Guild Wars 2

Please in future story content, make my character and the friends I team up with, the heroes of the story. I disliked having a group of npcs (Destiny’s Edge) stealing my thunder, and on top of that I don’t find the characters particularly well written. I find them rather bland, and Logan Thackery especially gets on my nerves.

Throughout the story we make moral decisions that affect our Charisma, Ferocity and Dignity. I would like to see these personality traits be used to represent how my character, and my friend’s characters act during a dialogue. I would like to see my character in conversation with other party members, instead of with someone from Destiny’s Edge.

I would also like to see my class make a difference. I was really taken out of the personal story, at a point in the story where an npc necromancer had to explain to my 250 year old necromancer that talking to the dead is nothing to be afraid of. Such things should simply not happen. I would like to see the story take my class into account. There should really have been an option for a necromancer-player to talk to the dead herself, instead of having to enlist the help of an npc.

Also since I am playing a necromancer with ferocity at 100%, and looking like a Disney villain, it would be nice if npcs didn’t treat me like I was a kind and benevolent person. I understand that the player is supposed to be a sort of all round hero… but can we have a little more personality perhaps? Can we be an anti hero? Or a bad girl with a noble heart? I’m not exactly playing the kind of character that an npc should walk up to, and invite to a pick nick.

I’ve never been one to care about the Destiny’s Edge members at all… They all felt weak to me

While I was completing my storyline, they did kinda take my thunder quite a bit… GW1 did a better job at making me feel as I you was the important one in the story, instead of the tag-along.

Arenanet definitely could have done a better job with the morality stuff… I personally see my Human Ranger as dignified, but it definitely doesn’t show through any of the dialogue (its the same as everyone else) (and when I mean dialogue… I mean cutscenes). I kinda just have to keep thinking that he is what I know he should be and ignore whatever comes out of his mouth.

I remember back to Fable 2 when I think of a good morality system… Perhaps they could take some tips?

I really like Destiny’s Edge, but then again I read the book about them so perhaps that will give me more of an insight into who they are etc.

I would indeed like to see Ferocity/Dignity/Charm to have an actual use. There literally is no use for it right now.
