Hey all, love the discussion going on in this thread. Thought I'd shed a little light on the process of choosing characters involved in the plot. There's usually a set of core iconic characters integral to the plot beats. For example, Rytlock was clearly integral to the charr civil war depicted in IBS, and Braham was a natural medium for exploring the norn side of things. It's a balancing act of trying to give each of the (very large) cast their screen time, and sadly some characters appear less often than we'd like. It is something we're conscious of, so keep giving your feedback!

For End of Dragons, we had a bit more flexibility in choosing the cast. Keep in mind that we want to introduce new local Canthan characters as well, but in regards to the iconics we chose characters for whom we wanted to make meaningful progression in their growth as characters. In the upcoming livestream event, we'll talk more about a few of those characters (and introduce you to some n...

I'm curious, have there been points when what looked like a good opportunity showed up, but then it had to be removed due to various reasons? Or have the story beats just never really lead in that general direction? Also, betting that's a pretty long list. :p

u/KamuiHyuga Short answer is, yes, there were plans that had to get backburnered for various reasons that I can't go into.

So here is a question - did you guys ever figure out who E is? Did you ever decide or was it just a plot thread you left danging to explore at some later date?

u/Andulias I know who E is. We've had that planned for many years. Just haven't found a good opportunity to pick that back up and move it forward due to a million reasons. But it's on the list.

u/DemethValknut Thanks! I try when I can. Things are super busy right now but I'm trying to balance being active/available in ways that make sense.

We don't find out, at least so far we haven't, and it's not all that likely that he'll be involved any time soon, given that he was mostly centered around Kryta.

It's possible that they had plans to reveal him surrounding some other content, such as the unresolved Krytan throne mystery or the Wizard's tower. It's also possible that they had no intention of ever revealing the character, assuming he/she/whatever has nothing to gain from being revealed, so the players were theorizing who it is all this time for nothing.

While the latter explanation is unsatisfying, it would be a better world building moment - why would somebody who's entire business is being elusive let one of the most infamous people on the planet know who they are? On the other hand, Anet doesn't seem to build mysteries with no intention of resolving them, as some writers like D...

u/Heartsure I like to think of it as shelved. But yeah, it's been a while.

I'll relay that to the Design, Art, Animation, FX, and Audio teams. They really made something special IMO.
