SC2 HOTS Wish lists and improvements

[senervo]

I too support a sad ending for all races besides protoss - these guys have gotten shafted on too many occasions.

i expect a sad ending for protoss no matter who wins...
they've pretty much lost almost everything of worth...

so long as this won't turn out to be a hppy ending for terrans i'm sold...
a couple of zerglings feasting on mengsk's head would be a very happy ending for me, as well as Urun high-fiving Mohandar while psi-imploding a puny terrans head... power drives any sane being to selfishness...

I want epic war scenes cinematics....not stupid western.

[Twilice]

Well sort of both,
HotS starts out quite mild, kerrigan and jim get it "their ways". But we have not seen even a single bit with the "realy" protoss we used to know. It should look like kerrigan and jim get a more happy ending, but at the price of protoss. More like it looks like a happy ending, but in reality it isn't. And the last few missions everything will be torn up.

In the last campaign, I want it to be a really sad ending for both zerg and terran (or a more of confused ending where there are no clear winners) While protoss also lose more and more, but in the end they have established a new stronghold, like orc in wc3.

I mean if not, there won't be any protoss at all if there was a starcraft 3.....

I wanna see Kerrigan give Jim a happy ending. The rest of the story has gone to shit with the lack of mature/complex plot.

I guess I know how Starwars fans felt after Phantom Menace.

[Godless]

As far as I'm concerned, Terran should be the big losers in HotS. I'd be happy if they brought Kerrigan back only to take her away again, if Tarsonis got nuked to oblivion, and if Mengsk still lived by the end of it.

An added bonus to that would be that we'd get more cinematics of marines dying. C'mon Blizz, all your best cinematics were of terran rednecks getting slaughtered!

Compared to these classics, the new cinematics kinda blow IMO.

I am so sad that they separated "Kerrigan" from the "Queen of Blades."

I really hope Kerrigan's greed gets the better of her, and she ends up despising Jim for uninfesting her, and goes on a quest to regain control of the swarm.

Then, Jim has to decide whether or not to kill her, and awesome plot ensues.

I was thinking:
1) Kerrigan betrays Jim and kills a bunch of people again.
2) Jim remembers his promise to Fenix and busts a cap into Kerrigan's face.

It all comes down to how Blizzard decides to play the Kerrigan card, and until we know that it's almost impossible to speculate on the plot of HotS.

For all we know, Kerrigan could be paralyzed, in a coma. She could have full control of the Swarm, partial control, or maybe she's lost all her psychic abilities. She might have forgotten who she was, or what she did as the Queen of Blades. There's a hundred directions Blizzard could go with this, I just hope they follow the spirit of the original Starcraft.

[Quirel]

I agree. But unfortunately, after seeing how cheesy WoL was (Raynor's speech that was somehow broadcasted over the radio? So lame), I kinda doubt there's going to be a sad ending. There might be a mysterious ending that implies it's not over, but that's also a hack move imo unless really really well done.

Mengsk wins out through manipulating and positioning himself in a position of maximum gain, gains control over the Zerg using Psi-Disruptor data scavenged from the UED remnants (Guys who packed it down and shipped it to Braxis) and nukes the Protoss into the pre-Sapient age before taking on the UED Belligerants in a war that is sure to leave a large portion of the galaxy devoid of civilization more complex than raider bands and nomadic miners.

Oh, and Raynor's speech was broadcasted, probably because he had a command module or an uplink into a general channel. I mean, come on. Valarian starts bankrolling him, and you think Schwann didn't pump Valarian for the good stuff?

I would like to see these:

1 some cinematics as spoken by Michael Liberty

2 improvement on the connections promised between the Dark Templar Saga and SC2 than the simple use of the Taldarim

3 some side levels granting insights as to why unit X was decomissioned (i.e., Lurker, Dragoon, Scout, Devourer, Valkyrie, Vulture)

4 some more of the witty bantor between Kerrigan and Zeratul (more in the style of the Queen of Blades novel, but their in-game interactions were good)

5 at least 1 or 2 Protoss side levels depicting, briefly, Zeratul presenting the prohecy to Artanis and his people and their reaction to current events

6 (The so-called and obligatory sarcastic option): Jim and Sarah making terran/zerg hybrid babies. Raynorlings!
