Guild Wars 2

Do you find during the course of your gameplay that certain NPCs are programmed to say something that just irritates the ever living out of you?

Here’s mine:

Divinity Reach Male Bank Teller:

“I’m rich, ya know.”

Okay, if he’s so rich, then what is he doing working in a bank?

He uses that pick up line to all the races in Tyria. He’s not found a date yet.

I don’t really find them annoying unless they repeat there self over and over 5x and that only happens when something triggers the lines.

Technically not a comment but the guy in Divinitys Reach coughing is quite annoying.

My favorite which properly made me laugh out loud has to be the random “I… enjoy pie”

All the dialogue in the taverns annoys me.

“She’s marrying a bard”
“I hate my job”
“There goes one of the Ministry’s finest”

&tc

BEAR APPROVES OF YOU! I CAN FEEL HIS LITTLE TAIL WAGGING IN MY HEART!

“You found the bear’s den! Let’s celebrate with fighting!”

To be honest, I love the NPC dialogue, it really adds colour to the world. Yes, we may be a little bored of them when we have played for a while but I wouldn’t want it removed. It helps to bring the world to life.

Don’t get me wrong, a lot of lines can be grating, but I love the NPC dialog, especially when it’s so bad it’s funny. I wouldn’t ever want it removed.

I tell my wife every time he says that:

“The pie is a lie, I want my cake!”

Then I growl at her computer because we named it GLaDOS.

Ask Anet to take of the Kayne West patch will clear up that annoying little itch you had!

Sorrow’s Embrace

No No No

The vendor that says, “No refund.” The way she says it makes me laugh.

Don’t complain too much. People complained about the sylvari in Lion’s Arch saying “More violets, less violence” over and over so they nuked all the npc’s in lions arch.

I pray to the spirits of the wild, but they rarely answer.

Kholer in the AC explorable.

Sometimes he says “You heard Grast” up to 10 times. xD

Pretty annoying

There’s a human man in some DR taverns that shouts “Shut up now! I can’t hear anything!” I want to punch him, sometimes.

Not an NPC , the priory mentor that keeps saying everything’s ‘cherry’ – I don’t know why it annoys me…it just does.

I haven’t found one comment which was annoying in the first place. It’s just… you heard them sooo often…

Dude, they nuked all of Lion’s Arch.

So much for “more violets.”

The Asuran guy near the crafting stations in Caledon Forest. Man, he sucks.

’What’s taking Vee so long?…’ over and over. Or ‘You there!..’

He’s doubly annoying because his wacky experiments shut the crafting stations down until someone gets bored enough to hunt ’em down and complete the event.

I’m far more annoyed by the combat dialogue. We were supposed to get the option to shut it off. What happened to it?

My favorite is “this won’t end well” by Trahearne, over and over

I think it’s worth nuking LA to get rid of those brats playing “ghost” behind the bank every 60 friggin seconds. And yes, I timed it. Good riddance.

“Moving on.”

Most annoying line in the Personal Story.

Numerous times Trahearne has given an “inspirational” speech to rally the troops, and the moment you leave the cut scene he delivers that doozy. “This won’t end well”.

Seriously, if he has so little faith in our chance for success, why did my character think he’d be a logical choice to lead the Pact?

At least he’s gone from your life once you’ve completed your Personal Story.

As far as everyday NPCs go, the coughing one in Divinity’s Reach is bad. I also dislike how LOUD that whistling guy is.

I use this one at work now.

LOL!

Although I don’t find them annoying there are a couple of Norn men who proposition my Norn female. One in Frostgorge Sound goes something like “Are you looking for good company?” And another in Wayfarer’s Foothills in one of the lodges offers to warm her bed (don’t remember the exact wording). Not sure if they proposition other races or men too.

“Weakness makes me sick”

Those centaur must be a really ill bunch

Antharius.6950:

“Weakness makes me sick”

Those centaur must be a really ill bunch

They’re all terminally diseased.

“Know what cannot be known”
“Fight what cannot be fought”

From same NPC…. Face kitten palm.

Anything that Trahearne does and/or say I find annoying.

My favorite NPC dialog ( I know this doesn’t really belong here ) is the Charr merchants saying “You break it, I break you”

I think they should all remain, the fact that bring out such an emotional response from players shows the players are not ignoring the npcs. In many, players ignore npcs’ voice dialogs.

Seabreeze.8437:

BEAR APPROVES OF YOU! I CAN FEEL HIS LITTLE TAIL WAGGING IN MY HEART!

I cracked up, then checked Google. Yep, some npc actually says this. *wipes tear

Most annoying for me was the bank npc in Lions arch. “What. What. What. What. What.” Every time someone talked to her: WHAT. Fortunately nuked with the rest of them.

…You have no soul. Those kids were adorable.

Some of the NPCs in Rata Sum can be kind of irritatingly repetitive. And it always throws me when two characters are having a conversation and talk over each other, definitely need to tighten up the timing. By and large though, I don’t really mind, and actually enjoy some of it.

“No free samples” from a Charr merchant. It’s annoying but funny at the same time. Makes me laugh.

I love the dialog in Divinity’s about the kids being arena fighters, “Through imaginary combat” always makes me laugh, I can’t help but think about the players who talk about being better at this game, as though being better at imaginary combat is really all that important and wonder if that dialog was included specifically for them.

I turned off most character sounds a while ago (Dialog Volume). I finally dont have to listen to the same kitten speech every time i visit the storage or merchants.

“Grab a power keg, and get blasting”
“Grab a power keg, and get blasting”
“Grab a power keg, and get blasting”

I don’t even know that those toxic spores are still doing there but to have all 3 NPCs say the same line in the same voice right after each other and an annoying bug.

I miss the NPCs from Lion’s Arch.

I like that the NPCs talk to us to get help with quests. So much better than a blinking exclamation mark over their heads.

However, it’s true that when you’re crafting or standing still in one spot for a while, the repetitiveness gets irritating.
On the flip side, I’ve actually purposefully stood in one spot to hear a dialogue repeat because I didn’t catch it all! (Have you hear the singing Norn and the Hylek? Hilarious!)

Where are the singing Norn and Hylek?

And I too enjoy the dialog most of the time.

Things I remember:

In LA:
“Can you point me to the outhouses?”
“We don’t HAVE outhouses, we have water closets.” (or something like that)

In DR: On the main road walking in more towards the profession area, there’s one male NPC who is just constantly laughing. It’s kind of funny actually but gets old.

Also my personal favorite, I overheard a Charr in Black Citadel once saying “It’s never a good day until you KILL somebody.”

Best ones in game (since I can still spam it infinitely)

“ALL OF US ABANDONED. YOU CAN’T BE REAL. YOU CAN’T BE HERE”
or the famous
“I THINK WE HAVE MORE SPIES”
and don’t forget
“NO. NO. NO.”
Ah, NPCs offering such sagely advise like “what is this?” or “be careful!”
