I think many will ignore it because of the lukewarm reception of the personal story. But for those that have a degree of appreciation of the PS, I’m in the part where you choose your preferred order. I’m playing as a male mesmer asura btw.

Reasons to go Priory:
- My 1st character’s part of the Priory
- The Personal Story instance where the Priory asura scholar hosts a press conference is better than the instance story of choosing the Whispers (it’s where you kill Rakt)

Reasons to go Whispers:
- Tybalt. Just Tybalt.
- It’s interesting to know which NPC’s reveal to you that they’re part of the Order

So for those who listen, which of the two orders did you choose and why? BTW: I didn’t choose Vigil cause it’s the least interesting for me, pertaining to my male mesmer asura.

I have had a character in each of the orders.

I personally simply find the Order of Whispers to be most interesting and fun to play. Especially the early parts. I also find the OoWs method of fighting the Dragons to be most logical from a character point of view at the time.

My favourite reason for Whispers is as you say all the random undercover npcs scattered throughout the world with funny dialogue.

But I prefer Priory from a RP perspective. Flame me if you like but I prefer Sieran over Tybalt, and the interaction between Gixx and Sieran is priceless.

I have a character in each (although since I have 4 2 went to the Priory). Aside from 3 levels in the PS and who you get as a mentor there is not any real difference. Even after you get access to the Orr gates you can use any of the 3 sets of gates.

Do them all, even Vigil. They are fun. When in doubt or you have to repeat content, go with Tybalt.

I have several alts in each Order. I pick first based on what makes RP sense for the alt, and if none do, I pick one I haven’t done in a while.

I wouldn’t suggest doing the exact same one again if you haven’t tried all three. Whispers is generally the most fun, true, but there’s something to be gained from all of them.

Plus once you’re in an Order you have access to the skins for that Order, and when you buy them they go into your wardrobe. All your alts can wear any of the skins in their armor weight, even mix and match between Orders. So you do want at least one alt in each to get full access to as many skins as possible.

I’ve got at least 1 character in each Order and if my 1st was the Priory I’d choose Whispers second just for variety (mine were actually the other way around).

But I also do it based on what suits the character. My human ranger has several ancestors who were part of the Order of Whispers and surprisingly considering she can come across as very blunt and direct their method of working suits her perfectly.

Whereas my norn engineer is much more analytical, she likes to know what she’s getting into before she starts and is very interested in Tyria’s history so the priory was a perfect fit.

I prefer the Order of Whispers generally but while meant to be a funny character, Tybalt tends to almost reach Jar-Jar Binks in goofiness and forced “humor”. Based on that, i’d pick the Priory.

Neither. Go Vigil and stay at the “Forewarned is Forearmed” mission to kill rats for the weapon master achievements.

I did all three. Both multiple times.
I agree with L Step.

Go for whispers if you have al 3 chars in all orders.

Why? just because of Tybalt.
