enslavers III? MAJOR SPOILER IN THIS THREAD FOR DARK TEMPLAR SAGA: TWLIGHT

[protoss wrath]

after reading the synopsious for dark templar saga: twlight (major spolier)

Hidden Content:

ulerazj gets trapped in a kahalidrin crystal with Zamara. Do any of you think he could be freed and fighting him would the the basis for a mini campaign or an enslavers 3? in starcraft 2 could we see an enslavers 4 or 5 for the expansions?

Also why was there no voice acting in the origonal enslavers?

[Triceron]

Voice acting is expensive, and Enslavers was a post-release side campaign that had nothing to do with the main storyline. It didn't need voice acting.

Still waiting for you guys to get used to the "we have more than 1 forum to post in" concept!

Moved to SC Universe Lore.

Honestly, I'd rather see Ulrezaj feature in the main storyline. But I bet he'd be in a sidestory; plenty of people who play StarCraft II won't have read the Dark Templar Saga.

He'd be a PitA to fight in campaign mode. Ow!

[Pandonetho]

Ulrezaj sounds seriously like a total badass and I as well would love to see him be featured in the main campaign. However, this is unlikely as he has hardly anything to do with Terrans (aka the Terran campaign) besides Jake Ramsey and maybe Valerian.

[Kimera757]

Maybe he'll escape in Legacy of the Void?

EDIT: WARNING, THIS POST MAY CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS TO THE THIRD BOOK IN THE DARK TEMPLAR TRILOGY, "TWILIGHT". You have been warned!

It's possible. Remember, the vat creatures? It's alluded that they are Hybrids. Why would Ulrezaj be helping create Hybrids (Which we know now are the Xel'Naga themselves)? Plus, it was mentionned he was trying to access the memories of the Dark Templar...Why? That's another point that isn't explored in DT: Twilight.

He probably knows what Duran and Zamara knew of the xel'naga, and was either trying to recreate them, or prevent their creation. (I don't see how creating hybrids would stop the recreation of the xel'naga, provided there are still some protoss and zerg left alive. Or maybe that was the point.)

Plus, it was mentionned he was trying to access the memories of the Dark Templar...Why? That's another point that isn't explored in DT: Twilight.

Dunno what was so dangerous in those memories, but he did access them. He used those memories to turn himself into a very powerful, long-lasting dark archon. I wish we knew his component personalities.

SPOILER WARNING


The creatures in the vats are not Xel'naga. Hybrids, yes, but not Xel'naga. They're an imitation more than anything. Artificial and created outside the regular Xel'naga cycle.

From the book, page 217: (MAJOR SPOILER!)

His Stomach churned. "Those . . . whatever they were . . . that's the new Xel'Naga? A genetic combination of Protoss and Zerg?"
"NO", Zamara answered swiftly, and Jake closed his eyes in relief. "No. Those---things---are truly abominations. There is nothing in them of the natural cycle of the Xel'Naga. I grieve for the protoss who were so violated. The Xel'Naga are implacable in their way, but not to that extreme. What you saw, Zeratul, and what perhaps we also beheld inthe caverns is something else entirely. Something very wrong, something that should not be."

EDIT: I think the intent of the hybrids is to interfere with the cycle. The Xel'Naga don't appear to be necessarily malevolent. It's a cycle that's been reoccurring countless times. The Zerg weren't meant to attack and destroy the Xel'Naga fleets. Something apparently interfered. The hybrids will be the malevolent force in the trilogy, rather than the Xel'naga.... maybe

Hmm...So maybe that means that Duran and Ulrezaj are trying to recreate the Xel'Naga, but that they were not affiliated with the Xel'Naga themselves...Why would they need to create the Xel'Naga, then?
