Trivia[]
- The "Chauffeur" Merit has a typo in its description ("more then" instead of "more than"). The Fashion Designer also has a typo ("cloth" instead of "clothe").
- There were multiple beta merits not in the game, which are shown here.
Notes[]
- ↑ Several solutions online, dating back as far as the game's release, suggest wearing multiple pieces of armor or using a monster to weaken the knight before battle. However, Maxwell has enough health to take on the knight without dying, and the only impediment to the merit is the fact that Maxwell falls off a horse if attacked, unless the horse has a saddle.
- ↑ The common explanation is that the merit was originally tied to Style points, which are always a multiple of 5, although there is no tangible evidence of this (the textual description loaded into the game's memory does not change between the two English releases). Additionally, using a simple cheat that freezes the Style points value at 314 doesn't work.
