Gwen Concept Art

Or at least one of the things that I wanted to know is revealed. In particular, what the heck was up with Gwen, and what became of her? If you played the first Guild Wars campaign, “Prophecies,” you remember Gwen. Annoying, young, wants a flute and flowers and a new cape, and then you comfort her mother in the Underworld? Yeah, that Gwen.

Judging from the latest concept art for Guild Wars: Eye of the North, she decided to get hard-bodied and heavily into corsetry before taking up Mesmer-riffic power. Which is kind of ironic since you’d think if she’d been living on the fringes of Charr territory, quietly hating them for the last eight years, you’d think she’d have gone into Ice Elementalism to spit right in the face of their fire-obsessed culture.But no, I suppose she decided to go into crazy interrupt-power just to stop their crazy spell-power.

What? I’m looking forward to the Eye of the North pre-release weekend preview this weekend. Yes, I’m going to be playing, trying to get my Hall of Monuments stocked with a few things, hopefully a pre-release weekend trophy if past releases are any measure.

Aren’t you?

okay, I don't play much games. (but I love RPG games anyways)

That chick in the first image... She's hot. But then again, it's only cause it looks like one of my high school crushes. xD She's still hot. (I've a thing for girls with reddish hair... Especially if they can whoop ass.)

That chick in the first image is the little girl in the second image. It’s Gwen. The new expansion takes place 8yrs later in continuity, and she apparently grew up to be a corset-loving hottie. :)

I think you’d like Guild Wars; it’s fast, and complex, and you don’t pay for it monthly.

Huh. James and I were just talking about this around 4am (Friday night/Saturday morning). You should play with him. :)
