Timeline Errors[]
- The date of death mentioned on Don Peppone's cigarette card is 1921 when he died in a deal gone wrong. While in Intermezzo Four, Detective Norman mentions that Don Peppone drowned up at the lake in 1922.
- The date of death listed on Anna McGee's grave marker is 6 June 1968. This is an obvious oversight on the part of the Hangar 13 developers, as it conflicts with the following known dates in the game.
- While Lincoln is recovering from his injuries, the television at Father James' home clearly shows news footage of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination on June 5, 1968.
- An NPC conversation scripted to take place at the beginning of The Way of Flesh discusses James Earl Ray being flown back to the U.S. after his capture at a London airport on June 8, 1968. Both of these known dates make her death occurring on the 6th impossible.
