Will we get to play as Xel'Naga... ever?

[Kimera757]

I like to call that book the StarCraft II manual.

...


What? That's just what I'm hoping. You can get all that lore from some places, though.

No need to be rude, i think this is a great picture and the artist has put alot of work and effort into it.

Back to topic

I would really love if there would be a fourth part of sc2, and it would be the xelnaga campaign,and the end of the campaign there would be a cliffhanger, that would make you want SC3 even more.

That means someone really thinked the Xel'Naga looked like that? Wow! i thinked that you just got a random sci-fi picture and posted it.
I agree in that the picture is great, but i wouldn't ever imagine the Xel'Naga like that. They're anatomically too much like us. The Protoss are very similar, but still have their differences. More than that would make it quite unbelievable.

I've never played Warcraft 3 much but you never play as the Burning Legion, right? Don't they have huge demon creatures and whatever that are only in the story mode? The Xel'Naga could work like that.


That screenshot looks like Protoss meets Tron.

Then how did the Zerg kill them...?

Sorry, I should be honest. I dont read any of the novels, so I didnt know the Zerg killed the Xel Naga.

[starcraftguy13]

Has anyone ever thought that the Xel'Naga may not have a form at all?, but rather tey are wipsers of moving light or made up of smaller creatures or beings, even though the subject of the Xel'Naga being on WoL is up to debate, I seriously do think the Hybrids/Energy Creatures will be on WoL or the latter two games

[MattII]

Unlikely, they had ships as of their being overrun by the Zerg, so it's hard to see how they could have gone from physical to energy in such a short time.

the story of the Zerg and Xel'naga is in the SC1 manual. i take it you didn't read that either?

anyways, this is starting to get a little off-topic. if you want to debate what the Xel'naga form is like, start anew thread. this thread's purpose to to debate whether the Xel'naga or even the hybrids will be controllable or playable at all during the event of the Trilogy. obviously, they'll be available in the map editor if they are units in the campaign, the thousands of QA batches that ask "can the map editor do so-and-so" have already established that. but for the single player campaign, if they do in fact have corporeal forms represented by a unit, will they be playable in any way?

3 races are good enough.

But, i think it's possible an expansion bringing Xel' Naga.

I doubt they will be playable in the single-player campaign. But it's hard to say with what little information we have about them.

[Triceron]

I don't know why people want to play the Xel'Naga. They were ancient scientists. Who wants to play scientists?

I'm assuming the threat of the Xel'Naga would be some creation they made during their absence.
