Trivia
- โDrew is the father of seven children, six boys and one girl: Bonnie. His surviving son is still living as of 1911, however, he lives in New York, as a banker (according to the son's last letter).
- โDrew is a keen player of Five Finger Fillet, according to some of the comments made by NPC competitors whilst John is playing. Drew is reported to have kept on playing after nearly slicing off a finger.
- โFive of Drew MacFarlane's sons have been laid to rest in the Coot's Chapel cemetery. Cole, age unknown, died of a gunshot to the head, Ethan died at age 19 from trying to milk a bull, Hank died of tuberculosis at age 12, Gus was killed in a bar fight at age 22, and Owen died of chronic diarrhea at age 14.
- โIn "This is Armadillo, USA", Bonnie mentions that he hired a French governess to teach Bonnie "social graces". She later states they spoke Russian, causing her to suspect their legitimacy.
- โNPCs also mention that if Drew doesn't start "moving with the times," he'll no doubt lose his ranch. What exactly he is being old-fashioned about is never specified.
- โBonnie MacFarlane refers to her father as a "bull of a man", which is as much a reference to his physical capabilities as it is to his stubborn nature. However, when he goes missing, she worries about him because, despite his imposing height and solid build, he's "getting old and frailer than he looks".
- โWhile playing Liar's Dice in Thieves' Landing, the player may hear an NPC say "that Drew MacFarlane has been getting into trouble again."
- โAccording to rumors circulating around MacFarlane's Ranch, Drew does not like Gus McCloud, the ranch's blacksmith.
- โHe wears the same outfit as Abraham Reyes in missions "Must a Savior Die?" and "An Appointed Time".
- โDrew is also one of the few characters to say the word "fuck" more than once.
- โIn Undead Nightmare, Drew's actions of placing Undead in a barn could be a reference to The Walking Dead, in which another elderly farmer with many children, Hershel Greene, does the same.
