Guild Wars 2

Brought a character through the personal story quest at 30 to begin the Order of Whispers line. I entered the instance to meet with Tybalt.

I’ve recently completed the storyline on another character, so I skipped the initial cinematic with Tybalt entirely. Skip to End before the characters were even on screen.

Tybalt bows and leaves, Riel shows up, and I start the other cinematic. Only… for the second one, there was initially no audio at all. I heard my character say “I’m looking for my contact. A member of the Or—” and a few seconds later, Tybalt replied with his line. At one point in the cinematic, the bottom of the screen (where the subtitles are displayed) showed simply “Lightbringer Tybalt Leftpaw”. There was no other audio played.

I heard none of Riel’s discussion on the Order, throughout the entire thing.

Personally, it’s no big deal for me — I’ve seen it before a few times. However it’s certainly not working as intended.

Bonus side bug (related?): Many many NPC audio lines have very long pauses between speech. It sounds horrible, especially when one NPC interrupts the other (after a three second pause).
