Now many people are saying throughout the game and the forums that gwen might or might not be a hero in EotN. Now, if she is, great, then we can make her amazing and take her along on a dungeon run. BUT if she isnt, she is still obviously an important role in GW:EN, hell her name is in the anagram! All im worried about is if she'll become the "white" kormir, if u know what i mean. if u dont then let me enlighten you. a freeloading, lazy, know-it-all, that doesnt do SH**, follows u around, and takes all the credit for the victory in the end and becomes a goddess for doing nothing but navigating through a desert while being blind and worthless to the team.. PLEASE A-NET, DON'T MAKE GWEN A PIECE OF CRAP LIKE KORMIR! WASN'T SHE WORTHLESS ENUF IN PRE-SEAR?

Um...MAJOR SPOILER WARNING ON THE ABOVE TEXT!!!

And yes, we are all excited about Gwen's appearance again. We are all emotionally connected to her, OK? So just LEAVE IT OK?!! Just Kidding! But seriously, it's a game people, don't worry about it too much.

how is it major spoiler, watch the damn trailer from the official site.

Vinraith · Jul 20, 2007, 05:44 AM // 05:44

Am I the only one that finds Gwen irritating in pre-sear and honestly couldn't give less of a damn what happens to her?

Anyone that attended the Dragon Festival Finale this year has seen the "spoiler" since the Emperor said it in his speech. As well, the Master of Ceremonies had a spoiler in his initial text.

She'll probably be like Prince Rurik, Master Togo, Kormir...essential to the storyline and participating in quests, doing very little to assist in your survival, instead body blocking or bolting into the fray. There's a common thread to leading characters so my guess is she won't be a hero and will meet her doom. Then again, she might be the first one to survive or be a useful henchie like Mhenlo, but not a hero.

It does beg the question, why do they die once and become undead, ghosts and gods when we can die a million times, save all of their butts and remain mere mortals? I think we'll be the ones immortalised at the end of GW:EN and Gwen will live on to tell our tale.

my niece played guild wars and liked gwen. she would just bring gwen along and even bought her the cape and all lol. and sometimes she would just sit and read the comments gwen would say.

Hey, at least Kormir doesn't go all Leroy on you and get killed every chance she gets, unlike some other storyline characters. *coughrurikcough*

freekedoutfish · Jul 20, 2007, 08:25 AM // 08:25

People do realise that if Gwen makes an apearance, she wont be that sweet little girl anymore?

She's going to be either a teenager or a young 20something!!

Anet might have already shown us her already, but we wouldnt realise it!!

But expecting her to be in the game, just because the game name happens to abreviate to GW:EN is wishfull thinking. That was just a very good marketting scheme by Anet.

We know she will apear, because Anet has pretty much said she will. Not because the game name is similar!

Thunder79 · Jul 20, 2007, 08:26 AM // 08:26

I don't see her being old enough to be a hero or henchman...

She was what like 7 or 8 maybe in pre-searing...which means 6 years later she's 13 or 14...(the time of Eye of the North is 6 years after the Searing, that is stated in the trailer)

Like people have said...she'll be important to the storyline...driving it along...but I don't think she'll be hero material.

edit:
Freekedoutfish:
The trailer is narrated by gwen...and that is presumably her at the end of the trailer (Who looks like a young to mid age teenager)...pretty much guarantees she's in it...

dsnesnintendo · Jul 20, 2007, 08:28 AM // 08:28

if she isnt a hero ill be mad as it would be stupid to have all this antisipation(no i cant spell dont correct me) and then kill her(unless she is a zombie hero)

You: noo gwen is dead
henchie: but shes standing u.....(head bitten off)
you: this could come in handy...

Later at kamadan id1

You: thats it gaile make my update if you value your head
gaile: i guess i have no ch...(head bitten offf)
you: BAD GWEN

ReiNaruto · Jul 20, 2007, 08:29 AM // 08:29

I dont want she become a irritating brainless hero, I hope she is just the main npc of the storyline. I appreciatte her so much.

Metal Herc · Jul 20, 2007, 08:36 AM // 08:36

I really don't get whats go great about gwen. I can understand that some people like the fact that she was in prophecies and that its nice to see her grow from that girl to something else.

Hopefully the story they give her in GW:EN will draw me in. Other wise she'll just be another annoying NPC who wants me to give her a bunch of stuff :P

There is no IF about it now. Check out the new GW:EN trailer, it shows the grown up Gwen and has her narrating the vid. Very cool stuff.

I think that they are just NPC's not heroes, the three clone norn brutes seem some kind of henchie not heroe.
