. he leaves the diner. I suggest that you go there and that you try to find some evidence.

Hint:The position of Cindy's Diner is marked with a white dot on the mini map (quest giver).
 On the map the diner is marked with a square symbol, like that of a job.</spoiler>

  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Sheriff John Fitzburn: If I had known that this guy would blow his top like this, I would never have suggested for you to go there alone. The letter that you took from Mr. Brown is the missing evidence that there is some lawless business going on behind closed doors at the Southern Pacific Railroad. There are always people that can be bribed... I'll try to find out more.</spoiler>

  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Mr Brown: You filthy pig! I have powerful friends at the Southern Pacific Railroad. Very powerful friends! You haven't seen the last of me.</spoiler>

That, what really counts

  • Quest Giver: Nathan
  • Prerequisites: Resolve: The farm (Meeting Mr Brown)
  • Requires:
    • -
  • Reward:
    • -
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Nathan: I've been lying awake all night long trying to find out what the next steps should be. Such a big company as Southern Pacific won't just give in without a fight. There will be others that will try to get our land. And they might be more dangerous than that Mr. Brown. I would never forgive myself if something happened to you because I was so stubborn. I will transfer the farm's ownership to you. It is your choice what you want to do with it. If you want to sell it, I will understand. Don't worry about me.</spoiler>
  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Nathan: Good that you are rational and that you are not trying to convince me otherwise. I was never rich, but I still never missed anything. All the things I love are priceless anyway. I decided to build a small hut up at the Wolf Creek, close to where your parents, and now Abigail, are buried. I'll be closer to her then. I've spent my whole life working really hard, I've decided to spend the rest of my days up in the mountains, fishing and exploring. Farewell, {PLAYER_NAME}.</spoiler>

New beginning

  • Quest Giver: Maya Roalstad
  • Prerequisites: Resolve: The farm (That, what really counts)
Unresolved: The farm (Perseverance)
Unresolved: The farm (Bridge construction)
  • Requires:
    • -
  • Reward:
    • 3 skill points towards Trading
    • $10000
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Maya Roalstad: A few days ago, one of the higher-ups at the Southern Pacific Railroad was in the saloon. He seemed to like my dancing a lot and now he keeps sending me candy and flowers. I heard that Nathan wants to transfer his farm to you. That is your chance! Do you even know what kind of money they are talking about? The Southern Pacific could save tons of money if they can build their railroad tracks straight across that land, and they're willing to pay $12,000 for the farm. I could get that deal started and I would only take a very small part of it as a commission. That would leave you with a lot of money. Don't you think you deserve this after all that hard work for those many years?

Hint: You have three options to end the story. Your choice cannot be undone.</spoiler>

  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Maya Roalstad: I knew that I could talk to you. It was nice to do business with you. You now have the world at your feet. You're rich!</spoiler>

Perseverance

Unresolved: The farm (Bridge construction)
  • Requires:
    • -
  • Reward:
    • 5 skill points towards Stamina
    • 3000 Experience points
  • Quest Text: <spoiler text="Show Text">Sheriff John Fitzburn: I have a hot lead here. It looks like Southern Pacific is entangled in a corruption scandal that goes all the way to the highest level. It will take a while to collect the necessary evidence to start a lawsuit. But I'm sure that we can win and that a lot of farmers can get their land back. It's pretty much a miracle that you still haven't lost the farm. Others who tried to resist the Southern Pacific Railroad weren't so lucky.

Hint: You have three options to end the story. Your choice cannot be undone.</spoiler>

  • Epilogue: <spoiler text="Show Epilogue">Sheriff John Fitzburn: Such a case takes a lot of perseverance. It can take years until the guilty ones are convicted. I'm very thankful that you are going to help me. Nathan can be very proud of you and I know Abigail would have wanted nothing more than that you fight for the right thing.</spoiler>

We would all help you with it. There are enough supplies in the area as well. The Southern Pacific can purchase the full usage rights for the bridge... for a pretty penny, of course. And you don't have to sell the farm. What do you think?
