The scenes can change depending on your in-game decisions.

Audio and Cinematics Programmer James Boer just added a new blog to the regularly updated Guild Wars 2 site, and this one gives us more detail on the creative process behind the game's cinematics. It turns out all Guild Wars 2 cinematics will be controlled on your PC with no server interaction, which gives the programmers much more control over the mini-movies.

Perhaps the most noteworthy portion of the blog focuses on dynamically branching cinematics. Basically, the choices you make in the game can change the flow of a scene. It might change something minor, such as a line of dialogue, or it could change the entire cinematic. "This is all part of the overarching goal of making the storyline more personal for you," Boer said.
