Flowers for a Lady

Note del giocatore

• ◆This is the first Stranger side-mission that becomes available to the player, since it becomes available after the main storyline mission "New Friends, Old Problems".
• ◆This Stranger side-mission is an excellent way to progress through the early stages of the Survivalist Challenges. Rank 1 requires 6 Wild Feverfew, Rank 2 requires 6 Desert Sage, and Rank 3 requires 4 Red Sage.
• ◆It is possible to go behind the house on horseback and see Annabel in her entirety through either the window or gap in the wall. Annabel is clearly dead when viewed like this.
• ◆If playing as Jack, Billy will still say he and Annabel have been married for fifty years, despite the actual year being 1914, thus they would have been married fifty-three years.
• ◆If you re-enter the cabin and bump against the corpse, her head will fall off. If Billy witnesses this, he will be shocked and say something about it.
• ◆If you return after a day or two, Billy will be outside talking either about the tea or another general invite into the house. However, Annabel is nowhere to be seen. Her rocking chair can also be seen outside the house with no body.
• ◆The corpse is somewhat reminiscent of the 1960 film Psycho, in which a delusional son believes his mother to be alive after her death and keeps her hidden from the world, leaving her corpse in a rocking chair. The hair of Annabel is similar to the mother's.
• ◆The story is hauntingly similar to William Faulkner's 1930 short story "A Rose for Emily".
• ◆If the mission is started as John but finished by Jack, Billy will say "You look like a man who passed by here a couple years ago".
• ◆If you put on subtitles and initiate the quest as Jack Marston, the subtitle will have a spelling mistake in it. When Jack says "Well, that very kind of you." the subtitles read "r/Well, thats very kind of you." It can be assumed it is just a coding prefix that was overlooked during production.
• ◆This was fixed in the Game of the Year Edition.
• ◆Annabel's blackbird pie may be a reference to the well-known English nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence".
• ◆After you've completed the mission, if you run into the shelves behind Annabel, her head will fall off.
• ◆John and Billy call each other by their names, even though they never told each other what their names are. Strangely, Billy refers to him as stranger at the beginning of the ending cutscene, yet at the end of the same cutscene as John is walking out the door, Billy refers to him by name. Interestingly, this is not the case for Jack.
• ◆Oddly, Annabel and Billy are not present in Undead Nightmare. This especially strange considering the contents of their mission, and the fact that other dead characters from other stranger missions like Alma Horlick and Peter Turner are.
