Aaron, that would make sense
It still bugs me, though, since I will be going in for the achievement so many times xD

I’ve been away from GW2 for several months but started playing again because I thought “It’s the finale of season 1… I have to see what they do with it”. So after the battle against Scarlet I got into the instance with characters that I had no idea who were :P And then they spend AGES on character developing dialogue that I didn’t care about (It’s worth mentioning that I rarely play games for the story. Especially MMOs. I have never finished my personal story in GW2 and I usually skip all the cutscenes, unless they provide useful info on the task ahead.), so I wanted to skip the cutscenes, but I couldn’t. That surprised me. I have hardly ever been in a cutscene in GW2 that I couldn’t skip. And then when the last cutscene came, I COULD skip it, even though it was the ONLY cutscene in the instance that was important to the story line, its art style was gorgeous compared to any other cutscene ingame, and the revelation/cliff hanger in the end was what I was there for. It seemed like I was being forced to watch the dialogue. And since I haven’t really felt forced to watch any cutscene in the whole game (maybe it’s because I haven’t encountered many cutscenes? Maybe it’s perfectly normal? Feel free to tell me I’m wrong, ‘cause I would like to be wrong) I got the feeling that Anet really didn’t want me to miss out on the “outrageous kissing scene”.
And don’t give me the “You wouldn’t care if it was a heterosexual couple”, ‘cause yes, I would. I don’t care for other characters’ personal development, when my own character doesn’t really have a personality at all. I also thought that Rox and Braham was talking way too much for my taste. And I don’t know any of the characters well enough to be interested in their romantic relationships.
I searched the forums for information on these characters, because I was hoping that they didn’t just throw a random lesbian scene in for the hell of it. And it seems that they didn’t, which is awesome. I don’t care about the kiss and I wouldn’t care about anyone else’s kiss (I haven’t ever before seen a cutscene where the characters’ relations are so important, so I was thinking that it was odd that this lesbian couple was suddenly so important and in that light it seemed forced, BUT I haven’t seen most of the game’s cutscenes (I assume) so I could easily have missed a lot of other romantic scenes) – I just want to be able to skip those kitten ed cutscenes
Especially when it apparently is going to take me 117 tries to get the “Nowhere To Hide” achievement…
And just to make it clear: I DO realize that character development and story is extremely important for many other players, so I’m not saying that the relationship shouldn’t be there. And I’m not saying that the kiss shouldn’t be there. But the fact that I couldn’t skip like usually and then could skip the very important ending, just confuses me. And above are just the thoughts that I had about it when I was in the instance :P
