Guild Wars 2

This is a small idea that came to me on a whim and I wanted to share it.

Basically, adding a Bestiary to the hero pane so that mobs that you defeat (once, or a set amount of times to achieve the info) are listed and given lore along with a model or maybe a concept piece of the mob. This would give something extra for players to do and would be a decent pass time.

additionally, a way to keep books and their contents on the character so that books can effectively be collected and looked at whenever.

and as a little extra, a place to keep a list of the Hearts you’ve completed and their information, as well as the text in the letters you received after completing them.

These kind of ‘lore’ collectables are very attractive to me, and make a lot of sense for a game like this I feel where horizontal progression is the name of the game.

Given the way the achievements are setup I always wondered why we don’t already have a bestiary, but I would love to see on added so I could fill it out.

This, similar ideas have been floating around for a while, in general these sorts of things can help add lore and flesh out the world of tyria so I’m all for it.

I would love this. Maybe also books about different places in the world that you can get as you complete events/hearts?

I wouldn’t be surprised if features such as these are included on the “lore panel” they mentioned awhile ago (granted we haven’t heard about it in awhile).

I’m reaaaaaalllly hoping that the lore panel will finally make it’s arrival in the upcoming features patch. I’d always assumed it would show up in the patch where we uncover Scarlet’s background but it seems not.

I get the feeling though that the lore panel is a lot more feature rich than we think. They’ve been working on it forever. And it could fit in nicely with giving the personal home instance a purpose beyond just mining nodes.
