Below is the path you follow for one of the missions in the game. For the most part your mission is just to walk from A to B with a few stops along the way, but check out the route imposed on you by the terrain: <\/p>\n

My number one complaint with Guild Wars (Prophesies) is that the outdoor areas have a really bad case of habitrail. You can sometimes see where you’re going, but you can’t get there without meandering all over the place like little Billy in a Family Circus comic. The map usually shows a green arrow to indicate your destination but knowing the direction you want to go is useless when you’re at the mercy of snaking, branching trails. I think they should replace that icon with a piece of cheese, because I usually felt like a lab rat running a maze by the time I reached it. <\/p>\n
Sometimes you’ll see where you want to go, which is usually another path, just like the one you’re on, but down a tiny little dirt slope. But you can’t just jump<\/em> down. No, you have to embark on some sort of Lewis & Clark expedition to find the route down there, walking over hills and through canyons and fighting waves of bloodthirsty foes before you reach that spot ten feet below you. Hills divide the landscape like walls, blocking your view of the gorgeous horizon so that you spend most of your time staring at brown and beige hillsides.<\/p>\n Below is the path you follow for one of the missions in the game.
