Guild Wars 2

I’m really disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be any Asura specific reactions to learning about and finding Rata Novus.

My character just doesn’t seem to care about the discovery of a whole different Rata and all this old Asura tech. He is just completely indifferent to it all like it doesn’t really matter to him or his species beyond what you need from it for the story.

Instead, Taimi is the one who is all interested and excited about it and my Asura compared to her just seems… not very Asuran. Like all the Asura defining personality was sucked away and stuck into her instead. Not even any observations or wonderment…

I understand that as the Pact leader you’ve got some really pressing matters to attend to so your character can’t get sidetracked tinkering, but that doesn’t mean they don’t even have the time to have some commentary on the whole thing!

I also know they probably want to off load the brainy stuff to Taimi since that is what she is there for, to be the Asura in the group when the Commander can be anything. But it really seems to take away from your own character if they are an Asura. They could probably mitigate this with some simple comments that suggest more of a collaboration or understanding & delegation, rather than “OK you do that whatever it is complicated smart stuff while I hit enemies with a hammer”.
