dialogue choices when talking to Canach
He did try to kill us, for the record. And that was after causing basically everything that went wrong on crab island.
I think we should have 3 viable dialogue choices when we click these text based discussions. This way we get the illusion of choice over the bash my head with one route only.
Canach is a great character, and he is a welcome anti-hero to this story. But I feel our mistrust of Canach is partially what makes him sooo baddass. He gives us attitude, and interactions with him are usually quite tense. This makes him stand out really well in a story like GW2 where we usually get along with most characters.
It’s very refreshing to have a character we know is good, but in-universe acts incredibly shady and independent from the protagonist an allies. Whereas our character and allies are high-moral righteousness, Canach is someone dark, who makes violent jokes about severed heads, and he really can’t give a kitten whether or not we find it offensive. It’s kinda like Canach is more concerned with doing his own thing, through his own means.
Overall, just a very well handled character throughout the ENTIRE living story. ArenaNet better not mess him up. I would be annoyed if they ever did a cop-out with Mordremoth or something, considering Canach is so well liked by the community. I’m liking the chemistry with Anise, and I want to see more.
Those dialogue choices made me sound like a right prick
Well as my main is a Charr Necromancer dressed like Satan kittenolves most issue by killing things I found that the dialogue fitted rather well :P
Although some variety would have been nice, even if you’re given 3 dialog options which all lead to the same response. Of course I’ve been asking for more complicated dialogue trees for a while now, and it seems ANet has decided rather to simplify it (which does lead to situations like this where “my” character doesn’t match “ANet’s” character).
Still spoiler it seems Canach might be joining DE2.0, or at the very least will be playing a more prominent role.
I too wish we had dialogue choices when talking to Canach, even if it was just flavor text. Since he did the wrong thing for the right reason and has accepted his punishment, I would have preferred to encourage him to do better than constantly threatening him.

They sent assassins to kill him which he dealt with, then we as a group bust into his liar to attack him. What would you do? We were the invaders and he defended himself.
He’s completely misunderstood, his methods were indeed questionable but his heart was in the right place. He wanted to help the refugees and do something while no one else would help. It was only after Canach’s involvement that Kiel finally paid attention and intervened. Without Canach those refugees would probably still be slaves on that island.

I don’t even mind if its the illusion of choice. I’d be happy with this.
I really didn’t like the way I was aggressive and threatening towards him. They gave us choices when we were able to talk to Kiel and Evon. I liked the way I could tell kiel I didn’t vote for her and also liked to remind her that every time she walked past me in Lions Arch.
