The game itself is and will be one of my favorite games of all time, as mentioned, most of the game can be done solo with henchmen and heroes. I played all the guild wars games and I still have trouble keeping up with some of the lore, but its definitely worth the time to invest in the game if you don’t want to play guild wars 2 that is. I recommend creating a ritualist and playing through factions, then nightfall, after you gather the skills and hero’s prophecies should be a breeze.
