Guild Wars 2

Did anyone else find it disjointed as hell? One minute I was fighting inquest agents, the next minute these “Arcane eye” people pop up out of nowhere, with no explanation whatsover, and then I’m suddenly asked to save this proffessor guy and then thrust into the elder dragon storyline with no build up whatsoever. I dunno bout ya’ll, but I was scratching my head half the time. There was no introduction to the Arcane eye, or why they are bad people. Hell, there was little introduction to any of the enemies I had to fight. And up to the point where you have to chose between the 3 orders, there was little information about the elder dragons or why they pose a threat. NPCs just assumed the player knew…

don’t get this wrong, i love the little people and their culture but up till this point the personal story has had me going “WHAT.”

Sounds about right. During my playthrough of the beginning of the asura story, I thought to myself, “Ok, who is this Arcane Eye? Why is their leader a bad guy? Why would X want to keep Y information for themselves, when it would obviously hurt them to do so? Surely the story will elaborate as I play further!”

And then… nothing. The entire story branch just gets shunted off to the side so that I can choose between the three major groups, and put all the concerns of myself, my krewe, and my race behind me, never to be heard from again.
