    I hate that any personal story that individualized your character ended at Level 30ish or so, and then you were just 'the commander', now on a bench with other characters you consider your inner circle of friends, and you own a pet dragon. And some personal dialogue you have with other characters is written in such a way that it doesn't differentiate you from any other race, regardless of having more depth or insight with a character (sylvari for Caithe, asura for Zojja, charr for Rytlock, etc). Having more options to agree or disagree with NPCs and their dialogue would take more work, but I would have liked it more.

  • @AntonMochalin
    @AntonMochalin Рік тому +5

    One thing that's really missing and important for the lore is the role of magic being not only some "art" etc but actual substance. Dragons eat magic and accumulate it. Bloodstone accumulates magic and that starts guild wars. Now we have a lot of free magic around after the dragons have been killed and the demons from other realms come to eat that magic.

    I never played GW1, I started with GW2 back in 2012. About a year ago, I bought GW1 since I love GW2 so much and have been playing through it bit by bit. I gotta say how awesome it is to meet people that are legend in GW2. How awesome it is that GW2 is an honest to god sequel and how many eureka moments I've had playing through GW1 after having spent so much time in 2.

    • @AzureRoxe

    The question I want to know is why are the dragons angry? They seem to be fundamental forces of nature more so than actual beings with motivations. And sure if you fuck with them they’ll fuck you back but I see no reason why they’re all angry to begin with. They should be chilling even if they’re active. The dragons are required to keep nature in balance, as when they die it creates a chain reaction of events arguably worse than the dragon being alive itself.

    @maddyleaf 4 місяці тому

    I used to love the lore pre-GW2 and the idea of fighting the elder dragons which were hinted at, at the end of GW1 was a great setup I was excited for. But holy shit I could just never get over the insane tonal shift from dark, mysterious and serious to upbeat, whimsical and cartoonish. Also, I know that you earn the title of commander, but having people constantly refer to you as commander makes me want to stick pencils into my ears, it's just that kind of painful cringe, especially with the Ubisoft tier voice acting.
    BUT, I recently came back and played SOTO and I do appreciate that some old theories and questions from GW1 are brought back and while I haven't finished SOTO yet, it's pretty enjoyable so far. I just have to play with dialogue turned off and sadly can't seem to escape the word "commander" every single sentence.
    That being said, I love everything else about GW2 and it's great to return to it once in awhile and get lost for a few months. If someone somehow read this stupid comment, thanks for reading my dumb schizopost. BYE.

    5:13 with the power of main character xD..... bro you just gave me a brilliant idea.. man If I was in lead of the story at Anet I would have the main character die in some massively heroic and dramatic way saving friends etc. and then you like continue to play as someone else or something. Well I guess we could say this soft fluffy story telling in GW2 could use some massive clusterf%cks

      Hmm. We have had a chapter where we die and go to the afterlife, and we have had chapters where we play as others (caithe and braham come to mind). But they weren't directly related.
