Guild Wars 2

I recently finished ghost of ascalon and destinys edge novel and I really like the story. I kinda wanted to dig in more so I was planning to buy gw but I decided not to. Will anyone summarize the story of gw?

Do you mean background lore provided, the primary storyline, secondary events, or all of the above?

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Lore
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Storyline
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Stories

All three of the above links are worthwhile, with their sub-pages for the latter two, obviously.

There is also a thread on GW2 guru, which provides a pretty good overall summary of the lore we got in GW1.

They arent finished but a decent and enjoyable watch. He still has the rest of factions to do + Nightfall and Eye of the North.

Keep in mind though that WP isn’t very accurate, he adds drama and details to the plot of the games, that weren’t there, or atleast not in the form described.

For the purpose of story telling to someone who hasnt experienced the lore themselves its perfect though. I never followed the lore that closely when i played gw1, so watching those videos helped remind me of what happened and what was going on. Lots of lore is speculation anyway so its not really a big deal in my opinion.

The thing is that WP presents theories as if they were fact.

Though there’s still more facts in lore than there is speculation – which only stem from people trying to make connections (often when there isn’t such) or trying to fill in gaps of unknown.

It wouldnt be good story telling if you said “I believe” or “I could be wrong” in every sentence. So my point still stands. Its good for the general story. Just dont take every little detail as absolute truth.

But there’s absolutely no reason why one would have to add in theories when talking about facts.
