DAILY MANIFESTO

My Guild Wars 2 Beta Character Is A Massive Beast

Posted on Saturday, July 21 @ 22:12:47 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

If you're going to play a Warrior in an RPG your greatest asset is your ability to intimidate, and nothing is more intimidating than being large enough to stop a boulder rolling after Indiana Jones.

When I made my Warrior during this weekend's Guild Wars 2 beta event I didn't even flinch before choosing Norn and giving him the largest physique possible. Everything went according to plan. I queued up for a few games of PvP and saw little Asuran people running for their dear lives hoping to not be smashed by my size 36 iron boots. Charr looked in horror as my 80 inch waist came barreling down a mountain with a greatsword ready to wreck havok. My beard alone crippled the opposing team with its sheer sexiness that distracted every female on the opposing team.

The truth is, my character is a massive beast that not even the main menu of Guild Wars 2 can contain. Nor can a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

If you see me running around in beta with my powerful muscles and a squadron of babes at my side feel free to emote a quick /wave. I might look scary but I'm really just a giant teddybear... unless you call me a lumberjack. Don't ever call me a lumberjack.

    So... can you make a fat woman? huh not that it's my fetish and all but i'm asking this for a friend....'s cousin... 's unlcle... yeah...

    Nah seriously, people been complaining that you can make a fat guy in Star wars but not a fat woman. So I'm curious if guild war addressed that issue.

    Jonathan and I will be working together to review the game. We'll be publishing a handful of Review logs too so we can more intimately analyze portions of our experience.
