Guild Wars 2

Konig Des Todes.2086:

The Personal Story had some good points. Mainly, it was that each plot was convincing, and most of the NPCs felt like developing or developed characters. Mostly. By which I mean 95% of the time give or take.

But it had a lot of bad points too. You move on to a completely different storyline too fast, and completely ignore past storylines once they no longer matter. The mechanics are dull. The cinematics in the rare cases there are real cinematics and not the two-characters-side-by-side (which while not bad… there’s a lot of story steps where they’d be greatly improved by switching those out with HoT’s open world dialogue) are often bland, boring, and buggy. And the story instances were too short.

The good and bad points effectively switched around with Season 2. But one thing remains consistent, and this is a bad thing: it’s too rushed.

I loved the cinematics with the characters side by side! The open world dialog moves so fast and sometimes if I’m not looking the right way or my volumes down I will miss it! But yeah it was kind of rushed in retrospect but the character development was really good. Just sucks that I did it on my main 2 years ago and I can’t go back now and do it again on my main just for fun haha

You might be the only person to ever say that the personal story is better than LW1/2 / HoT.

Personal story was … horrendous.

I think I might just be a nostalgic person because I totally miss it and would love to do it again haha

lately living world and now heart of thorns story (so far) dont really give me the same vibes that I got from the original personal story which had all these little things in it like those 1on1 dialog cutscenes and it makes me a little sad, I kinda wish I could replay personal story.. I dont mean to whine at all though anet did a great Job with heart of thorns i was just wondering if anyone else was getting the same feelings i am
