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

Artanis character changed a lot from the end of Broodwar to Wings of Liberty but there is little reference on WoL. I think LotV will need a character to fill in a closer role to Zeratul kind of like the Fenix to Tassadar on old SC, Tychus to Raynor on WoL, or Duran to Kerrigan on BW.

Siding with Hanson risks angering the Protoss for the possibility of saving some colonists which is the morally "Jim" thing to do. Also has the benefit of good publicity if the colonists make it, declare independence and hail Raynors raiders as the heroes who are protecting them against the Zerg. Killing the colonists is the safe decision and the one which goes against the "jim" morality.

As for Tosh, we all saw how little the spectres care for collatoral casualties in the war against Mengsk, so breaking the prison open is morally dubious no matter how you cut it. It is also bad publicity, and whatever Horner says you can't just take his word for it that all of New Folsom prison were wrongfully accused, shit rainbows and wouldn't harm a fly if they could avoid it. That place looked like it might have held millions of prisoners.

So what's your problem? That they didn't have enough impact on the gameplay?

I think i explained it pretty well. It changes nothing. I will say it again: nothing at all on the remaider of the game.
The only difference, is the mission-end cinematic, and that you get a different unit. That's it.
You don't play a mission later, and someone says "Eh! You killed the guys at Haven, you motherf*cker!!!", and your units get attacked. That's a difference in gameplay.
Or for example, in one mission, Spectres kill people they shouldn't.
All that you mentioned is how you feel about the mission, but nothing of that makes any difference in any other mission, so doesn't changes gameplay.

Gameplay is NOT > storyline in SP, at least not if the story doesn't make sense.

They used branching missions only to have more troubles in the story, and failed to give the players meaningfull choices, except in Belly of the Beast/Shatter the sky, that actually modify something after the choice is made.

It doesn't really matters if they attack the platform from the "underside" or from the top. It's swarming with flyers, what difference does that make? They fly around, and pwn everyone there. I think that it should be fairly obvious that something's wrong after they blow the first reactor. Probably they "fix" that by saying that the other choice was canon, as you say.

Maybe most of the flyers died while killing a lot of BCs, or they were busy with the huge amount of BCs seen at the ending cinematic. Except for that ending view, the game gives the impression that the fleet was pwned by the Zerg flyers when they approach Char, which is confusing, as then the ground forces would be in really deep shit.

Here's how I understood it.

After the whole talk with Mengsk, the Dominion forces in orbit started to be attacked, throwing commanders into panic. The original plan was to get into atmosphere ASAP, with disastrous results and the majority of ground forces being survivors of crashes. None of the Battlecruisers made it planetside without crashing into the ground as scrap metal.

Ground forces rally and engage in heavy fighting, while the remaining Battlecruisers are struggling in orbit with Zerg flyers. They can't approach the planet because they are preoccupied with fighting. The majority of Zerg flyers are above the planet's atmosphere, fighting the Battlecruisers, and the remainder are either nesting or fighting ground forces.

Raynor, after deciding to blow up the nest, finds usable transports and receives a small amount of help from the Battlecruisers in orbit to get the forces at the beginning of the mission. They get by unnoticed because the nest has Zerg flyers nesting, not flying around. They would only fly out of the nest when Raynor began attacking, after noticing something was wrong. This also explains the Leviathan appearing after you destroy most of the nest.

As for the end of the ending cinematic, there's no indication of how much time passed between Raynor's shooting of Tychus and his walk into the sunset. It could have been hours until Kerrigan gained consciousness, enough time to take care of the supposedly uncoordinated Zerg.

also she is hot... for a protoss...she doesn't have a mouth though...

Who needs a mouth when you have psionics? That shit can do everything.

That could work, if correctly shown. It's still quite stupid that their general went down so fast, however. They're supposed to keep a formation to avoid stuff like that. It's the general, if he goes down, who's going to give the orders?

Kerrigan could have known Warfield was on the Helios, and sent a suicide-run towards it, assuming it was in formation. If you've got thousands of scourge, some must make it through.

If they do co-op gameplay like I'm wishing for, wouldn't more than one protagonist be possible?

Regardless, I thought Zeratul was practically confirmed as the main dude way back when the trilogy was announced. Otherwise, I'd like to be Selendis. After all, she is the executor.

[Kimera757]

I think she and Artanis won't see eye to eye, and both will be "faction leaders".

Zeratul will try to ally with the two of them, along with Mohandar, Urun, and other tribal leaders.

Selendis works FOR Artanis. He's basically her boss. They're part of the same faction. Keep up with the details man.
