Guild Wars 2

Been replaying the Living Story recently and I just noticed that while Taimi is limping, she makes grunts of agony. It’s creeping me out. :/

she has a disease

and it creeps you out

let’s go ahead and let that sit for a couple of minutes

It’s not the disease that’s freaking him out, but the sounds she makes when she’s walking for example.

I noticed these sounds too, and those grunts are very misplaced imo. It’s like she’s heavily wounded.

It’s the same sounds that any female Asura make if they move while Crippled, I believe.

I dind’t even know she had a disease until I read this. I missed out on the last part of season 1, and they never comunicated it again I guess. I thought she was just injured from her golem being destroyed.

No, she’s suffering from a type of degenerative disorder (very reminiscent of ALS). It’s hinted at that she might end up being completely crippled.

PC: Are you injured? What happened to your legs?
Taimi: I was born this way. My legs were never strong enough to carry me very far. Don’t pity me, though. I hate pity. And I don’t need it because I do just fine for myself.
PC: I can see that. Can your legs be cured?
Taimi: That remains to be seen. The degenerative effects of my condition may spread to other parts of my body as I get older, but for now it’s just the legs.
