Wispers of Oblivion LotV Campaign Prologue

[Turalyon]

I'm actually sort of excited there's going to be some pre-missions, though. It means there's going to be more story.

I hear they're gonna focus on Zeratul in those pre-missions and I'm hoping he gets a better treatment than the first time we saw him in WoL. I don't think I can stand being any more embarrassed for Z if his current portrayal remains the same.

...and we learned nothing about any of the 'Toss we care about.

I wouldn't say nothing. We learnt what Z was doing all that time and that he may or may not have developed some form of Protoss Alzheimer's disease. That and Tassadar being still alive and all. Not to mention all the prophecy/cycle/Amon stuff... Oh, I guess that's stuff we give don't really care or give a 'Toss about, amirites?

I don't trust their ability to play Zer, but I'll at least have fun criticizing it.

I said we didn't learn anything about the Protoss we care about. I couldn't care less about new Zeratul, and the most interesting thing about Tassadar was that he was inexplicably voiced by Michael Dorn. I like to think it's because Gough wouldn't say those dumb lines.

Even when talking about the angels and demons. On the battlefield... of Eteeeerrrrnity?

I'd say it was because they wanted a little more star power for their game; but with Tricia Helfer, and absolutely no mention of Worf in any media, I find that unlikely now.

Yeah, my vote is artistic integrity. We all love Gough and Glynnis, but they're very familiar with what made Starcraft so great in the first place. They'd be very unhappy with the retcons made with their characters (Clotworthy toughed it out, I guess). Actually, I don't know. Gough did come back for Heroes of the Storm, so it might have been scheduling on his part. Also, I heard a rumor that they didn't like Glynnis' voice in original Starcraft. I don't know why.

Huh? If not Zeratul or Tassadar (their "newness" in Sc2 aside), who are the mainline Protoss characters, there are no other Protoss we really care about (from the knowledge of the games only that is) aside from Artanis. We actually did learn new stuff about Z and T/the Protoss we care about - it's just that no-one really cared for the new stuff we learnt about them.

Also, I heard a rumor that they didn't like Glynnis' voice in original Starcraft. I don't know why.

Probably not sexy enough? God knows why they'd want to associate allure with a hideous and mutated creature that is Kerrigan in the first place though.

I think the real reason is that Glynnis wasn't onboard with Blizz' direction of having Kerrigan fawn over Raynor. She had mentioned in the past that their relationship was more of comrade-in-arms type of thing rather than some overtly romantic one.

[Gradius]

Glynnis tried out and they ultimately didn't pick her. We had a farewell article to her on SCL before WoL came out.

I think Metzen just wanted to hang out with Worf and Number 6. It probably satisfied a deep-seated nerd fetish of his.

[Turalyon]

^ It's kinda funny still. In one of the lore panels SCL covered in 2007, there was mention of Metzen wanting another guy to do Raynor in Sc2 instead of Clotworthy because he was closer to what he originally envisioned and yet we got Clotworthy in the end anyway. Then again, it also said they liked Glynnis' voice when she came back to test at the time, too.

Have you all seen the new designs for what seem to be the Tal'darim? I'm really hoping that once you fully 'convert' a tribe or group, you gain the ability to unlock their building appearances for additional bonuses. If that was the case then they would add a LOT more playability, since I'd go through and want to play as every tribe each time.

If that were the case I'd go all Sargas and Auriga on Amon's ass.

I just hope they don't make the Judicator all jerks this time. I'm sick of them being extra-cranky, shallow clones of Aldaris.
