I want to know if Kate goes back to her man. Well, he try to get her back? Will Kate's best friend who stole him, do the right thing and send him back to Kate?

I also want to know if Kate's mother is going to marry that retired singer, or keep living in sin. She is setting a bad example for children who play this game.(grin)

The makers of Syberia 2 have said that they are going to phase out the use of the phone in the next game.

Well, personally, I liked the phone calls. This was one of the few games where I felt like I knew the character as a friend. The phone calls were a bit strange at first, but they sure helped make Kate into a real person for me.

Hey, I think it's great to get involved in a story, no matter what part of the storyline

that's how a game gets a wider audience.  I think Kate will meet a new guy in Syberia 2, who knows but that's what I would assume.

I think Sharon A. Mann did i great work with the voice part. All those emotions and she just has a voice i really like listening to - she'd be great for telling bed time stories

. Sharon is also a voice of Carla Valenti in Fahrenheit. Kate and Carla do sound similar, i'd noticed that even before i saw Sharon talks for both of them (ok that sounds weird

)

Hello There!  

Now you know that I had to hark about Kate Walker.  Just simply cannot help myself.

I just love her.   I mean the character made by Benoit Sokal.

In terms of the phone calls.  Yes, I loved them because they gave an insight into the character of Kate Walker.  

Without having to have videos or cut scenes of her family, boss, and boyfriend, you got to feel out how she thought about her job, her life, and her relationships with the people in her life.

A cold mother that had no time for her, except to call her whenever she had the time, and Kate Walker's need for her mother's approval and "love", which was handed out to her by doses.

The overbearing boss who merely cares about Kate getting the job done, so that he can carry on the business at hand, regardless of any hardships or vicissitude's she may have to deal with in carrying out her responsabilities.

Her cad of a boyfriend, who only thought about himself, and her willingness to put up with his selfishness, and personal needs, regardless of Kate's own needs.

Yes, to me the phone gave a very intimate insight into her psyche.

She desperately needed her mother's love and affection, and her acceptance of the few and far
in-between contacts with her mother.

Her codependance on her boyfriend, where apparently she had been a doormat for his needs.

And her ambition to kiss the bosses ass just to get ahead.

How many of us have not done the same.

How many women are in a loveless relationship, that they maintain just for the sake of a little intimacy, and the need not to be alone.  Even if it is with a selfish man.

How many women carry on relationships with a mother, at arms length and are willing not to make mother realize that at once they are grown up and should be treated as adults, and on the other hand make mother realize that they need more than a phonecall in between appointments with a hair dresser.
Just because it might upset mother to do.

The phone and the phonecalls received gave me a look inside how she felt, and how she carried on her life.

It also enabled me to see her development from a mousy doormat into the beginnings of an assertive and confident woman.

I see the phone as the medium to enable me to gauge her progress as a "real" human being.

That the makers of the game are no longer going to put in the phone is understandable.

She has by virtue of the problems she has faced, dealt with and solved, along with the decision to follow Hans in search of the mammoths, blossomed into a self-assured, determined, and wonderfully reliant woman.

We do not need to hear the family, friends or job phonecalls any longer to know what type of a person she is or become.

We have had a front row seat into her transformation into a "real" person.

She is just beautiful to behold, admire, and appreciate.  Her character development by Benoit Sokal has in my opinion being nothing less than brilliant.

Your reaction to my little playful fun has given me lots of laughs.  How would you have reacted if I'd mentioned that Kate's rumbly tummy kept her awake all night farting and belching because she hadn't eaten and had the most crippling wind?

Then as a result of running around in the snow she got a cold and started picking her nose when no one was watching....   [smiley=rofl.gif]

It's not blasphemy you know, to extrapolate a character from a story into a life of normal activity.  And btw, it's highly unlikely that Kate is a virgin so there's really no need to treat her as one.  Any woman who dresses in pants that tight probably has to lie on the floor to zip them shut.  She knows what her bum looks like in them, that's why she bought them a size two small, let me tell you.

So nice to see dear Anne's quick wit in this thread.
