Behind the scenes[]
Black Widow derives its name from the habit of female Latrodectus (black widow spiders) to cannibalize their mates during or after mating. It is also the official FBI designation for a woman who murders her husband(s), usually in a serial fashion and/or for monetary gain.
Bugs[]
Due to several scripting typos, ranks 2 and 3 provide no actual benefit to pacification success rates with Intimidation, and instead increase difficulty.[verified]
