12. Mothers & Sons

There's a brief sequence in the trailer that unfolds without a ton of context, but will nevertheless feel somewhat familiar to fans of the franchise considering how the last game concluded.

A woman can be seen weeping over a grave, all while Morgan talks to her young son, and creepily tells him, "Maybe when your mother's finished mourning your father, I'll keep her in black, on your behalf."

Quite what this means is up to interpretation, but it certainly makes Morgan seem conniving and slimy, which is pretty much exactly what you want out of a morally ambiguous RDR protagonist. Could Morgan have just killed the boy's father, perhaps?
