I have a few existing characters, some 80 and some younger, that I haven’t gotten very far in the personal story with yet.

While they are all human (except one, I know, boring), I was hoping to mix up my choices as much as possible with respect to the orders they are joining and the side missions and ‘advice choices’ (before you actually join an order).

Some are pretty cut and dry, like picking ‘nobility’ or ‘missed opportunity’. Others aren’t as clear to me as to what I picked. I’m reading through the Chapter 3 text on a character that had done it, and it’s not clear to me what the options were at each stage and which I had picked.

So I was wondering if there was a good way to somehow ‘reverse engineer’ the story journal such that I can figure out which choices I selected, and then some place I can go in the wiki (or elsewhere) to match that up with the choices available, so I can see what I’ve done so far, and then pick new options I haven’t seen yet?

I was looking at the wiki, and it doesn’t seem to have the detail ‘inside’ Ch 3 with the different options along the way (2 or 3 different things I remember doing)?

Thanks.

That’s what I was using, and I’m just now starting to write down all the heading information from each of the story steps in each character’s journal, which is tying nicely back to some of the information in the wiki.

One place that seems to not work out so well is Chapter 3 though. There isn’t enough detail there to make out what all the choices were and which I picked.

As an example from two different characters:

Character 1
The Orders of Tyria
Mortus Virge
Track the Seraph
Speaker of the Dead
The Queen’s Justice

Character 2
The Orders of Tyria
Brute Force
Track the Seraph
The Sad Tale of Ravenous
The Trap

Some are the same, some are different. I can’t tell which is which, and on some that are the same (like ‘Track the Seraph’), if it was a non-choice step that everyone gets or if I happened to pick the same one for those two characters, you know?

And then there isn’t enough information to be able to make sure I pick the right thing ‘on the fly’ so as to not mess up (messing up being missing the opportunity to pick something I haven’t done yet). If I’m in the middle of the story step and it’s asking me to pick, can I just ‘leave’, and then login the other characters to see if I can match up what my choices are with the logs at that point?

Probably a lot more work than it’s worth, but I thought it would at least be fun to make sure I’ve seen every course of action I can with the human race and the factions as I’m doing the story on some of the other characters.

Ah, way down in the ‘navigation’ section. Actually, I think that has more of what I was looking for and you hit the nail on the head.

Thank you!
