idk…she is supposed to be some kind of detective right?
Some kind of expertise in poisons would seem to come with the territory.

People are allowed to be good at things, even fictional characters. Someone somewhere even has to be the best.

It should have been obvious right from the start that Marjory has to be very good at some things at least because the Lion Guard, the Seraph, the three Orders and whoever else has been involved has brought her in to the investigation(s) and frequently stepped back and let her lead it. If anything I think it should have been made clearer exactly what her (and Kasmeer’s) skills are.

See, that didn’t make me blink because Marjory is a Necromancer, and if anyone was going to pop up and say ‘yo I know posions’ it would be a necro. I mean if the Mesmer chirped up and said SHE knew all about posions then I’d be a little confused.

As a detective (and a necromancer to boot), Marjory having knowledge of poisons makes sense, just as Kasmeer’s knowledge of illusions/veils/barriers fits with her being a mesmer.

And, as Danikat said, it needs to be made more clear what characters specialize in before putting them in a story. (Remember Trehearne summoning 5 flesh golems and an elite shadow fiend, then never doing it ever again?)

I’ll say right now, that Marjory seemed fun before, so I don’t know if she’s lame now. But Anet has (writing wise) definitely had a suspicious focus on females & high number of occasion of making female characters “totally awesome”, male characters weak or lame, & if they can, they do the former at the expense of the latter purposefully. The ambient npc chatter is rife with it.

If you take a second and watch traherne you could see he was a necro rather early. All his attack particles are black. Which is the necro’s thing. And the reason Anet said they wouldn’t release weapons/skins/dyes that changed the attack particles of characters, because then you couldn’t id them based on that. Which is kinda nitpicking I know.

In Marjory and Kasmeer’s case, Marjory wears black and green robes (signature of the necro, really) and while Kasmeer isn’t as clear on first meeting her (assuming you’ve never met them before) you may notice her using a pink stealthing on the two of them during the intro story mission, which is a mesmer thing.

This (the bit in bold) is exactly my point. My post was in response to the OP saying Marjory is an expert in something (poisons) therefore she is a Mary Sue, which is a huge jump in logic because there is a lot more to it than that.

(It’s always debateable too because Mary Sue has never been a clearly defined term and when dealing with fantasy, particularly high fantasy, you have to make a lot of allowances for the world your story is set in and then it gets complicating trying to decide what’s allowable and what isn’t and to what extent.)

She’s a necromancer so she knows about poisons. But her profession is that of detective, not poison PhD — you would think there’d be someone more qualified than her.

We’ll see in future episodes, but I would not be surprised at all if she is revealed to have even more expertises.

Doubtful. Yes, she tries to sell herself as someone cool, mysterious and knowledgeable, but she really comes across as someone not too bright, but with delusions of grandeur.
Which incidentally makes her a good pair for Kasmeer, who looks to be a bright person pretending to be a dumb blonde. So, Marjory’s complete opposite.

You really need to look into the meaning of the term Mary Sue if you think this makes a character a Mary Sue. She is a detective and it makes sense for her to have these skills in her line of work. Even more so if people like Logan would come to her for aid. Her character is just fine.

However.. the current sequence her character is in needs some work. The voices are very monotone and not very good this time compared to the last sequence she was in. The Noir sequence was just done well across the board.

It’s just a case of the conveniences lining up in favour of the cast. Scarlet conveniently has the obelisk shards the krait wants. No-one else had the shards but her. Somehow everyone else in Tyria is accomplishing very little yet Scarlet found time to master a bunch of disciplines training under their masters, go to all the asura colleges, engineer the Molten Alliance, subdue the Aetherblades and scheme against the Captain’s Council, be the first person to see the Eternal Alchemy, corrupt humanity’s greatest engineering achievement, align with the Nightmare Court and corrupt the Clockheart. Somehow, in all of that, Scarlet obtained the obelisk shards that the krait wanted so badly (yet the krait, who are doing nothing of importance lately, were unable to obtain them themselves).

Marjory is partnered with Kasmeer. It turns out the two skills needed to take on this new threat conveniently fall into both their wheel houses. A master mesmer (so much so that the mesmer council contacted her specifically – I don’t even think we knew she was a mesmer prior to this) to take down the illusion, and a master of toxins, to figure out how to deal with the new alliance’s toxins.

The story is full of conveniences. They have a small cast of characters, it’s inevitable.

OMG! A clearly important character in the living story is well trained/experienced in something that makes sense for their line of work (detective) AND their fighting profession (necromancer)! Clearly she is just like Scarlet who unites every enemy race she wants to and mastered all Asuran schools in record times…. and impressed even Hoelbrak’s finest smith. Really?

She’s a great detective, she’s a good necromancer, and she knows a lot about poison… does that really sound so crazy?

Well, the previous event when she showed up made me think she was rather poor necromancer, with no abilities whatsoever. This is the first time someone mentioned she’s competent at anything.
Her being smarter than Logan did not say much – after all, pretty much anyone is smarter than Logan.

(just to be clear – i agree with you that she’s no Mary Sue. I just don’t consider her one for a different reason).

Fair enough… maybe I should have just said she’s a good detective and a necromancer, not necessarily good. :P It still seems fitting that she would know a bit about poison.
I said great detective and good necromancer because these would be the reasons for her being important/useful in the story, but you are right she does not really show off any great abilities yet!

While the effort Kasmeer and Marjory make still isn’t much, I was surprised by them dodging/blinking around and actually using more than just basic attack skills, more effort than even Destiny’s Edge tends to give.

Sure it counts.

granted, it’s very little to work with now but … eh, it hasn’t been handled poorly. There’s just enough story there to make it interesting, not enough to quash potential, and you’re allowed to interpret some of the meaning for yourself. You really don’t get a lot of that in game.

I mean, regarding the genie, for example… was it programmed in? was it a virus that warped out of control? was it the super adventure box becoming self-aware? was it all just a hallucination brought about by excessive playtime? I like that they leave it open to interpretation. even if only just for now.

hell, if they have to take baby steps to get better story ideas to bounce content off of, I encourage them to do it.

You can pretty much label any and every character as a Mary Sue if you started using the extended definitions of the trope. It’s original meaning concerned having a character with highly exaggerated and positive characteristics. Maybe Scarlet fits the bill but I honestly can’t see any other character that does as well. Marjory being smart and having knowledge of poisons is not even nearly enough to make her a Mary Sue.

In all seriousness people, every character they give you you’re slapping ‘Mary Sue’ on. I seriously hope none of you actually read books (or even watch tv) because you’d be terribly disappointed. Every villian, every hero (male or female) is (by your people’s definition) a ‘mary sue’ because they are smart, strong, and thrown in your face.
