Guild Wars 2

I will probably start off with that I never really liked scarlet, as a character or villain. The start of the LS was very rough and started quite sour. By the time she arrived, it didn’t bode well and her entry seemed to only make things worse for me and many others.

However… Things just started to begin unfolding as to her plot, her motives and how she managed to do all of this and why. I became interested in that part of the goings on, even if I still had a number of issues with her that can’t be overlooked, she had me intrigued at this point.

But sadly, little to late as we neared the end of the story. Things were just getting interesting and they had to end. The more major disappointment was that one of those last patches contained absolutely NOTHING in terms of learning anything. Which was a major disappointment.

Finally, we are at the end. Some of us know how it goes down too. But instead of having everything answered, all I seem to have is more questions. I’m not shocked or surprised in any way. I am disappointed that everything ended before it flowered so to speak.
Teased and taunted as to getting these answers only to have them stripped away and only be thrown more speculation and others with no chance of them likely ever being affirmed now.

In any case, this end was a mix for me. It meant there was some interesting things to look forward in the future, but at the cost of feeling empty and incomplete now. What did I learn? Why did I learn it? What was it all for? It almost seemed wasted getting invested. The one thing we did learn was going to be thrown at our faces no matter what we did, but the rest… Sometimes it’s the little things that matter.

I doubt the follow up patch will explain much, maybe a few but might as well throw down my questions as well. Perhaps you too had questions that didn’t get answered, throw them down here too.

-Was Taimi connected to Scarlet deeper than her technologic fascination?
-Why did the Nightmare Court aid Scarlet? There was no mention of motivation or gain compared to the others.
-What was Caithe’s secret? How does Caithe Know Scarlet?
-Why did her alliances continue to fight for her after each one was foiled miserably?
-Did Scarlet have anything to do with Southsun?
-How did she manage to get a Thumper in LA unnoticed?
-Why all the attacks and invasion when the goal could have been accomplished much more easily discreetly?
-How was Scarlet so accepted by the other races so easily to master their finest methods? Not to mention this went wildly unnoticed for something so strange.
-Where did she get all the resources to pull off all these elaborate plans?
-Why did Omadd help her and inevitably break her mind?
-If Scarlet had been successful, what would she have done then? What about the voices?
-How was she able to ‘bully’ the Aetherblades into fighting for her?
-Why the pointless invasions?
-Who was Mister E?
-Why so little involvement from the Orders and other factions?
-Why a multiracial Inquest faction? How did this help the composition?
-How did Queen Jennah amass such an army of Watchnights?
-What were the details regarding Zojja and Taimi given the relationship?
-What did the Inquest know about the ley lines prior to Thermanova? How did they discover it? Why did they discover it?
-What was the point of the Marionette in the grand scheme of things?
-Why did Scarlet free Mai?
-What did the EOTM have to do with Scarlet and her plans with Mai?
-Why did our ‘Heroes’ dismiss any opportunity to learn ANYTHING when presented with it? Especially when it mattered most.

This is just a small list but… you get the point.

Sadly, she doesn’t seem to inspire many jokes compared to the almighty Trahearne. When you are that bad to not get much of a chuckle from anything, there’s problems. =/
