New GW2 player discovering this for the first time. Such a charming story. "Get three Asura together and you'll have four opinions." Gods, the writing was strong then.... oh wait, it still is! "We killed five elder dragons and a god. Of course we die in an elevator."
I only now realised Vekk is also voiced by the brain from "Pinky and the Brain" XD Also, while playing eye of the north ages back, though never making it max rep, its cool to see these old cut scenes with more context now.
In GW2 I found the Norn to be the least interesting race. Just giant humans with Viking inspired traditions. This actually does a better job at fleshing them out.
I can't believe how much the story, the dialogue and the cinematics are better in this game than in Guild Wars 2. And I never played Guild Wars 1. How did Arenanet go from this to that crap we got in GW2? Whose idea was to make those crappy cinematics?
yeah and it took an entire army and airships lol. in gw1 times the six divines were still present in tyria, so the average hero channelling their magic was far stronger, as were their enemies. if bloodstones keep exploding in gw2, maybe things'll change though
@@Masaru_kun If you're trying to justify it in lore, there's an answer. Go to the Hall of Monuments and talk to Micah Fergson. He says "Any skills I once taught pale in comparison to the power you wield, hero." On top of this, we know the ambient magic level in GW2 is higher than it was in GW1, even before the deaths of dragons/gods, or detonations of Bloodstones. The GW2 hero is explicitly, canonically, more powerful than the GW1 hero.
Precisely mate! I cannot agree more... it's just devastating how the story changed in GW2.. the gameplay and graphics are nice but the story.. the story... fell to the ground in my opinion..
+Bacon Tree pretty much, that's also how the charr and norn came to respect each other so much, one day while on a patrol a charr warband encounters a single norn, who proceeded to drive back the entire warband.
+Teofil “Amnail” Raicu don't forget that up until eye of the north, the charr were only ever seen as bad guys who destroyed ascalon (with the exception of like, one lone charr you run into in the realm of torment in nightfall)
Teofil Raicu there's still a lot of racism against charr in kryta, and vice versa with the charr vs humans in gw2. they have a very long history of not getting along and even people in the moar recent history oppose making peace. it's really interesting. very relateable to social issues in our own world as well.
