==Trivia== | |||
* Roxanna's comment, "What are you doing?! This is supposed to be archery training!" appears to be triggered regardless of whether the player character or Roxanna herself enter melee, which isn't exactly easy to avoid considering Roxanna's "safe distance" is only about 50 meters and wolves immediately turn and charge the player after being shot once. | |||
