Gwen returns!

Could we merge up this thread and the "pre-searing ascalon and Gwen" thread? They both have one subject.
My idea:
Gwen either escaped through the catacombs, had a hike till kourna where we find that flower, and now, homesick she's coming back.
OR
Gwen, kidnapped by the Charr, was meant to be burnt alive (althea anyone?) or summthing fiery and nasty, but, there's always a 'but', somehow she became one with the flames (you got a glimpse of that in beta, right?). Her sorrow, pain of loss and anger for the Charr all charged her up and lost control, breaking free, incenerating the Charr Warband (yay!) and leaving ruins wherever she goes. Next target are the dwarves who see her as that myth of theirs made real. Luckily you come up and beat some sense in her head again. After that, the new sane-minded Gwen comes with you (as an elementalist hero, perhaps) and you move on.
I'm guessing, that like all the other heroes she will have her own armor. So that MAY be mesmer-looking but she's a natural when it comes to burn stuff, don't you think?

The burning stuff wasn't really in the scope of the plot, though, so that might not even be a factor. Sort of like dragons killing everyone off in the Factions preview - it didn't actually "happen".
I personally preferred the Gwen thing just dropped; the urban myth sort of thing. And the level of obsession some people have over it is vaguely disturbing. But I can forgive a lot if it turns out she really is hot. Much can be forgiven for the sake of hotness.

prism2525, isn't that the way Cynn escaped the charrs when she was little? I remember reading the manual for the first GW and it said that Cynn was trapped inside a house. Charrs were ready to make a meal out of her but she had enough and burn down the whole town.

This is just a personal idea, of course.

You people love this little girl too much in my opinion. She died lol, get over it.

Never talk bad about Gwen or she'll follow you forever in game and tell you stories.

And let's not forget that GW is played in 3rd person perspective, so you're going to stare at the asses of your characters all along. Also since role-playing is not a factor in GW, character selection boils down to picking either a female ass or a male ass. Unless you're gay (or watched over by a jealous loved one), it's kinda makes sense to pick an opposite-sex avatar.
By default, unless the players are less than 10-12 years old, or players with a self-esteem issue, I personnally assume that female avatars are likely male players and vice-versa.
MirageMaster
Hmm... this probebly makes me a wierdo but i usualy look at where my character is going or at the target.there are more things to look at then some ass.*shrug*

Judging from her last performance in Ascalon, Gwen is probably acting Fire Goddess of the Charr. Naturally the good clothing comes with the position.
Question is, will she treat Ascalon born characters differently from those she never met?

If that's one of your first toons, that's different, first times through the game one can't know that no RPG will ever be involved, and roleplaying the other sex, now that is something else.
Anyhow, I can't see how you guys can give the impression of surprise, is this feinted naivete or what? The statistics are well known, female avatars outnumber male ones, yet only a fraction of the player base is actually female. Other clue is the way marketing limits the female clothing to a minimum (just look at the GW box covers for crying out loud).
It shouldn't take a superior degree in astrophysics or psychology to figure out the rest.

I think the "I look at my ass" people posting here explain alot about why pugs can be so challenging.
I'm here to break things and kill people,didn't know I was also playing the game the wrong way.
Curse You
I have 3 male characters out of 9. First Character (necro), is male because I prefer the look of the males, and he sort of reminds me of myself. My assassin is male because I just can't stand the twigs that are female assassins. My Dervish is male because of the dance, you can't beat a Christopher Walken dance!
Now back on subject.
Gwen is most likely not an elementalist, just look at the outfit she's wearing. (The link to the screen shot appears to have disappeared)

Let's get back to topic!
I think Gwen must of survived by going through the Catacombs. Then maybe she was found by the Charr and taken captive but there was something about her that they felt was powerful and made her princess and became evil.
Or
She could of escaped the Catacombs and lived a peaceful life but the Charr are making a return and she needs OUR help.
I think the whole Guild Wars community is obsessed the the Gwen myth because it's such a good mystery with this story of Guild Wars. I think it will be cool to play with the little girl you knew in Pre Searing who followed you around.
Maybe she will be like Mhenlo in Factions.

err, did you even see the clipout thats assumingly her from pc gamer? does she even remotely look "evil"? I'm afraid if she was "evil" as you put it and I had to kill her for whatever reason, i couldn't do it ^^
so, im assuming she's the leader of an underground rebellion of some sort

I did say another situation where she escaped from the catacombs and she was raised by a peacful family but the charr is back and she needs our help.

As lovely as it would be there's just a part of me who thinks maybe it's all some cruel joke and when we meet them they will say "Hi, I'm Little Janie, I once ran past you as a girl in Ascalon..."
I hope not. Here's hoping for Gwen.

You think we'll get the dialogue option to tell her we met her mom on a farming run in hell?

I think this is the picture being referred to.
I did not scan it, just found it in another topic and am posting the imageshack link, if that's okay.

EDIT: here's a direct confrontation:
It also says that we met her as a child in Prophecies. It doesn't mention pre-searing but how many other children do we meet in Prophecies with this importance?
Also, the way she's fiddling with her hands tells me she hasn't changed one bit. If she turns out to be a hero, NO ONE PUT HEAL AREA ON HER!!!

Is it only me, but I think the armor looks very Canthan (I mean general armor from Cantha not the set called Canthan), mainly the flowers on the bottom of the dress.
I just don't think it looks very Tyrian.

I think the flower is the biggest proof of the blurry character's Gwenlyness.
Mmmm...maybe i should call my first daughter Gwen? Just for the heck of it.

What about Rurik for a boy?
EPO Bot
Naah too fantasy. If it's Gwen, i can always rabidly deny i named my girl after a videogame character (if she ever accuses me of such a thing!). with Rurik, that's a lot harder.

In Nightfall, it's three years at the end of Proph. She'd be 17.
Whatever the age you guess her to be is an inaccurate indication of when Eye of the North takes place in-game.
So yeah: that was all pointless.
Etta
Nah, nothing to do with accurate indication of when Eye of the North will take place. Just wonder if she can go to the pub and have a drink.
