Guild Wars 2

I’ve painted myself into a corner with Racial Sympathy…

I’ve got five characters, and I’d planned to make different choices in my Personal Story with each to ensure I got to see as much as the game as possible. I’m currently on my 5th and planned final character (until such time as a new race is introduced), and It’s time to choose a race to assist.

The problem is that the only race I’ve not seen isn’t available to this character’s race. I had planned to aid the skritt with my asura, but never thought to check availability. Naturally, the asura can’t choose skritt, leaving me with a repeat. Needless to say I’m bummed.

Should I hold off on this decission in hopes that we’ll latter get the option? Or should I assume the asura’s voice actors didn’t even record the dialogue for the skritt missions and live with the fact that I missed out?

I don’t think they’ll add the missing racial sympathy, it’s not really that important.

But it’s weird that Azuras don’t have skritts, they have a long history together, even if it’s a pretty bad one.

Asura don’t have sympathy for skritt. If anything it’s the opposite, Asura used to wage genocide on those critters

I actually thought there were only 3 choices (Skritt, Hylek and Quaggan) but now I see that Human and Sylvari have the same choices. Thanks for the heads up!

I would be surprised if they went back and added more. Since that storyline step already has multiple options, I would be surprised if ANet considered it good use of resources to “fix” what I doubt they see as broken in the first place.

Exactly what I was thinking. Which is bad news for my skritt-friendly asura. He had a bag full of junk, er…shinnies just waiting to be passed out to the skritt younglings. :-(

that’s why i mapped sympathies before selecting for each of my chars, eventually i came up with the following combos (though i suspect at least one more is possible)

Asura – Quaggan
Charr – Grawl
Human – Skritt
Norn – Ogres
Sylvari – Hylek

Since I did the Norn one with Ogres, I know I would never choose that one again, it was SO much traveling from point to point, you’d visit 4-5 stars before you’d get a completion. Not difficult, just way too much travel.
