Faction is the second one, while a good one it also the most criticize.. it's more linear than the prophecies and nightfall. Nightfall (last one) is a very good expanssionwith lot of new content including the heroes system.. i'd advice to start with it as it is really fun to manage you're own team through the campaign.

You need nightfall to play prophecies and faction with you're team of heroes.

Prophecies, imo is the best. It's the easiest to learn and it could just be my attachment to it being the first one, but I really do like it.

Factions I didn't really like too much. The back and forth quests, closed spaces and locked gates really annoyed me. Although I did hear that it gets better afterward. This chapter is more geared towards pvp so if you like that then this should probably be your pick.

Nightfall of course has the heroes. I think the storyline was decent and it was more akin to Prophecies.

"Jews can''t be Paladins"

Yes factions is more pvp oriented as the champain only has 12 missions versues NF which has 17 and Prof which has 25, plus the quests in factions are too easy and give out about three times more exp than the other too.  As well, once u have progressed far enough into factions you get to choose between two "factions" and thats where the pvp fun really starts. Prof has all the core classes (warrior, ranger, monk, elementalist, mezmer, and nercomancer), factions has all the core classes plus assassins and ritualists, and NF has all the core plus the dervish and paragon. NF has heros which are your personal npcs who u can customize their skills with any u have earned on your account. Difficulty wise I find NF to be the hardest, then factions, and finally prof, so prof might be a good chocie if your begining. NF and factions offer rewards ( free max weapons and armor crafters with cool armor) while prof doesn't. Also each game has skills that are in all three and some that are specific to each game, so those with all three can have an advantage over those who don't.

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin "
-William Shakespeare ,

If you like long , awesome game and you want too make your character good at PvE (Player agianst Evrything )choise Prophecies . If you like not long , intresting game and you want too make your character good agianst PvP ( Player versus Player ) choise Faction . If you want short , intresting game and you want too make your character good at Farming ( Farming means earning cash ) choise NightFall . I recommend Prophecies ^^ .

First you must give , only than you can take .

if u know where a sams club is u can buy them all in a package for a really good price,(i give delux cookies the credit, they said this first)

personally i would say to buy nightfall, and when it comes out eye of the north(which is the first expansion pack for guild wars)

I would have to say that I think Prophecies (first one) was the best. The story was pretyt long, and I like how you have to do quests to get certain skills, instead of just buying them all. Thought they all there ups and downs. The story in Nightfall is pretty awesome, and the pvp in Factions is real nice. Hard to choose a certain one, but don't get them all unless your sure that you like that style of game. Some people cannot stand the completely instanced areas.

Even though some people thinks it kills the party system it also helps if you cant find people. So yay.... Anyway thats the one to buy in my opinion!!

i recomend factions cuz it has the best PvP out there. and a great storyline.....but 1 thing  i really like about nightfall is hero system... they r slightly diff from henches. henches can be found in factioins too.
