Guild Wars 2

I feel as good as LS 2 has been it still has the problem of the main story in that it lacks the ability to flesh out the Elder dragon. If the dragons had the ability to speak then I feel it would go a long way to giving them some depth. I’d even go one step further and say they should be able to create their own humanoid forms but I don’t think the lore supports it.

It’s just the dragons are simply not interesting. Let’s be honest, some people didn’t like Scarlet but at least she had a personality. The only interesting thing about the dragons is what they can manipulate. They don’t even need to be dragons to do that, it could be literally anything with that power and it would still be just as captivating. I’m saying I don’t think the dragon concept is being taken advantage of. It’s wasted potential IMO

The writing of LS 2 has been loads better than the writing in both the main story and the original LS, but it still suffers from the main story’s inability to properly flesh out the dragon as a living entity. If characters didn’t tell us it existed we literally never would have known. That is not the best way to show the existence of a villain, but I digress.

Any thoughts?

I agree. I do not have high expectations for Mordremoth and the other dragons after the Zhaitan fiasco.

We are only seeing the beginning of Mordremoth’s story, not the end. There is a lack of intelligent enemies to drive the story but hopefully more will come in the next Living Story. The Shadow of the Dragon will probably return in the final chapter of LS2.
