Guild Wars 2

This is something that sort of bugs me since I finished one of my Norn’s personal storyline.
I’m talking about this guy: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Captain_Romke
Having chosen “Lost an Heirloom”, my character was supposed to be his descendant who inherited his legendary warhorn, an artifact of great power, but… when you talk to his ghost in Orr he doesn’t even speak of the horn, let alone recognize you! You’re just the usual random adventurer to his eyes. Has he just forgotten everything when he turned into a ghost?
But not only that! The amnesia seems to be infectious, because even my character greets him by saying “Who are you?”… Who are you!? Just… what? Wasn’t he your great grandfather or something like that?! What about the warhorn and… oh, confound it all! It makes no sense!

Unless this is some kind of unaccounted weird orrian memory-canceling disease that affects everyone who get there, personal storyline should have an impact on the open world and on the reaction of the character you’ve interacted with in your adventures, but yet, it’s always like none of them really knows you outside of it.

Actually it does acknowledge if you’re a Norn character with the “lost an heirloom” story. You can talk to him about it. He’ll acknowledge you as a descendant and also talk to you about the Horn. I loved that touch when I played through it on my character! Maybe you missed it or there was a glitch or something?

Would also like to add that he’s your ancestor. How do you know he was around when you were even born?
