I was in-game and bored. I decided to explore the Grove after a few Personal Story runs and found my way to the non-instanced version of the Pale Tree’s chamber. At first, I was surprised by the fact that it had NPCs. In reality, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Some other secluded zones have some NPCs as well.

But three of these NPCs have dialogue! And each dialogue changes depending on your character’s race. Obviously, the big emphasis was put on the sylvari. If you play as a sylvari and reach them, they will behave as if you know them. As if something happened between you and them. There’s this whole talk about some kind of… mission that our character went through. Something about the Court and the Blessings.

This is probably asking for too much. But would it be possible for any sort of Staff member to provide any insight regarding this? It’s not like it’s much of a spoiler. Is this scrapped content? What was its original concept?

You can see some of the dialogue outcomes here:

I’m curious how you actually got up there.
That’s all pretty cool though. Nice find!

I think trolls should have their computers smashed. ’Its all part of the game. U mad bro?’

Probably some old remains. For example you can also still see dialogue from the karma system remaining all over the place. Those heart/fist/etc options that remain on open world characters. Anet removed the GUI elements in later patches (your character being a big meanie didnt do anything anyway) but all the character interactions remain.

You can find dialogues in the Wiki for these characters. For example:

Good luck.

She’s mentioned in the wiki

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Oiche

Oiche is a sylvari who appears in the Omphalos Chamber. She has specific dialogue coordinating with the race played by the player. It is likely she was set to appear in game, but was ultimately cut from the final product and can only be accessed by clipping through the map.

Perhaps back then they were going to have more race specific dialog but that was abandoned, possibly due to costs.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.
