They should have her get over it and marry a char - perhaps a relative down the line could show up in GW2

I like that she's all fiery. And given her back story, who can blame her if she's a little psychotic?

Gwen is hot.

Leah Stone.

Nuff said.

I used to hate pre-searing Gwen, but that was more about her ability to get in the way and bodyblock near corners. Now I find her entertaining - silly/cute kid, desparate escapee, vengeful angst-ridden young woman. It would be kinda nice to see her mature and develop further, but it's a game with a very limited storyline - as is, she's got the best character development of any NPC by far.

Gadd is the most annoying I've come across so far. The way he abuses those around him, throwing away the lives of others and ridiculing those who care about safety. Makes me want to grab him by his ankles and slam him into a chain of golems.

At least he does you the favor of not being around anymore after you do the Asura branch of the game.

I liked cute little pre-Searing Gwen. She chats with you, gives you little heals, plays music, and is so friendly.

I figured whatever she came back as wouldn't be pretty after that whole bit with her burning everything down in-game, but I could have done without the scenery-chewing and braying she came back with. Yeah, she's a teenager. Yeah, bad stuff went on. But there's really no call for "You are all animals. SAVAGE... ANIMALS... AND I WILL DANCE ON YOUR GRAVES!"

Shut up, post-Searing Gwen. And thank you, Norgu, for existing.

And thank you, thread, for bringing so much funny on the first two pages at least. XD

shes annoying and a mesmer... not really anything good about her.

Jake_Steel · Jan 30, 2008, 08:05 PM // 20:05

I love Psycho chicks, Gwen is my favorite GW character period.

My GF teases me about the BMP Gwen mission because I refer to her as JB Gwen.

Personal favorite is Devona. A woman with a hammer and she knows how to use it

all i can say is... since when did they allow primary class changes?
beta... Gwen walked into ascalon and blew everyone up with the fiery reign of hell...
GW:EN... she is now a mesmer? WTF.

genofreek · Jan 30, 2008, 10:06 PM // 22:06

Also, as a child she was a mini-healbot. :P

The end of the beta wasn't canon, it was just a fun little thing they threw in to end it. The BMP explains how she becomes a mesmer.

Nah, the BMP doesn't explain shit. It told me nothing I didn't already know.

Yeah, I thought I saw another EotN rant topic when I read the name. For the sake of it, GW:EN was a horrible let-down and failure. It was just an overpriced advertisement for what, at this rate, may be a not-too-great game anyways.

Gwen herself, though, I hate. With a burning passion. Of flames. She was damn annoying in Pre-Searing, and just as much irritating now. That bitch needs to take a drink of water, inhale a Sharpie, and stfu.

why would i bother buying the BMP? It seems like a waste of money just for a bunch of extra missions that I would have to H/H because people have branded pugging as bad because of the idiots that run W/E fire storm builds.

I believe the BMP missions are all solo (plus NPCs, in some cases) anyway, actually. Whether they are worth the price, however, I cannot say, since I haven't played them.

As for Gwen, good grief, people. She's an AI character -- not worth hating, really.

Gwen used to be cool, now she's an idiot. Trauma or not, she has issues that aren't cool.

Gwen is not exactly a likable character, which is kind of weird since she is the inofficial name-giver for the first and only expansion of Guild Wars. She is a lot like Mathilda from the movie Léon, except that Mathilda eventually grew up till the end of the movie. Gwen remained, for all we know, at the stage where Mathilda took Leon's gun and fired random shots out of the window, i.e., venting her understandable frustration, helplessness, and loneliness in an irrational and potentially self-destructive way.

Through in-game behaviour, cutscenes, game trailers, mysterious items, and numerous other references and hype, Gwen has become a sort of legend and mystery of herself, some kind of inofficial mascot to the GW series that required further elaboration, but ANet failed to create an actual conclusion to her development. Or is it an actual conclusion to say "And she lived full of hatred ever after"? That's why I dislike her as a character.
