Also I forgot to add, say I complete everything in the pre-searing Ascalon. And I focus on the main story after that point. Can I move on and complete all the other campaigns with the same character and then move back to finish the secondary quests in Prophecies? I like to only have 1 character and do complete everything I can.
As for moving back - yes you can 100% do this. Pre searing to post searing is the only time ever when moving foward in the main plot removes access to earlier parts of the game (except a single tiny area with no quests at the start of NF). Guild wars is built around not restricting people (map travel system as an example) - so you're free to do whatever, whenever.
Yeah, I'm planning on picking up the game. The storyline seems very interesting, I took a peek at your latest vision about Anguish and I'm definetly buying the game. Just one question, I am starting with Prophecies if I do not complete the side quests in the pre-searing do I lose out on important parts of the lore?. If i do choose to complete everything in the pre-searing how long will it take me?
The side quests are interesting, but not vital by any means. A lot of people watch my videos because they're shocked at how much more there is to learn in the side quests - but pre-searing is the one (and only!) place I skipped a lot of them. Everywhere else i'm VERY thorough. The pre side-quests are mostly uninteresting lore-wise but some give really nice hints about the royal family. You learn about the current king having usurped the throne, and royalists trying to over throw him
I just started watching your videos and was wondering why you were not picking up the drops from the creatures. Is it because you can not sell them for money to NPC?
They're just worth very very very little early in the game - and back then there was nothing expensive I was expecting to do in the LP, so I could ignore most.
despite the fact that the rightful heir wants no part in it. You can also learn about the prince's love life - something which has big repercussions in post-searing. But again, you don't need to know this stuff its just nice. Generally people listen to my videos like an audio book while playing alongside me - so they dont have to miss out on anything. Maybe thats something you're interested in?
@WoodenPotatoes Yeah, since I'm new I'm afraid of losing out on the little stories from the side quests. I guess I will have to explore Ascalon pre-searing by myself.

It'll be fun, though! Pre searing is the only place though, promise. I'm very comprehensive elsewhere.
