So yeah...LotV?

Another RTS in the pipeline.

I like civilization, but I might wait for the price to go down.

You may have to wait many months for that....

My perfect LoTV campaign:

1) Played from Artanis's perspective. I care about galactic maneuverings and political infighting. I don't give two craps about gathering crystals/artifacts or any of the other stupid fantasy nonsense Zeratul will be doing.

2) Protoss launch their attack on Char. They develop a new superweapon (like a black hole device) that the zerg can't defend against.

3) A new protoss character (the protoss's best warrior) beats primal Kerrigan in a 1v1. The protoss are the elder race of natural psionics. Kerrigan is an infested human, and deserves to lose to the protoss' best warrior. However, Zeratul saves her.

4) The hybrids attack, forcing the protoss to retreat.

5) Duran comes out of the woodwork to screw us over somehow and give us a PvT. Turns out Narud was just a random lackey and not at all related to him. Some major character dies as a result. Stukov puts a bullet between Duran's eyes.

6) The Dominion is absent in this game because their military has been crushed for BW and all of the SC2 games. The Raiders might show up in some capacity.

7) We do NOT retake Aiur at all in this campaign because that's a vast undertaking that would be foolish given the hybrid threat.

8) Amon is just a normal guy, not some super saiyan with a power level of 9000. His BS motives finally get explained. He gets defeated through subterfuge and cunning instead of some giant boss battle.

9) Once Amon is dead, Zeratul shoves his warp blade down Kerrigan's throat and says something badass like "Raszagal sends her regards".

10) The protoss (or hybrids) wipe out the remaining queens, so that Cerebrates and a new Overmind can take over in SC3.

[Robear]

90% of that is definitely not happening, but it would be pretty cool. :P Cerebrates are never coming back though.

[Turalyon]

^ Heh, so cerebrates were removed because they were too much like Tyranid synapse creatures? Might as well get rid of Overlords, too, then. Given that Tyranids operate on a hivemind, that means it'll be unlikely for the Zerg to ever have the Overmind back either. Booo!

I don't think Blizzard has the guts to kill Kerrigan. I think most people foreign to the story recognize her as the main character and Raynor second. And Warcraft's story has been somewhat in a spiral ever since Arthas died.

Perhaps she'll turn human again and realizing she can't adjust to a normal life, she travels to distant Earth and forms a revolutionary movement against the UED to repay her debt to humanity.

One things for sure though, I'd rather have her leave the Zerg because with her there it's rather boring.

Am I the only one who thinks Kerrigan is gone for good after HotS? (At least for LotV)

Nah, I've had a strong feeling she is since all 3 campaigns seem to really lean heavy on her story.

The only question is death or "retirement", and I just have a hard time believing that it'll be the former.

This is basically the reason why I still creep around. Thank you.

That's obvious. If she's NOT removed from the swarm, she'll have no choice but to leave it all behind.

Despite being for the greater good, I believe Zeratul's other reason is that he would reveal in LotV to her that no one FORCED her to go into the Zerus spawning pool for the primal transformation, she did that voluntarily, instead of taking the time to look at the picture HARDER and see if Mengsk had been telling the truth or not about Raynor's "execution."

For that reason, Zeratul would argue that he wasn't the one who manipulated Kerrigan into all this, she did that herself for her inability to think hard enough on the whole picture.

And for that, she'll now be punished because the future she and Raynor planned for (after Mengsk's death) at the beginning of HotS will now never be.
