In English:

Last month, at the European press event, I had an opportunity to ask Martin Kerstein and Eric Flannum a few teeny tiny questions. The interview is kind of an online supplement to the Guild Wars 2 preview that will be published in the August issue of “CD-Action”, the largest Polish gaming magazine, in stores tomorrow, August 2nd, blah, blah, blah.

Sex-having Sylvari, undead breeding animals and yet another, THIS-TIME-123%-SUCCESSFUL-AMAGAWD, attempt to get Mesmer revealed - you'll find it all here! Please enjoy.

CDA: One of the lore questions that bother players the most is – do Sylvari have sex? Are they able to procreate on their own, or just keep sprouting out of the Pale Tree?

Martin Kerstein: I'm not exactly a lore person, but as far as I understand – yes, Sylvari can have sex and they will have sex with whoever they like, they are fully capable of doing so. But they don't do it to create to new Sylvaris. They actually grow from the tree.

CDA: We know one of the Elder Dragons, Zhaitan, commands an army of the undead. What kind of undead will we find in his ranks?

MK: He's based in Orr. The whole continent of Orr basically sunk and all the people died. So when Zhaitan brought Orr up back to the surface, he already had a lot of undead at his disposal. And he'll have whoever falls under his influence.

Eric Flannum: There's a huge variety in Zhaitan's army. Last few maps of the game are Orr, and we have to populate these maps. So you'll see things from undead giants to undead quaggan... and maybe undead chickens and cows! (laughs)

CDA: Are there any really big underwater cities in the game? Or places you will reach swimming down, and then you can walk normally again, some sort of Atlantis?

EF: You mean separate areas like Lion's Arch? No, there aren't any cities that are that large underwater now. And there are no places to swim down and walk normally.

CDA: Let's say I would like to play a Chaotic Evil Mesmer... as Mesmers will, obviously, make it to the final game...

MK: That's based only on your speculation!

CDA: Sure. So, what can I do to role-play an evil character?

MK: You will not be able to play a true evil character, as we want our players to be heroes. Though you can go for the vigilante-style, which means you'll be a good guy, but you can swagger, and intimidate people while talking to them.

CDA: Alright, so what are the differences between characters that are, for example, ferocious and heartful?

EF: When a character is ferocious you'll have a lot of different options. Occasionally, when you're doing your personal story, you'll have an option to do something you couldn't have done, if you weren't ferocious. You'll sometimes get different dialogue options, you'll sometimes see NPCs react differently to your actions.

CDA: These different actions I can perform - how different will they be? Will it be possible to kill an NPC, just through choice, because it's connected to my character's “alignment”? Something similar will be present in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

EF: It's usually not that extreme. We wanted to be appealing to role-playing players as much as possible. But we don't want people to concentrate on their possible gains, when choosing a particular personality. We want players to play the way they want to.
