Guild Wars 2 Interview

Massively has once again caught up with ArenaNet’s Ree Soesbee, and this time they grilled the Guild Wars 2 lore and continuity designer about their newly revealed focus on personal storylines.

The biography at character creation sets the foundation for your character’s personal story. How detailed can we get in creating the background? For example, will there be a wide variety of answers to the preset roster of questions? How much does the roster vary according to race and class?

There are approximately ten questions that you answer (right now, it’s probably somewhere between seven and twelve, but we’ll see how development proceeds ). The questions have multiple-choice answers that may be tailored to your race, class, or personality choices. Several of the questions are specific to earlier choices — race, for example. A Charr will not be asked questions about the human queen; a Sylvari would not be asked about their first magical invention. In that way, we’ve made sure that each race has unique stories that are tailored to the interests, culture, and lore of that individual race.
