Guild Wars 2

Assuming Sylvari can’t be smart? The nerve.

Kasmeer is not really smart. She is a powerful mesmer, but still a dimwit. She says plenty of dumb stuff and she wouldn’t get by without Jory. It is part of her personality, being stupid and kinda childish.
It is understandable that she wouldn’t know anything about the Sylvari.

Edit: Don’t get me wrong, I love her :P
I think she and Jory are a perfect match. If they were both smart and cunning, they wouldn’t be so cool together. Not every character has to know what they are talking about, heh…

Edit 2: Also, maybe she is not dumb, just too sheltered? Being a noble and all. Still, she is a good character.

i actually like that about kasmeer she does have a personality and shows it well

Merry Wintersday (grumble)….

She actually explain why she said that.

She actually explain why she said that.

Hmph! Just because we are a young, inquisitive race, doesn’t mean we lack intelligence! Why do all the other races-

Wait…what is that? -distracted- Oooooh~ Is that a firefly? It’s so tiny! How do they light up? Do they only come out at night? Or during the day too? Do they light up at day? If I stood still, would it land on my head? What does it eat? Where do they live? Can they live outside the jungle? How about in the cold? Is it a type of insect? I wonder if….

I think in some ways she is like the sylvari themselves. Kasmeer appears to have lived a comfortable and privileged life of nobility. Recent events have put her into a position where she has to get out of her comfort zone and as part of that she’s exposing herself to places, people and situations that she never would have come across in her comfortable noble life, despite being a fully grown adult (not unlike a sylvari themselves). In many ways Kasmeer is still learning about the world like a newborn sylvari (both are adult-like beings that have so little life experience) but unlike many sylvari Kasmeer has been around long enough to think she knows what’s going on.

She comes off as judgemental but I think as she learns more and her character develops she will show that when armed with some experience and more understanding, her current views are just misconceptions. Then again, the writers keep writing Destiny’s Edge with no character growth(Logan is a broken record when it comes to the Queen and his loyalty to his former guild etc), I wouldn’t be surprised if Kasmeer stayed the same. It is getting tiresome seeing Marjory constantly tell us (or Kasmeer) that she’s smarter than she comes across as if it’s some big secret they are going to unveil later.
