Guild Wars 2

There’s one thing I’d like though: More NPC dialogues in the new Lion’s Arch!
In old LA there were many NPCs, that could tell you something about their home, but nowadays all the NPCs ignore me, if I press [F] on them.

I’d like more of this everywhere! There are so many NPCs everywhere that have bits of information scattered all across the core maps, it was fun when you happened to stumble upon one. Nowadays, even the major characters like Marjory don’t tend to have anything to say unless it’s part of a scripted conversation. What ever happened to the easter egg hunts?

Do you want to know more about Marjory though? Is there noone or something else you’d rather have more information about? like what happend with all the Gargoyles? or an excavation or the temple of ages? Has Ogden Stonehealer nothing to say after all these years?…. MARJORY!? =[

so Castigator and Gorgaan Peaudesang. you seem quite satisfied with gw2 characterisation (?)
is it comparable with let’s say Starcraft 2?

well I guess I am a sucker for characters driven mad and it justifies her annoying personality she got after she looked into the eternal alchemy =p also I liked the Toxic Hybrid she created. (talking about Scarlet)

without looking them up on GW2 wiki I only recognized 5 of those names.

memorable characters i liked in GW1:

Pyre Fierceshot
Livia (!)
Palawa Joko (!)
Rurik
Vekk, Gadd, Oola
Jora
Kormir
Varesh
Shiro
Razah
The list can go on but those are my favorites.

Characters I like in GW2:

Caithe, Scarlet and Rox.

I dislike pretty much the rest of all characters in gw2. I think most characters and dialogues in GW2 are cringe, cliché and are hard to take seriously. It feels kid-friendly and amateurish.
What do you guys think?

do you think the storytelling in GW2 is bad? to me it doesn’t feel neither epic or cosy, not even like an adventure. it just feels like you go along with it sort of…

I’d like to see more ingame cinematics like gw1 or other games.
but I still think there’s more things missing to make the lore and storytelling more intressting…

any suggestions or oppinions about your lore experience in gw2?

for example I think the southsuncove islands could be really intressting if it had some kind of storymode-tour through the islands similar to the GW1 mission outposts.

I didn’t play when southsun cove was in action. So I have no idea what those islands are all about. they are beautiful but just feels random and abandoned. I think the living world events comes and goes to much. they don’t really make the game bigger since they are irrelevant later anyway.

if there in the future would come content which would be about perhaps the Mursaat, I would be really dissappointed if it’s gonna be handled the way living world event’s are being handled right now, I would probably stop playing in an instant and try to erase GW2 from my mind and ignore the rest of gw2 news etc. just to not destroy my beautiful picture of GW1 universe I have in my head. Like they did with the GW1 characters in catacombs. thank god they were not big characters in GW1. (exept Adelbern which they made feel weak and not a mighty king at all.)

If rumors are true about Livia (that she will make a comeback in GW2). She will probably not be potraited as a big deal as she is and when event is gone so will she be and noone will really remember her…

long story short; make Lore more instressting!
