Cynder.2509 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm just curious and it could help me with my project where I'm writing a kind of novel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Norn I'd assume.They have moots regularly, wherein they drink lots of alcohol. Most of their open world hubs tend to be taverns.Their camaraderie revolves around celebrating other norn's successes, rather than actually aiding them given their more solitary lifestyles. It's just wait until they successfully do something heroic or legendary and then get together and celebrate.Charr would probably come up as second in alcohol consumption, since they also have meatoberfest which is similar to a moot. Though I feel the difference is that charr have more of an inclination towards meat consumption than alcohol even though both are consumed in large quantities during meatoberfests (A lot more of their hubs are focused around animal farms compared to norn and their taverns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Some dialogues in the game feel like booze is a bigger part of the Norn identity than the Spirits of the Wild or hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Templar.4589 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I seem to recall some ambient dialog somewhere (I could be imagining this) where some charr say something about their booze being more potent than the norns'. But potency aside, I'd also speculate that in terms of pure quantity consumed or influence in the culture, the norns' would take first place.

ugrakarma.9416 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Although norms are more portrayed as drunk, we see many "facilities" in human ambient, from taverns to wineries are almost in human ambient related stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Kitsunee.4620 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I wonder of sylvari can even consume alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfb.7025 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Its obvious Norn are the most drunk race.One of your character creation option involves getting drunk and losing an artifact.At least 1/5 of the norn ambience dialogue involves beer, mostly about celebrating for some succesful hunt or something like that.Icebrood Saga took place after one of the main characters (a Norn, of all races) got drunk and lost his mother's bow.As second i'm debating between human and charr; charr only drinks in celebrations, or while chilling, they spend most of their waking hours scouting/fighting/building/whatever their legions order them to do.Humans on the other side, specially nobles, however not as vicious as norn and charr, they do drink a lot of wine in their fancy reunions, and oh boy they do have a lot of spare time to do that.@White Kitsunee.4620 said:I wonder of sylvari can even consume alcohol.Yes they can. one proof is in the Edge of Destiny's book. Caithe does get a little bit drunk after the group offers her some beer as celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
