Thoughts

 * Guild Wars - got to be one of the best games ever.
 * Locales
 * The Ring of Fire Islands and the Shiverpeak Mountains. Simply beautiful.
 * The Jade Sea areas look so believable and expansive. The Echovald Forest feels so mysterious and enigmatic.
 * Vabbi is simply beautiful in its emphasis on opulence and extravagance.
 * Characters
 * The females! Most especially Saidra, Devona, Eve, Jamei, and Cynn; in that order.
 * Mhenlo, how did you, supposedly a Monk, be able to attract so many females?!
 * Devona, Aidan, Mhenlo, Eve, and Cynn were very nicely fleshed out for the first two campaigns. When Nightfall came out, glaring inconsistencies was proof that the development teams had some miscommunication from the start, which was really disappointing for me:
 * Aidan's parents were suddenly murdered by Charr instead of his mother having died giving birth to him while crossing the Shiverpeaks.
 * Aidan suddenly took on a darker and more vengeful personality instead of the original calm, cool, and wise persona.
 * There was not a single hint of the relationship that Cynn and Mhenlo had.
 * Mhenlo's Nightfall quotes contradicted themselves in that one suggests Mhenlo came to Elona before Cantha, yet another that he completed the Factions storyline before coming to Elona.
 * Devona totally lost the earlier impression that she holds duty and loyalty above all else. Her quotes show her as having too much battle lust and not as serious.
 * Cynn feels... different. She feels wild, crazy, and reckless; instead of the her earlier impulsive, yet confident, arrogance.
 * Eve was the only one I didn't really have problems with, although she did have better and more abstract quotes previously.
 * Stuff
 * The best looking armor has got to be the female mesmer's Ascended Enchanter's Armor.
 * Necromancers have the best overall armor, both male and female. Hardest to decide which is the best-looking... except for Scar Pattern Armor I suppose, it's interesting, but can't really say I like it.
 * With the release of Nightfall, I'm totally disappointed with Necromancer armor. They simply do not look good, to put it nicely. Overall, Nightfall armor feels inferior compared to the previous two campaigns.
 * Female ranger's dance and male necromancer's dance.
 * Monsters
 * I think the Afflicted looks really really cool!
