Guild Wars 2

Did anyone else cringe at this line?

First off, it’s a cinematic. I can /see/ the magic crackling around her fingers if it is. Which it isn’t. It’s actually flowing quite smoothly around her floating symbol.

You have a dynamic where two characters offset each other’s personalities, and instead of focusing on dialogue, you told me what I was seeing.

Was the writer in a hurry? Is there a QA screening? What is this sad narrative state you keep handing me?

The dialogue is Marjory explaining to the player character what happened. The cinematic is for the players benefit and unseen by the player character, and therefore would logically have no bearing on how she describes the situation or if she chose to exaggerate certain parts.

I thought it was quite appropriate. It might not be a great line but it’s in character for Marjory – she was trying to be dramatic and spice up Kasmeer’s fairly direct description of events.

Eh well. Might’ve been a few unnecessary lines here and there, but it didn’t bug me as much as the characters mouths not moving in the cut-scene.

The characters mouths not mouving bugged me at first before i realise they were telling us what append, and that was what we were seeing.

Maybe this would have needed a better transition to help us understant this.

Don’t forget that Majory is a huge fan of Noire, although she logically would have never heard of the genre.
