Guild Wars 2

Hi, I accidently took charming instead of dignity (which I wanted to pick for variation this time) in the Asura character creation.

Can someone tell me if and what are the differences in the story if you have dignity instead of charming as personality?

I have Necromancer:
Skull.
Bronk.
Transatmopheric converter.
Synergetics.
Charm.

I wanted dignity instead of charming for my Necromancer.

Previously I had on my engineer.
Panscopic.
Blipp.
Val-A Golem.
Dynamics.
Charm.

Therefore I wanted to take a different route on my Necromancer.

Will I see a noticeable difference if my Necromancer has dignity instead of charm?
If there is a difference, what kind can I expect?

None whatsoever, they are currently useless even as fluff. Maybe they’ll add something to make use of it in the future.

I believe that all the “personality” choice ever did during character creation was give you an initial boost to said personality bar. I don’t believe it ever affected the actual story or locked you into anything, as you could always alter your personality by making certain choices in dialogue later.

Nowadays, it literally does nothing, because the personality system itself is completely gone. Not that it ever really did much to begin with, all it ever did was open up a handful of unique dialogue choices if you had a high enough value in a certain personality. From what little I’ve read, they originally intended it to be more meaningful prior to launch but cut back on it during beta, and then a future patch (well after launch this time) just removed it completely.

The personality choice during character creation is the only relic remaining of the system, pretty much. Well, that some of the dialogue choices that used to give you points in the various personality categories still showing up (even though they do nothing).

Okay so I can change the personality in the game, by making choices for the different personality in dialogues?

Besides, that, the personality doesnt affect the story or dialogues in any way, so therefore its not worth it recreating my char?

This is correct?

With the exception of the choice you make during character creation and a very, very, small handful of NPC dialogue choices, your “personality” doesn’t matter. It was, for all intents and purposes, removed from the game last year; the bars that used to indicate how many “points” you had in each trait were removed in April 2014. And even when it was still “part of the game”, it didn’t make any difference in your game play at all.

So you cant change it anymore during the game by choosing dialogues in a different personality?

Edit:
Grammar, change instead of chance.

You’ll get the little whoosh sound if you pick a dialogue option in a non-maxed personality trait. That’s it. It literally does not matter what you pick beyond your own internal RP, and you can change that as easily as you can modify a daydream

The choice remains in creation because it’s easier to leave it there. But really it’s just a vestigial useless thing. Don’t sweat it.

Yeah, I think the devs initially want to do more with this feature, and it just didn’t translate into the game. Don’t worry about it. It hasn’t been mentioned by devs maybe ever, so I doubt they’re going to introduce new content that is affected by it either.

Thanks all.
