Thinking about something..

We were talking about it in my buddy chat and here's what we came to:
Jonas was married multiple times; this was a fact of the old story. Ludmilla was not Sophilia's mother, but simply Jonas's current wife. Thus, maybe Olivia and Sophilia were only half-sisters? They had different mothers.
So, who's Joe then? Well, let's look at his name, versus her father's name: Joe and Jonas. Joe could easily be a shortened form of Jonas, right? Perhaps, then, Joe is how Olivia remembered Jonas; in that case, Joe is simply a fragment of Olivia's memories. The KMS version of the mansion (parts of which were integrated in via 2008's event) uses the Masked Gentleman as a man who can conjure lost memories to life. That could be what's going on now.

The other option is that Joe would be a stepfather who married Olivia's real mother.

the first option makes more sense. i mean, she was abandoned and died of starvation apparently. of course she would see him as being a cold heartless bastard, and even moreso if he was her step father.

I was kinda dissappointed reading this now. I kinda thought HH II would have a decent storyline, but this makes me sad. I wasn't here for the first release, and the second one seemed lame to me. I read about the 1st one and was amazed an sad that I had missed it. Now they release this next one and tell us that everything I read in that old thing was wrong.

Hell, half the stuff doesn't even make sense, such as why you need to bring tombstones to Jonas to prove you're serious (which was insanely hard by the way, since the JQ to reach Jonas is now covered in auto-aggro monsters with magic attacks). The whole key thing was decent, but the OCD thing was pathetic. Why would you care about a tidy room if YOUR ABOUT TO DIE BY EVIL TOYS? Then Jonas was really rather evil, and I thought that maybe, just maybe, his ghost had somehow been corrupted by the evil in the house, maybe like the evil of the toys began to reverse corrupt him. Then it just moves it on to how the butler will let you into do him a favor. I thought that perhaps it had been something like "Olivia is possessed by evil, so you need to defeat her to rescue her." But no, it has to be some crap like "Jonas was a horrible father, so she died." The chair I can't even explain, but I'll get it anyway because I'm a damn chair whore.

you DO know you dont have to do that JQ, right? that theres an EASIER way through the library?

Then why are they both existing (NPC Joe and NPC Jonas), at the same time? They just shouldn't have added Joe, that NPC has no place in there.

Man, they should've done something good with this, there's piles of potential everywhere.

ya know, ive seen it said a few times, but, who is joe? ive only seen olivia, the maid (Whats her relevance even?), the butler, the stepmother, jonas, and sophilia. then theres that agent guy, but he doesnt matter, he's just hungry for smores.
