brains or brawn

Okay, they really need to fix this quest. I selected Norgu and got Goren. Same thing happened for all three of my friends who did it at the same time.

Then I looked it up on GWwiki. They have the wording all backwards as the one you select is the one you SEND AWAY. Now we have a pathetic useless second warrior because we didn't read the quest writer's mind that whichever one we picked would be the one we don't get. There was no indication in the text that whichever you chose would be forgotten about.

Read it. It says which one you want to SEND away. Your own fault. But dont worry, just finish the game.

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Brains_or_Brawn I have a habit of reading it all. I mean, the game becomes nothing if you don't. Nowhere does it indicate the one you select is the one you'll send away. It says send to protect Istan. We all interpreted as, "this is the one we'll take with us to back to protect this guy in Istan." It literally reads, "Who should I send to Istan to protect my beloved, Midauha?" with a very strongly implied "send with you".

I only looked at the wiki to confirm the stupidity of the dialog choices afterwards. There are those who enjoy and play the game without referencing everything. But, apparently I'm going to have to change that habit, since I don't have psychic abilities.

If you bothered to read the quest dialog, you'd find that he's trying to decide which of the two would make a good bodyguard for himself. He asks you which you would take as a bodyguard, then follows your suggestion, and takes the one you choose. It's not that hard to figure out if you read the quest instead of clicking blindly on a response.

Once you finished the game you get all heroes anyways.
So all in all it's not really as if matters that much.
On another matter.
If you try to complete all missions before you finished the game and you took Master of Whispers, there is only 1 other way to get into Dasha Vestibule and it's by getting Goren as a Hero.
So in that pov it's even a better choice if you pick Goren over Norgu

Because you're done playing after you beat Nightfall's single player campaign.

I read the dialog and chose Goren by mistake. I interpreted the dialog to refer to a quest I was involved in, so I chose Norgu as my answer...I wanted a Mesmer Hero.

I read the dialog text, I am literate and the text needs to be changed.

You need to work on your reading skills as well. it appears.

This isn't a click wildly and whine at the results post.

Intelligent people who read the quest text could come to the conclusion that the quest giver is going to send YOU and the Hero you choose on a quest.

I had no problems with that, reading the dialog made perfect sense that I was picking one for him to take as a bodyguard.

I did that, but figured it was my own fault for mis-reading it. Next time, I was more careful about it

Yes, but if you read the possible answers you'd know exactly what it meant.

Again, it very strongly implies that you'll also be going with the hero you select to protect Midauha.

If you choose the wrong guy, just resign and abandon the quest. This can't be done, however, once you pick up the reward of course!

I just didn't get either because who needs a mesmer or a second warrior in PvE?

Just read the thing..... Christ it's not that hard to read the dialogue in the game. There's a story there ya know?

I also made this mistake, and yeah I was a bit cut for awhile, but I got over it. It was a stupid mistake, and definitely not Anet's fault. I never got the impression that I was going to be sent away to protect the guy's daughter. Why would you be going off to serve as a bodyguard to the guy's daughter when the world is being overrun by demons?

It's annoying that you now have two warrior heroes, I know I've been there too. But it's not the end of the world. Just finish the game and go and get Norgu then. You didn't choose a different path for the storyline or anything, Norgu and Goren are optional heroes.

There's plenty to do after you're done playing Nightfall. Go do DoA, go unlock the heroes that you missed, go complete the quests you missed, if you're an Elonian go to Tyria or Cantha and play them.

Then please explain to me why Midauha would need to do any thinking for Goren since he's, you know, your hero taking your orders.
Or why Norgu, again your hero, needs to entertain her.

And to point out the quest dialogue that you've already read. Notice how he said you're helping him pick someone to hire, and not how they'll be your partner when you're both hired.

Also, why would you go back to Istan to protect one girl when the world is being taken over?

Well I wanted a second warrior because I'm hopeless assigning mesmer skills....and I got Norgu!
So, add me to the list of players who misinterpreted the text.

For the same reason you fetch leaves from the garden, tell the gardener to get back to work and the like.
