Guild Wars 2

Please do something with the story. I stopped to read dialogues since I can’t really stand it any more and I’m getting allergic to my “friends” i.e. Rox, Braham, Marjorje and the other one, and the Tiame (or what is her name), I’m not sure if I hate them more than Destiny edge.
I like the game and I want to progress the living world, but the storyline and dialogues are really not on the same level like the gameplay. But I ran into funny small quests and interesting dialogues in the game so I guess this is just a problem of the main storyline design.

Eh. The story is far from stellar, but I mostly just pay attention to the important plot points and get on with it. It doesn’t really bother me anymore. After all, it’s a T-rated game; there’s only so much they can get away with, legality-wise and complexity-wise. And now they have China’s stricter censorship laws to worry about, too.

Also, MMO’s in general suffer from uninteresting story, given that every player is supposed to be the same hero that unites the factions and saves the world.

Anyhow, I tend to just be OK with it.

The story is much better than it was in Guild Wars and you actually have a story compared to a lot of Season 1. They are making progress in improving the story but it will not be instantaneous.

You, sir, have no idea what you are talking about.

I do. I’ve recently replayed through all four of the story lines and found GW2’s to be more enjoyable and much more involved.

I’ll make a minor edit that this is all my personal opinion.

Well, sorry, but . . .

I think this was done about on par with the Prophecies storyline, though Prophecies was better in some spots, and GW2 better in others. I think it’s better than Factions by a nice measure, but not as nice as most of Nightfall.

. . . it’s nowhere near as interesting or engaging as Beyond though. War in Kryta, Hearts of the North, and Winds of Change all were incredible to me. Good work with the characters, it felt like our characters did something important, and the challenge was at that sweet spot of “not easily facerolled” versus “makes me want to punch puppies”.

Well it is not a rating issue at all. In fact you CAN play a Shakespeare with puppets and it will still be Shakespeare, if you are a good artist. My problem is with the dialogues and namely the Kasmeer – Marjory dialogues. It reads like a 13teen old boy virgin fantasy who believes that love is about finally getting laid, and the best imaginable lover is a busty blonde sex doll sidekick, smart as a brick (just check Kasmeer Meade lines). While Marjory is the other part of the fantasy, the responsible hero leader who is great, well, at anything. At least this was my main impression from the part where I was still trying to read it.
I don’t remember what was BG2 rating but Viconia romance dialogues were something. So you really do not need a mature rating to make it good.

I would like to be able to skip the dialogues and cutscenes and just go straight into the gameplay.
