It's like telling people "you cant play skyrim without playing oblivion", it makes no sense.


Hell, the reason why gw2 is such an amazing game is that they maxxed the user-friendlyness, making u able to play gw2 without ever playing gw1... heck i never played any mmorppg before gw2 and im doing just fine

Each game is its own world and scenario, and im pretty sure everyone migrated to gw2 anyway.

Just get the 2nd
In all fairness, Oblivion was and is a kick ass game and is definitely worth a play, especially with an enhanced gfx mod.
Though you are spot-on as far as the GW1/GW2 comment. There is absolutely no reason to play GW1 unless you really want to play to learn the story, but you can just find the timeline on a wiki somewhere. Start with GW2 as sighbear said.
