Guild Wars 2

There is one point in personal story line (just after you permanently signed with one of the orders), where you have a choice to help/research one of 3 races.
it felt quite disappointing, when all this friendship ended with just one major fight.
it could be cool to get something little more out of this story.
what a bout small sidekick- representative of the race. minipet would do, but something little more that that would be just wonderful- follower with some emotes or even minimal combat assistance.

It would be nice if my sidekick Dinky was at my side as a hero doing hearts and dynamic events ( except dungeons and WvWvW ) .

This is kind of a neat idea, though it might clog rendering if every person out there was dragging a second character behind them everywhere. Still, if that’s not an issue, I like the idea of being able to take along an NPC companion (in addition to the pet, in the case of a ranger).

I suppose it wouldn’t be too difficult for the developers to reward a mini pet of the race you chose upon completion of the racial sympathy story arc. It wouldn’t require too much tweaking, since mini pets are already a part of the game & might encourage more gameplay if the mini pets are unique (you’d have to complete all the racial sympathy quests to collect them all). Alternatively, they could add a special elite skill that allows you to summon a member of the race you chose to assist to fight a long side you for a short time.

I really like the idea of having an NPC companion following your character around, but I think it would be difficult to implement.

Perhaps it could be worked into the charr warband racial skill as well, I’d love some of the larger races to join in and beat it’s local counterpart about. That said, I’d also love an army of Dinkys from lots of charr characters on a map and really miss the NPC companions from GW1.

It does irritate me sometimes as I’ve helped a race and then they all want to tear my throat out the moment the instance ends. But yeah, a mini pet would be a good idea, as it would encourage people to complete the story up to that point on a secondary character if there was a mini pet in it.
