Retcons

[Gradius]

So what retcons did you guys see in WoL? This can include any direct contradictions, or anything else you wouldn't expect (like protoss teleporting back instead of bursting into energy upon death).

[The_Blade]

-The storyline of the spectres

-The Tal'Darim Boom

-The War Pigs (Mercenaries with the same name)

-Immortals and Dragoons

-Tassadar and the Overmind trapped

-The planted objective on the Zerg

-Korhal mega-urbaniztion

That's everything I can think of right now.

Raynor wanting to save Kerrigan instead of killing her.

-Kerrigan in general. They turned her into a damsel trapped in a monster's body in order to satisfy the need for her against the Dark One instead of the monster she CHOSE to become.

-Zeratul not knowing about the Hybrids "Who could have created them?"

Not particularly good with identifying retcons so correct me if I messed up.

[Drake Clawfang]

Stalkers being trapped within Warp Gates on Aiur - neither existed when Aiur was abandoned.

The Thor history - the implication it was refined from the Odin - clashes with its backstory on the website.

Of course the Tal'darim and everything about their presence.

She never CHOSE anything, she was captured and infected against her own will.
She is not an Arthas she is more a Sylvanas if you use Warcraft as an example.

I'm not talking about when she was infected, I'm talking about when she chose to betray, kill, and manipulate everyone in broodwar.

So? she was still the original Sarah Kerrigan trapped in the Queen of Blades' body.

-Zeratul not knowing about the Hybrids "Who could have created them?"

I think people are taking that quote from Zeratul farrr too literally. He did not forget what he saw Duran do -- no way Blizzard would F that up.

What proof do you have that she was 'trapped'? Everything seemed to imply she consciously did those things in Brood War.

Yes way Blizzard would F that up.

-Zeratul not knowing about the Hybrids "Who could have created them?"

He says "A... protoss and zerg Hybrid...Gods, an abomination! Who created this atrocity?"

Zeratul does know about the hybrids, otherwise we would have said "What is this?".

The hybrids might be created by other entities than only Duran.

"She" as in the Queen of Blades, not Sarah Kerrigan. The Queen of Blades was essentially her own entity, separate from Sarah and manifested out of Sarah's rage ( as explained by Tosh) and the basic Zerg instincts. All the actions in BW were thus the actions of the QoB, not Sarah; Sarah was powerless.
