Who do you want to see become the Legacy of the Void protagonist?

[Zeraszana]

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

That is not a Zeratul line. A Zeratul line would be more like:

"Tassadar? Is my mind so far gone that I would start seeing the dead?"

"Tassadar? What trickery is this? Show yourself, deceiver!"

This.I.Totally.Agree.With.

[Norfindel]

ROFL. Mohandar > Tassadar

This.I.Totally.Agree.With.

Me too.

[Brutaxilos]

zeratul, assuming he gets a new voice actor and some better lines

[TheEconomist]

This.I.Totally.Agree.With.

DuGalle Voice: I am inclined to agree.

Whoever didn't vote Tassadar has no taste. :P

[KDraconis]

Whoever didn't vote Tassadar has no taste. :P

Ditto. xD

Whoever didn't vote Tassadar has no taste. :P

Old Tassadar? Sure. New Tassadar? No.

Besides, given the subject matter of this trilogy, Tassadar doesn't serve much purpose. He's had his time.

Wait, what? You really think Zeratul's senility can be ascribed to the events of BW and Dark Origins?

I can understand that he's changed, of course he has, he went through hell and back. Actually, he's probably not even back yet. He's probably lost a lot of his earlier confidence. But the things he went through don't cause changes like his. He sounds retarded, speaking slowly with idiotic pauses between every two words, always confused about what's going on, narrating things to himself.

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

That is not a Zeratul line. A Zeratul line would be more like:

"Tassadar? Is my mind so far gone that I would start seeing the dead?"

The WoL line sounds like he's saying things out loud, because he has Alzheimer's and needs to remind himself what has happened. Not to mention it makes him incredibly gullible. Why would he believe someone, who claims to be his old friend simply because he says so? Zeratul has enough powerful enemies that would try to deceive him. One of them, need I remind anyone, is one of the most powerful psychics ever, who it just so happens loves to mess with his head. How does he know this is truly Tassadar and not an illusion by Kerrigan?

The line I supplied is one of doubt in Zeratul's own abilities to see things clearly. After everything he's went through, it's only natural that he consider how broken his psyche must now be. See, if Zeratul hadn't lost everything and been through hell, it'd probably even be something like:

"Tassadar? What trickery is this? Show yourself, deceiver!"

As for Kerrigan - yes, her infestation CHANGED her, it didn't DEVELOP her. In fact, what it did was cease the development of the human Kerrigan persona and create a new Kerrigan persona, which then went through a lot of development. Now that Kerrigan is no longer infested, we will have her original persona back, which can then start being developed again. Though if she was actually conscious during the past 4+ years, then her mind will probably be quite broken and not at all like she was before she was infested.

Thanks, I think I see how it's out of character. Suffice to say that I didn't notice at first, so maybe I have a higher tolerance for odd dialouge "Begone vile wretch, you are no longer welcome here" he says to Kerrigans murder and manipulation of Aldaris, and "But you said that revenge was secondary to defeting the UED!" both seemed okay to me until I started thinking about it.

[Articorse]

Thanks. I don't agree with your problems, but I think I see where your coming from. Suffice to say that I managed to enjoy BW for what it was despite having it's own share of character derailment "Begone vile wretch, you are no longer welcome here" he says to Kerrigans murder and manipulation of Aldaris. So I don't know, maybe I'm just more willing to overlook inconsistences than you are.

Actually, Zeratul banished Kerrigan for the murder only. It was quite obvious that Aldaris was going to die one way or another, he had no intention of giving up and would've fought them to the end. But Kerrigan overstepped her boundaries by interfering. Remember, at this point in the story, they still didn't know everything about her, they still didn't know she corrupted Raszagal. So, yeah, considering Kerrigan helped them earlier, and with the amount of information that they had at that point, banishment was the right choice. Maybe not so in hindsight, but they couldn't know how powerful she'd become later.

Either that, or I'm not remembering the campaign clearly enough.

EDIT:

Ah, I replied before you edited your post. The 'revenge was secondary' was just Mengsk being Mengsk. He always thinks he's got the best plan and he's the master manipulator. He thought he had figured Kerrigan out and that gave him false confidence, which backfired severely. Mengsk is smart and a good manipulator, but he's cocky as all hell - in this particular instance his cockiness blinded him.

[Louis]

It should have been obvious to Zeratul she was hiding something, except he lets it go without a word. I had many other problems with the characters of that Protoss campaign, but I'll leave them alone for now.

Arcturus Cocky, AND trusting? Yeah, I doubt it.

As for Kerrigan, she had some character development, but like most of the characters in the game she existed primarily to forward the plot. Most of her character development was in True Colors where she reveals her motives for Duke and Arcturus, and her very unzerglike reaction to Jims accusations, and in the after mission briefing and her "weariness of the slaughter" which is confirmed when she leaves everyone alone at the conclusion of BW. I'd go so far as to bet that she only wanted to kill the cerebrates, but then the UED forced her hand.
