So yeah...LotV?

[ragnarok]

These are my predictions:

0.) Zeratul dies by means of winged fairy.

1.) Kerrigan and Artanis merge into the first of a new generation of Xel'Naga. Leading a legion of other newborn Xel'Naga, they defeat Amon, sending the remaining Hybrids into disarray.

2.) Raynor is mortally wounded, forcing Kerrigan to save him by means of infestation. As the dust settles and Amon is defeated, Jim Raynor, the new King of Blades, takes the Swarm far, far away, watching over humanity as a distant guardian.

3.) Several Brood Mothers defy Raynor and abscond into the recesses of space with their own broods and agendas.

4.) "Rohana means family."

5.) Those Protoss corrupted by Amon are freed, but are left reeling in disarray. Vorazun steps in to lead the Daelaam. The Dark Templar now outnumber the Khalai and are the dominant faction among Protoss society. Vorazun declares there are no longer any tribes, there is only ONE Tribe -- the Tribe of Protoss.

Without Amon or Ulrezaj, the Tal'Darim are shattered; a scant few linger as holdouts, but their power is forever broken.

6.) For the first time in history, all Terran powers in the Koprulu Sector willingly unite under the leadership of Valerian Mengsk.

7.) The UED wants a piece of that sweet Koprulu ass.

Ok, let's address these points here:

Point 0: I'm expecting his death similar to that of Tassadar's or something.

Point 1: Complete BS. The corrupted Zerg cannot merge with the Protoss to form the new Xel'Naga because Amon's corruption prevents this. Kerrigan might have been remade down to the DNA, but she's not PURELY primal Zerg. She's just a primal Zerg/terran hybrid, that is all.

Point 2: Raynor's death wouldn't be anything surprising. If he dies however, I hope that he does so knowing his actions made a difference, and in a good way.

Point 3: Not likely, unless Kerrigan gives them specific orders to follow Raynor's commands as if they're her own.

Point 4: I'm not sure where you're going with this.

Point 5: I'm still hoping the Tal'darim can reintegrate to Protoss society.

Point 6: When pigs fly. Even after WoL and HotS, it's still hard to say if Valerian will turn good or evil. Most likely the former, but it's still vague.

Point 7: That'll be SC3, which'll come out in 500 years from now.

- - - Updated - - -

When Amon gets defeated, an even bigger bad, ancient race that is older than the Xel'Naga make themselves known and says that Amon was just a pawn in their plans. And then, "here we go again...". If any of the main Sc characters die, they'll appear as force ghosts to help the next generation defeat this new threat. Oh, and the three races will probably find reasons to start fighting each other again now that there is no single threat against them all as well.

Hence why I hope for the Voice in the Darkness to appear. After all, the Xel'Naga never killed him....

I'm not saying my predictions are good storytelling, I'm simply going by Blizzard's track record.

4.) "Rohana means family."

It's a joke. Rohana is the preserver that joins us in LotV from the vaults of the Spear of Adun...




^ Hey hey, that sounds familiar!

Yeah, but it was a shame we don't get to see Zamara return. It was clear she did NOT die at the end of the DT Saga Twilight.

[Visions of Khas]

That would be nice, but unfortunately she's still stuck in a crystal alongside Ulrezaj. :\

[The_Blade]

Blizzard said they were not planning on bringing characters from the DT saga during the campaign panel.

Is anyone else sad that Starcraft Ghost never came out? That had the makings of a fun game, it looked like.

My predictions:
- Amon dies
- Zeratul dies
- Raynor dies
- Kerrigan is de-infested, living on in painful memories of everything that happened.
- Valerian Mengsk dies.

Well, technically that last one isn't so much a prediction as a wish. I hate the rat.

Yeah but what can close can also open. You really think the Protoss can't figure out how to transfer Zamara's spirit into another Khaydarin Crystal or something?

Letting Kerrigan live is fine, but it's better in her primal transformation state, so she'll have to live on knowing what she lost with Raynor. Raynor needs to live a bit longer until better terran heroes are introduced. Valerian's death is fine if he remains too ambiguous. Zeratul's death works, but only if he passes his teachings to someone else first.

Watched a video somewhere where they thought the Mothership Core was being controlled by a female-oriented artificial intelligence. It would be neat if Zamara was retained in LotV and presented as a digital intelligence like that. But I'm guessing there's some proprietary shit going on that prevents Dark Templar Trilogy-only characters from being used. Sigh.

Regardless she's a preserver. She has knowledge that few other Khalai Protoss have. So obviously she could figure out ways for her essence to be transferred to another vessel.

- Raynor dies
- Kerrigan is de-infested, living on in painful memories of everything that happened.

With an overly dramatic long kiss goodbye, or something similiar, to be sure.
