I'm just generally having fun with it, overall. I like seeing the new bars for the White Mantle, and the Ebon Falcons have pretty amusing quotes when they join you, too. (I like how just about every last one of them has an opinion on the Gwen/Thackeray relationship.) Kryta's a lovely place, and it's a lot more challenging now than it used to be, so I'm having fun.

And, hey, extra storyline is always good.

She does not come across as a survivior, as a strong female to whom I want to identify with (I happen to be female). If this was a regular story and not a MMORPG, I would still not like her. As important as she is to the story, I'm surprised the writers have not done a better job. Writers usually want their main protagonist to be likable, or as least admirable.

So, I blame the writers.

Really? I think she's cute! The way she seems all strong and confident when it comes to battle and strategy, but inexperienced and shy when it comes down to her surroundings. I like how she's a typical teen who sees the world in one way and who pity herself so much to a point where she's actually selfdestructive. She is a character who is under development and I like that: She doesn't have all of her emotions and opinions settled, which makes room for development, and I think we can all agree that the WiK will probably lead to Gwen coming in with an "I'm sorry I was such a fool, Thackeray" thing later, making her all the more settled.

Gwen is a personal favorite of mine, (don't like Rurik who has been settled all along. He's a boring story, but his stubborn father is more fun to follow)
