Yet most of the quests are presented to you in little pop-up text windows, which hardly immerse you into the game's world. A growing list of inside jokes and geeky references, along with the convenient but inexplicable ability to instantly teleport to any major location you've been to, further ensure that this isn't likely to be a game that makes you lose yourself in its deep storyline. -nightfall review
Ive been thinking of buying guild wars but ive read that the game is not very immersive. Its poor for a solo rpg. Even the quest texts are given in a popup.
not completely true. Sidequests are, but the main quests are all fully voice acted cut-scenes that are of great quality. Of all the MMORPGs I've tried, GW has the most cut-scenes, and it a lot more immersive storyline wise. It feels more like a solo RPG then a MMORPG at times.
I have to disagree with that statement, I'm afraid...
The only reason I even considered the guild wars was the fact that I heard it had a good sp part. But it seems its only so when compared to mmogs which are quite low on the sp immersion level so its not much of a thing to gloat about.
*shrug* that depends on which sp RPG you compare it with. it is less immersive then Baldur's Gate, but more immersive then Diablo. Like a lot of modern RPGs, it lies somewhere in between.
I for one did feel part of the storyline, I got choked up when one of the main characters died, and even more when I found out what his fate was. Unlike in some recent sp RPGs I've played I really had the feeling I accomplished something in Guild Wars: Prophesies, leading the exodus from Ascalon felt very epic to me, more then just beating another bad guy.
The storyline and execution of the main quest are as good as in any RPG I've played in the last few years, and if you go in alone with heroes and henchmen, you wouldn't know it was a MMORPG rather then single player.
But you seem to have your mind made up based on reviews, and that is fine ofcourse. It doesn't sound like MMORPGs are your thing, and you are not the only one in that.
