Some questions about GW's - Guild Wars Forums

ritalin24 · Apr 25, 2005, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Hello, just started checking this game out again and wow, it is looking to be what I have always wanted from an online rpg. Just a couple questions to confirm this.

Will this be a rpg that wraps you up in a story of some sort, with believable environments that are also memorable? The towns look amazing.

How unique will each character be? is there enough armor and items to really make most characters stand apart? I know when I ran through the first 22 levels of EQ2 almost everyone that was the same class as me looked like me because of the shortage of variety. I love stuff that makes me stand apart from everyone else. Maybe some help with these questions will forfil my purchase come tuesday.

Thanks!

Yes, there is a huge story. Just imagine Lord of the Rings if Sauron had won. That's Guild Wars.

This game ain't about leveling. When you reach level 20 your will still have plenty to do. The side quests, trading, finding cool weapons, plus PvP will keep you busy.

Characters a very customozable. There are 6 professions. You can choose a primary and secondary for each character. Each profession has 75 skills/spells each. So, you've got 150 spells from which to choose. You can customize your armor and weapons at the weapons specialist in Ascalon City. Plus pick any 2 professions for your character.

Not only will your character be customizable, you can customize it for each mission, quest, or arena.

Characters really don't stand out since you craft your armour at a npc handing in gold and items for it. So basically everyone will look nearly the same. I did see some video interview and they planned to put in alot more content as far as this goes.

Each mission I played had some form of cinematic at the end, but usually people would vote to skip them. So because of that you get more into the story than it might have otherwise.
