one thing that does annoy me about the Gw2 story is how after the plot reveal of the dragons being necessary to the planet happens, everyone starts acting like this was an obvious fact that everyone just knew, and that the commander is an idiot for killing two dragons. nevermind the fact he wasn’t even the person leading the attack in the first case, and only took over the lead in the second case because their command structure fell apart.

also kind of irritating because I like Trahearne but it’s another example of how while he’s alive, he gets all the praise for everything you do, and then when he’s dead you get all the blame for everything he did. people even start calling you things like “leader of the pact” and “commander of the pact” even though you were never the leader, aren’t in the pact anymore, and actually rejected taking over command a few episodes ago.

and it would be one thing if the game was self-aware about it, but it seems to genuinely want you to think that the dragon plot reveal was an obvious fact that you just ignored. like everyone in Elona seems to be aware of how all this works and you’re mocked on several occasions for killing the dragons, but for years before this point no one had a fucking clue and Taimi was the one to figure it out. so if it wasn’t for you and your guild, people still wouldn’t be aware of this

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #I hate when writers in a game change and it stops making sense because they just don't care about staying consistent #I hate feeling like a game is trying to rewrite itself as if I didn't play it #there's so many bits of dialogue and etc in the last two expansions where I've had to be lie #''ok just gonna ignore that was said''#because the continuity of the story has basically been thrown away #and again if they were self aware about it #like they acknowledged people are basically misrepresenting events and using the commander as a scapegoat #but so far that hasn't happened #and in fact they had Braham say after Joko's speech #''lol well we do cause a lot of chaos''#like the game actually wants you to believe you're the ones directly causing problems #it's just grinds my gears tbh #because it's like #''go do this thing''#[does thing]#''HAHA LOOK AT THIS IDIOT DOING WHAT WE TOLD HIM TO DO''#stop trying to force the disgraced hero narrative anet #the way you are trying to implement it is not working #also like if everyone basically knew this anyway #why did nobody stop me gffdshfgdslhg #the Pale Tree knew they came from the dragons #you telling me she didn't also know that dragons are necessary to nature??#yet she sent off three of her kids to go murder TWO dragons in a row???#I'm sorry it's just so dumb
