The Guild Wars 2 site was updated today with a look at how you can personalize your own experience and story within the game's universe. The Lore and Continuity Designer for Guild Wars 2, Ree Soesbee, takes us on a brief journey on how each player can have the game tailored to their own tastes.
Choices made affect your standing with those around you, your interactions with NPC's, and much more. Your biography is also dependent on your race, class, and location selected for your character in addition to your personal biography choices.
When you first build a character in the world of Guild Wars 2, you are faced with many questions. What race will you be? What profession? Most MMOs ask that much, and the answers are fairly straightforward. But Guild Wars 2 takes character creation a step beyond. It offers the player an opportunity to go deeper, with another roster of questions designed to develop a character's personality. These comprise a character's 'Biography,' and cover relevant parts of the character's history as well as their hopes for the future and the story they will experience.
Players can make multiple characters, choose entirely different answers, and see a completely different personal story - experiencing a different perspective on the epic story as well. In this way, the game is not only more personal, it's also more replayable, ensuring that each time you level a character, you encounter different aspects of Tyria.
