Guild Wars 2

Hmm this is all really interesting. Dessa’s lab being a fractal makes perfect sense based on how the fractal ended but somehow it seems much more complicated then that. For starters the reset takes Dessa’s back before the actual reactor explosion that’s far before the time the fractals themselves were created in game. What if there is a link between the reactors explosion and Dessa’s experiment. She refers some of the asura who died in the reactor explosion as former krew to whom she was still quite close. What if her whole experiment was using the same energy from the reactor and her krew become former krew simply because some of them were working in a different area of the complex and died in the explosion while why Dessa died too her experiment with the mists might have got her stuck in a fractal.

That would suggest quite a few things imho. That some of what scarlet is playing with might be related to the past or the mist itself. Perhaps the steam creatures themselves are some sort of past history of tyria. Or perhaps that the solution to Scarlet’s canandrum of how to escape the sylvari grand design lies in the past.

So many possibilities. I hope Arenanet expand more on this, I cant help but feel there has to be a story here, Dessa’s involvement in this cannot be simply co-incidental, though there is a small chance it was just some extra nice detail to provide some extra immersion.
