    They're PG-13. They're family movies.

    And are you saying you haven't seen the Harry Potter films? Blasphemer!

    I had very little interest in the Pirates movies as well,
    I just kind of assumed that everyone on the internet had heard the name "Captain Jack Sparrow" at least a few times. :P

    Oo, oo, I watched some of a harry potter movie!
    I may have walked out of the theatre, however.

    Defending the yak (from minotaurs, I presume?) is based on having chosen "cunning" as your most important trait. If you choose "instinct" or "strength" you don't get that quest. The Curse playthrough chose "instinct" and was told to go gather a flower from a grawl cave. I don't recall gathering eggs being part if any personal story, but at any rate the changes only make a difference one at a time, so, yes, if you choose wolf as your patron and someone else chooses raven, but you both chose "cunning" your story will start the same but may branch off later.

    I saw like bits of one of them on HBO years ago. Not seen or read anything related to that franchise.

    Well, I am aware of Johnny Depp as a Pirate. Not like I know it by name or movie reference. I just called him Captain Morgan. XD

    Get off my back!

    I am dissappoint.

    Then again, it's usually what I do with friends and family...

    This may come to news to you, but just because YOU don't know the lore of something doesn't mean it's not there.
    "Star Wars has major lore figures? I've never seen any of the movies, so I doubt it."
    "Warcraft has major lore figures? I've never played WCIII, so I doubt it."

    I just wanted to know if there was a cliff notes version of the lore (taking 15 hours right now, I cba to read book about videogames atm) that I could get involved in rather quickly.

    Dont be so testy man.

    If you can't be asked to do research, than you can ask politely. There's no need to be rude in previous posts. -Edge

    I think the reason for this is primarily because they have never bothered to experience Guild Wars lore at all. Never bothered to touch the original game. And so, basing their opinion entirely on what they know (which is nothing) they believe GW2 has nothing behind it.

    It's an easy assumption to make when you're still convinced that Blizzard is the king of everything MMO and that nobody else can hold up a candle to the giant lantern that is WoW, despite the game being 7 years old.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    You should be more clear as to what you're saying then, because you're coming off as a troll, so you can't blame me.

    GW2 doesn't have a "cliff notes" version any more than WoW possibly could. There's a lot more lore than people expect when they first peek at the game. There's an entire wiki on the world behind Guild Wars 2.

    "Im confused. What lore figures that anyone has ever heard of does guild wars have?"
    The ones in the books.
    "So none. Thanks for the heads up."

    Where, exactly, did you ask for anything along the lines of cliff notes?

    But the latest one has a mermaid who is almost constantly topless.

    Whatever crawled in the rest of your assholes you should get out. Makes the GW2 "pre-community" look real fucking welcoming.
    I like how you ignore the possibility that perhaps, maybe, your wording came across as aggressive.
    You asked if there were lore figures, we said the books, you said 'so none'.
    And you're surprised we didn't start linking you wikis and giving you hugs and kisses? :P

    The others can take a lesson on being a welcoming community from you sir.
    You're the one that made a post that came off very sarcastically, like, 'why should anyone care about lore characters that no one has ever heard of? Oh, figures from the books, so there is no lore at all.'

    With the way you asked it, you appeared to be a troll, and we don't take kindly to that around here.

    If you would have appeared to be genuinely interested, I would have been glad to help. I could have responded to your first post better, but again, you didn't seem like you were honestly interested.
