Guild Wars 2

I love Commodore Cobiah Marriner and the Sea of Sorrows storyline and I wish we got to experience and play that book’s story in game. I mean I love Commodore and his crew and everything. He is amazing and I loved how when LA was rebuilt as a Pirate nation where all races got together during the time era where humans and charr where still at war. It was amazing how all pirates (regardless of race) where getting along while the outside world where fighting. I loved how Kryta was fighting the new Pirate Lions Arch.

Also I wish we got to experience the story of Destiny’s Edge in game from the book’s storyline. I mean it was awesome. I really loved the characters better. Logon and Rytlock are awesome; loved how they where enemies and later became close like brothers.

I also wish we got to play the story from Ghosts of Ascalon… When will Dougal Keane actually take part of the story in game? I want to see him make an appearance in Season 3…

I feel like these books where great but the stories NEED to be experienced in GAME. =(
We have a Time machine (Fractal) so can’t we have storymode solo version to play those stories in a coherent way? I would LOVE to be Commodore Cobiah and experience his story in his perspective during those time era.

Ghosts of Ascalon would have been the best fit for a side quest in the game. It had your typical heroic fantasy quest and unlike Sea of Sorrows, a credible and interesting hero (Cobiah was sooo bland!!). It was a shame the Ruins of Ascalon in game didn’t live up to the epic and dangerous feel in the book.

I agree the Destiny’s Edge chars were better in the book than how they appeared in the game. A great deal of their importance of who they were and their relationships was lost in the game. I think not using them more in the game hurt them a lot – it was certainly not necessary to create this new band when we had ready made heroes.

Sea of Sorrows was largely a forgettable experience for me it was so poor. The rising of Zhaitan and the battle on the ships against the undead were quite exciting, especially compared to the. battles on the ships we were presented with.
The rest of the book I found quite tedious. Finding the LA locations mentioned in the book was a great touch for an achievement though.

I doubt Dougal Keane will ever feature in the game beyond his appearance as an NPC standing in LA, although it would be nice to have him with us at some point.

There is a possibility considering that Gullik occasionally visits Killeen’s grave ingame.

Dougal (and Ember) have actually already been recast in the game- I believe they were founding members of the Guild Initiative. That ties them into the plotline that so far has only included claiming your guild’s hall. If ANet ever decides to move forward on that route, either by expanding on the crystal we’ve got sitting in the middle or by adding new halls with new quests to claim them, I could see room for Dougal and Ember to come back in to things.
