The title says it all, GW has a great story but all great epics need true love. I know there was a little bit of romance between Koss and Melonni in NF but hardly enough.

Although I'm sure the story of GWEN has been worked out it would be great to see some real romance in there. Maybe you could have a hero that joined you, the opposite gender to your char and of a complimentry profession.

Ele-Monk
Necro-Rit
Warrior-Sin
Mesmer-Dervish
Para-Ranger

then your main char could fall in love and ask to marry/be proposed to by your hero. I would just have to cry, I so want Mazey Vorastagg to start a family.

It would also help explain our ancestors in GW2.

Do you agree we need some passion in this game?

Nonsense. We have enough religion in the game already.

Oh, wait. Wrong passion.

Naah, I don't really need to see my character settle down and have a family. For one thing, I don't plan to retire any of my characters until GW2 comes out. At that point, I plan to leave them cold and alone while I turn the lights out, so what do I care? Yes, there's the concept of ancestors in the GW2 character continuation, but I'm more than happy to leave that off-screen.

There was major romance between the monk, Mhenlo and the elementalist, Cynn. While it was minor in Prophecies, Factions expanded on the relationship between these two loverbirds with the introduction of Jamei, Mhenlo's childhood friend.

There's already romance in Guild Wars, you just need to keep a sharp eye out for it.

I would say it goes along these lines

Warrior-Monks
Rangers-Mesmers
Elementalist-Necromancers
Dervish-Assassins
Ritualists-Paragon

That is how it should be they need each other for support.

Dude, what about Mhenlo and Cynn? Mhenlo and every woman in Cantha? Norgu and food? Koss and Melonni?

GW is full of lurve.

-_- ... me myself have no clue why you would need romance in a G A M E. If you spend so much time playing GW to not be able to get enough romance in RL there is only one thing I have to say....

Here's a thread I had a while ago, and it has a method about how to add romance to the game

BTW, I dislike the idea of pairing up a romantic partner based on class.


Yours truely also plays female characters mostly so I doubt I'll make use of that feature unless there is a lesbian option. I'm not going to comment on that in the real world as this isn't the place for that, but let's just say I'm probably not going to care about trying to woo anything other than a female NPC.

kk, whatever you guys think. There's always some minor childish romacen flirting and such. A little bit of Althea and Cynn. I just want GW to have a plot so powerful it makes me cry (like Big Fish). Isn't that why everyone plays GW, to have a part in an incredible epic story. Even LOTRs has love

If you really want romance in GW, just go to temple of balthazar ID1 and have some guy try and cyber you.

Love is in the air.

I had a guy ask me that, once.

I told him I'm a 300lb balding yet hairy gay man with a lava lamp fetish.

He asked if I still wanted to cyber.

Perhaps Norgu and himself maybe... he seems really full of himself.
But yes, nobody wants to see a repeat of pimping Mhenlo...

I vote no to anything formal in-game but there's always room for it in rp - and there are plenty of rp'ers around if you're interested in taking the marriage theme up Mazey.

How about every Mesmer and their own reflections? I'm sure I've seen mirrors drop in a few places before

A little more romance in the game might be nice... As long as it's doesn't cut into the spirit of adventure

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Norgu and Murunda, that was very obvious.

Would be fun to have marriages etc in game for those of us who play with our partner's, but would cause too much hassle if it had any sort of title.

people wisping you etc saying how your a looser and you need a real girlfriend, as seen in this thread, funny thing is its usually those people who are alone and anyone for an idea like this who isn't.

Leave the romance for the main plots, quests and such.

It would be fun to have an NPC obsessed to get the favors of player characters, thought.
Nothing that really changes the story.

Like... an hero that joins you to probe him/herself worthy of you attention.
And has funny quotes in battle.
But nothing that shows up in Missions and changes the plot.

Hmm... We need romance, yes. But not in the player-perspective...(Did I say that right?) Probably more Mhenlo/Cynn kinds of relationships...
