As some of you know me, I am an avid critic of GW Factions. I really criticized and hated the game. But there's something different about Nightfall...

With much skepticism, I played through and finished that Jokanur Diggings mission. I must admit, I am very impressed with the new cutscenes. As expected the mouth movements were a nice addition together with the very much improved voice acting. (GOD, I hate Shiro and Danika)

What really caught my attention was that compared to Factions (which was a major disappointment imo) they never used the in game emotes too much. In fact many of the movements between the that chick in the purple gown and her teacher were scripted. Even the spy hiding in the corner has scripted movements which made me go "WOW, what has Anet done? This is shocking!". The way she peered around the corner and her facial expression as well.

I know Anet is split up into teams one working on one expansion while another works on the next one. The team that made nightfall fortunately was the original team that made Prophecies. I enjoyed playing Prophecies and the nightfall preview even has shown how well they can make a game.

A BIG thumbs up to ANET. You've turned an angry critic to an optimist.

Anybody agree?
