Guild Wars 2

I was wondering, would people buy something like book with character designs, maps, lore, artwork from guild wars made like the “Hyrule Historia” from The Legend of Zelda if Arenanet ever released something like that??

I would. I know WoodenPotatoes would, too; hell, he’s probably organized most of what such a book would have.

Yeah but WP doesn’t count, he has some sort of obsessive compulsive issue with the lore xD

I would definitely buy something like this.

I’ve got Hyrule Historia and I love it, which surprised me because at first I thought it was basically just an art book and I tend to find I look at those once and then they just sit on the shelf. But I really like the way that one’s done – even the sections which are mainly art work have information on how the characters/places were designed and why they look the way they do which makes it a lot more meaningful and interesting than just pictures out of context.

I’ve got a GW2 art book which is similar – it has a little bit on each page about the designs and what inspired them, like saying the destroyers were originally going to be insects. I’ve also had a look through the ‘making of’ book that comes with the Collectors Edition and I thought that was really interesting. But I’d love something more focused on the lore and history of Tyria.
