Zeratul side missions are terrible

[Gradius]

but if you think about it for any length of time, it's just errant nonsense.

Yes: the line's raving stupidity prevented me from being immersed in the story because it made no sense.

Again, how do you know this stuff? Take us through the line of thinking that leads you to believe that Zeratul is talking about nonsense. Share your expertise of negative suns and entropy of realities with us.

There's a difference between not understanding a line and a line making no sense. You're basically saying that you know everything, therefore if something makes no sense to you, it must be rampant nonsense.

Zeratul line regarding who made the Hybrid could be taken in a different way

a)not every did dark origins, or googles all this up
b) the one duran was making could be very different from this one, making him question who made this type.

You get to control like 5 heroes. And I gotta say. I love Artanis' voice. It was my favorite protoss voice in BW and I'm glad they either went with the same actor or found someone who sounds very close.

Jack Ritschel, who also voiced Zeratul, General Duke, the Overmind and the High Templar, was the voice actor for Artanis. (This guy had talent for sure, and some of the most awesome voices in the game!)

Even though he died, I'm glad to see at least Artanis' voice in SC2 sounds like his!

Zeratul's been spouting gibberish for a long time, but at least in SC and BW it was well scripted gibberish, and actually gave us content to talk about, such as negative realities and entropy suns.

Are you sure? Because I could have sworn I heard Artanis' VA provide voice over for a trailer I saw recently.

Just as we can swear that Artanis sounds exactly like he did in BW. :P
It may just be a voice actor with a very similiar voice.

[Gurluash]

Aye, they did well on Artanis.
I wish they had Tricial Helfer emulate Glynnis more.
Same with some of the returning units. The Vulture sounds so bored comparing to his old voice.

Wraith and Firebat are awesome though.

[Gradius]

Totally disagree that they did good on Artanis. He lacks the booming voice of SC1 where it sounds like he's talking inside your very skull, as do pretty much all Protoss. The Blizz sound department has completely stopped using the reverse-echo effect all-together....which is a huge mistake.

Take a look at an Artanis VO I did a while back. I would much rather have something like this.

[Visions of Khas]

The sound effects could use some work, but I slightly prefer your version of Artanis over what we've currently got. I was much more impressed by him in BroodWar. I wouldn't say his voice was ever booming, but he had more gravitas than he does now.

I agree on the Vulture.
As for Tricia Helfer, even though she doesn't sound like Glynnis, she still sounds lik Kerrigan in a way. Basically, it's not Glynnis, but it's not really awful either.

[SpikeVorador]

btw, the planet where you start the first mission is the one at the ending of The Dark Templar Saga?

if it was, what was doing Kerrigan there? o.O
