Hi,
Just some questions that have been bugging me for years, I have never really had the opportunity to ask them. Considering PSO is slowly being phased out now, I was thinking that now is the time for a few answers:
1) What is the connection between Donoph, Flowen and Zoke?
(reason why I ask this question is due to a little secret that can be found in 'retired hunter' question. After Donoph Baz dies, you speak to his daughter on Pioneer 2, I believe Alicia and a port to forest 2 opens, heading near to the river in forest 2, there is a message from Flowen himself)
Here is the message left behind [possible spoiler]
"Heathcliff Flowen"
"...W...Died, year 084,
Pioneer 1 Army..."
The message...
"I think I can guess who might be listening to this...
I'm going to leave you all now.
It's sad we weren't able to see each other again.
But I guess that was our destiny.
It's very peaceful here. But it's very boring because it's peaceful.
Donoph... this is not the place for you. Especially, for you...
Ha ha ha.
My daughter will take care of you. Don't cause any problems, old man.
You've been her favourite uncle ever since she was a child.
I can only imagine those good old days...
And Zoke, I know you want 'out,' but don't do anything stupid.
You're so stubborn. You haven't changed over the years.
Well... I did some things that I'm not really proud of...
Well, those days are long gone. I hope you've learned to forgive me.
Don't let that girl worry too much about.
There's so much I want to say, but I guess I better wrap it up for now.
See you soon, on the other side.
...
... ...
... ... ..."
End message.
-> That message kinda freaked me out when I first went through that quest, simply because I didnt expect such a deep message to be found so deeply in the game. It's almost like a treat for those who uncovered it.
Where they just friends? Or do they have a link i.e. were they all originally on pioneer 1? Were they all training partners from a young age? Are they blood related?
Flowens message apologised to Zoke, and joked about Donoph, so they all must have had a close relationship.
1b) Can anyone develop on what Flowen was 'sorry about' to Zoke? (I'm not sure if we are ever given the answer to this question) He said he wasn't proud of something, did he do something to upset Zoke then?
1c)
''My daughter will take care of you. Don't cause any problems, old man.
You've been her favourite uncle ever since she was a child.''
-> Anyone have ideas as to who Flowens 'daughter' is?? I presume the 'uncle' thing is a term of affection as opposed to Flowen being Donophs Brother? Can anyone shed any light on this quote?
1d)
''Well, those days are long gone. I hope you've learned to forgive me.
Don't let that girl worry too much about.''
-> Who is this girl Flowen is referring to in relation to Zoke???
2) How did these hunters get their legendary status. In other words, why is such a big thing made about these characters in PSO? Did they have their own achievements, and if so, could anyone name them please?
3) I heard that Zoke was particularly unique. Didn't he used swords or something instead of guns? What was his preferred weapon?
4) Did Donoph, Zoke or Flowen have any particular role in the pioneer project? Or where they just hunters involved into searching the planet for life etc?
I hope this thread has been of some interest to you all, and hopefully brought back a few memories.
I hope some of you NPC experts out there can help to answer my questions. I will be very grateful indeed.
