In Guild Wars 2, specific expansion storylines or special events often offer armor as rewards. Like in the Path of Fire expansion, completing key missions could get you some nice armor sets.
In Guild Wars 2, different storylines provide armor. For instance, the personal storylines based on your character's choices and some faction-specific quests can grant you various types of armor. Additionally, seasonal story arcs might have armor rewards too.
For me, the Asura race has an amazing story. Their intelligence and advanced technology play a big part in their narrative. There are a lot of interesting quests related to their scientific experiments and their struggle to prove themselves among the other races in Tyria.
In my opinion, the Charr race has a really engaging story. Their history of warfare, their struggle for territory and their complex society make their story very interesting. You get to see their military structure, the different legions, and how they interact with other races in the context of their past grudges and new alliances.
I think the story of the Order of Whispers is one of the best. Their secretive nature and the quests related to uncovering secrets and protecting Tyria from hidden threats are really exciting.
Yes, it could be. 'Bairly' (presumably 'barely') implies that there is hardly a story in Guild Wars 2, which is a criticism of the game's narrative aspect.
The side quests in Guild Wars 2 often have great little stories. Some of them are based on local legends or the personal stories of NPCs. You might come across a quest where an old farmer is trying to save his land from a mysterious blight, and as you help him, you uncover a deeper mystery that has roots in the game's overarching lore. It's these small, detailed stories that add a lot of charm to the game's overall story experience.
For me, WoW has a better story. It has a very deep and complex lore that spans across multiple continents and races. The storylines in the different expansions are very well - thought - out, like in 'The Burning Crusade' and 'Wrath of the Lich King'. The epic battles and the backstories of the main characters are truly captivating. While Guild Wars 2 has a good story, WoW's just has more depth and a longer history to draw from.
Yes, in Guild Wars 2 you can skip the story. There are certain options in the game that allow you to bypass parts of the story if you so choose. However, the story in Guild Wars 2 is quite engaging and skipping it might mean missing out on some of the rich lore and character development that the game has to offer.
The Guild Wars 1 story is complex. It involves different races like the humans, charr, asura, norn, and sylvari. The main plot often revolves around the conflicts and power struggles in the world of Tyria. There are various story arcs dealing with magic, ancient prophecies, and the fight against powerful foes. For example, the human kingdoms face threats from various sources, and different factions within the races also have their own goals and rivalries.
It depends on your skills and game knowledge. Some experienced players can manage it, but for many, it can be quite challenging.
