Guild Wars 2

First I must note that I’m a big fan of the GW franchise and it’s actually the only MMO series I’ve ever played.

To the point. It appears rather difficult to get attached to any of the characters in Guild Wars 2. There’s something lacking that doesn’t reel me in like other games. I’ve thought about what it could be and can’t quite pinpoint it.

It feels like the characters are not alive enough? Maybe? They don’t feel divided enough as individuals. They all feel cropped from the same background, like robots almost. The only real divide seems to be sarcasm, which isn’t anything compared to reality – thus not very appealing.

I’m not trying to say it’s bad. It’s just something I’ve been struggling with for awhile now and thought I would mention.

I think this falls more into the “personal opinion” side of things. I don’t think I would like if my character was too perky, and commenting on everything. It would probably drive me nuts.

I would not mind if they add (in the future) options for character… well… character? Maybe a stoic option, a cheerful option, etc. That would affect their animations. It should not affect storyline, just idle animation and some of the stuff they say.

That’s probably a lot to ask for though, it takes a lot of development time, and the ROI is really hard to measure…

“Looks like I have to make another one”. Seriously, if one of my minions died I’d be irritated. It’s so plastic-y and fake.

My necro sometimes yeld “Mi minion”.. and other times “They die like flyes.”..

So bipolar

It depends what race you played.
When I went with a friend to do their Norn personal story, I instantly hated everything about the Norn. Besides just being big humans, they’re just such horribly written characters with terrible scripts. AHA! I KILLED THIS BIG BEAST! I AM GLORIOUS AND HAVE BUILT MY LEGEND! kitten SVANIR!

I enjoy the Charr, although it is kind of boring when it’s just “Hey bro I can kill you faster and better than you can kill me.”

Asura is funny. Oh Shrieksy… you cute little raptor.

Sylvari I found was kind of boring, until I got to Charys. She’s so stupid that’s it’s funny.

Oh and Caithe is a lesbian

Human I find kind of hard to like just because I think Logan is a little b**ch, because he is. Though they are easy to relate to because we ourselves are humans.
