Dialogue[edit]
- Thank you for stopping. I need to find my son Samm, and I'm desperate. I've been waiting for the Seraph to secure this camp so that I could approach the north shore of Arca Lake.
- What happened to your son?
- Samm has always been a dreamer. Ever since he was little, he's gotten wild ideas. A few weeks ago, we awoke to find him gone. He left only a note about his latest plan.
- What was it?
- He didn't explain much, beyond roughly where he was headed. He did say that when he returned we'd be set for life and could afford to move to Divinity's Reach.
- I've heard enough. Let's go find your son.
- Can I ask some more questions before I help?
- My boy might be out there, in trouble, as we speak. Please make your questions brief.
- What of Samm's father?
- Did you try going to Seraph's Landing first?
- I did, but the Seraph there refused to let us leave out the north gate. They're afraid to let us take the risks we need to take. So here I am.
- Let's go. I'll help you find your son.
- May I ask another question?
- I've got to be going now.
- I must get going.
- I've got my own problems right now.
- That's unfortunate, but I've got to be elsewhere.
- I've got other things I need to do.
- During Help Megin Volkman search for her missing son
- Please, I can't speak now. My son could be in grave danger. Can we just keep going?
- Of course.
- After finding Samm
- My family owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude for your help. I fear we've got nothing to give you, beyond our thanks.
- Will you be all right?
- Samm was my first child, and nothing can ever replace that bond. But we're strong folk. We'll survive, as we always have. Thank you again.
- You'll be in my thoughts. I wish you the best.
- I don't need anything. You have my sympathies.
Quotes[edit]
- On approach if Help Megin Volkman search for her missing son is ready
- Excuse me, do you have a moment?
Trivia[edit]
- Help Megin Volkman search for her missing son is subtly about suicide; on the surface, it looks like a mother looking for her missing son, but gradually opens itself up to disturbing underlying questions about why Samm just wandered off into danger with seemingly no weapons and no way to survive. Matthew Medina, the designer of the quest, decided to leave it ambiguous with only the subtlest of clues due to the subject matter potentially being too grim for a game with a Teen rating.[1]
