Not really bugs, but oddities that would be nice to have. I’d like to hear about others that people have come across and I find such things amusing.

One of the biggest ones that stand out for me that makes me snicker every time is when my personal banker tells me things like “Lowest price guaranteed” or “Prices are non-negotiable”. Really? What prices? It’s the bank and it’s all my stuff.

Another one I came across recently was the dialog in Dragon’s Reach p1 where they keep referring to me as the killer of Zhaitan…well, I haven’t finished my PS yet and have never don’t Arah Story….I’ve never killed Zhaitan. How much work would be to check such things and have a slightly forked dialog?

It was a similar thing with the Nightmare Tower and the Seiran nightmare room…well, what if I hadn’t have gotten past that point in the PS yet? Would I have still gotten that room, providing a bit of built in spoiler? I’d bet so. Again, how much work would it be to check player progress and suppress content that doesn’t make sense?

They did say that storywise season 2 happens after personal story, so from that point of view your personal story is done and you’ve already killed Zaithan.

And on the nightmare tower bit, actually the enemy you fight inside the nightmare chambers depended on how far you were in your personal story. Depending on how far you were in your personal story when getting into the nightmare chambers, you’d fight either a member of destiny’s edge of your race, your mentor in your chosen order, or Trehearne. Also some of the prisoners you might have to release were from your personal story depending on the choices you had made.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
