Guild Wars 2: Difference between revisions

Line 81:

* [[Enemy Mine]]: While there is a tenuous truce between the Charr and humans, there is still a lot of hatred between them, but the races need to unite in order to defeat the Elder Dragons.

* [[Everyone Is Bi]]: This is confirmed to be in effect for Sylvari society, for whom [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]] is rather literal. Gender is irrelevant to the Sylvari, including in matters of love.

* [[Extreme Doormat]]: [http://www.arena.net/blog/the-mostly-harmless-quaggan The Quaggan], who embody this trope so much that they are known to agree to an aggressor's terms simply because they don't want any trouble. Subverted in that if you [[Beware the Nice Ones|hurt/anger them too much]], [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|they...]] [[Unstoppable Rage|undergo quite a]] [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|transformation]].

* [[The Fair Folk]]: The Sylvari are both an example and a subversion of this trope (although if the [[Crazy Survivalist|Nightmare Court]] has its way, they'll just be an example). On one hand, they are honestly alien to the world, and they operate on a sort of fairy tale logic. On the other hand, they're quite capable of negotiating with other races, and even the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|the Nightmare Court]] has very understandable motives (they're xenophobes, and want to pollute the [[Hive Mind|Dream of Dreams]] so that other Sylvari become as isolationist and insular as they are).
