Guild Wars 2

Show up at a peaceful camp. “Defeat the Undead Offensive” pops up. Okay, fine, I’m an engineer, I’m good at point defense. I walk up to a gate to wait for the wave of risen to show…

…the risen show in a CUT SCENE. They casually walk into the village murdering everyone while my PC stands there doing absolutely nothing. They casually surround my PC while I can continue to do nothing.

Finally the cut scene ends and I am immediately ganked on all sides by enemies I should’ve been able to do something about long before that point if I hadn’t been forcibly restrained by Mr. Camera Man’s attempt at winning an Oscar for cinematography. I’m downed three times total before I can finally get ONE HALF of the battle under control and then approach the second half rested and ready to pound them.

Look, if you want an epic battle, fine — but don’t take control away from me and then put me in a curbstomp situation that should not have been one in the first place. Thanks.

(Also I’d rather mourn my mentor who was fridged to make way for Traehearne than this random dude, but whatever, I’ve given up trying to care about the story by now.)
