Buhaha. I don't see much Mathilda in Gwen, sorry. <.<

BUT Wouldn't you people say that a game needs to have these sort of characters too as far as NPC's go. You're not supposed to like all the characters and are supposed to really like others. The point is that different characters make you feel different things and get you emotionally involved.

IRL you don't like anybody and everybody. The game would be dull with just "nice" characters. Gwen has an important role imho.

I wouldn't mind an deeper insight into her life tho so we could get to know all sides of her and not just what is black and white.

Nian, why not? The exposition is the exact same: Both are young girls who lost their relatives, their home, and generally everything that's important to them. Both want revenge on the bad guys above anything else, and they learn to fight from someone who is a professional at it, plus a sort of parent figure.

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

Seriously? As I suggested earlier... bring her to the Underworld and she will go into this long moronic conversation with her dead mother... and waste a ton of your screen space. It is annoying and she should get into anger management. I like to go to UW with Gwen and Pyre at the same time because I get the idea that Pyre want to secretly murder them both and join the Aataxe in their mindless brutality.

Ooooh. I will have to take her to the UW just to see her rag on her mom.

Gwen needs some weed.

creelie · Jan 31, 2008, 06:11 PM // 18:11

I like that Gwen retains some of the attitude she showed when she was raining fire down on everyone . . . but why doesn't she do it anymore? I think she and Vekk should have had their professions switched.

Was there ever any use for all the flowers?

Anyway, I love Gwen. She's like your hot psycho-ex-girlfriend only with sweet mesmer action thrown in. rawr.

I was going to moan about Gwen but then I saw that... That's some very tough material, there. Can't really say anything to it besides a good old lol.

But meh, I'll have my say, anyway...

I found that I could always put up with Gwen and (as dumb as it is) I could sympathise with her past and how that made her angry... But I really was always hoping Pyre would give her a good slap to wake her up.

Pyre? I didn't actually mind him that much. He didn't blindly follow other people's ways and was willing to work with and, in the end, respect those he had been taught to hate and despise. He had more character than alot of the human Heroes despite what failings he may have had.

EDIT: I also agree with Nian on the whole like/dislike balance. Besides, not everyone likes likable people as they find it cheesy and sickly... Like our good ol' psycho-lover Mournblade, there. *Backs away*

I wanted to see me do that. They really should have added some extra scenes for Tyrian characters where you smack Gwen around and remind her that you ALSO experienced the Searing firsthand (and presumably had things fairly tough during that two-year timeskip)...

Rexion · Feb 09, 2008, 12:18 PM // 12:18

I understand where her anger was... but seriously, she became very unrelateable after 10 minutes into GW:EN....

Yes everyone around her died when she was a kid, but there is no need to have a stick up your ass and act like you are 46 with vengence when you are only 18...

Tyla · Feb 09, 2008, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Don't diss da gwen!

I'm talking about the character. I hate her. She's such a royal pain in the behind! It's like she's jacked up on ritalin. I just want to sit her down and tell her to chill the f**k out. Seriously.

Just wanted to have my rant. Anyone else feel this way? Are there any other characters you guys don't like? I don't mean in a game design way, just in an "If I met you I'd probably hate you" kind of way...

As you said yourself... calm down pet!!

Its a GAME!!!!!! Its not like she stole your boyfriend or broke your marriage up!

Mr. G · Feb 09, 2008, 06:09 PM // 18:09

GW:EN needed alot less Gwen, alot less charr (storywise that is) and alot more vanguard, the ebons we're the real backstory and humor to it...but so overlooked

i mean its a GW dads army, why would you ignore it?

Nemo the Capitalist · Feb 10, 2008, 05:56 AM // 05:56

The Hero=Hate
The NPC in pre and in the post beta party=I love her
The Expansion=A FREAKING GRIND FEST it sucks

OI-812 · Feb 10, 2008, 06:06 AM // 06:06

I don't hate her. She's annoying at times (like whenever she's in a cutscene) but as long as she performs the simple Mesmer tasks I lay before her she keeps her head.

As for all the flowers: I have a theory about what happened to them, but you need to have played Cave Story to understand.

And for Canthan characters, to tell her about how the Canthans went through something FAR worse than the Searing; the Jade Wind.

anonymous · Feb 10, 2008, 06:43 AM // 06:43

I hate Gwen just as much as I hate the Frog. They are both 2 overrated characters that have no reason to be liked as much as they are. I've never understood why either are so popular.
