Oyuncu notları

• ◆The mission's title is a pun on the term "Gilded Age," which has come to refer to the 1870-1900 era of United States history known for excesses in wealth, power, and corruption among elite society. The term itself comes from The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, an 1873 satiric novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner. It also forms part of the title of the 1900 Tin Pan Alley ballad "A Bird in a Gilded Cage".
• ◆Also, the phrase "gilded cage" is used to describe a luxurious and restricted environment, which could refer to the nature of this mission which has the player restricted to a rather grand and enjoyable party that they cannot leave willingly.
• ◆Lenny Summers is the driver of the coach that Hosea, Dutch, Bill, and Arthur are inside when arriving at the mayor's residence. Upon leaving, Dutch can be heard saying, "Here comes Lenny."
• ◆In the ending cutscene, Arthur can be seen waking up on a stack of bags instead of on his bed. Dutch can also be seen reading a letter from Mary Linton.
• ◆Originally, Molly O'Shea was going to accompany the gang during this mission, as the outfit she would have worn was found in the game files.
• ◆Javier Escuella, the cut Saint Denis fence shopkeeper, and Archibald Jameson have unused tuxedos which were likely intended for this mission.
• ◆If Algernon's business card is missed then Arthur will have a sketch of Algernon after the mission.
• ◆Bill wears floods while the rest of the gang wear their dress pants at an appropriate length.
• ◆There is an unused cutscene found in the PC files of the game, where Arthur and Dutch were supposed to buy clothes from the tailor.
• ◆When replaying the mission a glitch may occur with Jean-Marc Mercier, where his clothes may change to his plaid suit instead of formal attire in the mission.
• ◆This may also occur with Algernon Wasp, who may wear his casual blue attire instead of his red suit.
• ◆If the player gets caught by Pierre once, he will tell Arthur to go back to the party. If the player is caught twice, he will warn Arthur to return to the party or he will escort him out. If the player is caught a third time, Pierre will tell the guards to remove Arthur and the mission will fail.
• ◆The mission will instantly fail if Pierre catches Arthur in the Mayor's office.
• ◆It is possible to keep the tuxedo that Arthur wears during the mission. The player must abandon the escort and cancel the mission. They will be returned to Shady Belle but will still be wearing the tuxedo. However, it is recommended for players to make an extra save as the glitch will cause all of the weapons to disappear from the player's inventory as well as the weapons on the player's horse.
• ◆The player can overhear a woman who Arthur can serve drinks to talk about how she wishes her husband would die quickly due to his sickness, with another woman replying "Tuberculosis is a strange disease," an indication of Arthur's diagnosis in the next chapter.
