The Best in the Series By Far!
Let's just say my skepticism is all washed away now after playing through this wonderful game. Guild Wars Nightfall takes places a couple of years after the final battles of Propechies and Factions. It's on the continent of Elona which is in an almost civil war per say as an evil force is trying to break free and there are those who would stop at nothing to free the dark god Abbadon. The story completes the Guild Wars Trilogy and brings in many new faces including a much needed updated henchman system. This new system called "heroes" gives you complete control over atleast 3 of these "heroes" at a time and you can actually set their own spells and attributs and even control how they use them in battle. The design and system is magnificent and a great toy to those who would want to mess with it.
There are many great quests and a wonderful storyline that even blows away the original. The design team of Nightfall did a spectacular job of working on Chapter 3 and making sure it was the game to bring light back into Guild Wars. Some of the best scenery in Guild Wars is in the wonderous and rich area of Vabbi that is just decorated with amazing architecture that you would even forget you're inside of a game for a moment. I don't want to spoil too much, but all I can say is that if you've played Guild Wars before you'll love Nightfall and the way it works. It's beauty, it's battles, and most of all it's story is brought together in this masterpiece.
The only downfall I can give Nightfall is while new players won't have any trouble fitting in here at all, they might be at a loss in understanding certain story elements in later parts of the game. It's not that big of a deal, but the story becomes more powerful and you understand it alot more if you've played the previous chapters.
If you're looking for an MMO this season, this is definately the one for you, novice or expert in the Guild Wars community, you won't be disappointed.
