Guild Wars 2

I think the best way to continue and improve the Personal Story after the defeat of the first elder dragon, is to:

Make different NPCS all over the world that provides different story instances during exploration. Just like the GW1 Mission system but you can do them in ANY order to encourage exploration around the world and indulge on the continuation of the storyline.

This should make the story More Personal too since it would effect your character, and should effect your home instance.

Once all the New Personal Story arc is completed, then Unlock the last Mission to defeat the next Elder Dragon!

By defeating the next Elder Dragon, they can unlock the 3rd Tier Personal Story with more NPCs around the world that offer more instances with the 3rd Elder Dragon to defeat, etc etc.

What’s everyone’s opinion on this idea?

I love it. I want more personal story! It was the most fun I had until I started doingg dungeons. I love the lore and story.

What Trahearne Story needs, is a better writer.

What we got was a noble effort with a bit of creativity and a modicum of investment behind it, but on the face of it, it was outright sabotaged by not understanding the basic tropes of written fiction, less of all the synergy between the player and game elements in an interactive world.

Here’s the improvement plan in four simple steps:

• 1. Kick out whoever was responsible for writing the original.
• 2. Look on the Internet for five minutes and hire someone who’s ever written a successful fanfic.
• 3. Saddle them with the task of rewriting dialogue in existing missions.
• 4. A few months and lots of angry and obscene gestures from your newly hired specialist later, recast whoever you find lying around the office as voice actors and redub the lines.

Done.

Addendum: if in Step 3 your writer hands over plain text instead of acting directions to the voice actors, start over from Step 1.
