Guild Wars 2

One of my favorite details of HoT has been the voiced conversations between the player character and NPCs. I liked it in the story instances, but I liked it even more when I found them in the wild in a HoT map. I really appreciated the added atmosphere, and they just plain made me smile. On launch day I got into Verdant Brink, made my way to one of the Pale Reaver outposts, grabbed a rifle, and started trying to snipe the mordrem below. A relieved Larathir exclaimed something like “The commander has come to our aid!”, and my character answered him that she would not let them fall, or something of the sort—I’ve forgotten the exact dialogue, because I haven’t heard it since October!

I’ve taken my main back to some of the places and events I remember those conversations happening at several times since, but I haven’t seen them trigger again. Has anyone seen one of these conversations happen twice (with the same character)? Do they really only happen the one time per character, or is it random if they pop or not and I’m just unlucky?

I really want to see those conversations happen more than once. I’ve been coming back to these maps often to do events, and I’m still having fun, but without the little personal pieces of story happening it feels less alive.

Voiced dialogue between the player character and NPCs outside of story missions have never occured for me, I started playing HoT in January.

It happens to me with every New character when I walk into Yaka Itzel, but never twice. Sadly seems like it is only once per character. I’ll check later when I’m home, but so far I don’t recall hearing them twice on a character.
