Guild Wars 2

Now I understand with the whole theme of it’s war sacrifices must be made. But Your character, in my opinion, doesn’t seem affected by things that would normally destroy a person’s morale. I blasted my own crew to bits and shrugged that off? And as for decision to find that female charr pilot or kill Nekandezzar, I knew that he would be the choice, but I didn’t expect my characters to make a choice like that so quickly. And the fact that she probably would have lived had we gotten there sooner yet your characters don’t recognize this fact as a typical person would. They are also so calm when they were the only ones not killed by that undead norn hunter while everyone around them were picked off one by one. I understand its an MMO so story really isn’t the upfront thing to worry about but still, just thought Id put a few examples to explain my point.

I agree. There are many problems, this being just one, with character development. All their emotions come across as bland, immature, unrealistic, shallow, and unfeeling. You see it throughout the personal story, as well as in how they reply to NPC’s around the world.

And it continues in the living story as well. When the first living story update was released there was an option to talk to refugees and they told the character how hard their lives are now and at the end the character would say something like “uh, ok.” or something like that clearly showing that he/she doesn’t give a kitten about it. Was pretty fun though.

It’s just part of the writing, the same writing that spawned Trahearne.
