Guild Wars 2

For killing off every interesting NPC that exists. First you have poor Tybalt die, and now on a second playthrough under a different story branch I find that you killed Zott before he can get a congratulatory kiss

I knew Tybalt would be mentioned here, dear lord Anet how you dare to kill my charr brother in arms, i released a single manly tear when he walked through that door into his doom, i still have hope that he is not dead.

he wasnt mentioned dead like the others npc, i pray every night he will come back in an amazing pumped action savior time come-back, plz Anet ill even go and beat grenth ghostly kitten back) if that means i can bring Tybalt Leftpaw back.

It would be cool if they have our Order mentor return to be still alive in Act 2 to save our character from a very messy situation. After all leaving the cutscene showing only them heading to hold off the giant undead army and the gate closes to prevent us from seeing if they actually died or not leaves room for future plot if they have plans to keep them alive. After all Logan survived the same scene in Arah's story mode and we saw him come save our character with a "few" extra help.

I actually yelled at the screen and choked up when Forgal made his choice and marched through that door. Took me a while to warm up to him, and I still vastly prefer the initial story-missions due to the way they show more of the characters’ culture which most games totally ignore in favor of treating everyone the same, but kitten … that was a good moment. But I don’t want him to come back. It’s a very fitting scene for him (can’t speak about the other order partners/mentors yet), and this sort of heroic gut-punch moments are just greatly cheapened if the person sacrificing themselves pops up a short while later like a jack-in-the-box.

Though yes, generally speaking, the “older mentor” character dying is very predictable and annoying.

What did bother me was the handling of the charr warband. We meet them so briefly during the tutorial that there’s no way to “bond” with them. As a result, their loss — which to our character is the single worst thing in the whole world — barely has an emotional impact. And my character sure acted as if it didn’t, which didn’t help.
