Shroud.2307 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I saw something like this asked on the GW2 Reddit ages ago and it has stuck in my mind since. There are a lot of things you can imagine to make fantasy a more tangible reality but for some reason, combining the idea of scent and magic really paints a picture for me. Here are a few of mine; **Necromancer** Embalming fluid, rotting wood, worn leather **Engineer** Steel, gasoline, grease **Ranger** Pine, sweat, camp fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nol Fran Shee.1285 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 It would also be play mode sensitive. For instance in WvW necros would smell like cheese. So would rangers for that matter and I can't say in polite company what thief would smell like (but you don't want it on your shoe!). When VR gets common and different companies are competing for your VR dollars, smell may be one of the things that gets added. So in addition to a soundscape (music, ambient noises, etc...) there would be a smell-scape. I bet that as Tequatl nears that the smell of death and decay would become overpowering.

Guards dont get blood on themself, it would taint their shiny armor, they have aegis all around themself to block spilling blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yannir.4132 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'd imagine Guardians smell like burnt flesh and clothing what with them constantly setting their opponents into flames. Same for Elementalists but they would also alternate between smelling like ionized air, dirt and iron, and the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram.8256 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I have seen no bathrooms in GW2, so I would assume we all smell pretty funky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I would think that every one would smell different even on the same class. It depending on the hygiene of the player. My necro uses Maison's body wash and smells like vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antycypator.9874 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Soldier professions should smell like sweaty chunks of meat, because they're running in full plated armor which is super HEAVY (it can be even 60kg of steel). + or worse if they're running across desert in the same equipment, but I think they wouldn't survive for long. Traveller professions... I don't know, maybe like old leather. Scholar professions should smell like everything, because their cloth "armors" would probably catch every smell.

Diak Atoli.2085 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 All of them would smell like soap... I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Guess it depends on what they're wearing and themed on I guess. Race would play a part too.. I expect Sylvari would naturally smell like trees/nature maybe flowers. Necro i'm playing on atm I would think smells of metal.. iron and perfume, probably a mostly sweet smell with a hint of iron/blood to it. Likewise another of My Necros I expect smells like charred cloth and fire. Really does depend on many things I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drgnfly.5812 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 What an interesting question. My Charr Ranger probably smells like wood oil and saddle soap. My Asuran Elementalist has the acrid smell of burning wires mixed with a faint hint of dirt. She is more Golemancer than Ele. ? My Norn Warrior smells of sweat and mead. My Human Engineer has the salty smell of the ocean. My Sylvari Thief has a woody oak and tobacco smell. My Asuran Guardian smells of ice and cold granite. My Human Mesmer has a deep smell of chocolate and bourbon. My Norn Necromancer smells of vellum and lanolin. My Human Revenant smells of charcoal, sand, and salt.

ZDragon.3046 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Basically all of my characters prob smell like charr to some extent (take that as a good or bad..... thing i guess idk) one or two of them having a more burnt scent than the others from time to time.... (FLAME LE...) My main necro (charr reaper) smells like what ever shampoo you can get from the general stores in Tyria. Necromancy is dirty work but I would hope he still prefers not to smell like rotting flesh or blood when he didn't have to. oh and my one Sylvari prob... southern pine needles :D (cant get enough of that in the fall even better when they are burned must admit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain.1659 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Now this is an interesting topic. Thank you OP :) Depends on the race in my opinion. A sylvari and a charr can never smell the same. Especially after rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
