Guild Wars 2

I’ll be honest and say I’m lending my support to Gnashblade, but not for the Fall of Abaddon fractals research or the reduced Black Lion chest keys price. I just find a Charr who seems to be hiding something and possibly doesn’t have much story behind him other than his position within the Black Lion Trading Company to be considerably more interesting than miss Ellen “I’m a typical goody-goody two-shoes human soldier” Kiel.

Just my 2 cents on the matter.

I rolled a Charr as my main because of a few simple things regarding the other races:

Humans: First off, far too generic. Secondly, most games that have humans in them make them able to do anything as any class (such as Mass Effect 3 multiplayer). Third, they stole Ascalon from the Charr, and they have the gall to claim that they have done nothing wrong and that the Charr are just as bad as the Dredge or Centaurs in the Ascalon Settlement (and the Centaurs were the original inhabitants of Kryta before the humans stole that too, or so I’ve heard). Simply put, I consider humans in MMORPGs to be boring and ignorant.

Asura: Though they are interesting, their “We are the superior race of Tyria, and everything else is genetic garbage!” makes me shake my head. I already know a lot of people like that in reality and have seen people trolling the comment sections of other websites with the same mentality of “I’m superior to you, so deal with it”, so the last thing I want to partake in is an entire race with that mentality.

Norn: I just found their lore not as interesting as the Charr lore, so while I didn’t choose the Norn for my first character, I do have a Norn alt.

Sylvari: This race just doesn’t really interest me much. They’re unique in my opinion, but just not interesting enough for me to want to play as one.

Simply put, I find the Charr to be the most interesting and enjoyable race to play.
