You actually see your character on screen

Now for the good parts – there are a lot of them. Let’s start off at the beginning area of the game, at the character creation interface. It is by far one of the most beautiful and well put together creation screens I have seen. The way they guide you through the creation of your character makes you feel like you want to explore every class and story background without feeling like you have seen it all before and want to skip it just to play the game. I advise you not to skip out on any detail for your character either, because the conversations you have with important characters is quite an amazing experience. You actually see your character on screen interacting with notable characters in a new and interesting way.That leads into the second good part experienced during the recent Guild Wars 2 beta weekend – the story. While I have said previously that I had not played the first Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 does a good job of making it so that it will not hinder you in this game. While you may not know all the characters like the king and the names of various dragons, they don’t put a huge emphasis on you having to know them to play the game and enjoy the story. The sounds are another thing I actually enjoyed about this game. I usually don’t even pay attention to the sounds in a game but it was the music that got my attention for some reason, perhaps because it wasn’t too overpowering. I actually feel that it brought me more into the game the same way the music brought me into a movie, such as Lord of the Rings.A detailed in-depth look at the beta will be coming soon, followed by a review of this amazing game that is shaping up to be deserving of everybody’s must-play list. This group quest was easy for 200 new characters to accomplish, but what happens when the game is out for seven or eight months and people aren’t making quite as many new characters? Only time will tell with what the Arena Net team is going to do with that or if that issue actually manifests itself as a gameplay problem.
