    And there will be.

    IT's the bar scene from Mass effect 2.

    Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.

    In GW2?  Wow I didn't know that, so both games will have that eh?

     GW2 has dynamic events, not quests.

    That's funny.  I coulda swore I saw a dude talk to an NPC, and get something that looked a LOT like a quest to kill 3 mobs that pop up when you approach a certain area.

    Sure, it may have been a precourser to heading to a DE.  It was a quest.  If I get a popup telling me to kill 10 dudes to advance to the next stage of a DE, I call that a quest.  Stage 2 to kill 4 harder dudes is part of a quest chain.  The DE changes after your quest chain is done.  Thus leading to a new quest chain.  But instead of failing and redoing that quest, I am giving a different quest chain.

    You can label it anything you want, but that's what it is.  There are quests in GW2.  They are "things to do involving NPCs, causing you to go out and kill/fight/talk/meet somewhere for them".  It's in the videos...

    I haven't see a DE that involves looting things (like, let's say, cloth from mobs to help build tents for a town...), but I wouldn't be surprised if looting something was part of it.  A quest!

    And Yes, there is plenty of VO in GW2.  Or are you saying the whole "cutscence" in the city was just random and not part of a quest?  The video, which was alpha footage, was the normal GW talking.  Lack of facial movements, rather bland VO.  Not a game breaker by any means nor a game maker if it's the best.  Just bringing up something that hopefully is improved.

     

    Of course, I don't know why this thread is still going when it's been answered already.  I am a troll, so it's allowed. AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, SHAME!

    Here's an earlier example of how lively Bioware worlds are.

    Here's some footage from Taris in KOTOR 1.

    I don't know how it will be in this game, but i have to say that in every of their game i have been surprised by the extra work made on NPC. But to be honest i didn't play much the few last bioware game, i'm more of the older bioware game up untill NWN.

    I dont know, I watched that and it felt very stale, robotic and no pun intended...staged.

    Was big open spaces with a few NPC's doing nothing, not even interacting with each other.

     

    Ive been to plenty of bars and nightclubs, a few dance clubs, and more than a few strip clubs, and they were nothing even close to that. That was populated like something out of a low budget Roger Corman movie (Toxic Avenger). You know the one where its only 10 actors in the whole movie and they just change shirts to try and trick us into thinking its diferent people.

    I found it almost depressing. And I sure hope they do better than that.

    You know, you do have a point. In those games they did feel like movie extras but it's already been proven through multiple reviews that NPCs in TOR act like they did in Oblivion. They walk around AND randomly chat about stuff. Seems lively enough for me.
