You can talk to Bill about the following:
- Tell me about the Town. (unlocks The storm?)
- "Me and my son went into that town, weird name of SilverLoad. We went there to buy supplies and maybe catch up on whats been going on. The folk there were very unfriendly, the place felt as cold as a graveyard . As we left that unholy place I swear that storm followed us."
- How did you get here? (unlocks The Catlins?)
- "We have been on the trails now for about a year, we were heading for the frontier Mister. Me, my dear departed wife and our son Ben have travelled with the Catlins all of this time. After Mary, God rest her soul, died the Catlins kept me strong 'an helped me keep it together with Ben."
- Tell me about your Son.
- "My boy will soon be nine years old. I pray to God you can bring him back to me!"
- About the Raid? (unlocks Devils?)
- "It was last night when they came screaming from that storm! It was as if they had come just for the children. John managed to get a shot at one of the raiders, but took a bullet in return and now lies wounded in his wagon. The devils took Ben and there was nothing we could do. I would go after them myself but I dare not leave the others here unprotected. DEVILS!"
- The storm? (disappears after asking)
- "Fierce thing it was! I thought we were going to be swallowed up by the sand! I thought I saw shapes moving in the storm, but I guess it was just the sand gritting up my eyes. I know better now."
- The Catlins? (disappears after asking)
- "John and Joanne Catlin. Joanne has been like a mother to Ben since the death of my Mary. She is a good woman but I don't think she's warmed to you much."
- Devils? (disappears after asking)
- "Devils in the bodies of men! Eyes like the fires of Hell! Lord protect us all."
- I feel exhausted, can you help?
- (first time only) "I`ll give y` what I can Mister." (gives dried beans)
- (after first time) "I would help y` but I have nothing more to give."
- Inventory.
- (if you try to give him the Catlins Bible) "That looks like the Catlins Bible, you keep it Mister."
- (if you try to give him your gun) "If you are to find my son you`ll need your gun."
- (if you try to give him other items) "Thank you mister but you keep it."
- Goodbye.
- "Please hurry I fear time is running out."
