Interesting, I’ve never seen that conversation!

Braham probably had his passive aegis up to take the blast damage, but the unblockable knockback sent both of them to the far side of the room, breaking his leg.

I think it’s pretty simple. Jory is hurt more because that makes for a better kiss moment. Rox and Bro-ham aren’t going to have the moment. They get a “friends stick together no matter what”

This seems pretty plausible too.

It happens in the background during the first choose your order mission for the Asura. While you’re waiting for the guy to come back to tell everyone how Dragons are eating magic.

There is a physical difference in the two as some others have pointed out and makes sense. Also, there is always that randomness in things like this. Take the many real life examples of car accidents where two people are in the backseat and one person dies from the accident while the other suffers only minor injuries. Although most things may be equal, minor random pieces can have major impacts.

I did have an Asura finish that part of the story, but it must have been before I cared about it, because I so don’t remember it. But very cool. I guess Charr are smarter than humans and norn… But in a different way. Sylvari are just dragon minions though. Hahaha

Charr invented flint lock and industry, so of course they are. Sylvari are just more significant for a variety of reasons.

Sylvari are significant… But in what way and why? They’re so new to Tyria. It blows my mind that they have achieved such significance so early.

I figured it was because Marjory was closer….

Braham was stood rather statically nearby, talking
and then Majory went in for a charged-attack, thus looked closer (right up until the clip where both got blasted back)

Could also be that: Scarlet was targeting Marjory (as she was the one attacking)
or simply a case of how they both landed
Braham- landed on leg, hence broken
whereas Marjory looked more as though she landed on had head/face

They didn’t have to waste time growing up. They’ve existed for 26 years and they’ve spent all of them being fully functional adults, who don’t age. Also, being plants, they don’t necessarily have to eat drink or sleep as we would know it, giving them that much more time to be productive.

Echou.1923:

Let’s see, we got a human spellcaster and a sturdy norn warrior 2 times larger than the spellcaster.

The larger one would fall harder, just saying.

Ever hit a deer with your car, and the deer walked away?

Plus with Braham being a Guardian with better armor and magic devoted to personal shielding, I give Braham the edge.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Poor Marjory, you’re not wearing enough clothes!

Come to think of it, with Kasmeer wearing nothing but aether and a smile, how is she getting through these fights?

In the books, the norn characters would run straight into battle and the main character would note how if a human had tried the same feat, they would have surely died. Norn are naturally tougher than humans lore-wise.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Judging from the way she was hiccuping during the final scene, my guild decided that she must have been partaking of some liquid fortitude before/during the fighting.

If you look at the cutscene you’ll see that both Braham and Marjory are suspended in the air for a short amount of time before being thrown.
If I remember correctly mass does not affect the path of a projectile in motion (the projectiles in this case being Marjory and Braham). Also, since they weren’t thrown very far, air resistance should be negligible.
That means that the differences in the injuries are most likely caused by their physical differences as well as they way they landed.

Wouldn’t that prevent him from being knocked back too?

From the scene it shows that Marjory ran directly at the blast, hence absorbing most of it. Braham on the other hand seem to broke his leg as the result of the unfortunate fall. Which would explain Kasmeer and Rox being lucky enough to land safely, getting away with only few bruises.
Regardless when I thought Marjory died I went berserk. At that point I just wanted to see Scarlet dead.
As I made that final blow, my mind cleared. It’s almost like I became my character for a second there. Started thinking rationally again. I wished Scarlet was still alive, so she could be questioned. That I might have overreacted.
Then I saw Marjory wake up. Tear went down my cheek. They created something that I though could not be recreated since our mentors died. I actually cared for those characters again. Something I told myself I’d never do again after watching Sieran die.

My response was “Kitten that naked Mesmer is going to die and I’ll have to revive her.” And I ran after Kasmeer. I like Marjory, but I never suspected she was dead.

But Kasmeer obviously studied at the same school Anise and Lady Wynne went to.
Have you seen the illusion army?
Both my Mesmers are in envy of her.

As for the Sylvari- we are the master race- we emerge fully grown with a knowledge of how to be.
We can fight from birth and as saplings we are interested in all things

The fact that we glow at night are just a bonus

It’s a well known fact that all Sylvari taste of okra. It’s a basic aspect of their anatomy. Just like humans taste like pork.

Lol I was thinking in comparison to Majory. ‘huge’ ‘small’ etc are always sort of relative to whatever they are being compared to/against.

The immersion problem I can relate to. For some reason or another I had turned my back to Scarlett just as the cutscene started. Spent the entire scene facing away from here.
At some point I gave up hope of me being realigned and started to believe my character was punishing Scarlett with indifference. Of course then I had to ask myself, why I went there in the first place.

That aside, I have to admit I liked the scene.However I’m still waiting for Rox to realize that she already has a warband, sort of. Ableit one with a curious lack of Charr.

Umm.. so you’re saying that your legs can take as much punishment as, say, a bears? You really have no idea what you’re talking about.

I think it might have already been said, but Norn aren’t just bigger Humans. Norn are very much non-green hulks. They are brutally strong and built. If you have seen the Norn starting cinematic, you can even see a Norn lifting a boulder as big as him, or bigger.

Norn also produce a lot of body heat, and that is why you can see Norn sleeping around in the snow, or walking very light clothed in it without getting injured.

This is true,

But I still can’t figure out why Braham was on the ground for so long just because of a broken leg. So much for his legend!
