Guild Wars 2

BuddhaKeks.4857:

The way it is done in the game is, that if you play LS2 or LS3 or the HoT campaign the game will assume you are the Pact Commander who killed Zhaitan in the PS. That is a fact. So no matter how much you roleplay your characters to be friendly rivals of the the Commander, the fact that it is not presented that way in the game will not change. Hence I said you used your headcanon as an explanation and even more so accuse others of doing so. Don’t you see how incredible hypocritical that is?

I’m accusing others of using headcanon? Where?

Ultimately, the only thing I’m saying is, if you wanted to put Tengu in, you could go through the points and reinforce sketchy portions or parts that could cause conflict, like you mentioned.

Or you can limit your casualties here and now. You mentioned the LS parts assumes you’re the Pact Commander who killed Zhaitan. Simple solution is to limit references to those particular events. No one must reference the killing of Zhaitan by your character every second sentence or remind you of your rank at the start and end of every sentence. And the omission of one word in that title is the most simplest of solutions going forward when referencing the character.

Of course, you can retrofit Tengu into the old PS, or you can create a new story. Or just move forward with the new additional race and have more inclusive dialog while allowing the player themselves to fill in the blanks.

Having to go back and edit stuff for some – or all – characters in addition to doing VO for that content is a lot more work than just adding a new VO for a race in that same content.

First is easiest (only change beyond first three chapters needed is to add new voice acting for tengu characters). Second causes complications (the entire point of my and Buddhakeks’ previous posts). Third doesn’t fix the problem of S2, HoT, or S3 (which is said entire point of said posts).

Not necessary to reply to every point since most of your replies are basically “No, the way things are is how I say them and you should accept that as fact” which I don’t have the time to argue nor the data.

For the rest, what Konig said.
