I love articles like this.|||Quote:




Player exploration of Guild Wars 2 will be encouraged and rewarded, just as it was in the original Guild Wars. It’s up to the environment team to fill our game with memorable locations worthy of that exploration. A series of broken stone columns turns out to be a jumping puzzle to reach a hidden cave mouth overgrown with vines. The caved-in floor of a ruined fort drops you down several stories into a flooded subbasement haunted by the cursed ghosts of pirates. A hatch in the basement of a farmhouse conceals a tunnel to the cavern hideout of a bandit gang.




Personally, this is my favorite part of the blog article. Oh and the pictures are just gorgeous.|||if you look at the team picture, there are three edited things in it.
-the woman at the right standing vertical
-the guy at the left bottom in close up
-the left side of the door has a guy with edited eyes
maybe a dev joking around...|||I think the cardboard woman was edited in as well. 3D is weird imo.|||C'mon guys, can't you see that last picture isn't edited. The woman is in a normal position and her hair and dress aren't defying gravity at all.. And that guy most probably has greaves' desease....
anyway, great read.
