I only now realised Vekk is also voiced by the brain from "Pinky and the Brain" XD Also, while playing eye of the north ages back, though never making it max rep, its cool to see these old cut scenes with more context now.
In GW2 I found the Norn to be the least interesting race. Just giant humans with Viking inspired traditions. This actually does a better job at fleshing them out.
I can't believe how much the story, the dialogue and the cinematics are better in this game than in Guild Wars 2. And I never played Guild Wars 1. How did Arenanet go from this to that crap we got in GW2? Whose idea was to make those crappy cinematics?
yeah and it took an entire army and airships lol. in gw1 times the six divines were still present in tyria, so the average hero channelling their magic was far stronger, as were their enemies. if bloodstones keep exploding in gw2, maybe things'll change though
@@Masaru_kun If you're trying to justify it in lore, there's an answer. Go to the Hall of Monuments and talk to Micah Fergson. He says "Any skills I once taught pale in comparison to the power you wield, hero." On top of this, we know the ambient magic level in GW2 is higher than it was in GW1, even before the deaths of dragons/gods, or detonations of Bloodstones. The GW2 hero is explicitly, canonically, more powerful than the GW1 hero.
Precisely mate! I cannot agree more... it's just devastating how the story changed in GW2.. the gameplay and graphics are nice but the story.. the story... fell to the ground in my opinion..
+Bacon Tree pretty much, that's also how the charr and norn came to respect each other so much, one day while on a patrol a charr warband encounters a single norn, who proceeded to drive back the entire warband.
+Teofil “Amnail” Raicu don't forget that up until eye of the north, the charr were only ever seen as bad guys who destroyed ascalon (with the exception of like, one lone charr you run into in the realm of torment in nightfall)
Teofil Raicu there's still a lot of racism against charr in kryta, and vice versa with the charr vs humans in gw2. they have a very long history of not getting along and even people in the moar recent history oppose making peace. it's really interesting. very relateable to social issues in our own world as well.
KGP HD Took that advice a while ago. Amazing game, but as college required a lot of time, I only got as far as Denravi before I had to pause for a while.
What is NOT explained in Guild Wars 2 is why the Norn gods (or spirit beings whom they worship) are NOT represented in Guild Wars 2 world lore.... they're there, but as to their origins, this remains a mystery. The dwarves are gone, but again, one can only conjecture as to what, or whom, they looked to as their Creator(s)....
Dwarves worshipped Great Dwarf, this is pretty clwar. They sometimes mention THe Five so they at least aknowladge their existance and had and order that worshipped and served Glint, dragon prophet.

My uncle's played this game together years ago

So many memories
why are there upright charr? oh god, they're so weird.
I miss the Norn and Charr of GW1.
8:00 the difference between her body/armour/face and his stretched low use model lol
When you get a daughter instead of a son
0:17 fist def holding tight
That death grip though
More of a life grip in this case.
Actually that tail was wrapped around her neck, she landed 1/2 conscious...
A masterpiece of editing. That timing is like on some Dark Side of the Moon / Wizard of Oz stuff. Well done!
Who had "Kite Killing Humans September" ?
2020 be like
Savage
amazing thanks for teh work
I love this soooooooo very much!!
This is horribly wonderful. Thank you.
This is well done!
So, anyone here from the latest patch?
25:58 why is that charr standing straight up?
Shaman class Charr stood up right to establish dominance
Oh, man. Finding out what Gadd really was to Vekk hit me right in the kokoro!
In GW2 I found the Norn to be the least interesting race. Just giant humans with Viking inspired traditions. This actually does a better job at fleshing them out.
Pyre's voice is familiar... where have i heard it before?
I REMEMBEEEEER!!!! The dragon from Dragon's dogma.
also rytlock brimstone
you are right, and actually i was wrong, Grigori's voice actor was David Lodge
Steve Blum.
yup thanks very good job!
Been playing GW2 since it was released and the story is shockingly bad compared to the first game.
Wow Gwen is a bastard.
was eye of the north the last patch in GW1??
Emi The Ninja yes last expansion
kinda, but they released more dlcs after but not like a whole new world like that
Watching this reminds me how shitty and annoying Gwen is.
is that gwen the same gwen that folloewed us at preascalon in gw1? and the one on the ebanhawk cementery tomb?
Yeah!
indeed ;)

Puzzling Centaur they couldnt affort to contract another company to do the cinematics like in GW1 apparently
It's not just cinematics....it's the whole story, lore, universe....everything that matters the most IMHO.
7.47 that beard lmao!
is 50:44 the pale tree?
+IcedSalad Yep.
This made me realize how weak Guild Wars 2 Descends are compare to their Guild Wars 1 Ancestors.
yeah and it took an entire army and airships lol. in gw1 times the six divines were still present in tyria, so the average hero channelling their magic was far stronger, as were their enemies. if bloodstones keep exploding in gw2, maybe things'll change though

42:44 WOW the FEELS!! The story here is way better than GW2
Man, this makes me realize the Norn are totally badass. "The Norn need no armies. We are Norn." ...because each Norn IS an army!
+Bacon Tree pretty much, that's also how the charr and norn came to respect each other so much, one day while on a patrol a charr warband encounters a single norn, who proceeded to drive back the entire warband.
What hapend with dwar if the are ded
"My name is Gwen"... still breaks me like a little girl...
gab4moi ther was taers on my first encoununter of that scene
The moment you realize that the Dragon statue at the end of "Eye of The North" is actually the Logo to "Guild Wars 2".
And it's actually Primordus, one of the elder dragon.
The Hero: Hey Vekk, what are we doing tonight? Vekk: The same thing we do every night Bookah, TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
gw1 is extremely racist with the charrs :/
can't imagine why............
shitty racist humans! xD

the asura voice actor is so bad XD
dude, its Brain, sounds fine to me.
This is awesome. Is there a similar cutscene summery put together for the other games?
44:49....holy shit snacks!!!!
The lady with the white hair is also the voice for the female human in gw2 ?
And she was the narrator on Prophecies
very nice.... :) thanks for making this :)
As a player of GW2 but not GW1, this helps a lot for properly understanding what the heck happened 250 years prior. Thank you for this.
You could simply play the game. The story is worth it.^^

@@michaelclarke6439 Looks like the lore regarding the norn gods are going to be explored in next episodes.
