Guild Wars 2

So I was doing map completion in Malchor’s Leap today and I came upto a skill point. It was some woman so I talked to her and basically skipped though most of what she had to say expecting I would have to fight her. As it turns out she was just telling me something about the lore and I had just skipped though it and gotten the skill point. I couldn’t see what she had to say again either.

It’s not a game breaking problem or anything but I really think the lore of Guild Wars needs to be better told in game. A lot of people don’t read up on lore as it’s not a part of the game and skip a lot of the dialogue with NPC’s as they rarely have anything useful to say. If there were books in game that would be amazing, there could be fiction books based around the culture of the races, historical books referencing things from Guild Wars 1 and other unseen events such as the immigration of humans to Tyria. I think it would add a lot more depth to the game and help people who don’t read up on lore and haven’t played the original game to get to know the hard work the writers have put into it.

Well, you skipped it. Don’t skip it the next time.

They are trying to please 3 kinds of people here;

People who like cut-scenes for lore get plenty of that.

People who like to read flavor text to get lore have a ton of that, so you have nobody to blame but yourself when you skip it

And then there’s people like me who skip everything but dialog involving my character. I read my lore on wikis etc, other people don’t want any lore.
