Gnomes and technology is a convention that goes back at least as far as Dragonlance and probably farther.  It's like Yahtzee was saying, why always have elves with pointy ears and trees, dwarves with battle-axes and stones, and humans being gigantic bell ends?



TRADITION!

Of course you want to come up with an alternative to the standard Tolkienian/ D&D mythos, I'm all for that.  It's just most of the people that do that end making JRPGs....

est:
Yeah, I guess my point didn't come across very well.  I was asking why they gotta stick with boring old cliches when the GW1 world wasn't so strictly generic.

McTaggart:
I think I'm done with fantasy. There's just nothing to be excited about. Stock fantasy races, stock fantasy script, stock fantasy world, stock fantasy names, stock fantasy soundtrack*, filters on the gruff dude's voice to make him sound gruffer. I like the idea of a Guild Wars 2 but there's just nothing to get me excited about this one.

*still better than Warhammer Online's though.

clockworkjames:
Looks very guild wars-ey I just hope it is less linear.

Alex C:
I fuckin' hate gnomes.
