Hello Adventures,

I wondered if there are possibilities in the Guild Wars Universe that some Individuals from different races can have feeling for each over.
For example, the Norn have the same biology as humans, can a Human then fall in love with a Norn and it wouldn’t be wrong?

The Sylvari are imitating Humans, so maybe some guy with a weird fetish have feelings for a Sylvari or can a Sylvari find a Human or Norn so interesting that he/she creates feelings for him/her?

Any feeling can happen if the social/religious/custom boundaries are overcome. Some are just really unlikely to happen because of those boundaries. If they are overcome, there won’t be any interspecies kids involved though. A-net confirmed that.

I guess it would depend on your way of thinking. Humans often fall in love when an intimate relationship is not an option. They may be disabled or can’t for some other reason. So in those cases it is companionship and feelings only. So I don’t know why two peoples of the sentient races in GW2 (especially the main 5) couldn’t fall for each other.

It might be possible. Feelings are funny and don’t follow a set of rules, so why not. So relationships, could happen I recon. But, there would be no halfer babies, as it has been stated that the races are not able to reproduce with one another. But babies are not essential for a relationship, so I can see relationships happening between the races.

Where was it stated that the races could not reproduce with one another? I would love to read that. I like that kind of stuff. I find it interesting.

It is too bad, though. I figured most could not inter-species, but I was hoping Norn and Humans could. It would be cool to see some 1/2 Norn running around.

Oh can’t find a link… but I remember it being mentioned. I was disapointed since I had sort of thought of my norn elementalist to be decendet from my GW1 (human) ele. Was kinda bummed learning it was not possible.

I changed it to that she might still have had a relationship with a norn and they adopted an orphaned norn child.

Fanfic ahoy!

But seriously, I’ve envisioned my Asura warrior hits on Human and Norn a lot since he ended up hanging out with a lot of them on the front lines and picking up their bad habits. He’s pretty big for an Asura too…about chest height to most female humans :P

The major races cannot reproduce, however we see multiple in-game examples of human and norn holding more… physical interests with each other – though rarely is said interests returned in kind.

There’s probably some human and sylvari stuff going on too in the game among NPCs. Though less so, I’m sure.

^ What Konig said. I’m certain that there are occasional inter-racial relationships in the game world. It’s just that it’s not spotlighted by ANet. The one rule we have is that the different races can’t interbreed with each other. Other than that, feel free to go wild with your roleplaying.

You won’t generally see too many inter-species relationships, but I’m sure they’re out there. With some races more than others. You also have to consider the opinions of their peers, which will be more important to some races than others; sylvari wouldn’t have too many problems, but for a charr it would be very difficult.

Since there is confirmation that there will be no mutant hybrid children, I’m fine with the interspecies relationship idea. I’m really glad they didn’t go the “Everyone can magically breed with everyone!” route.

Funny I run into this topic today. I was just telling my guildies that I’m surprised to not see some human woman in Lion’s Arch hitting on a charr somewhere. I know more than a few women IRL who would love the chance for that.

The only reason this is an odd question is because there’s only one dominant sentient species in the real world: humans.

I think, as sylvari, humans, asura, tengu, charr, norn, kodan, and quaggans all seem to have the same level of intelligence (give or take) a romantic relationship is never out of the question.

A sexual relationship is a different story. However, given that we have magic and potions that can change your entire body structure, I don’t see that as a problem between species.

The only real issue I see is that A-net said that only the more adventurous individuals would be found in other races cities. So that tells me that there isn’t a relatively whole lot of integration. Feeling can be had and even actions based on those feelings but it will be far from common.

A relationship between Norn and Human is possible.
My Norn is a decendet from a GW1 charakter I don´t give a kitten about what others say. If A-net shows me a norn and human trying without success I may believe them.^^

I´m looking at our internet. Check some adult websites and see some drawn adult material which contains,of course some “adult” material, and for example some furry stuff or tentacle stuff. A relationship between Human and others is at least from Human side possible(depends on individual interest). But offspring… I think magic will help. Ask the Asura how to do it.

Quaggans are the pillows. lol
I also believe that cross species relationships can happen.
So far we have kids from various species playing games together. In Applenook a woman adopted a Charr, Asura, Norn, and she has her own Human kid.

It is completely logical to think some Asuran is living with a Sylvari or a Human with a Norn (dem Norn women…sorry I’m drifting again). Its just a kid won’t result from it, though adoption is always possible.

In response to the OP, this is an ingame quote from the Krytan Herald in Divinity’s Reach:
“No gossip here, I’m afraid. If it weren’t for the occasional half-naked sylvari passing through, I’d be bored to tears.”

It’s safe to say there is at least one human male who has a preference for salad haha.

In Lion’s Arch two women (Human and Sylvari) watch a Norn couple walk by and they have the following conversation:
(Human): “Did you see what she was wearing?”
(Sylvari, apparently interested): “No….I was watching him.”

I’m pretty sure it’s two human women, actually, not a human and sylvari. Or it was the human interested, because I know for certain that the interested one was human.

I don’t know if it has been mentioned, but that human friend of Historian Fia in Cursed Shore is probably more interested in her than just being friends, at least this came to my mind when i read the name of this thread. I think she is pretty much unaware of this though, as she says that she does not understand humans, and especially not him.

……..I feel dirty now

That being said, there is a quest in GW1 where you have to get out of a “shot gun wedding” of sorts with a female or male norn depending on your gender. So yes, Norn X Human is possible.

Sylvari are said to fall in love with those who “inspire” them, regardless of gender and I would assume species. Sieran for example I am convinced develops feelings for your character….before she you know…..gets annoyingly killed off.

Humans………well I imagine humans would do anything humanoid. Plus, come on, Norn woman. What man would say no? Also, in real life we have things considered a fetish. This can range from possible role play…….to hentai such as monster girls.

Charr and Asura…..I’ll be honest, I can’t think of any reason they might be attracted to the other races. Asura in particular.

Well, I could see the asura going for other species in the sort of “smart guys like dumb girls” kinda schtick (trope?). And of course theres the idea of the smart chick surrounding herself with subservient, obedient, young studs.

but the charr….nah.

Well, I’m playing through the Durmand Priory Storyline at the moment with my Female Sylvari and I have to admit, the voice acting and how she is that curious and adventurous explorer makes her pretty cute in my eyes :P I don’t even want to continue my personal story when I get to Claw Island because I don’t want her to die. And I probably won’t continue.

No one mentioned Braham and Rox? He just lost a LOT of family and friends, not to mention how “lovely” his relations is with his mom so I know he’s feeling vulnerable. Rox, on the other hand, is a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed ranger that desperately wants to be recognized. They have already hit it off well so it wouldn’t be a stretch for them to form an interracial relationship.

Also, I hate to admit it but I find Rox adorable. She has piercing green eyes and, given her interaction with her new pet, she gave the impression of a woman on the cusp of motherhood.

A human/norn hybrid would be plausable Im sure…but it would just look like either a tall human, or short norn. The rest of the races though are too different so the lack of interracial babies isnt so far fetched. Sylvari dont breed though, and the way they work, all Sylvari players are children really.

Lore-wise, Human/Norn hybrids aren’t plausible because Norn are as different from humans as any other race. They aren’t just big humans, they are fairy tale giants. I linked the source from a-net earlier on this page

Once again, people are talking about sex in my MMO…

Hybrids, lore-wise, are not possible, but Ree Soesbee herself did say that sylvari in particular are able to fall in love with ANYONE (gender and species be kitten ed). As far as other races, I think if one spends enough time in Lion’s Arch or the Pact one is likely to see various combinations of races interacting in a potentially intimate way. There are human women/men swooning over norns in almost every city, there are various examples of charr and sylvari being very friendly, and at times playful with one another, and on rare occasions, humans are charr are pushing down cultural barriers between one another, particularly in Fields of Ruin and Ashford.

And though it’s not in a romantic way, there is a charr cub and human girl in LA who have the sweetest dialogue together about being BFFs even if their parents forbid it. (and when puberty hits, who knows what could happen?)

Are interspecies relationships canon? Yes. Plausible even! Especially when you consider that all the races are sentient and being sentient can be deviant of cultural/sexual norms.

Men are endowed differently by individual but also the proportionate size isn’t the same from species to species. Also, in the animal kingdom, cats are not well endowed but they have other sensual enhancements

For instance, a medium size male dog is straight up better endowed than a big cat whose body size is 6x bigger…

…not saying Charr are itty bitty but I wouldn’t go jumping to conclusions the other way either. As for Norn, if they vary similarly to humans, that wouldn’t quite make them all pr0n stars.
