Tassadar's Voice...

[Brutaxilos]

so, everyone knows that tassadar's voice actor changed from michael gough to michael dorn in sc2. but apparently michael gough did and will still do deckard cain in diablo 3. so, if blizzard is still keeping him employed then why the heck did they change tassadars voice in sc2??

[Articorse]

I have no idea, but I share your pain, my friend.

Don't get me wrong, I love star trek, and Michael Dorn's acting had become pretty good by the end of DS9. But he is a horrible, HORRIBLE voice actor.

I think Blizzard is just messing with us.

Blizz: Look, we brought back Tassadar!
Fans: Cool!
Blizz: But he looks like a regular archon now!
Fans: Well.. okay.
Blizz: And his speech pattern is completely different, he's all vague and cryptic!
Fans: Okay, but...
Blizz: And we got rid of his old kickass VA and replaced him with Worf from Star Trek!
Fans: WHAT?!
Blizz: Enjoy the new Tassadar! His name is the only thing we kept!

Let's just pretend hes just the Dark Voice who's doing a really really bad impersonation of Tassadar. And the Overmind really is still the beast we know it as.

I can answer your question with an answer that is both obvious and probably not what you wanted to hear.

We do not know why the voice actor choice was made, nor will we probably ever know why the voice actor choice was made. We do know they had the opportunity to move forward with him, and chose otherwise. Anyone who replies to this thread will be replying with pure speculation and will not be able to answer your question without a direct blue quote, which unfortunately doesn't exist at this time >.<

In other words, aside from the potential of a lack of a blue quote, you knew all that we knew.

Tassadar's playable unit will have to have Worf quotes. "Ka'pla!"

"Tassadar... but.. you died.. slaying the overmind"

Jesus, who wrote this crap...

Zeratul shuold be saying

"What is this trickery?! Reveal yourself!" upon seeing Tassadar

Tassadar "No it is I, brother, I have returned from the darkness to grant you a dire warning"

Zeratul "How can this be?!"

Tassadar "Heed my call Zeratul, a great evil is upon us. The overmind is not what is seems. We have been tricked by a greater power in a grand scheme of things"

etc etc

There is no suspension of disbelief, there is at least some reason for Zeratul to be smart here.

But instead, in SC2, you're just force fed everything and the writing is just absolutely terrible. The Zerg could've conjured up tassadar's image as a hologram for all that matters and Zeratul just blindly listens to a fake hologram... what a load of crock shit writing.

The protoss are a PROUD people, yet they speak like plain people. I miss the old days of Protoss speech, Zeratul felt like he was a dark lord with his stance and his personality. Now he feels like a forgetful old fool starting to become senile and seeing dead friends...

"Tassadar... but.. you died.. slaying the overmind"

Should have been:
zeratul: yipee, you are alive...tasadar lets go celebrate...
tasadar: Yes my child, I'm alive wouldn't you believe it, like it wasn't obvious Blizzard is going to bring me back to make my death meaningless in the original Starcraft.
zeratul: Yes you are right, that means this mission I am on sucks balls and isn't important, because everyone who dies can just resurrect and all this killings is for crap, just to fill the blank sheet with some crap nonsense.
tasadar: Now you are getting to the grand scheme of things my padavan, may the force be with you.
zaratul: with this new knowledge I will transform into a human and make a thread to have the writing team fired, muhahahaha...
