Thats pretty much it, it's a very militaristic background and as Lupis said theres much competing between Legions. The charr are essentially a giant army/war tribe.LupisDarkmoon wrote:It really depends on your legion, but there's a lot of betrayal and tense, do-or-die combat, as well as a lot of proving your character's strength and honor. It all seems pretty dire and important, so I'm racing from quest to quest instead of just kind of ignoring them as I do on my Asura.
What I LOVE is how you can see the three Legions butting heads because they all have different idea's and strengths that sometimes dont mesh well with the others. It's truly hard to pick my favorite Legion.. I literally cant, I love them ALL.TygerDarkstorm wrote:Honestly, visiting each race on the wiki is a good way to get a feel for how the races' storylines might play out (though I've heard once you hit a certain level it kinda stops anyway). Lupis pretty much hit the nail on the head with the gist of the charr storylines, granted that each legion has its own variances (which is why I have 3 charr, one in each legion xD). It's all *very* militaristic and anyone who's too different is looked down upon. Spellcasters are seen in a shady light (usually), and if you don't have a rank/warband/legion, you may as well be dead. It's all very tense, very dark, and very strict and just drew me right in.
This, I love how the legions "work together". They obviously all need the other legions to exist, after all. There could be no Blood Legion without the covering fire and weaponry of the Iron Legion, or the tactical killings of the Ash Legion. But Ash can't be sneaky without covering fire from Blood or Iron, and Iron can do nothing if the enemy is up close, so Blood needs to take action, and they need Ash to kill those that can't be shot. But it doesn't mean that they all can't hate each other!Doctress wrote:What I LOVE is how you can see the three Legions butting heads because they all have different idea's and strengths that sometimes dont mesh well with the others.

I have a human that was raised on the streets and a choice I made caused her best friend to die. She was PISSED her voice turned venomous and she was seriously frothing mad. I loved that emotion though and to be honest felt it right along with her.. I had a special spot for her friend.Wassa wrote:Charr have the most serious storyline in the game. Most races have that one goofy storyline choice (or more than one) to pick but charr don't have that. Well, you can choose Dinky as your best friend which I guess counts as that goofy story choice. One thing I found is that the charr storyline flows well between your choices. It's a natural flow from your legion story to finding out about your sire to picking your order, which ties back to an old warband mate from the first quest at level one. Other races can have this problem where your last storyline ends and when you start the next one it feels very disjointed from your last quest. NPCs that you meet before might not even remember you or important NPC/events are never mentioned again. Charr don't have this problem, so it's one of my favorites.
Although with the charr storyline their isn't much emotion, but with how the race is I'll cut them some slack. There will be a lot of deaths and your character simply doesn't react to them. However, that's a problem I have with the personal story in general. Deaths happen a lot and your character will just be like "oh well, poor so-and-so, on to the next adventure!" Only once I've seen one of my characters react so emotionally to a tragic event, and it was my asura when his childhood invention was stolen and all copies of the blueprints where reduced to ash. He had just about given up all hope.
Oh. Looks like I should have chosen that choice. My short lived human character was also raised in the streets but I chose to save my friend. We then found out hundreds of townspeople died and my character hardly cared. =/Doctress wrote:I have a human that was raised on the streets and a choice I made caused her best friend to die.

Aye when you save them, your friend is brutally murdered and you only hear how from gossiping townsfolk. It really affected my character and she sought to get revenge. I was shocked that he died to be honest.Wassa wrote:Oh. Looks like I should have chosen that choice. My short lived human character was also raised in the streets but I chose to save my friend.

HAH I seriously just watched that before checking this thread. My friend stumbled upon it accidentally yesterday and thought his game was hacked.TygerDarkstorm wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6qEESY4x4U
