Too Human...Oh man, what a tragedy...

TH follows very closely to traditional mythology (while butchering it in the process). Guild Wars only does a few tidbits from what I can recall.

There are similar aspects because Guild Wars, like many games, are taken from real life stuff. In this case, both games have Norse influences, which is why they seem similar. You can say the same about Guild Wars and many games. They aren't references to Guild Wars, they're references to real life inspirations, just like many things in Guild Wars.

Nothing is taken from Guild Wars, they're just borrowing from the same source, Norse myth. And Too Human's tie should be obvious, because....well, the whole game is a bastardization of norse mythology.

Get educated, and start reading ancient mythology. You'll find that a ton of games borrow from them.

I was starting to wonder if anyone else besides me knew anything about Norse mythology (which is, btw, awesome, but so is ancient mythology in general).

thanks to Lyphen for that link.. I was starting to look into it myself as I had gotten a little tired of Japanese mythology and history of late and that kind of filled in some holes for me

Then come join my guild. We're small and fairly new, but we are a good guild.
