Guild Wars 2

So after all these years, Anet gave us closure on that mysterious and freaky secret room in Caudecus’s manor with this latest LS chapter. That the comment posted by Josh Foreman on the room’s discovery and its intended purpose turned out to be true, 4 years later. Makes me wonder if Anet planned the whole story arc from the start, or if it was just an elegant way to bring back that room and use it. Nevertheless, it’s really cool for us old timers to see something old and discarded as a map break turn out to be future content

You’ve got massive spoilers in the title and post, put a tag up.

Anywho, it seems pretty obvious they knew the end to this story before launch. I mean we all sort of knew he was WM, it’s just to what extent. I don’t know if they reused this asset or if it was planned, neither would surprise me.

This was a really nice surprise.

My guess is that they’ve had a general idea of how this plot would play out since they were building the original game. Like the sylvari and Mordremoth.

They probably didn’t know all the details or the timing, I’d be very surprised if before launch they planned 4+ years of storylines but I’d also be surprised if they hadn’t known that sooner or later we’d confront Caudecus again and get to investigate further into his house than the dungeon allowed us to go.

This could have been Caudecus Manor P4 honestly…

As soon as I loaded into that room, I laughed out loud. It was such a nice touch. I also really enjoyed all of the references to the CM paths throughout that instance.
