Guild Wars 2

I agree with the people who think F&F handled the narrative better than this story section. The little cut scenes in F&F were great, and I can’t see why they didn’t put any of those in this section.

Heck, I would have been fine with the “side by side” cutaways from the original personal story, although I seem to be the only person who actually liked those.

I like them, too, and I like the personal story. There are interesting stories in there, I think.

Why do people need the story thrown in their face to see it?
There is actually quite a bit of story in the updates, but you actually have to actively speak/listen to NPCs in order to get it. Just like in the real world.

I don’t want the story thrown in my face to see it, but I don’t want to read the story, I want to experience the story from the perspective of my character.

The story isn’t disjointed at all. It is just not presented in your face. The trick is to talk to the NPCs and I don’t mean the ones clearly marked but all the NPCs. A lot of them will tell you whats happening to them and in so doing they’re painting a bigger picture.

I don’t want to read the story, I want to experience the story.
It’s a game, not a book.

In Gw1 I didn’t mind reading because I was reading it as I experienced it. In Gw2, you’re TOLD what’s going on, you don’t experience what’s going on.
