1) Prophecies - WIthout doubt a modern classic , must have played this game for a year completing everything , seemed to go on forever.

2) Factions - At the time I thought mmmm not sure about this now looking back maybe was not as bad as everyone thought,

3) Nightfall - Above average single player game.

I have liked them all for different reasons, but simply due to the engine upgrades NF is the best.

1. Propehcies for sheer originality and revolution to my MMORPG world
2. Nightfall well unlike factions this one was much more easy to do yourself, however it still provides numerous challenges because the AI is much smarter and has more room to move instead of like in more than 75% of Cantha (excluding most of jade sea) Also the graphic engine has improved runs more smoothly and looks just nice overally, Lips moving=BIG plus

3.Factions, didn't feel like i was accomplishing anything because no matter which side i had choosen i felt like i was a bad guy, but in the end i got a free wepon, so oh well can't complain that much, however the black moa bird was pretty cool, looks great with an Iway warrior in full black platemail ^^

Prophecies will always be my favorite, but I really did enjoy factions. I don't know why people say they hate it...

Then the others are even.

There's always farming but in Nightfall at least i got money. Though it might be going through the older games. NF has lots of chests (not the eles) that have some nice items in them when people get to vabbi.

1. Nightfall - What can I say? Most everything has improved.

2. Prophecies - The game we all fell in love with, but it's only second because of the boring repetitive PVE and far too slow leveling rate.

3. Factions - I still like Factions, sadly everyone else hates it.

EDIT: The thread title is sort of funny....Top 3 GW chapters? Funny because there's only 3 so far...

1) Nightfall - only 2/3 thru the game since I'm playing NWN2 now, but so far it's been been a near perfect balance between the two other chapters.
2) Factions - love/hate, I hate the actual city it's a pain, love the last part of the game, leveling too fast.
3) Prophecies - fond memories, but replaying it now is a pain.. waaay to drawn out.

Prophecies. Because it's so damned big and varied!

I like Nightfall alot more than Factions thus far. Though I'm not very deep into it yet.

1) Nightfall. It has some really good things from both Prophecies and Factions, but unfortunately, it makes you grind way too much for sunspear points, and then there is also the too slow of leveling. Other than that, it's almost perfect so far. Oh, and the worms are awsome. Plus there are really cool heros.

1) (It's tied with Nightfall so they are both first) Factions. It had a ton to do and I never seemed to find something to do in it. It is an awsome game. Perfect speed of leveling (accually, maybe a tad too slow ), and even after beating it a few times (at least 6 I think), it's still not boring.

3)Prophecies. It's a good game, and was incredible when I first started playing GW, but now compared to the other two, it's only a OK game. Incredibly slow leveling, more than half the game is teaching you to play, and there is hardly any level 20 content besides farming or fire islands.

They are all really good games though.

I would have to say...

1. Nightfall - All of the new features, better graphics (in that lips move), The Hero's (beacuse often times i would rather go without a PUG, and henchies just suck -_-).

2. Prophecies - I think i had the MOST fun with this thus far, although there isn't too much I would do now. But It took me a few months to actually beat the game. Lots of different areas, beautiful, fun - an all around awesome game.

3. Factions - I actually Loved this game, but it is in third, beacuse i beat it in less then one month (which for some people may seem like a long time, but i don't have a completely free scedule ), After i beat it, and got all of the things I wanted, I was extremly bored. I did love the fast leveling though, and the jade sea area. I also loved the ritualist, But sadly I won't be taking her into nightfall beacuse I do not like the armors there.

I have. But I dont see why it matters if people have finished it or not and putting it as number one. I didnt see you asking the same question of people who put it in last place.

1. NF - PvP as the way it should be (or at least closer to it). Heroes system for a more flexible PvE.
2. Prophecies - the original. A much more varied landscape. I don't like the theme based. NF looks great but variety is better. Half of Faction's map is horrendous both on looks and design.
3. Faction - its not even really that good. Any redeeming value is because it was because it is Guild Wars. Faction/alliance battle is dumb. Worse cinematic. Rits and Sins are one dimensional compared to Para and Dervs.

Prophecies - Story line is good and original and the game has a quick pace but doesnt make you feel you started yesterday.

Factions - I reckon the storyline was cool :P I didnt like the afflicted though (annoying bastards)

Nightfall - Average Story, i dont care if the graphics became better.

Nightfall - Love the humour and the scope. Feels more like a war, lots of people on both sides about. Not like THK where you were protecting a king and he couldn't even muster anything more than 8 foreigners.

Prophecies - Nice, but getting dated in some of the mission designs. Plus some areas you can't take 5 steps without something popping out of the ground to attack you. Makes you just want to run zones unless you want to spend hours beating up things to get to your destination.

Factions - Bonuses not very imaginative, and locked gates everywhere were a pain. Hate the city map too, if you're going to go 3-D city, give us a 3-D to see if were above or below where we want to go.

Top 3, so far? Aww man! I wanted to make at least a top 10! Ah well, I guess I won't disrupt the flow...

Prophecies - because there's no place like home
Nightfall - because this place is like home
Factions - because, well... had nothing else to put here

Mmm, wurms. Now I get to siege back.

1)Nightfall (The storyline expanded. Being able to choose paths, plus! you're not punished for only given 1 path since you can go back to do the other, freedom!)
2)Proph.
Skipped Factions so I can't judge it.

Nightfall - Everything besides the little sunspear farming is nice.
Factions - Fast leveling, but the city part sucked.
Prophecies - Slow leveling, nearly no end-game areas.

Prophecies: Friendly Cooperative Players, Good Story Line, Fun times
Factions: Despite its flaws, still fun. Bad story, good GFX, AB and Aspenwood great fun.
Nightfall: Story great, GFX top notch. Not being able to get/form a human a group and not talking to human beings, taking away multiplayer element eh.... NO THX>

1. Prophecies. (mainly for sentimental reasons) It's a very well done original. Skill quests > buying skills (that's a BIG plus in its favor). decent storyline and several missions that are just plain fun to do. The different areas - Pre-searing, Shiverpeaks, The Wilds, etc. make adventuring around interesting.

2. Nightfall. Best story-line of the 3. I like the way that your character becomes a central figure in it. The artwork is extremely well done and some of the enemy AI's are fantastic (Mandragor slithers, namely). Hero system is OK and the pace for leveling characters is just right. I like the variety they came up with for gaining mission bonuses, and some of the missions are quite entertaining.

10. factions. Alliance Battles are great fun. Story-line was horrid. I didn't enjoy any part of the city whatsoever and many missions I greatly detested. Timed missions to get bonus - bad idea.

Nightfall and Prophecies were the best

Problem with Factions is the fact that the landscapes sucked MAJOR ASS... they were extremely simple, as a matter of fact, they were flat out PATHETIC.... i mean good lord, Cantha looked like total garbage.... i'm gonna stop bashing it now, simply because there are no words or phrases that can describe the SUCK of the landscapes' of Factions. I will say that the Kurzick territories were "creative." Shing Jea rocked, but that island was way short

One of the biggest clinchers for me in Prophecies was the music. just WOW. Best game music ever, especially if you own the DirectSong Content. I love the Dramiticism of the Sorrow's furnace music pak

1. Prophecies - loved it and still do. Right now I want to get my NF character to Prophecies because this campaign is more fun to play

2. Nightfall... I guess, but only because Factions was so bad. The hero system really stops NF from getting anywhere near no.1, which is a shame because other than that it is really good

3. Factions - This game sucked. I am still trying to get all elites on one of my characters, so have to go back to Cantha, and when I do, I am reminded how much I hate the place

I dont like to Farm -- otherwise Prophecies would probably be #1

1) Nightfall
- Heroes!!, many quests, most creative missions, tons of lvl 20 content, most consistent storyline, did I say Heroes?

2) Factions
- Fastest levelling to 20, 8 classes, best armor system, skill capture bosses had static locations, shortest chapter but I played Factions much longer than Prophecies thanks to Fort Aspenwood

3) Prophecies
- best mission bonuses, only chapter where you can quest for skills, most variety for zone content, most creative story altho inconsistent, doesnt have as much content for lvl 20s - unless you like to farm

Huh? Most serious PvP players don't take Heroes in to PvP. Heroes is like the new RA.

PvP as in character templates, better balance, nice new halls, deeper new professions (instead of one dimensial sin and rits), balanced PvE and PvP weapon/armor set, increased Faction rate and cap, etc, etc.

Nighfall added nothing to PvP except the new halls and skills.

1)Prophecies - only because of the "WOW!" factor that you have with awesome new games. those feelings *usually* lack in sequels/expansion packs

2)Nightfall - if this one came out before proph, it would have been #1

3) factions - Still really enjoy it, I don't get all the hate. Weaker than the other 2 though.
