Guild Wars 2

While this is only the first storyline I already notice there are altered events based on if your character is a Sylvari or not.

for example,

1) Only Sylvari characters can hear Mordremoth’s voice.

2) During the first mission if your character is a Sylvari and you choose to side with Lananthir two of the NPCs will leave the post thus lowering the defense of the place but if your character is not a Sylvari the two NPCs will stay behind and help defend despite not agreeing with your choice.

It is interesting to see the current HoT story mission being affected this way.

So what are your opinion about this type of effect on the HoT Main Storyline missions?

I find this rather nice and can certainly make the Main Storyline unique for different characters.

I personally like that my Sylvari characters can hear Mordremoths voice. It scared me a bit initially but it’s a great touch. I like to see that your choices DO effect what happens with your crew (like two NPCs leaving if you’re Sylvari). It shows what the characters are feeling based on who you are in relation to the situation.

Given that all this stuff is already happening in the demo mission, I have high hopes for the rest of the story.

The funny thing is I didn’t notice it while playing. At first I thought Gantt died cuz he wasn’t with me when we went underground. And I noticed after playing my human and asura that the mission had gotten a lot easier. Then this morning I remembered that the charr and norn left my sylvari and I got kittenED! Even driving to workittenpt thinking " I hope I’m around when Rytlock rips her a new one.

This mission makes me wonder if there may be a mission where a Sylvari character turns on the others.

Making it a slight moment when the Pact Commander does fall under Mordy’s control resulting in the player turning on the Investigation Team and fight along side Mordy’s Minions as they arrive in waves for a set amount of time as the Invetigation Team keep self resurrecting themselve but eventually the pact commander regains his or her sanity back during the mission after the time limit ends.

However, the other race experience it differently by having to fight along side the Investigation Team against Mordy minions until the time limit ends instead.

After the time limit ends the events still follow the same events for both but with slightly altered dialogues to reflect on what happened.

It is really interesting playing through as a Sylvari and then as another of the races and seeing (hearing) the differences.
I do hope they add something in that is a bit different for each of the other races this expansion.
Remember this is the first time the Pact has hit rock bottom (this so completely). During a crisis such as this you would expect to see old prejudice arise. In a situation of lost hope we would be seeing (and hearing) to both the most ugliest and the most heroic actions in people.
Before the Pact was formed there was a feeling of mistrust between each of the races, not to mention each of the Orders . They each had their own obligations and troubles, at a low like this, some of them might be feeling that these obligations look more viable.

Basically give the other races (and each of the Orders) some love too.

I would not be surprised if there are other Race specific events as well beyond what Sylvari experiences.

In the Pact base in the Wastes you’ll notice there are soldiers from all Race that are only there because the leaders of each Race government are finally providing support for the Pact. From the Seraph of Kryta, Peacekeepers of Rata Sum, Wardens of the Grove, and Legions of the Black Citadel.

The support we had when fighting Zhaitan were just people who chosen to join of the three orders but none of them was directly there because of their government.

HoT is the timeframe when each Race has finally decided to provide support for the War against the Elder Dragons, with LW Season 2 providing the events that lead to the Races Government to support the War, but of course each of these soldiers do not trust each Race and even shown doubts about the Pact itself. Along with them reflecting the mentality of each Race’s government.

With such disarray happening I would not be surprised if we find surviving Seraph soldiers and Char Legion soldiers fighting each other to survive and we may be given a choice to side with one of them and if a Charr player choose the Charr Legion the Seraph soldiers would see the Pact Commander as untrust worthy and attack while if a Charr choose the Humans than the Charr Legion may call him a traitor to the Charr race and attack the Charr player with dialogue reflecting the choice and race of course.
