Guild Wars 2

Currently downloading the game, rather excited. Now I do light RP every now and then (more often than not only in my head to connect with the character I play or give him an identity, I did this a lot in WoW) so I wanted to pick something more suiting for a lawful-good kind of guy.

Tied between Commoner and Noble, Parents and Sister and unsure of what god to be blessed by, leaning more towards Dwayna but from what I hear they don’t effect the story much? As for order I think I’d like to be a part of the Vigil.

Thanks for any opinions to help sway this choice! I’ve been waiting to play this for so long and only just recently got a decent enough computer to enjoy the PvE until I can upgrade further.

Vigil’s a good choice for LG. Gods don’t really affect much, just choose one that sounds like a good fit for your character. I prefer the commoner backstory since your npc friend is kind of annoying in noble but either is good. Parents or sister is pretty even but the sister allows you flesh out your character’s history a little while the parents one kind of hands you your character’s history.

IMO the Circus story is the best for human’s. I did all 3, and circus last because I though it sounded weird. However, it was the most interesting.

For a Guardian, my choice would be Noble. I feel that fits the bill for some reason.

Priory was definitely my favourite for Orders (I did all 3 of them as well).

I’d recommend making a few characters and trying them all out though

Hm, a commoner who lost his sister and thus took up arms to make sure no one else he cared for would be lost again sounds right up my alley. (Despite being rather cliche and cheesy, though I can’t help but feel that Nobles story might be a bit more fitting for the class.)

My download won’t be complete for awhile though and I’m more than fine with other input, but as of now I think the route I have in mind feels pretty fitting but, would the more Caucasian humans be Ascalonian or Krytan, though? Ignore the likely typos.

Caucasian = Ascalonian
Krytan is more similar to African

I see, thank you.

Watching the commoner and nobles intro on youtube it seems Noble is in fact more Guardiany than a commoner, ugh that makes the choice all the harder, I’m sure I’ll be able to decide when faced with the choice on character creation, though.

I think I’d go Noble now but the main friend does seem a tad annoying though kind more on the level of comic-relief. If I recall after you get into the orders, you never really hear much of the first part of the story again? I guess I’m just thinking too much on deciding on something that doesn’t matter too terribly much.

I always spend way too much time on these decisions too. The noble’s friend really only takes part in a few missions so it’s not bad enough to be a deal breaker in my opinion, my guardian is a noble and it does seem like a good fit.

Well, after reading a tad more into things it seems Noble will be my background, being barely able to make ends meet as a commoner doesn’t make as much sense as a Guardian who wants to protect others after losing his sister when he can barely fend for himself. I’ll tough it out to 10-20 or so and if I REALLY don’t like it, then well, remaking as a commoner won’t take too long with how fast leveling is in this game from what I hear.

Thanks for all the help guys, really looking forward to this game. (even more so when I get a better processor to handle the more intense stuff)
