I saw some cinematics early (No spoilers, just my conclusion)

[Nissa]

....I would argue, dear Econ, that Tygo isn't emotional enough. It's hard for us when our childhood completely dies.

I have seen the Legacy of the Void cinematics (thanks Donny....) and only because I haven't fully learned korean did my soul not flee my body. That was literally the worst option Blizzard could have taken, and they did it. They went for it, going neither to the right nor left, but straight at the single worst possible ending for Starcraft.

All I behold is an abomination.

Am I the only one who noticed that StarCraft 2 has gotten more anime-esque as it progressed? They literally have Kerrigan going Super Saiyan in LotV.

[Nissa]

Well, I've noticed they've really gone for that anime demographic. Fanfiction.net's Starcraft section used to be full of grittier, more warlike stories, but now it's basically just Kerri or Nova romances, and some SC2 retellings.

Kaise, without telling us anything specific, all you're doing is bragging that you've seen something we haven't. It makes you sound like an asshole. If you're not gonna tell us what you know, then don't say you know anything at all.

Take it from me, an actual asshole: don't be me.

So saying that I didn't like what I saw makes me an asshole?

If that's the case, that i'm totally fine with that.

People are too fucking offended over things that don't matter, anyway, so if they think I'm an ass for not liking something, SO BE IT.

I am the Anal Emperor.

Tygo, you're waaay too emotional about this.

Refer to my avatar.

as it will show you the way.

also what Nissa said.

*Having watched someone play the missions)

Arbiters are available near the end.

...

Welp, I can accept the terrible story, since the missions were actually suprisingly decent (as far as I've seen), Alarak is the best fucking character in SC2, and Arbiters are usable.

All is forgiven.

I'm serious.

[Nissa]

All is forgiven? Because of arbiters? Friend, you got some 'splanin to do. Or are you a custom map maker, and can take the resources to make a nice mod plot with arbiters?

Yup.

(I've failed at making maps due to a million reasons, but with these assets I'm thinking big)

MAKE NO MISTAKE.

The story is abysmal, and only some of the Protoss stuff (like Alarak) is tolerable and even decent, the MP will never be touched by me and the Story (espeically with that Kerri angel thing) makes me ill and I will never take a blizzard game seriously nor consider their lore canon past Warcraft 3/ Brood War.

But I've got me Arbiters, mate!

And I made a promise at some point a few months ago that if they were in the game in the way I desired them to be, I'd be pleased.

and thus I am pleased.

[Nissa]

Well, if you make maps, please make them with a decent plot. And if you ever decide you want to make a mod that's a little more on the big time, I'll do some writing for it.

...Some Aldy love would be nice.

I have some ideas, a lot of it is going to be a remake/reboot of my most recent SC1 campaigns, I'm in the process of making a mod wherein each major faction has a slightly different tech tree or aesthetic using as many assets I can get my hands on.

But I suck with the editor so it's not going to be a mind blowing experience, but I've got to start somewhere.

Meanwhile, I enjoy the gameplay and read science fiction, blood pressure is normal, serotonin and dopamine are in check, and brain is undamaged. Life is good over here.
