Our friends over at Wartower.de have put up another interview with ArenaNet’s Ree Soesbee. They are a German site, but a particularly productive member of the community has made the effort to translate it for us.
“During character creation the player decides upon a race and a class and decides the appearance of the character. But there will also be a number of questions, each with multiple possible answer from which the player can choose. The answers decide some aspects of the character and the basics of the personal story. If you create an Asura for example you will get the question “Which was your first successful experiment?” Now you get three or foru possible answers. Later in the game it might happen that an NPC approaches the player and says “Hey, we know that your first invention was a weather control machine. We got that machine there and it’s behaving weird. It would be nice if you could help us with the problem.” This story line has been chosen for the character based on the answers you picked during character creation.”
As usual with fan translations there may be some distortion of meaning, if we get any clarifications or corrections to the translation I will ensure this news item and the original post are updated.
