The Mercies of Knowledge

• ◆Players should complete this mission before "Our Best Selves", as it will disappear and not be available afterwards.
• ◆Despite only being available for Arthur to complete, the mission description in the save game menu never mentions him - other stranger missions only available to one character mention said character, while those available for both avoid mentioning either. This implies the mission was originally available to John as well, but was removed for unknown reasons (probably to stay historically accurate as by 1907, the electric chair was no longer an experimental execution method). If the game is modded, John has his own dialogue but no facial animations in cutscenes.
• ◆After the player delivers the moonshine to Mr. Bell, he may remark "all this wonderful methanol." Methanol is a non-drinkable alcohol made from wood - ethanol, made from grains, is what is supposed to be in moonshine.
• ◆The player can either "Ask" or "Demand" the permit from the Police Chief. If the player chooses the first option, the permit will cost $100 initially and $50 after negotiation. If the player demands the permit, it will cost them $150 non-negotiably, as the Chief would "not like" Arthur's tone.
• ◆In Part VII, Henri Lemieux can be seen shaking his head and leaving in dismay at the repeated failed attempts to execute McDaniels, implying Bell had invited the mayor to come and view the use of the electric chair; however, Lemieux will still be shown even if the player has already spared Jean-Marc and received his letter revealing that Lemieux is no longer in office.
• ◆If Arthur returns to Benjamin Lambert for a bounty hunting mission after the execution, the Chief will comment on this event and call Arthur a lousy executioner.
• ◆During Part VI, when returning McDaniels, hostile animals and wanted levels are disabled. The player can explore Blackwater without the risk of Pinkertons or lawmen, but New Austin is still guarded by a sniper.
