Just a quick feedback on the new Living Story missions available now. I will try not to put in any spoilers!

Brahman – I instantly liked him. His story is compelling, and made me actually care about what was going to happen in the future. His personality is likeable, and I felt connected to his plight. I just did his mission for a second time, since I enjoyed it so much the first time around.

Rox – To me, she felt like a generic NPC. I couldn’t get involved with her side of the tale, and I didn’t feel like I related to her plight at all. She seemed bland in comparison to Brahman. I have not felt the need to revisit her mission, as I was rather bored the first time.

Overall, I am enjoying the Living Story. Looking back, I can see how the first two installments fit in to what is currently happening. Keep working at it ArenaNet, I think you have something here that could really become something special!
