Guild Wars 2

PeterThomas.7243:

The titan stuff was followed up with the quest line starting with The Last Day Dawns http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Last_Day_Dawns_ ending in The Titan Source http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Titan_Source_. These were only available after completing the Prophecies main quest line. The quests weren’t very heavy on story; mostly the players were just cleaning up the titans that had wandered the map, but you did get some dialogue stuffs with Adelbern.

And they weren’t present on release either, notably.

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

… nothing about the consequences of the White Mantle leaving a power vacuum in Kryta…

The Shining Blade seized that opportunity to put Queen Salma in power. That’s why we were reporting to her in War In Kryta. Not quite sure why this is causing you confusion.

There’s no confusion; it just wasn’t handled immediately after Prophecies . .. or Factions . . . or Nightfall . . . Really. It lingered for a good long while, one of those open plots which nobody talked about.

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

…and nothing about what happens to Ascalon when the only heir to the throne after Adelbern is dead.

Ascalon became an uninhabitable ghost-infested ruin, that’s what. Go read The Ghosts of Ascalon http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ghosts_of_ascalon if you need more details.

Thanks, I know about that. I’m not going to read the book though, I have bigger books to eat through first.

But I more mean, much like Kryta, immediate aftermath. Of which there might as well been nothing after the titans were cleaned up. Nothing happened until it was a past-tense “oh this happened” when we got into GW2.

Arenanet actually hasn’t been too bad at explaining things up until now, they just take their sweet time at it. Or they put those explanations inside purchaseable items such as the “Bonus Mission Pack” or the physical novels. The threads do get tied up eventually.

The Bonus Mission mostly explained nothing we didn’t already know when it was released, with the exception of Saul D’Alessio’s fate.

As for things not tied up, I could get a list of things never really talked about in Tyria, just that continent.

It was never tied up where the Scepter of Orr is, exactly. It was never tied up what happened with Glint’s egg and progeny. It was never tied up what the heck Galrath was doing, or what was the deal with the Wizard’s Tower. We never got any idea what happened regarding Evennia. There was never any talk about what the heck Majesty’s Rest was and why there was an incredibly dangerous bone drake protecting it. We never found out where the other Bloodstones were, or what happened to the one Gadd and Livia uncovered. Who the heck commissioned Zinn to create R.O.X., N.O.X. and P.O.X. ?

I’m sure there’s more.

With Scarlet, however, they have their work cut out for them. The threads surrounding her story are a tangled mess that I doubt will ever make complete sense.

Not much argument there. But then, it’s still better than Twilight.

Made me laugh.

I’m not talking about the book. I’m talking about the pony. Oh lord the things I have to hear about her make me want to get a few casks of amontillado and some masonry skills.

Lawl. Amen to that.
