### General

* upon implementation, the Bobbies shared surnames with the other NPCs.
* All of the Doctor's surnames reference British poets from various periods of time.
* In the PAX East 21735 build, the surname 'Altringham' was accidentally spelled 'Altringham .' with a space and dot at the end.
* Every time the player reloads a save, randomly generated NPCs will always have a different name than before. This makes it easy to determine who is and is not randomly generated.
	+ Despite this, some NPCs may have their appearance change every game, or have the same appearance and only change the name. Such cases applies for Margery and Bob Flowerdew, Gerald Browning, Sandy Fothergill, Celestia Worrall, Ned Chaney, Dickie Bow, James Watt, etc.
* The Headboy at the very top of The Watchtower is called *Marc-André Voyer*, this is a reference to the 3D Environmental Artist of the same name who worked on *We Happy Few*.
* All of the Constable's surnames reference British painters from various periods of time, apart from Whistler (*James McNeill Whistler*) which the Compulsion team mistakenly thought was British.
	+ However, there was a British painter and soldier named *Reginald John "Rex" Whistler* 1905-1944, who died by a mortar bomb during World War II.
* Some of the surnames contain two surnames put together, this is called 'double barrelled surname'. This is quite common in Britain as to preserve a family name that would've otherwise disappeared without a male descendant.
