As the ZAM staff discussed a few days ago, we had the incredible opportunity to take a trip to the ArenaNet studios, where the development team is hard at work on the sequel to one of the bestselling MMO (and PC) games of all time, Guild Wars. While at the offices, we sat down with two of the foremost Guild Wars lore experts at the studio, Bobby Stein and Ree Soesbee, who were kind enough to answer our questions about the story and setting surrounding Guild Wars 2.

In the first part of our interview, we discussed some of the general concepts people will find in the storytelling in GW2, and in this part of the interview we opted to go even more in-depth and really get the low down on the Sylvari and what it takes to really be a solid voice over artist.
