Calm down everybody, this isnt' another what a crap expansion post. I love GW:EN.

I'm talking about the character. I hate her. She's such a royal pain in the behind! It's like she's jacked up on ritalin. I just want to sit her down and tell her to chill the f**k out. Seriously.

Just wanted to have my rant. Anyone else feel this way? Are there any other characters you guys don't like? I don't mean in a game design way, just in an "If I met you I'd probably hate you" kind of way...

I can't stand the Assura anymore, all those taunts that they give you when talking to NPCs are annoying. I just lower my speaker volume

But I also love Gwen (the game) and as always I love GW.

I hate the ending cinematic of the Ebon Guard campaign after you've released the prisorners. She's just bitching about everything and hell yeah I hate her.

Isn't ritalin supposed to calm you down and help you focus? lol

Anyway, I love Gwen. She's like your hot psycho-ex-girlfriend only with sweet mesmer action thrown in. rawr.

Hate is too strong a word, but she is too much of a "problem teen" cliche, for me. I kinda zone out whenever she speaks. She'd be a stronger character if she burried her pain and only let it out every once in a while, instead of blah, blah, charr, blah.

I agree! She is like that chick you date for awhile and she drives you nuts the whole time but the sex is wild so you put up with it. Untill one day you can't take anymore and stop returning her calls. Then she starts to stalk you, but that just makes you want her more......i'm messed up

I hate the Asura. Is anyone else getting depply offended by their "booka" comments? It is starting to remind me of a certian racial slur that begins with N.

Yeah, i m with you. I didnt realy like her when i met her but i realy disliked her once the group met Pyre, maybe the Charr will take her off my hands

I never use her either, thank you Norgu.

Well her homeland was destroyed by the charrs, everyone she knows gone, her family gone, her role model gone, her flute....broken. How would you act if you're in her boots? I say the girl did pretty well keeping herself together.

And she's what? 17-18? Were you not pain in the ass, know it all when you were that age?

Come on, she's a scripted voice actress and some animation routines displayed as pixels. Really, try not to immerse yourself so much.

For those reasons I put up with her attitude! I think Hayda is far more annoying than Gwen.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I actually liked the cutscenes with Gwen and Pyre. I was actually hoping there'd be more of them. I dislike Pyre though. He has a cool voice, but I hate his personality. I was actually hoping Gwen would teach him a lesson in some of the later cutscenes. I would have been rooting her on the whole way through.

Pretty much all of the henchies and heroes bug me now, well most anyways. They say the most annoyingly, cocky things, especially during the Norn fighting tournament. It made me think "shit, this is the people I have to group with??"

And omg, talking to Lina in an outpost in the Far Shiverpeaks: "The first thing you notice about me is that I'm fabulous. The second, that I'm winning, and the third is that you no longer have time to notice anything at all."

Have to not raise my hand here.
I liked Gwen in pre and I like her now. Maybe it's because I'm a Mom

Actually I want to give her a hug

I loved Gwen in pre and I love her still. I'm glad she's alive and well. I've been hoping they'd bring her back and they did. Thank you anet.

It's funny you mention that. My granddaughter's imaginary friend's name is booka. I laugh every time I hear it. For the record, her "friend" was around long before GWEN came out.

Exactly. She totally entitled to act however she likes. Besides, I don't think she's that bad and since I like to have a mesmer in the party anyway, I always have her with me.

For some strange ass reason that made me think back to a few years ago when that chick who cut off her husband's junk while he was sleeping.

Yeah... that totally killed the sexy.

He ended up getting it reattached since she threw it out of a window into a field and then he became a porn star. Funny how things work out. Of course, the reason why she did it in the first place was because the man was extremely abusive to her.

That's the point of a game with story: To enjoy the story. Oh and YOUR ITEMS ARE PIXELS AND MEAN NOTHING! Make of that what you will.

Gadd is the most annoying I've come across so far. The way he abuses those around him, throwing away the lives of others and ridiculing those who care about safety. Makes me want to grab him by his ankles and slam him into a chain of golems.

You're too involved with seeming like a preacher on the internet. Follow your own advice before others follow you.

I find (and always found) the Gwen in pre-searing to be extremely annoying. I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised that grown-up Gwen is reasonably nice to have around.
