I was lazing around some Guild Wars channels earlier today and eavesdropped/waltzed into a conversation on Orrian architecture. The general consensus was basically how Orr is such a gorgeous place from architectonic point of view – the scale is amazing, the giant arches go all the way to the sky…
… but then someone finds a charr hair somewhere, tableflips the entire island and sinks it into the sea, because they’re great in architecture, but kinda stupid when it comes to reality.
I pointed out how that would look nice on an ad poster… and it sort of snowballed from there.
