The white stag is really cool. Exploring the dream more and finding new non-sylvari characters/creatures connected to it would be neat. Is there any indication how old the dream and nightmare are?

Might make sense for it to be Menzies. Since Balthazar ended up being a megalomaniac that wanted revenge above all else, it might make sense to recontextualize Menzies as "not as bad as we thought." Maybe all the stories about him were just really bad press from Balthazar's propaganda machine? Then again, it would be cool for him to have a "gray" vibe similar to Jormag. He became a new god out of need for a quick replacement, so the other gods reluctantly chose him with no better immediate options. He is being kept in line by them, but he's still pretty shady. Might make a good "frenemy."

I think it's plausible they could be restored, but I also don't think it's necessary. They are pretty interesting as-is. Regardless we should have more dwarf characters involved in the story and influencing the world now that Primordus is gone. They are a cool part of the lore.

I wonder if there will be a clash of cultures. I am sure we will see purists causing trouble, or maybe remnants of the white mantle? I guess the white mantle don't hate other humans though necessarily... Maybe we will see white mantle remnants joining the purists? Then again purists are pretty hateful to outsiders, so it might not make sense for them to collaborate with krytans.

Zojja was just ok imo, but I would like to see her again mostly because it's been so long and I want to see how they explain her absence. I really liked Ankka and feel like we need more interesting asura characters. Zojja could probably become that because whatever she has been doing off screen this whole time has probably developed her in an interesting way, hypothetically.

This was a cool side story. Didn't know much about gw1 when I did this collection, but it got me to wiki some stuff. I like how far it reached back, and how the reveal of King Jadon's fate might affect things in gw2... The mesmer collective sounds very cool and would be great to interact more with it in game.

Doreiann in Echovald Forest who is involved in the Forever Tree event. That was a cool quest chain and I would like a follow up on her, the tree, and the warden (or similar stories). Not an old character but a stand-out minor character. There are a lot of characters I would like to see again, like Bangar and Crecia. Zafirah feels like she was meant to have a bigger role, so seeing her and some of the Elona characters again would be a good follow-up. Was it just a rumor she was going to star in a mobile game that got scrapped?

Jormag was probably my favorite. Cool concept that was well executed (until the end). I liked a few others but none of them get enough screen time. Ankka was really cool, too. Feel like she should have lived until the end as another conduit of the void similar to what Soo-Won became for the DE meta. Most other villains were just lukewarm or disappointing, but I liked Joko and Scarlet generally. Bangar was cool too.
