Tassadar's Voice...

[Josue]

but this game could have come out about 9 years ago and been what SC2 is today.

No... considering the hardware it needs, it was impossible for it to have come 9 years ago the way it is right now, I guess it would look... like Warcraft 3 instead.

I know its highly disappointing that Tassadar's Voice wasn't the same as in SC1, I personally think details like that one are what keep nostalgic SC1 fans complaining. Yet, to make it worse, not even the portrait was similar, that was not Tassadar, at least not the Tassadar we all know and respect.
Tassadar, You sure 'bout that? Ascended to a "Higher plane of existence" and became like that? (portrait, voice) The Overmind WHAT?
Go tell such lie stories to your grandma!

The game is just aimed at different players now, specially since wow got into the scene. Maybe after they have gotten all these complains they will take a different approach to HotS!

Mr. Worf: "We are being hailed captain."
Captain Picard: "On screen."
Zeratul: "Greetings young captain Picard, I come with tidings of doom to your Federation."
Picard: "What? Zeratul? You're not supposed to be hailing us from the SC universe!"
Zeratul: "Yes, I know, but ever since those pesky Blizzard writers started mixing too much crap into our otherwise raw and coollooking universe where we would see heads exploding in prerendered cinematics, we can't really figure out what to do anymore in order to play out our roles well. And since Mr. Worf was so nice to come and pretend to be Tassadar..."
Picard: "Disengage communications, prepare for warpspeed at my mark. We're going back to Earth to bring some creativity into the Blizzard writing team, maybe even teach Bobby Kotick a lesson or two... Engage!"

Card to Play cinematic. Marine helmet -- rolling. Head -- inside. 'nuff said.

I don't know why the hell they need to change voices, if they can use the original voice actors. Unless their voice has changed and isn't appropiate anymore, but i think that's not the case.

They're making a 2nd part of a game, not a new game. They should stick with whatever makes the game feel more connected, not go in the opposite direction. The same applies for the dialog, they should have tried to stick to the character's personalities and dialogs a little more, to keep the SC1 feel.

i want to know why suddenly all the protoss sound like bi*ches (irritating way of talking and obvious lack of balls)...save for the tal'darim but..yeah...its kinda creepy...

To be fair, he had the same facial structure. It's the see-through business that annoys people.

I'm sorry, but what do you think a non-physical entity is going to look like?

Same facial structure? Do you mean two eyes and no mouth?

That was the Archon portrait, recycled for Tassadar. That was what annoys people, that such an iconic character in the StarCraft lore doesn't get a proper, unique portrait.

[flabortast]

He probably will in LotV

Let me get this straight...



These two have the same facial structure?
