Guild Wars 2

The Personal Storyline episode Against the Corruption is really messed up.

First, Trahearne and the other NPCs didn’t seem to want to follow me. I kept moving forward and wound up fighting solo through most everything. When we got to the entrance, they talked about how there was no way around: we’d just have to fight our way through. But when I attacked, it didn’t take too long for me to realize I was alone again, and I got overwhelmed. I restarted from a waypoint, and saw that the NPCs had stopped shy of the entrance, and gotten themselves wiped out. Some careful luring let me finish off the group that killed my “support”, but for a minute they STILL didn’t want to follow me to the entrance.

Eventually, Trahearne began moving inside with me. (ONLY Trahearne? Was everyone else supposed to stay outside the crypt, or just Gretchen?) Anyhow, the two of us worked our way in to the area where Trahearne would attempt his ritual. I only defended him through a mere FOUR bad guys when the ending cutscene popped up and Trahearne got a “talk to me” star over his head. After the “end” scene, I had to fight a bunch more more bad guys, including a Vet before “Risen Gretchen” came running in along with all the NPCs we had left outside. I killed Gretchen, and THEN talked to Trahearne and selected my next course of action. (He had his “talk to me” star up the whole fight).

In a nutshell: no helper NPCs followed me. Trahearne only reluctantly came along. The ending cutscene fired off before the end. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

UPDATE:

I did this PS on another character. Trahearne is the main culprit. He really doesn’t want to follow you unless you go back and stand in front of him. This happens pretty much through the whole episode. If you get a little ahead of him he’ll just stand there.

The ending cut-scene arrived at the proper point this time, after killing all the bad guys plus Risen Havroun Gretchen.

But Trahearne really needs to take a bravery pill or something.
