NPC I want to kill.

Any NPC that I must protect as their death results in mission failure for me.

Basing a player's success on poor AI is a horrible design choice. What the @#$% am I supposed to do if I'm playing a W and the NPC just runs in and aggroes 3 groups of enemies?

I'm new to the game, but honestly, Gwen pre-searing is just creepy. She's like a tagalong in Dodgeball following me around. Some odd stalker kid whose mother apparently lets her follow strangers home.

And then she stands right BETWEEN me and a skale. I should have shot her with my bow when I had the chance.

And don't get me started on that bull down in the river in Ashford. He just annoys me because he keeps showing up.

Good to see here that there is plenty to piss me off in later campaigns as well.

Well, back when prophecies came out, I didn't know what Gwen was there for. I mean seriously, her parents let her play out in a world full of monsters that could probably rip her to shreds in seconds. So I agree that the young Gwen was kinda creepy.

Mhenlo for being a tool
Cynn for not enjoying hot 3 somes
Vekk for being annoying
Kormir for being pretentious
Scoutmaster Arne for saying, "Scuttlebutt"
Devona for failing at Hammer war
Lukas for being a tool
SotiCoto for complaining about blind
Jamei/Alesia/Sister Tai for using 10e Healing spells

I could go on...

QFT. Can't recall how many times we lost because the AI decided to be randomly stupid.

It is interesting to me as a noob to hear that Gwen goes through a sort of "change of life" for lack of a better term.

Do you suppose she is premenopausal or something? It would explain the mood swings.

I'll be boring and say Leah Stone, because I hated her the 5 minutes after knowing she existed. If she was not dead already, I'd kill her.

The usual suspects: King Jalis, Emperor Kisu, Prince Rurik, Mhenlo, Danika and Kormir are all on my hit list.

About Gwen, maybe if we saw her get tortured or could empathise with her a little bit more, we might forgive her for her behaviour.

Togo. I was in Vizunah Square, he kept getting stuck.
All asurans- they're so obnoxious and I hate how they always call you bookah
Gwen-why does she always whine? I mean, we don't care if you hate the charr, why the hell are you telling us?
Last but definately not least.....
Danika, I hate the way she moans in Aborstone, I mean, if we're all dead, how the hell do you expect us to pick up the urn? And why is her voice so excruciatingly annoying? They should use her voice when questioning criminals, that would get them to spill the beans!

Too many to name them, but I wonder why everyone has something against Rurik? I got disconnected in last part of Nolani Academy, and when I got back after 3 minutes Rurik had killed alot charrs and didn't look like he'd die anytime soon. Altought, I didn't have proph while he had those suicidal intends...

All Asuran's. In the cut scene on the bridge all I could think was "Today we are gonna teach Asuran's how to fly."

If ya have troubles telling the female from the male Jotun just shove Vekk under the skirt he's smart I'm sure he can figure it out.

Danika, just so I don't need to hear her voice again.

Oh, and which ever designer decided to not make a Mesmer as part of the core "Heroes of Asceleon". 6 Core professions should = 6 iconic characters/henchmen.

The asura. I want to feed just about all of them to the destroyers.

And Gadd? I can only imagine what all chat would be like if he was a pugger. Especially when the rest of the party finds out he makes enemies invulnerable unless you're running an air build like he is.

Edit: Oh, and kormir too. Is no help in missions, and all she does is bodyblock you. Yet she's also the one who takes all the credit at the end...

Grown-up-Gwen. I just wish through the game that there'll be a cut-scene where Pyre just gets fed up of her emo shit and puts a knife in the back of her neck and disembowels her.

Better yet, I'd probably squeal with delight if they had a cut-scene where my warrior cleaved her skull in twain with his mighty battle axe, and kicked her writhing torso into a pit of ravenous drakes.

QFT. I think that ArenaNet thought we'd like her along with all the other incredibly annoying NPCs... Gadd the Griefer; the Asura constantly saying nig- sorry, bookah: seems to have about the same hurtful intent behind it; the Norn constantly spewing out overused Nord stuff. Oh, sorry, did I say Nord? Because they sure seem to be bodily ripped from Morrowind's lore, as well as standard generic Viking stuff; the Vanguard intent on committing genocide against a race that didn't really do much to them in the first place besides partially ruining a single city; Talon and Devona with their cringeworthy one-lingers, etc. Maybe ArenaNet confused us with a 10 year old audience by spewing the same sort of drivel that would appeal to a fan of The Chronicles of Narnia.

Rant over.

Kurz/Lux NPCs. Killing the shrine ones doesn't quite satisfy.

Also, Base Defenders. Not because they annoy me, but because it would insta-1337 me.

Um, didn't the Searing destroy all of Orr as well as most of Ascelon (not just the city)?

The other races do seem rather... prickly though in EotN. The Charr we already knew about, and Pyre actualy puts a better perspective on them than we get in Prophecies. The Asura and Norn are a little too Elitist, and the Dwarves seem oddly nice compared to your standard burly dwarves (which isn't a bad thing).

Are Tengu going to be a playable race in GW2?

Orr was destroyed by their own advisor. I believe that is Vizier Khilbron.

Most of Ascalon... eh, I've always been confused because the entire thing is very sketchy. Somehow the entire land is scorched yet the Wall is nearly fully intact, there are many, many survivors, etc. They didn't even get it that hard when you consider the Jade Wind to put things in perspective.
