Talk:Goren

Attributes
ok i know hes supposed to be stupid and all but why does goren come with a big hammer but have all his points in swordsmanship? Was this an error or a odd joke from anet? ~the rat~


 * Lazy coders, Koss comes with points in Swordsmanship so they probably just copied his Attribute spread for Goren. Entropy 12:37, 27 January 2007 (CST)

AI Skill with various Builds
Is Goren any good as an Axe Warrior? What builds have you tried, which ones have you experienced success with, etc (with all weapons)? --70.243.80.84 17:22, 30 January 2007 (CST)
 * He is good with any weapon. I used the And he does so considerate damage at lvl 18.-X H K

Goren and Koss
The same question could be asked about Olias and the Master, Margrid and Jin, or Dunkoro and Tahlkora, but I'm asking it here. Has anyone ever noticed a functional difference in the way that Koss and Goren play their builds? Usually I like to give the two wildly diverging builds so I don't really have any firsthand evidence either way, but I'm wondering if anyone's noticed any difference between the two. Perhaps one holds aggro better, one will switch targets faster, etc.? Intuitively I doubt that there's all that much difference between them, but it would be pretty cool if there was some small measure of personality to your heroes beyond the builds you give them.

Idle quotes
I'm not sure how idles quotes work, but I got this gem out of him with Pledge of the Merchant Princes primary quest active, just after I got him (and previously Margrid) during my questing. It went something like this:

"I think, after the end of the world I'll ask Margrid to go out with me. Do you think she'll say yes?"

Also as a side on the trivia section, "Hoo-ah!" is the Ranger counterpart to the Marine Corps "Ooh-rah!" (the latter usually is usually closer to an aggressive grunt fromthe bottom of the gut--and imho both are contributions to the basic British style military indoctrination training techniques by African Amercan influences.--Rafe Alexander 18:51, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * If you can confirm that then just add it in to the idle quotes section. We're still in the progress of figuring things out. Someone will verify it if necessary. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 21:13, 2 March 2007 (CST)

Anybody want a peanut?
Goren reminds me of Fezzik from the Princess Bride. Really big, really dumb. Both pretty comical characters with some pretty funny lines. If only we could "nickname" our heroes. -- Marin  Blood  bane  08:56, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

Goron Hammer
Can it be proven that he wields that hammer before he joins the party? Not that it makes a huge difference - but I am curious now whether other NPC or monster perhaps have modded equipment which makes them stronger than they ought to be. (T/C) 03:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * What, the "customized Barrel Hammer of Fortitude with 17-30 damage, +20 HP and +20% damage from the customization"?[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  04:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Most, if not all, the heroes you can get start with some mod on their weapon/off-hand --Gimmethegepgun 07:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Unknown quote source
Goren just announced,
 * "Once again we see that swords and tightrope walking don't mix."

And I was like... LOL wtf? Does anyone have any idea where that's from? -- AudreyChandler 21:05, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
