I don't mind the angst, she has had a lot of bad things happen to her for almost half her life. Unlike most emo kids who just think their life sucks.

*SPOILER*
At least Gadd gets blown up by his own arrogance.

Yeah, Gwen was annoying. I kept hoping my ranger would smack her down for her PITA attitude.

Terra Xin · Sep 08, 2007, 03:54 AM // 03:54

I like GW:EN - hands down.

Me so clevah!

Stolen Souls · Sep 08, 2007, 03:57 AM // 03:57

When she knocks Pyre down, instead of sitting there and taking it, he should have gotten up and ripped her arms off.

I don't like her much, btw >.>

Exactly. That's pretty much why I can deal with her rantings - they are pretty much justified, unlike most typical fussy teenagers. Honestly she would've either turned out the way she did, or incredibly withdrawn, one of the two. Frankly, I'm glad she's the former, she wouldn't be of much use if she was just curled into a fetal position in the corner.

That isn't a good thing. Psycho = you're gone.

Lol, Gwen is... Scary... But she is way better to have in the party than Norgu. If ego was AL Norgu would be invincible. I first thought pyre was pretty cool because he seemed to resent the Searing, but turns out he doesn't care about the Searing, hes just upset that he was lead by false gods. Now I hate him. Hayda doesn't annoy me, she makes me laugh. Usually I travel with Gwen, Livia and Vekk/Hayda/Pyre/Jora.

EDIT: Almost forgot about Gadd. 1 min into the cutscene I know I hated him! He was evil and obnoxious. When Oola came and told Vekk about Gadd's Death, I was kinda happy until Vekk put his head down and then I knew it was going to be another Luke Skywalker/ Darth Vader moment and I was like "Oh shit!". Poor Vekk lol.

Just to get that right, you dislike an 8 year old girl, that behaves like an 8 year old girl, raised in a nice environment?

Because we all know burning people to death is normal 8-year-old behavior. xD

Gwen has taken over Healbot Blues! Go see for yourselves.

She should have some revenge, but not with the feminist "I hate men" (that's what I get from her) attitude. Well probably replace Charr with men, but she's still silly. Pyre was the good guy for not killing her. If my guy would have killed Pyre, had Gwen gotten killed, I would have deleted him. HA! I win in the end.

Bah! Honestly, she was way too light on Charr. If she didn't become a hero so fast, I was assuming she would go twisted and try to kill us just for becoming friends with Pyre. That's what I'd expect from someone like Gwen going through what she went through. The only reason she probably didn't was because she doubted her own ability to overpower Pyre and us. I think we kept her in check.

Kook~NBK~ · Sep 08, 2007, 06:46 AM // 06:46

There's nothign wrong with Gwen. What were y'all expecting? Some nice, well-adjusted teen who's got a Martha Stewart complex and delights in playing the hostess? BAH!

Yeah, she's got a chip on her shoulder regarding the Charr. I'd be pissed too if they nuked my home, killed my parents, and destroyed everything I've ever known and loved, AND THEN took me prisoner and kept me in a cage just fattening me up for a nice dinner sometime in the future. Oh, hacking up and eating my fellow prisoners right in front of me wouldn't do much to improve my disposition, either.

However every 8 year old girl is not the same as the other; there is such a thing as a personality that does not always follow the ideals of society.

It was a mediocre cliché that felt bored and worn out. That’s what I can’t stand. I have seen many RPG’s do this before and again. Not to mention the locals who all seem to have a nice day until things go terribly bad. At least Fable (of all things) had the sister who knew things were too good to be true; just before she had her eye’s gouged out. She was not preppy; she was a bit more emotionally tied to the knowledge of what was going to happen. Nevertheless there were things that lacked in Fable too that were way too cliché there as well.

Winterclaw · Sep 08, 2007, 08:37 AM // 08:37

I like the character somewhat, but I think it would have been better if Anet wrote the part for Hillary Haag (of ADV fame).

I haven't finished the game, but I hope at one point in GWEN or the next expansion if there is one she finds a little peace and becomes a little more normal.

That’s an interesting point you bring up. Well I feel they might not answer that question right away, but through certain events that tie into GW 2. I would find it appealing, if the unlocks on the fellowship monument gave insight to what happen to your beloved heroes. Furthermore to have it as an unlock system tied to some special quests that allow you find the descendants of your favorite heroes. So that way these descendants can tell you about their ancestors lives. However this idea falls short with Razah who will be waiting for you in the next life anyways; waiting for your descendants. I say a half breed like him, is probably going to be around more then a few hundred years.

Anyways the point in being that Gwen probably finds peace is kind of clear when you see the dialog between Pyre and herself during the epilogue.

EPO Bot · Sep 08, 2007, 09:16 AM // 09:16

Why do all game chicks need to be like Devona or Livia?

Gwen ftw!

-Loki- · Sep 08, 2007, 09:40 AM // 09:40

Ironically, the most hyped up character, Gwen, has the worst voice acting in the expansion. I still like the character, but I cringe whenever she is in a cutscene. Now, Pyre Fierceshot, there's a great character with great voice acting.

Shoitaan · Sep 08, 2007, 01:42 PM // 13:42

Loved GW's:EOTN but HAAAAAAAATE Gwen the person. I think they just threw her in as just a massive bit of fan service to the proph lovers. Hated her then, hate her even more now...

The char hero however I seem to quite like and not just cause he'd maul Gwen given half the chance

Superdarth · Sep 08, 2007, 01:52 PM // 13:52

Well there is one good thing about Gwen: We get to hand her her rear in the Norn Tournament
