Thread: Our passive characters and why the 2.55 story fails (BIG SPOILERS) (rant warning)

The cut-scenes in this patch really made me rage. Everything was so obvious and a lot of it was just plain painful to watch. They really need a better writer in my opinion because it's getting GW2 S1 Living Story, levels of bad... And that's just freaking awful.

I hate Alphinaud. I just... Hate him so much. He's so dumb, and he has the personality of a rock. The whole time he was feeling bad I was super happy. Maybe this is harsh... I hope you die Alphinaud. You're an awful character. Whoever wrote you into existence is the worst. Same with Minfilia, the useless chick who somehow got to be a leader of an organization by... Constantly needing to be saved? I was shocked she stayed behind to protect me. I bet she dies from tripping on something though.

I agree with the OP about most of what she wrote. The fact that our character was so passive to the point of just letting himself/herself be tied up by a bunch of loser goons, and how he/she really didn't do much to profess his innocence... It's just so freaking painful to watch.

Oh, and don't even get me started on how Kan-E-Senna and Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn abandoned me and someone whom I assumed was a good friend of theirs, Raubahn Aldynn! For hell's sake, all three of them went through the calamity together, and came out the other end with one another! What the actual f*ck?! Horrid writing.

At least this time it was all mostly voice-acted so as bad as it was it sounded nice...
